Chapter 66

Cynthia has been a shadow of herself since she was brought to jail.

 

Her inmates had made her life a living hell since they discovered that she was the wife of a billionaire and that she was brought to jail because she murdered the mother of her stepson.

 

In the beginning, they were a little kind towards her because Daniel always supplied her with food and provisions every week, and she always shared them with them. But since Daniel stopped supplying her with food and provisions, her inmates changed their attitude towards her immediately.

 

They became cruel and violent with her; they would beat her up at the slightest provocation, not minding her old age, and sometimes they would make her sleep on the cold, bare floor.

 

It was a Tuesday morning, and just as promised, Jerry went to the detention center where Cynthia was to pay her a surprise visit.
