Chapter: 4832

Everyone stood up in line, and Mara finally had a chance to stop.

However, because she had been squatting for too long, she couldn't even stand up now.

The iron cell door opened, and a female prison guard stepped in to count the people. Seeing Mara still squatting on the ground, she immediately approached her, scolding: "1024, line up right away! If you're not in line within three seconds, you won't get dinner tonight!"

Mara could only muster all her strength, crying and gritting her teeth as she struggled to stand up and took a difficult step forward into the lineup.

Subsequently, everyone in the prison followed the guard's lead and went to the dining hall for dinner.

Mara was so sore and numb that she had to lag far behind alone. Every step she took was incredibly arduous, but she could only keep pushing on.

At this moment, that female prison guard also deliberately slowed down her pace and came up to Mara, speaking in a low tone: "1024, do you have a lot of money at home?"

Mara was taken aback, hesitating for a moment before speaking.

The female prison guard smiled and said, "Your lawyer has deposited $10,000 in your prison account, and you can use your ID card to make purchases at the store."

As she spoke, the guard lowered her voice and said, "Oh, by the way, my name is Jessica Brownston. If your family wants to buy cigarettes, remember to contact me. It's one thousand dollars per pack, American style."

"What?!" Mara asked unconsciously, "Didn't Chloe say it was $400 per pack?"

Jessica Brownston smiled and said in a calm tone, "That's yesterday's price. Today's price is one thousand. If you want to buy some, have your family call me, or my sister will contact them. Otherwise, that Chloe might do something to you tonight, and I can't guarantee it!"

Mara knew this place was full of snakes and mice, and right now wasn't the time to lecture with this American prison guard. So she asked her quickly, "Can I make a phone call home now?"

"It's okay." Jessica Brownston said calmly, "You can use your ID card to make a phone call after dinner."

As she spoke, she quietly slipped a piece of paper into Mara's hand and whispered, "This is my sister's phone number. If you want to buy cigarettes, contact her."

As soon as she heard she could call home, Mara was overjoyed and couldn't contain her excitement.

She longed to immediately call her sister, Ye Chen, crying tears and begging Ye Chen to do everything possible to rescue her from here.

However, in order to make a phone call back home, she had to wait until after dinner when everyone returned to the courtyard. So Mara could only follow the group to the dining hall.

In the dining hall, Mara was unable to use both hands due to her numbness and could only hold her plate by force, taking it to an empty corner.

After sitting down, Chloe suddenly appeared from nowhere, carrying a tray and sitting across from Mara.

Her accomplices, who had just enjoyed Mara's foot massage services, also surrounded Mara, trapping her.

Mara was startled and quickly asked Chloe, "What's the matter?"

Chloe looked at Mara with a smile, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "I heard from Jessica that your family is very wealthy, right? You got a $10,000 deposit all at once?"

Mara could only nod silently, saying, "My... my son-in-law is quite filial... he... he must be afraid I'll suffer some injustice here, so... so the lawyer... kept some extra money..."

Kloe smiled and said, "Since you're so wealthy at home, I might need to adjust my conditions a bit today." JrNovels.com
