Chapter 488 I Want Her to Regret


    When Fanny heard that Joseph was free, she was ecstatic. She did not lose any time in getting in


    touch with James to find out when he would being back to Riverdon. James had told her before


    that he woulde back once Joseph was free.


    Fanny’s eyes were beaming with anticipation. After removing the evidence that had ended up in


    Kaydron’s possession, she was able to leave for Riverdon.


    “It’s true, of course,” said Scarlet. She waspelled to stress, “There was never a mistake with


    Joseph! It was time for him to be freed


    sooner.”


    She was convinced that Joseph had not harmed Ang at all during the whole affair. Joseph’s arrest


    had left her heartbroken. She wished. she could forget about his false arrest now that he was free. She


    was desperate to get Joseph back home since she felt bad for him.


    Scarlet was walking quickly, her feet going fast. She walked a few steps. and saw that Fanny was still.


    She pushed her to move, saying, “Come on, Fanny, let’s pick up Joseph with Mom.”


    Fanny abruptly snapped out of her reverie and followed Scarlet’s example, saying, “Okay!”


    After Joseph got home, they could arrange to go back to Riverdon. In a hurry to go to the police station,


    they left the residence. In the meantime, Joseph was perplexed by the police officers‘ nk


    expressions and actions.


    “These are the things you own. Grab them. The officer shoved

    Joseph’s bag and its contents when he did not respond.


    Joseph stood at the door of the detention chamber, still as a statue.


    After observing his dazed and disoriented condition, the officer led him to a chair in the waiting room.


    He sat him down and said, “Just wait here.”

    He turned to go after that.


    Joseph murmured, “Can I leave now?” in a fog.


    His expectations and dreams had been lowered by his days in incarceration, from which he was still


    recovering. When he was freed, he felt numb and could not respond.


    His question caused the officer to pause, then say, “Yes, you can leave. now if you wish.”


    Actually, Joseph would not have needed to notify his family when he was released if his condition had


    been better. Once he was free, he might have easily called out to them. But when they learned of his


    release, Joseph’s incredulity and unwillingness toply forced them. to step in and arrange for his


    departure. Joseph stood at the door, staring straight ahead despite their best attempts to talk him into


    it.


    They called his family since, despite being out, it was clear he was not in his right mind.


    Fortunately, after being given clothing and having some things taken, he was persuaded to leave. Even


    now, Joseph continued to attempt to exin his release.

    Joseph raised the unexpected question, “Was I wrongly arrested before?,” which startled the police


    after they had told him he was free. and advised him to go right away. Does Ang have any


    ountability?”


    He made eye contact with the officer, emotional, as though the question was really important.


    “What do you mean?” the officer said, seeming perplexed. Joseph mentioned Ang, and the police


    needed to be made aware of her, notpletelyprehending.


    Joseph seized the officer’s hand and said, “Doesn’t she have to face the consequences?“, unfazed by


    the uncertainty. She was the reason I was wrongfully arrested!”


    His eyes glowed with malice as he said.


    Over the past few days, Joseph’s thoughts had been racing through his. cell. Although there was no


    physical mistreatment throughout his incarceration, the emotional suffering he went through was


    unbearable. At first, all he could hope for was the quick rescue of his family. Nevertheless, when the


    days stretched into weeks and he saw James‘ repeated disys of powerlessness, hopelessness


    engulfed him.


    It dawned on him that James, whom he had always thought to be unbeatable, was not going to be of


    assistance this time. It was the first time he had ever seen James so helpless, and the Kins Family in


    Riverdon might not be supremely powerful, but they certainly would not be so docile.


    He felt terrible and helpless, and he could not help but hate Ang

    when he saw James’s face of frustration. He was certain that Ang had to be the one holding him


    back. So he swore in his silence that he would make her regret it if he could escape.


    It was increasingly difficult for Joseph to control his wrath the more of it he felt. “I am going to make her


    regret all she did to me.


    The officer retreated immediately as he saw Joseph be more and more upset, even reaching out


    violently. Luckily, he moved back in time, preventing Joseph from being able to touch him. But after


    failing to make his grab, Joseph got increasingly angrier and tried to grasp anything to calm himself


    down. Recognizing the threat, the officer had to put him in restraint.


    Joseph fought a few times even while he was pinned down, but he was unable to extricate himself


    despite his best efforts.


    “Joseph!” There was a nervous, frantic voiceing from outside, and there were fast approaching,


    rushed footsteps.


    It was none other than Fanny and Scarlet, apanied by another policeman.


    “What are you up to? How are the police able to use force?


    Scarlet’s already thin and harsh voice seemed even more irritating in her nervous state. She let out a


    yell and hurried to remove the policeman holding Joseph. Fanny, who was beside her, moved quickly to

    When the policeman noticed Scarlet and Fanny getting closer, he was unsure of how to step in.

    “Joseph.” With a smile and tears in her eyes, Scarlet took Joseph by the arm and said, “Joseph, let’s


    head home.” Our goal is to get you back home.”


    She tried to take Joseph by the arm, but no matter how hard she tried, she was unable to move him.


    Joseph sat there on the ground,


    motionless and dejected.


    With haste, Fanny knelt before Joseph and spoke, “Joseph, we’vee to take you home.”


    Seated on the ground, Joseph stared at them in a stupor before asking in a raspy voice, “Fanny?”


    “Joseph, it’s me.” Fanny approached Joseph and softly called out to him.
