Chapter 498: 176: Viola: Everything Has Me (Second Update)



She made a perfect portrayal of a shrew.

The female cop in charge of the interrogation slammed on the table, “Quiet!”

The aura of authority emanating from the policewoman instantly subdued Beatrice Black.

Beatrice dared not shout any longer, but still put on a tough exterior, lowering her voice, “What are you acting so fierce for! I haven’t committed a crime, if my son starves, you’re going to hear from me! You really think being a cop makes you superior?”

When Ryan Diet came home, if he didn’t see the meal she had prepared, he would surely get angry.

Ryan Diet is the only heir of the Swantz Family, and also Beatrice’s only son. Thinking of her son possibly starving at home, she couldn’t help but feel distressed.

The policewoman, after understanding the whole situation, was already very angry. Now, hearing Beatrice Black constantly bringing up her son, she was even more infuriated, “In your eyes, aren’t daughters human? Are your daughters meant to be thrown away, sold off by you? How can there be such a mother in this world!”

Who would believe, in the 21st century, people like Beatrice Black and Gregory Diet still exist!

It’s utterly inhumane.

They abandoned three daughters, sold two, and used one as a money-making tool.

Beatrice retorted confidently, “Without me as their mother, would there even be those few burdensome girls? How I treat them is our family’s business! What does it have to do with you! You’d best not meddle!”

Back in the day, there were many who favored boys over girls.

Those with better conditions would have an ultrasound at five months pregnant, and if it was a girl, they would abort, otherwise, they would keep it.

People like them living in the countryside, with average conditions, could only resort to abandoning them after giving birth.

Listening to Beatrice’s remarks, the policewoman frowned deeply, “Listen, your actions have already involved intentional homicide and human trafficking! You’re looking at a minimum sentence of three years, maximum ten! And you’re still thinking about going home? Keep dreaming!”

“Who are you trying to scare!” Beatrice scoffed, continuing, “When exactly do you plan to let me go?”

She is Rachel’s mother, and she decided to marry Rachel off to Zachary Mayhew, what’s wrong with that?

Does being a mother mean she doesn’t even have the right to decide who her daughter marries?

People like this are really beyond salvation!

The policewoman didn’t say any more.

On the other side.

Rachel was sitting in the office chair, describing what had happened over the past few days through sobs and tears.

If she could, she wished with all her heart that this was just a dream.

Unfortunately.

This was not a dream.

Everything that happened was her own personal experience.

The policeman beside her had slightly red eyes as he listened, standing up to pour her a cup of hot water, “Have some water first.”

Rachel is eighteen this year.

She just got into university and under normal circumstances, she should’ve spent an enjoyable summer vacation with her friends, before embarking on college life.

But what about now?

She had gone through unimaginable darkness.

The policeman taking notes was forty-five this year, his daughter is about the same age as Rachel.

He couldn’t imagine how he would react if his own daughter went through all this!

However, although Rachel didn’t have good parents, she did have a good sister, and a devoted friend who would cross mountains and traverse waters for her.

“Thank you.” Rachel accepted the cup, taking a sip of water.

The policeman looked toward Viola Thompson, then said, “Young girl, compared to others, you are already very lucky.”

At least, Rachel was rescued.

As long as Rachel can quickly adjust herself from this incident, what is waiting for her is still a bright future.

The hot water coated her throat, making Rachel a bit more stable.

After telling everything, Rachel exited the office.

Viola was waiting outside.

“Rachel.”

“Viola!”

Rachel laid into Viola’s arms, crying her heart out.

She was just an eighteen-year-old child.

Faced with this situation, she could only cry as she did not know how to handle it.

“It’s fine now.” Viola patted Rachel’s back, comforting her, “I’m here!”

“Viola, I’m sorry, I regret it so much, I really regret it!”

She deeply regretted not listening to Viola.

If she had put her heart into it even a little, then this would not have happened.

After crying, Rachel calmed her emotions a bit, then said, “Viola, actually, I kept something else from you. Now when I think about it, I really have been so stupid. Remember how you kept asking me if they knew about my savings. I told you they didn’t know, but actually, they knew all along. I was so stupid. I thought they all were being genuine, I didn’t expect…”

“I gave them all my money, I even borrowed fifty thousand from Fiona, I thought that way, I could finally have a warm home.”

Rachel was choking up, nearly hyperventilating.

Viola knew nothing about these things.

If she did, she would definitely have done everything in her power to stop Rachel from going back.

