Chapter 286
The night was devoid of all sound. Nights in prison were especially gloomy and terrifying. While in
her sleep, Megan felt someone grabbing on her legs. Just when she opened her eyes, she fell off
the bed with a loud thud, which was followed by some giggles. Megan quickly knelt on the floor like
a tamed ve.
Meanwhile, a woman who seemed like the leader of a gang sat on her bed with one foot on it while
scrutinizing Megan with a smirk on her face. “You sure know your ce.” Going by the name of
Hannah, that woman was the ringleader among the women in prison. She led a gang, and whoever
that defied her would be beaten up.

Life in prison was boring and listless. Since they needed to somehow kill time, Megan, who
happened to be a little missy, became their target. Ever since she came into jail, she was constantly
beaten up and tortured. She was even forced to drink their pee and lick Hannah’s shoes. Although
she used to defy them, she gave in after being beaten into submission.
“I’m tired. Massage my legs.” As soon as Hannah gave her orders, Megan quickly started
massaging her legs. She dared not disobey Hannah, as every act of defiance would incur various
forms of torture on her.
“You’re putting in too much strength!” Hannah kicked her in the chest. Toppling over, Megan didn’t
regain her senses until a whileter. She resumed massaging Hannah’s leg upon crawling back to
thetter’s side, only to be kicked in the chest once again. “Press harder!”
Again and again, she was kicked over by Hannah, but she had to resume massaging Hannah’s leg
after every kick, while the other women caressed her face and tug on her hair from time to time.
Fortunately, Hannah seemed to be tired that day, so she let Megan off the hook without doing much
else.
The drama settled down soon after, a dreary silence once again permeating the prison. Megan wept
tears of sorrow, wondering how much longer she had to suffer. She was sentenced to two years in
prison, but it had only been a little over a month; there was still such a long way to go. She was
reminded of Selena, who was her only hope of getting out of prison, as Selena might be able to
orchestrate an early release.
However, the man Selena was seeking for was none other than Pierre! Knowledge of the fact that
Selena was impregnated by Pierre, as well as the fact that both Joaquin and Jameson were her
sons instead of Meredith’s, would bring about a great upheaval in the outside world.
Thus, she was concerned for Meredith’s safety. With Pierre’s methods and Selena’s status now,
Meredith might very well lose her life. Megan had conflicted feelings regarding the choice, as on
one handy her freedom, whereas on the other was her sister. After spending the night in
contemtion, she put in a request for a visit from her family.
Meanwhile, Selena was driving while pondering if she should go home. Since Pierre’s house was
beside hers, she wondered how he would react if he saw the house was lit. However, she ended up
deciding against it on the grounds that John might target the house if she did.
Instead, she came to Jude’s house, arriving when thetter was packing up. Her arrival greatly
startled Jude. After that, she told Jude of Juniper’s condition, as well as her reason foring back
to Astoria in secret.
Jude was worried. “How’s Juniper doing?”
“She’s not in much danger in the meantime. The medicine she took was effective on her, so we still
have ample time.”
“That’s a relief. Why don’t you go to Pierre for help?”
In the end, it was inevitable that they mentioned Pierre, which prompted Selena to m up.
“He’s the most influential figure in the area, after all. On his turf, there’s nothing he can’t pull off. No
matter if you’re trying to find Juniper’s biological father or whatever else it is that you’re trying to do,
he can help. Furthermore, getting his support will be the fastest route.”
