Chapter 1010 I Would Be Crying
Joseph simply smiled. “Maybe she didn't see you.”
The truth was, human relationships were superficial. Now that James was in trouble, his acquaintances feared they
would face the same fate if they got too close to the Field family.
The world was a cruel place, and Joseph had foreseen something like this to happen.
“Don't think too much about it, Mom. Let's go shopping,” Charlotte comforted Fae.
Thankfully, Charlotte's words sent a warm feeling into Fae's heart. “You're such a thoughtful sweetheart.”
With that, the trio arrived at the mall. The first floor sold phones and jewelry.
“Mom, let's get you an iPhone twelve. It was just released,” suggested Joseph as he approached the store. “What
about a red one? Apparently, it brings good luck.”
“Tsk. I'm already way past that age for such a striking color. That's for young ladies.” Fae chuckled and hit him

Charlotte, too, glared at him, saying, “Obviously white and black suit her better.”
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice rang out from a distance. “Oh! I was wondering who this was over here. Turns out it's
the renowned
Mrs. Field.”
The voice attracted their attention. Frowning, Fae glanced over and spotted Kate, who was dressed to the nines.
The latter held a limited-edition bag as she walked over with her high heels clicking against the ground. After
scanning Fae from head to toe, Kate sneered, “This is interesting. I can't believe you still have the mood to shop for
a new phone here.”
“Why wouldn't I have the mood to shop for a phone? Mrs. Fraser, I don't think there's much for us to talk about, so
please don't disturb my shopping session.” Fae cast Kate an icy glance before retracting her gaze.
The look of gloat on Kate's face made Joseph's heart lurch with dread. He quickly took his mother's hand and said,
“Come on, Mom. Let's check out another store.”
“Yep. Let's go.” Charlotte, too, took Fae's hand. The former felt uncomfortable seeing Kate there.
“Why are you leaving? Hah. Looks like you just fend for yourself when your partner's in trouble.” Kate stepped
forward to block their path.
She was feeling extremely triumphant as if she had gotten her revenge. Even the excitement and disdain in her
gaze were palpable to everyone in the mall.
“What do you want?” Fae knew Kate was implying something, and it made the former feel uncomfortable.
Kate's smile only grew smugger. “Nothing. I just pity Mr. Field. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
“Why would you bring James up all of a sudden? What makes you think you can talk about him so casually?” Fae
glared at the woman impatiently.
However, Kate gaped dramatically, which was disgusting behavior.
She then purposely raised her voice to another pitch as she said, “Everyone knows Mr. Field has been arrested for

The look on Fae's face stiffened as she stood there in a daze.
The revelation left her feeling as if she had been struck by lightning.
Fae's body shook, and her eyes widened with disbelief as she stared at Kate's annoying face. “What did you say?”
Even her voice was trembling.
Kate eyed Fae with shock. “Oh my goodness! Don't tell me you have no idea.”
The former's smile widened and excitement bubbled within her as if James were sentenced to a horrifying
punishment.
In fact, she almost broke out into a dance. Her tone was laced with satisfaction when she said, “Mr. Field's been
arrested. The police chief personally arrested Mr. Field this morning. Goodness. I don't understand how you three
can still go on a shopping spree when he's been arrested. How ungrateful...”
Fae's mind went blank as she watched Kate explain everything with dramatic gestures. There was only one thought
running through the former's mind. James has been arrested. He's been arrested...
