“Arrested? For what?” She abruptly stood up from the couch.
“The police who calledsaid that she was sued for slander, assault and attempted murder.”
“Attempted murder Stephanie raised her voice at the absurd accusation.
“That’s ridiculous!” Glenda was too much of a coward to do something like that.
“That’s what I think too. But I don’t know what happened yet. Get a lawyer and go see your mom in prison. Ask her what happened. I’11 take a flight right away.”

I’ll call you after I talk to Mom.”
“Okay,” he said in a low voice.
At the police station, Glenda told Stephanie that it was Debbie who had sued her.
Glenda had planned to go back to New York, but the police had arrested her at the airport lounge. It was humiliating; so many people had witnessed the arrest.

Glenda grabbed Stephanie’s arms tightly and said with tears in her eyes, “No wonder James wants her dead. She is a vicious bitch. All I did was call her names, but she hired that famous lawyer, Xavier, to chargewith attempted murder! I didn’t do anything! Stephanie, bailout! I don’t want to stay in this hell-hole another minute!”
Stephanie stared at her mother awkwardly.
“I brought along a lawyer hoping to bail you out, but the police wouldn’t allow it. I think
Debbie is behind this. She must have bribed the police to hold you here.”
It was just like when Debbie had been accused of murder and had been detained in the police station. Back then, James had bribed the police to refuse her bail. In the end, it had taken Carlos to bail her out.
Glenda panicked.

Stephanie thought about it for a moment and said, “Mom, don’t worry
I’ll think of a way to get you out of here.”
“Good, good. Stephanie, I’m counting on you. You’re my sweet Little girl. Oh! Inform your uncle James of this. Perhaps he can help.”
“Okay.” Stephanie called James after she left the police station.
When the evil fox learned that Debbie had put Glenda in prison, he was so shocked and furious that he almost passed out.
“Steph, don’t worry.
I’LL get your mom out of jail.”
Stephanie was relieved.
