Chapter 110: The Outrageous Bias

However, she might be powerless now, but it didn’t mean the tables wouldn’t turn in the future. With a calm gaze, Raylee stared at Mindy. She then took out her phone and, right in front of Mindy, called the police.

“Mindy, your comeuppance is here. If the Goodridge family won’t help you, then no one else can save you. Next, I’m going to get a lawyer and sue you. I will fight you to the bitter end. You had better be prepared to rot in jail. I’ll make sure you experience the agony I’ve endured!”

“Don’t arrest me, please! Wavy, tell her not to call the police. I don’t want to go to jail. I’m still young. Going to jail would ruin my life!”

In a state of panic, Mindy clutched Waverly’s hand, pleading desperately. Right then, Waverly found herself deeply torn. It was obvious to her that Raylee was trying to drive a wedge in her relationship with Mindy.

“No, I just can’t stand by and watch Mindy be sent to prison. If Mindy is instigated into saying something she shouldn’t have, I would be done for?”

Reflecting on the time before she returned to the Goodridge family, Waverly didn’t forget that Mindy was well aware of the scandalous secrets in her past. If they were to be exposed… Waverly felt a chill run down her spine. I must definitely protect Mindy!

The next moment, she lunged forward, snatching Raylee’s phone from her hands and promptly ended the call. She pleaded, “Raylee, if you insist on calling the cops on Mindy, then arrest me as well. I’ll repay the four years I owe you!”

“Why do you owe me four years? Did you really steal the necklace?” Raylee asked with great interest. Waverly was at a loss, unsure of how to respond.

Harriet immediately jumped to her defense, saying, “Ray—Ray, just because you ended up in jail under a false accusation, you can’t just drag Wavy into this mess. She didn’t steal the necklace!” Her protective stance was identical to Alaric’s.

“Wavy,” Alaric advised, pulling her toward him, “your friend is no good. You should use this opportunity to cut ties with her. If not, it’s just a matter of time before she harms you.”

“No, I can’t. Shanice despises me now, so Mindy is my only friend left. I can’t afford to lose her,” Waverly said, shaking her head in tears.

Alaric comforted her, “Making new friends is easy. Just ask your mom to introduce you to some. As the prominent young lady of the Goodridge family, there are plenty of people eager to befriend you.”

Waverly couldn’t stop shaking her head, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded with Samuel. “Samuel, please, you have to help Mindy. I can’t just stand by and watch her go to prison.”

Samuel frowned, saying, “Wavy, why are you so stubborn, insisting on saving this so-called best friend of yours? Just listen to Dad. He will take care of this matter for you.”

Waverly was at her wit’s end, as no one was willing to help Mindy. Left with no choice, she grabbed the utility knife that Raylee had placed on the table. She held it against her own throat, threatening, “If you don’t save Mindy, then I’ll show you what it’s like to lose me!”

Chapter 110: The Outrageous Bias (Finished)

How could someone as selfish and manipulative as she is risk her life to save a friend? The real her is the person leaving Shanice to die at the… Something is definitely amiss.

Realizing there was more to the matter than met the eye, Raylee calmly stated, “Your affection for your best friend is truly touching. It’s enough to bring tears to one’s eyes. Since you care so much about your dear friend, why not join her in prison! Only then can you fulfill your dream of sticking together through thick and thin.”

“What kind of nonsense are you spouting? Dream on if you think I’d let Wavy go to jail,” Samuel rebuked Raylee, before continuing to reason with Waverly.

“Wavy, never let yourself get hurt over someone who claims to be a friend of yours! Your life is worth so much more than hers. Our whole family loves you dearly. How could you bear to cause us such distress?”

The sobbing Harriet added, “That’s right, Wavy, my precious daughter. I have finally been reunited with you. If anything were to happen to you, I couldn’t bear to live on!”

Waverly was crying so hard that she could hardly catch her breath. “Mindy is very important to me. Samuel, Mom, Dad, do you understand? She even saved my life once! When we were poor, I had to go up the mountain to chop wood. Once, I was followed and bullied by a vagabond, and I nearly lost my life. It was Mindy who happened to pass by and saved me. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t even have the chance to return home and be reunited with you all,” she sobbed.

Meanwhile, Mindy was somewhat perplexed. When have I ever saved Waverly?! What’s this talk about being stalked and harassed by a vagrant? I have absolutely no recollection of such…
