Natalie heaved a sigh of relief. “I see. Perhaps it's the best option. What Stanley did in the past surpassed his
kindness and our friendship. Hence, we'd better not meet each other from now on.”
Shane looked up and replied, “Anyway, you've said that he's abroad at the moment. I'll tell him about it when he
returns. If he refuses to leave, I'll send him overseas anyway. I won't do anything if he leaves willingly.”
She murmured a response. “Sure.”
Time flew by, and two days had passed in the blink of an eye.
The police said that Jacqueline's testimony was legally valid, thus proving she was the one who harmed Natalie
twice.
Alice had cleared her name and could be released.
However, she had violated the law when she willingly took responsibility for Jacqueline's crime. Considering that

After all, staying in prison for six months was already a punishment.
Moreover, the police believed Alice wouldn't do silly things anymore.
Lucinda and Natalie stood outside the prison while gazing at the entrance.
Shane didn't come with them since he had to go to the Graham residence.
While Alice was released, they would take Jacqueline into custody.
While staring at the entrance, Lucinda clasped her hands emotionally.
If she weren't sitting in the wheelchair, Natalie thought she would pace up and down impatiently by now.
“Mrs. Brown, please be patient. Alice will come out soon,” she comforted Lucinda when she noticed the latter
couldn't put her mind at ease.
Given that Lucinda wasn't as healthy as before, Natalie was worried that she would pass out due to excitement.
Lucinda forced a smile after Natalie finished. “Mrs. Brown, I understand what you mean. However, how can I ever
calm myself down? After all, my only hope is that Alice can be released, and it is about to come true—”
Before she could finish, Natalie interrupted, “I know. Fine, forget what I've said.”
Since she has always hoped to reunite with her daughter, how can she calm down? I would behave the same if I
were her.
After the thought flashed through her mind, Natalie stopped advising Lucinda.
After a while, the gate of the prison finally opened.
Lucinda couldn't suppress her excitement and moved the wheelchair toward the entrance by herself, for she
wished to see her daughter.
Meanwhile, Natalie stood still and leaned against the car.
After a while, a pale-looking and petite lady with short blonde hair came out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough she looked pitiful, her eyes were sparkling as if she looked forward to the new future when she looked up
at the sky.
Raising her eyebrows, Natalie praised Alice deep in her heart.
The latter didn't seem to feel dejected after going into prison. Instead, she was motivated and looked forward to
her new life.
Awesome! In that case, I'm sure Alice won't be a burden to the Brown family.
“Alice.” Lucinda gazed at her daughter and smiled emotionally as tears of delight streamed down her face.
Stunned to hear her mother's voice, Alice lowered her head and looked at Lucinda in the wheelchair. As her eyes
turned bloodshot, she said chokingly, “Mom!”
“Alice!”
In the end, Alice couldn't suppress her emotions. She ran toward Lucinda while weeping. Then she hugged her
mother tightly and kept saying sorry.
Alice knew she had made the mistake of taking the blame for someone else's crime. All the more so, she shouldn't
have believed someone whom she had never seen.
