I smiled self-deprecatingly and dialed Jordon's number directly. As soon as the call was connected, Jordon's impatient voice came out.
“Are you going to say that the children are being abused in school again? Who dares to touch the Howell Family's children?
“Don't act pitiful here. I just sent the two children to learn some rules. Do you have to call me over and over again?
“Diana, you really make me sick!”
Before I could say a word, Jordon on the other end of the phone hung up.
I was on speakerphone, so every word of what I said reached my sister-in-law's ears.
Her face turned pale and she trembled for a long time, as if she did not know how to persuade me anymore.
I tried to force a smile, but tears fell down my face as I begged, “Please, I have nothing left, please let me go, I really can’t stand it anymore.”
Before my sister-in-law was about to say something, two policemen walked up to us.
“Excuse me, are you the family of the deceased? The relevant person in charge of the education school has been detained by us and now we need your cooperation in the investigation.”
As soon as I entered the police station, I saw the men who had come to my house to take my daughters yesterday.
I instantly lost my mind and rushed towards them screaming and crying.
“You beasts! You are all beasts! They are only five years old, how could you have the heart to do that to them? How dare you!”
The police immediately hurriedly pulled me away and my sister-in-law hugged me as I lost control of my emotions.
“Diana, don't be like this. Don't worry, the police will handle the case impartially. With our Howell Family here, they will definitely not have a good ending.”
Those men were probably frightened by my madness and huddled in a corner with their lips curled.
“It’s your failure as a mother for not raising your child properly.
“This is how we discipline students here—no punishment, no success. Who would have thought your daughters would be so fragile? Truly unfortunate.”
I pointed at them with trembling fingers, the anger in my heart seemed to be about to explode, until I wished I could tear them into pieces.
A fishy smell rose from my throat, I suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, closed my eyes and lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, I was in the Howell Family’s old house. My sister-in-law was standing by my bed with red eyes.
