Chapter 1164 What Happened With Your Brother-In-Law
"Doris just trusts us."
Emmeline answered with a smile, glancing at Waylon.
Lily seemed unperturbed. She knew that implied that Doris trusted Waylon.
Her expression darkened a little, and her gaze sharpened.
"We'll be heading in now, Ms. Thomas."
Emmeline looped an arm around Waylon's elbow, pulling him inside.
"We can go together," Lily smiled. "Since we ran into each other, anyways."
The three of them walked into the detention center.
Doris and Daniel were sitting there with their heads bowed.
Lily asked at once, "Daniel, what's going on here? Why were you arrested?"
"Let's not talk about it here. Can we leave?"
Daniel did not feel like saying much in front of Doris.
After all, this was about her family.
Lily signed on the release papers hurriedly.
Before she left, Lily glanced at Doris.
"Wow, good job," Waylon said to Doris.
He had his back to Lily, and she could not see the look on his face.
From the way he sounded, there seemed to be… pride in his voice?
Doris said nothing, her eyes reddened as she kept her head bowed.
She stood behind Waylon quietly, watching him sign her release papers. novelbin
After that, the three of them left together.
Doris' head was still bowed as she walked along, meek and obedient.
Lily scoffed at the sight.
She glared at them, leaving with Daniel.
Waylon saw what happened on the release papers while he was signing.
So she hadn't beaten Daniel up.
Waylon was honestly a little disappointed.
They got into the car, and the driver started the engine.
Waylon said, without turning around, "Who's Norman Sinek?"
Doris' head was still bowed to hide her puffy eyes. "My brother-in-law."
"Jennie's husband?" Waylon frowned. "What'd you beat him up for?"
"Yeah, Doris," Emmeline said as well, concerned. "What's up with your brother-in-law?"
Doris rubbed her nose, saying in an almost whisper, "He had an affair. I caught him red-handed."
Emmeline was speechless. What the f*ck!
Waylon was silent, too.
This was angering for anyone to hear.
"Does your sister know?" Emmeline asked, slightly worried.
"Probably not." Doris sniffed. "She would've come crying to me if she knew. Poor Jennie, drinking withrandom clients all for her bastard husband's business only for this to happen to her!"
"What are you going to do, then?" Emmeline's chest was starting to ache for Jennie.
This made her think of when she was little.
Her mother had found out her father had cheated on her with Alondra, and cried herself to sleep everynight.
She became depressed after that, and died out of grief.
Emmeline and her brother had been too young then to understand much.
After they were old enough, it became a wound that refused to heal.
It was also why she and her brother had never gotten along with Maxwell, and even hated him.
"I don't know what to do, either."
Doris' tears flowed down her cheeks. "My sister would go crazy if she found out. What about her twodaughters?"
"But… I can't just let this happen, right?"
Emmeline said, "Well, you've got to teach the bastard a lesson at the very least! See if he turns over anew leaf and all! If he does, you can give him a chance to redeem himself. If he doesn't, you shouldjust tell your sister to let him go. No point in keeping a man like that around!"
"That works, too," Doris nodded. "I'll talk it out with Norman in private, and see what he's going to do.Meanwhile, I'll have to hide this from my sister."
"Men like that," Waylon sneered from the front seat. "I would've broken both his legs if he was mybrother-in-law!"
Abel: Hey, don't use me as an example! Do I seem like that kind of person to you?
"Do you mean…"
Doris looked up at the back of Waylon's broad shoulders. "...I should beat Norman up first?"
"Sometimes a punch is worth a thousand words," Waylon said. "Especially when it comes to bastardslike him!"
"Let's get him, then!" Emmeline fumed. "We'll beat him up twice if it doesn't work, and kick him out if itstill doesn't work!"
"Sounds good to me!" Doris's chest swelled with gusto. "I'll teach that bastard a lesson on my sister'sbehalf!"
