Chapter 176: Annoyances
Brianna couldn’t understand why, despite the bribes Hannah had given to the prison guards, they still placed her with a group of vicious women. Over the past six months, she had been forced to wash their clothes, serve them like a slave, and endured regular beatings.
If it hadn’t been for the thought of her children on the outside, Brianna might have lost her sanity long ago.
And all of this suffering was thanks to Robert and that wretched mistress!
"Mom, let’s go home... and start over," Hannah said, wiping the tears from her eyes. She had already prepared herself for the worst, knowing that her mother hadn’t had an easy time in prison. Every visit, Brianna’s mental state had seemed more and more fragile.
Brianna, still sobbing, got into Hannah’s car. The ride was silent, and when they arrived at their luxurious home, the emptiness of the grand villa hit Brianna hard. She broke down in tears, covering her mouth as she wept.
How things had changed! There was a time when Robert treated her like a treasure, never speaking a harsh word to her.
There was a time when their family was harmonious and happy, living each day in bliss.
But now, Brianna found herself ruined, having lost everything, from her status to her freedom, all because of the betrayal and deceit surrounding her.
And in her mind, the root of all this evil was Ella.
"Mom, you’ve suffered so much... It’s my fault. I couldn’t protect you," Hannah said, tears falling as she looked at her emaciated mother.
Brianna, her voice hoarse, struggled to breathe as she spoke. "Hannah, none of this is your fault... It’s that Ella! That little wretch must have orchestrated it all, making sure I was stuck with those filthy women in prison!"
