Chapter 977
Chapter 977
Mrs. Mcguire was stunned, her voice almost breaking, "What did you say? Your sister-in-law has been released without guilt?"
"Surprised, aren't you?" Katie's eyes narrowed slightly, dripping with sarcasm. "When it comes to my sister-in-law, the Howlett family cares more than ours. After all, she has a caring little brother, right?" "And her good little brother is on good terms with Franklin and Sylvia, right?"
Katie chuckled, "I must have been blind before, thinking poorly of Sylvia and my sister-in-law. I was ridiculous."
"Katie, no, you're the best..." Mrs. Mcguire forgot the argument with her daughter just now, quickly comforting Katie. "Don't belittle yourself, you're great at dancing, singing, you're a star in the circle. You're beautiful, you're already starting to act, you'll surely win awards in the future."
"Compared to Poppy, what am I?" Katie chuckled softly. "I don't want to be a star anymore."
"Weren't you dreaming of being a star since you were a child? Why suddenly change your mind?" Mrs. Mcguire was shocked. "Don't scare mommy."
"I want to teach in the mountains, I want to go to Cool Mountain." Katie looked out at the dark sky, even though the rain had stopped, the sky remained gloomy.
Mrs. Mcguire's voice almost broke, "Go to the mountains? The conditions there are so harsh, Katie, are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? You're a good girl from a wealthy family, you don't want to be a star now you want to endure hardships?"
"I want to be a useful person to society. I've been to university, teaching children shouldn't be a problem." Katie glanced at her injured foot. "When my foot heals, I'll go."
Tears welled up in Mrs. Mcguire's eyes, "What's wrong with you? You..."
But Katie ignored her, instead, she picked up her phone and started messaging her agent about her plans to teach.
The agent called immediately, sensing her excitement, "Katie, what's wrong? You just sprained your foot, when it heals, you can go back on stage, continue with shows, or acting, anything!"
"No, I don't want to." Katie's gaze was indifferent. "I just want to teach, I suddenly feel being a star is not that interesting. Anyway, all my appointments are canceled because of my injury, postponed. I'm practically free now, right?"
The agent was a bit dizzy. Although Katie wasn't famous, she had some fame, and being backed by the Mcguire Group, they usually gave the group some face when it came to resources.
So...
Now, the lady of the Mcguire family suddenly wants to leave the entertainment industry?
She was shocked!
After calming down a bit, she tried to persuade Katie, "How about this? You go teach first, and I'll release a statement about your injured foot. When you want to come back, we can still get you appointments." "I don't care how you release it." Katie shrugged.
After hanging up, she turned to see Mrs. Mcguire's teary eyes, "Katie, you're really not yourself today..."
"Everyone grows up, I'm just growing up. I don't want to be like before, depending on the Mcguire Group for everything. I want to live according to my own ideas."
Katie's mind drifted to the images she had seen in the news.
All those things had happened around her, in this city.
Especially the collapsed houses, the trees submerged in water... all reminding her of one thing, she couldn't continue to live aimlessly as before. She wanted to live like a human being. Outside the police station.
It had been flooded long ago, and when the flood came yesterday, the prisoners in the temporary cells were all transferred to the second floor.
Carolyn was carried out by Jasper. There were only a few guards left in the police station, almost everyone else had gone out to participate in rescue operations.
In just two or three days, she looked noticeably haggard.
"Jasper, put me down, I can walk by myself."
"It's flooded everywhere, how can you walk? Isn't it my duty as your brother?" Jasper carried her and slowly moved forward. There was a kayak outside the police station.
He was tall and had long legs, and he walked all the way to the kayak before putting Carolyn down. "Don't worry, I'll soon find out who framed you."
Carolyn sat in the kayak, a young man handed her a bottle of water and some food. Carolyn hadn't been eating well or sleeping well these past few days.
Now she could finally come out, but unexpectedly encountered another flood.
The sky was dark, the dark clouds pressing down as if they could crush people at any moment.
She was worried. "The trial is on Friday, by then..."
"Sis, don't worry. The rain has stopped now, the situation will definitely improve by Friday, and
then we can leave the country" et
Jaspergave her a reassuring smile. "Let me take you to the hotel first,
you can rest there."
This was why Sylvia and Franklin hadn't returned home, because they wanted to finish everything they could before leaving.
Carolyn nodded and started eating. There was a hint of fierceness in her eyes as she thought about who framed her. She could pretty much guess.
She wouldn't sit idly by. If they thought she was just a little rabbit, they were wrong.
Thinking of this, she took out her phone, opened Facebook, posted a few things, then put her phone away.
Normally, they could reach the hotel quickly, but because of the flooding, they had to paddle back to the hotel, rescuing two more flood victims along the way.
So they wasted a lot of time, and when they finally arrived at the hotel, it was an hour later.
Carolyn had just gotten off the kayak, ready to step into the water, when Jasper jumped down first and carried her on his back.
She felt a bit embarrassed. "I can walk by myself."
Jasper smiled, "Carolyn, when you got married, wasn't it me who carried you out? Now that I have the chance, let me carry you again." Carolyn felt a sudden touch of emotion for no reason. She had married early, and when she did, Jasper hadn't come back.
It was her regret, and Jasper's.
The lobby of the hotel was also flooded, but not too much, up to the calves.
Kareem, dressed in casual clothes,
was standing at the staircase. When
he saw Carolyn and Jasper coming in, he hurried over, excitedly saying, "Carolyn, you're back, hurry up and get rid of the mold."
He had a willow twig in his hand, sweeping it over Carolyn a few times.
Carolyn smiled faintly, "Kareem, thank you."
Her attitude was distant, and Kareem's eyes flickered, still enthusiastic. "Carolyn, you've been away these days, don't worry, I've got everything at the company!"
"That's really kind of you." Carolyn stepped onto the stairs, waving to Jasper, who nodded and left.
But in the moment he turned around, his gaze fell on Kareem, a man so thin that he seemed like a gust of wind could blow him away.
Jasper's lips curled, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. Kareem, so thin, yet with such a greedy heart.
Carolyn's exoneration was announced by the "Peaceful Larro" Twitter account.
"After investigation, evidence proves
that Ms. Carolyn is innocent, she did
vel.net
not hire someone to kill Ms. Katie. Ms. Carolyn is now cleared of suspicion. The real culprit is someone else. Stay tuned for updates."
Just two sentences, but enough to prove everything.
Carolyn was innocent. She didn't harm Katie.
The most embarrassed was Mrs. Mcguire, and Mr. Mcguire scolded her harshly.
"I told you, Carolyn is innocent, but you had to go after her, thinking it was her fault. Now, the police have said, she didn't harm Katie."
Mrs. Mcguire's face was tight. "Just because she wasn't guilty this time, doesn't mean she wasn't guilty before."
"You're just unreasonable."NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Mr. Mcguire was so angry he wanted to slap her.
Carolyn's release, mixed in with the news of the disaster, didn't attract much attention.
After all, it was almost the whole country fighting the disaster.
Although the Mcguire Group had donated, Carolyn donated five million in her own name.