But now, it was too late to say anything.

“Let what’s in the past stay in the past, don’t think about it anymore.” Viola then said: “I’ve got everything.”

Just at that moment.A middle-aged man in a police uniform hurriedly ran towards us, he looked at Rachel Barton with an apologetic expression, “Miss Barton, I rushed over as soon as I received a call from my colleague! Are you alright? I’m really sorry, if I hadn’t reached out to you before, this wouldn’t have happened.”

This was Deva, the police officer who had helped Rachel find her biological parents.

Originally, it was thought to be a joyous family reunion.

However–

What Rachel found were not her parents but two devils.

Rachel’s eyes were still red and swollen. Thinking about the experiences of the past few days, she couldn’t help shaking, “Officer Deva, it’s not your fault. I misjudged people and brought this on myself.”

Deva patted Rachel on the shoulder, “Miss Barton, let the past be. You are an excellent young woman. I heard you got into a very good university. Go back and study hard. I believe your future will be smooth.”

“Thank you, Officer Deva.”

Following Viola Thompson outside, Rachel clung onto her arm, “Viola, when will we go back?”

Rachel would only feel safe when she had left this place.

Even the air here made Rachel feel oppressed!

Uncomfortable!

“As soon as matters are handled, we’ll leave right away.” Viola replied.

Rachel seemed impatient.

She couldn’t wait to leave immediately.

Just then, the door of a car parked on the roadside opened.

A long leg was the first to step out.

Following this long leg upwards, one could see a well-pressed handmade suit, an exquisite chin, thin lips held in a straight line, a high and straight nose, and deep and captivating eyes.

He was enveloped in a cold aura.

Making people dare not approach.

“Viola.”

With one stride of his long legs, he walked straight over.

“Lentz,” Viola introduced, “this is Rachel.”

Terrence Lentz nodded slightly to Rachel.

Rachel instinctively hid behind Viola.

Terrence Lentz’s thin lips parted slightly, “I’ve sent the address to you via WhatsApp. I’ll have Jack stay here to follow up on the matter, we can return to Capital City whenever you’re ready.”

Upon hearing this, Rachel’s eyes lit up.

“Let’s go! Viola, let’s go!”

“Ok.” Viola nodded slightly and led Rachel to the car.

However, Viola did not leave immediately. She turned to Rachel, “Rachel, wait for me in the car. I have something to deal with.”

Rachel instinctively grabbed hold of Viola’s sleeve.

She was scared.

“Don’t worry Rachel, no one here dares to hurt you,” after finishing, Viola added, “and Lisa will protect you too.”

Lisa was the driver in the front seat.

Hearing this, she turned back and smiled, “I have a black belt in taekwondo!”

Rachel was still somewhat nervous.

Viola turned to Lisa, “I’ll leave Rachel in your care.”

“Don’t worry Miss Thompson.”

Viola got off the car.

Terrence Lentz understood her intention, “Viola, this way.”

Viola followed Terrence Lentz’s stride, walking alongside him.

Terrence Lentz’s lips opened slightly, “Rachel’s sister refuses to cooperate with the investigation, hence, the police cannot arrest Sid Winslet.”

Viola furrowed her brows slightly.

The two of them stopped at the entrance of the waiting room.

Terrence Lentz continued, “I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Alright.”

Viola pushed the door open and entered.

Dolores Frieman was sitting in the waiting room.

Upon seeing Viola, Dolores immediately stood up from her chair, “Miss Thompson.”

“Rachel’s sister,” Viola looked at Dolores, “I plan to take Rachel back to Capital City this afternoon. Rachel was admitted to a Normal University in Capital City, where she will be residing for the next ten years.”

“Alright.” Dolores nodded her head. Her sister was finally able to leave the mountainside and Dolores was genuinely happy for her.

“You should come back with us as well.”

Hearing this, Dolores was startled first and then shook her head. The hope in her eyes quickly disappeared without a trace.

She could not go.

She still had children.

Now that she has turned into such a ghostly figure, what more could she ask for?

If she left, what would happen to her two children?

As a mother, she couldn’t be this selfish.

Viola continued, “Rachel’s sister, you don’t need to worry about other things. Right now, you just need to cooperate with the police investigation and then come back to Capital City with us. I rented a place near the Normal University for Rachel, you can live with Rachel. The Normal University lacks a residence warden, you can work there. Also, your two children can come back with us to Capital City, I’ve already arranged their school. As for your younger sister, she is already on the plane.”
