Chapter 1161
That way, Alicia could live a simple and easygoing life.
However, when she met Amelia, she discovered the latter was doing better than her. She changed her mind and ended up like that.
She wouldn’t have even thought about this before.
Even though she finally climbed out of prison, she fell into another again.
“I’m not here to listen to you. I just want to know where Riley is now,” Amelia said.
“You care about Riley, huh?” Alicia said sarcastically, “You know, back then, I helped you in prison, too, just like Riley. How could you treat me like this? I can’t believe I had to send Ryan to meet with you and mention Riley’s name before you’re willing to visit me.”
“Yes, you have helped me before. I am also very grateful in my heart. However, you don’t want my gratitude. You want too much and even hurt me. Alicia, how can you be the same as Riley?” Amelia said mercilessly.
“I just want to get what I deserve first!” Alicia said fiercely, “I helped you in prison. You should repay me well now that you have become the wife of a powerful man. I wouldn’t have gone this far if you hadn’t refused me several times! Amelia, you forced me to do this!”
“You’re the one who forced yourself. People who are too greedy won’t get anything!”
“Ha, you sound so righteous. In this world, everyone is greedy. It’s just that some people can’t get what they want!” Alicia said,
Amelia said, “I only want to ask you where Riley is now.”
“Haha, you want to know where Riley is? Fine, let me out. Once I’m released from prison, I’ll certainly share Riley’s location with you!” Alicia declared.
It was not surprising that Amelia would make such a request. After all, she had already thought of it on the way there.
“Your case is already a criminal one, so that’s not something I can do. However, I can issue a memorandum of understanding or find a good lawyer, which will naturally reduce your sentence by several years.” That was Amelia’s most significant concession.
However, Alicia was clearly displeased. “What? A few years off my sentence? Are you joking, Amelia? You better find a way to get me acquitted. Otherwise, don’t expect me to disclose Riley’s current location!”
Amelia stared at Alicia coldly, stood up, and turned to leave.
Alicia suddenly said, “What if I tell you Riley’s in a terrible situation right now? Will you still not care? Amelia, it seems that you are cold-blooded. You became a rich and powerful woman, but now you don’t care how miserable the people who have helped you will be!”
“What did you say?” Amelia paused and turned to look at Alicia again.
“Riley is miserable now. In other people’s eyes, she is crazy. Not only that, others abuse her, but she can’t resist at all. She is like living in hell now. After all, not everyone has the luck of marrying Warren after leaving prison!”
Amelia’s pupils suddenly contracted. She couldn’t believe what she heard.
Riley was capable, seeing that she hid Amelia’s whereabouts in the past. Thus, Amelia had a hard time believing Riley was doing miserably.
“You’re lying!” Amelia shouted.
“Haha, why should I lie to you? I’m telling the truth. You can let the law convict me if you don’t care about her! However, if you want to know where she is, ensure I’m released from prison!” Alicia left no room for negotiation.
Amelia then left, but Alicia looked overly-confident.
It seemed that Alicia was sure that Amelia would find a way to get her out of prison.
“Amelia, don’t let me down!” Alicia murmured.
Amelia never thought Riley would become crazy and be abused as Alicia
In Amelia’s impression, Riley was a self-reliant and capable woman. Riley had never mentioned why she went to prison. However, Riley always took good care of Amelia in prison.
Even when Aiden was born, and almost had a difficult labor, it was Riley who managed to find a doctor and ensured everything went smoothly.
When Riley was released from prison, she also left Amelia a contact number. “I only give you this contact number. Please don’t give it to others. If you have any difficulties, don’t hesitate to contact me. I will help you if I can.”
“Why?” Amelia was confused. After all, no matter how much Riley helped her, she couldn’t give anything back.
“Probably because you look like someone needing help, and I’m
softhearted.” At that time, Riley smiled, “I may need some time to seek justice after leaving. However, I believe I can get back what I deserve.”
One year after Riley was released, Amelia also got out of prison. At that time, she contacted Riley.
Riley was wearing bright clothes, and her beautiful face was full of vigor.
At that time, Riley told Amelia that she had a good life.
When Amelia asked Riley if the latter had gotten her revenge, Riley smiled. “Almost. Amelia, if I get married in the future, I’ll invite you to my wedding!”
“Okay, it’s a deal!” Amelia said.
Later on, Riley didn’t contact Amelia for an extended period. When Amelia dialed the number Riley had given her, she received a message stating that the number had been disconnected.
After that, her contact with Riley was cut off.
Over the years, Amelia had been inquiring about Riley’s whereabouts, but there were still no clues.
Finally, she had a lead, but Alicia was the one holding it.
If Alicia were bluffing, it would be fine. However, Amelia was afraid that Alicia was telling the truth. If Riley were suffering, Amelia would feel guilty for not returning a helping hand.
The next day, Amelia went to Rosalie. “Rosie, I want to ask you something. Is it possible for Alicia to be released?”
“Impossible!” Rosalie replied, “That is unless everyone changed their statements. Otherwise, Alicia will be convicted because of the solid evidence.”
Hearing that, Amelia pursed her red lips and frowned. “In that case, If a lawyer is hired to defend her, what’s the most her lawyer can do for her?”
