The elevator went up, and the cramped space remained deadly quiet.
It was hard to wait until the second floor, ‘ding’ the elevator door opened, although Farren Austin did not instruct, but Amelia Bright very consciously pushed him out and into the bedroom.
After a not-so-gentle slamming of the door, the bedroom fell silent.
Farren Austin’s wheelchair was parked in front of the mahogany coffee table, and he was concentrating on the newspaper rack, looking at the magazines he was reading, running his long fingers over the various military magazines, not rushing to snap at Amelia Bright.
But this was the hardest part.
After a while, he did not seem to find the right magazine, Amelia Bright on the opposite sofa like a needle, finally could not hold a dry cough.
“Well, are you thirsty? I’ll go downstairs and get you a glass of water.”
Just as she stood up, a low voice came from behind her, slowly and leisurely, with a cold sharpness that could not be denied.
“Stand still–”
Amelia Bright froze in place and subconsciously squeezed her fingers, her index finger and thumb rubbing together to make a taut, subtle sound that made people’s scalps tingle.
“I didn’t see it before, you’re a first-class actor.”
Amelia Bright gritted her teeth and said stiffly.
“Life is forced, since you can’t really be good to me, then I can only make a show, I also have to live in the Austin family, so for you, there is actually no loss, is not it?”
“Forced to live?” Farren Austin’s cold gaze fell on her face, “You seem to be doing more than simply wanting to get by in the Austin family now?”
Amelia Bright had no need to go out and work if she just wanted to have some status in the Austin family again.
Since her release from prison, she has identified antique paintings at the Gellar family’s wedding, befriended Mrs. Song at the auction to introduce the Austin, handled the gun attack with ease, and faced the interlocking designs at the opening reception of the hot spring lodge and still managed to escape.
Even if people will change, but in the prison inside the three years, if no one guidance, intelligence and ability to do things I’m afraid not get any exercise.
Such questioning was expected by Amelia Bright.
Since he didn’t ask too many questions about the things she did downstairs, she was relieved, no matter how to ask other things, it is impossible to ask the end of the question to find out what’s going on.
After weighing her words, she met Farren Austin’s scrutinizing gaze directly.
“I’m not sure if you can really let me be Mrs. Austin for the rest of my life, I have to leave a way back for myself in the future.”
“Didn’t you make a deal with Grandpa a long time ago?”
Farren Austin’s tone was tinged with a few sneers, “three years in jail, in exchange for your future position in the Austin family, even if I want to divorce you, with grandpa backing, what do you have to worry about?”
“This is the old man alive, what if he dies?”
The words just fell, only to see Farren Austin’s face changed slightly, as if she could not believe that the old man’s life and death just hanging on her lips, as if to show a few rare dismayed look.
Amelia Bright knew she had made a slip of the tongue, but couldn’t find the words to make up for it for a while, so she had to keep going.
“The fact that I’m doing a play in front of others and not in front of you, you know that I didn’t go to jail voluntarily three years ago, so it’s impossible to give me any face on account of this, what’s wrong with me giving myself a way out?”
Farren Austin one sentence, she can not top ten sentences back, and a sentence more than a sentence of reasoning.
His face sank at once, and said in a cold voice.
“Since it is not voluntary, then you did not say, not to mention the case there are a lot of doubts, even if it is true that I killed someone by mistake, then I should go to jail, do not need a woman to take the blame.”
Once I heard this, Amelia Bright was furious.
“What you say is easy, if Amelia Bright had refused the old man’s request, she would still be able to live in the Austin family? Besides, if she had the guts to do so, she would still be suffering all these years of wrongful anger? To put it bluntly, both sides are dead, jail at least there is a silver lining.”
“She?” Farren Austin listened in bewilderment and frowned at Amelia Bright.
Why did she mention what she did back then and speak as if she was talking about someone else’s business that had nothing to do with her?
Amelia Bright looked puzzled, her indignation froze in her eyes for a moment, and she said incoherently.
“I, I mean to say that year Amelia Bright, jail as if I was reborn once, you do not like the previous me? I do not like it either, no … can not well?”
Farren Austin looked at her with suspicious eyes.
Amelia Bright strained her neck, trying to force herself to settle down, and explained that
“You don’t know how much I suffered in prison, several times almost even gave up my life, at that time I had a dream that someone possessed me, and guess who?”
Farren Austin interest is lacking.
She said since Chambers.
“My mother gave me a dream, and then I woke up and figured out everything, since I married you, I have to be careful about everything in the future, I leave myself a way back for you is no harm, and I do things carefully now for your sake for the Austin family’s reputation.”
Amelia Bright’s voice is getting lower and lower.
After these words, Farren Austin looked at her with more than a little suspicion, but also with a strange look of madness.
“A dream? Rebirth?” Farren Austin’s tone sounded flat, smiling and looking at her as if she was looking at a fool, and did not say anything else for a long time.
Finally, he seemed to be angry, coldly looked at her and warned, “I don’t care what you want, once I find out that you have done something to endanger the Austin family, the consequences are not for you or even the Bright family to bear.”
“I wouldn’t dare!”
Amelia Bright blinked her eyes, pretending to look innocent.
Knowing that she was putting on a show, but looking into her clear, watery eyes, Farren Austin felt something strange in his heart and couldn’t help but avert his eyes.
The following morning, Hounslow military training ground –
Adjutant Xun reported what he had found out to Farren Austin.
“In the past three years, the lady in the prison is indeed a lot of suffering, because those prisoners in the prison group fights, in three years recorded she has changed her cellmate twelve times, and three times to live in a single cell, but the time to live in a single cell are very short, are quickly out, re-arranged cells.”
“Did you check the background of the gang that fought?”
“Checked,” Adjutant Xun nodded, “you really wronged the old sir, and the old sir guessed similar, is the southern military area side of the relationship sent in.”
The old man guessed well, the southern military district Liu Cun Xie has been haunted by what happened back then, is really attached to the dead lover, so even if Amelia Bright was sentenced to jail for manslaughter, he had to make her whole.
“By the way, one more thing, three months before the lady was released from prison, there was one of the biggest mass beatings in the jail, the lady was found not even breathing when she was sent to the hospital, because of this incident, the death notice was almost given.”
Farren Austin’s brow furrowed.
