Chapter 228

  Annette sneered, "Is that how you came to apologize? Do you really think I'll forgive you if you apologize? Well, let me tell you what, there is a price to pay."

  Connor pushed Austin and said, "Take your mother away before I change my mind. Or do you want Jessica to take the blame for your reckless behavior?"

  Austin knew what was the right thing to do at the moment.

  He turned around and dragged Leslie out of the room.

  Back in the car, Leslie was unwilling to give up. She called Lance, crying.

  Just as Annette was calming herself down in the ward, Lance called.

  This time, Annette picked up the phone.

  Lance's angry voice came from the other end of the line. "Annette, what else do you want? You won't stop till I use your mother's reputation to blackmail you. Only then will you let Jessica off, right?"

  "Are you threatening me?"

  "You bet. This is a threat. Ask Connor to release Jessica right now. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
