"Great." Tommy smiled brightly. Although Lanie and Rainie did not say anything, the
smiles on their faces were bright too.
It was obvious that they wanted to go home too.
It was not that the children did not like Old Master Crawford, but they missed their parents
after staying there for so long.
Especially their mother, Rainie could not keep her mother out of mind. She loved her
mother very much, and she hoped that the matter could be resolved so their family could
be reunited soon.
Luca smiled at her as she sensed her gaze.
Before she could say anything, the maid brought over the tea set and asked, "Sir, would
you like to have tea in the living room or the garden?"
Without a second thought, Jack said, "I'll have it here. I still need to call the gardener to
tidy up the garden."
Queenie was taken aback when she heard that. She then said, "You don't need to call the
gardener. I can take care of it."
"Don't bother with it. Luca said that your body shouldn't be overworked, so just stay at
home. When the gardener is finished with the garden, you can just admire the flowers."
Jack did not allow Queenie to do anything.
Luca never said such a thing, but after hearing Jack's words, she nodded and said, "Yes,
Mrs. Norman. Let the gardener do it. The roses haven't been cared for in some time, so
they seem to have wilted. It's best to let the professional take care of them, so you can
just rest."
"Mom, just listen to Dad. I'll have the Crawford family's gardener come over tomorrow,"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsaid Luke.
Queenie could not dissuade the three of them, so she just sat on the couch and made tea
for them.
"Would it be a hassle?" She was referring to having the gardener come over.
"No." That was all Luke said.
Queenie had no choice but to obey their wishes. The reason why the garden was in its
current condition was because she did not have the energy to take care of it.
Leia's matter had consumed all of her energy, and she was no longer interested in doing
anything else.
On the other hand, after the check-up, Leia turned out fine. Thus, the police sent her back
to the detention center from the hospital.
The police were worried that she might do something to hurt herself, so she was not
detained alone this time. Instead, she was put with other people in a bigger cell.
When Leia was brought in, she noticed that she was put in a big cell, so she glared at the
policeman and said, "I'm Jack Norman's daughter. How could you lock me here?"
The policeman frowned and pushed her in. "I don't care who your father is. If you
committed a crime, you stay here."
"I want to have my own cell!" Leia saw a few female suspects being detained even before
she went in.
They all looked fierce with fat and bulky builds. They looked like they could crush her to
death just by lying on top of her.
She heard that people often get bullied in detention centers, and she thought that if she
was locked up in this place, she would surely get bullied by these women.
Leia was afraid.
"Well, you shouldn't have lied, then. Get in." The officer pushed her again. "With these
people watching you, I don't have to worry. If my colleagues weren't paying attention last
time, we would've been stripped of our uniforms if anything had happened. Now, you can
just stay here. You can't run away from the law anyway."
Leia was pushed in, and the policeman locked the door behind her.
She looked at the several big-sized women, while they looked her up and down as well.
In the outside world, she was not afraid of women like them. In fact, she would even dare
to yell at them because she was Jack's daughter.
Even if Jack did not like her very much, as long as they were registered under the same
household, she could scare others with her identity.
Here, the name 'Jack Norman' was not as useful.
Leia realized that Jack could not make things easier for her, nor could he make these
women obey her.
Moreover, even the name of a mere policeman may work even better here than Jack's
name.
After the police left, the leader walked over slowly and asked, "New one, what's your
name?"
"Leia." Leia was a little timid. She regretted not taking Taekwondo seriously when Jack
sent her to classes.
Jack thought that she could protect herself by learning Taekwondo.
However, Leia thought that it would affect her figure. Plus, who would dare bully her with
Jack backing her up?
It was too late now. She did not even know how to throw a punch.
"Leia?" The leader turned her head and talked to the woman on the bed, "Big Sis, she said
that her name is Leia."
"I heard that. I'm not deaf." Big Sis crossed her elephant-sized thighs and shook them. She
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlooked at Leia's face with a smile. "What a familiar name."
"I think so too. Oh, wasn't there once a famous celebrity called Leia Norman?" The woman
clapped her hands together and scanned Leia. Before she could continue, Big Sis sneered.
"It's her. Didn't she say that her father is Jack Norman?" she said, sitting down lazily while
cracking her knuckles.
“Does that mean you have something against her?" the woman said before Leia could
even react.
"That's right. I didn't expect Jack Norman to send his precious daughter in here. What a
cruel man. How could he send his daughter in here for me to take revenge on? Hahaha. I
must make the most out of his kind gesture, right?" Big Sis walked up to Leia. She was one
head taller than her, and her tall and muscular figure made Leia tremble in fear.
"I-I'm not!" Leia did not have time to ask what she had against Jack before subconsciously
denying her identity.
"Don't lie, we all heard that your father is Jack Norman. Unfortunately, being Jack's
daughter doesn't come with privileges here. I heard you were very pretty, but what
happened to you? Tsk tsk, you look like a sick ghost. How hideous." The woman standing
next to Big Sis was judging Leia's appearance.
Her words made the other women laugh. One of them even said maliciously, "I heard that
celebrities like getting plastic surgery. Perhaps she looks like a ghost because her surgery
failed. Big Sis, remember to avoid her face when you lay a finger on her. Her face might
get crooked if you punch her."
"Right, and her breasts. I've read the news before. They said that she used her body to
seduce directors. Maybe her breasts are fake too. Big Sis, you have strong fists. If you
break the implants, she might go crying to the policemen. When she goes to the hospital,
you won't be able to take revenge," said the other woman.
Big Sis had spiteful eyes that made Leia tremble.
"Whatever grudge you have with Jack has nothing to do with me. If you want revenge, go
to him!" Leia trembled as she leaned against the stainless steel door.
