Chapter 339: Shirley Moss
Chapter 339: Shirley Moss
Back in her teenage years, Thea Shaw had also been obsessed with countless melodramatic love stories.
When Julian Sinclair mentioned this current one, Thea immediately sensed something familiar.
But that wasn’t the main point now; the main point was, wrongful imprisonment, that’s illegal!
Ryan Sinclair’s face turned extremely pale.
The secret he had been hiding was carelessly revealed by Julian Sinclair, causing Ryan to instinctively look at Miss Moss and say, "Let me explain..."
Miss Moss seemed unable to believe what she was hearing. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, her voice trembling: "You knew all along I was innocent, you knew I was innocent!!"
"I only found out later!"
Ryan Sinclair said irritably, "I was planning to find a chance to explain to you..."
"Explain?"
Miss Moss looked at him in shock: "After I got out of prison, when I was at my most desperate, you condescendingly let me be your secretary, claiming I needed to atone for past deeds. Yet you already knew I was innocent, you knew I was innocent, and you still treated me like this! Ryan Sinclair, are you even human?"
Her voice gradually turned sharper: "Are you even human? My father committed suicide by jumping off a building because of this, my mother succumbed to depression and passed away, and now I find out that you knew I was innocent!!"
Thea Shaw: "..."
This familiar deep-seated blood feud...
Florence Locke had initially thought that Ryan Sinclair was merely bullying Miss Moss, never imagining it would be this serious.
Florence Locke certainly wasn’t raised on modern television dramas, and hearing this made her absolutely furious: "This beast, you’re not going to stab him twice?"
Ryan Sinclair was a bit anxious: "I just couldn’t find the right opportunity to tell you..."
In the next moment, Miss Moss seemed to have an epiphany; her eyes darted around, as if searching for something.
Thea Shaw thought she was looking for a weapon.
Though she very much wanted to help, unfortunately, there wasn’t anything suitable in the hospital room.
Suddenly, Miss Moss’s gaze fell upon a small computer-like device that was monitoring Ryan Sinclair’s vitals, and without thinking, she picked it up and hurled it at Ryan Sinclair’s head.
Thea Shaw and Florence Locke could’ve stopped her.
But they didn’t.
Unfortunately, the scene they imagined—Ryan Sinclair being beaten until he’s bleeding—did not occur.
Julian Sinclair intervened and pushed Miss Moss away.
Florence Locke said, "Why did you stop her?"
Ryan Sinclair was even more shocked that Shirley Moss would try to attack him, and looked at her with disbelief, saying blankly, "You wanted to hit me?"
Thea Shaw said, "You’re mistaken, she didn’t want to hit you, she wanted to kill you. Don’t act like that, it’s disgusting."
Ryan Sinclair: "..."
Julian Sinclair frowned at Miss Moss and said, "You want to kill him? This isn’t the time; don’t forget you still have a sister, will you abandon her?!"
Ryan Sinclair: "..."
Can anyone say such a thing?
Shirley Moss, pushed away by Julian Sinclair, stumbled backward and fell to the ground, slight as she was. Thinking of everything she had gone through, she covered her face and began to sob bitterly.
The sound of her crying was filled with despair and anguish, it would draw tears from anyone who heard it.
Though the story was melodramatic, the person was genuinely miserable.
Florence Locke simply couldn’t bear it; looking at that face so similar to her dear friend’s, she couldn’t stand to see such hopelessness.
She stepped closer and helped Shirley Moss up: "Get up, tell me who wrongfully imprisoned you, and we’ll put them in jail!"
