บท 52: Klein's predicament

Lessie was led into a room where her husband awaited her. Henry shook his head upon seeing her. Was this how she had deteriorated in less than 24 hours?

He felt guilty for allowing her to meddle in the breakup between Allen and their daughter Lenora. Lessie's eyes looked hollow and puffy, her hair disheveled, reflecting the signs of someone deep in depression.

"Henry, get me out of here. You're living in luxury while I'm stuck behind bars," Lessie said angrily.

Seeing him there, she felt he wasn't doing enough. If he truly cared, he would have secured an attorney to bail her and defend Brandon.

"You think I haven't been trying or that I'm comfortable with you and our son locked up? Everything that's happened is due to your careless words.

Brandon is the only heir to the Klein family and business. He's in jail, and you think everything can go back to how it was?" Henry snapped at her.
