The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The one hour to unwind passed quickly, and all the inmates soon lined up to return to their cells under the prison guards' supervision.noveldrama

Elaine returned to the cell with her fellow inmates filled with dread. She felt even more uneasy upon arriving at her cell.

She did not know how long it would take for Charlie to use his connections to get the money and transfer it for the cigarettes to Jacelyn's sister, and she also did not know whether Chloe would stop bullying her then.

After returning to the cell, Elaine silently went to her bed, but her bed was still wet. Not to mention sleeping, she could not even sit on it.

Chloe then approached the bed opposite Elaine with a smile on her face. After sitting down, she looked up at Elaine, who was submissive, and smiled as she said, "1024, the prison guard said that she has already received the money from your family to buy the cigarettes."

When Elaine heard this, she heaved a huge sigh of relief immediately and quickly said respectfully, "Since the money has already been received, can... can you stop bullying me in the future, then?"

Chloe said solemnly, "1024, what are you saying? I was not bullying you. I was just teaching you the basic rules of survival in this prison cell."

Elaine hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes..."

Chloe smiled slightly and continued, "1024, I was a little too rash about some matters earlier. I also spoke to Jacelyn just now. Recently, I've been planning to include the people from the other prison cells in my group, one by one. After that, I'll become the big boss of the entire Bedford Hills Correctional Facility." Elaine did not really grasp what Chloe meant. She could not understand what Chloe meant when she said that she had been a little too rash and wanted to become the big boss of this prison. These two things did not go together, so Elaine could not understand what Chloe intended to express.

Chloe then spoke up again and said, "If I want to recruit others, I naturally have to give them certain benefits. Cigarettes are the best hard currency here, so if I want to become the big boss of Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, I would naturally need more cigarettes. In that case, two cigarettes a day would not be enough."

Only then did Elaine understand what Chloe meant when she said that she had been a little too rash. It turned out that she had been rash in naming the price.

Elaine felt extremely furious deep down in her heart.

She had never met anyone who was as shameless as Chloe.

Even Lady Wilson could not be so shameless to this extent. She would get ahead of herself repeatedly and even go back on her own words again and again.

First, it was one cigarette a day, then it became two a day, and two cigarettes a day would then become four cigarettes a day. If Elaine did as Chloe said, it would cost her four thousand US dollars a day, which was an astronomical figure!

Although Elaine did not know the

level of consumption in the United States, she thought to herself, 'This d*mned red-haired foreign devil looks kind but has such an evil and ruthless heart! Four thousand US dollars a day would be more than a hundred thousand US dollars a month! Outside, one could already hire an assassin to kill her for a hundred thousand US dollars!'

When Chloe saw that Elaine did not answer immediately, she frowned and put her smiling face aside immediately. After that, she raised her hand and slapped Elaine as she shouted angrily, "Why aren't you answering me when I'm asking you a question? Are you courting your own death?"

Elaine's face was already swollen and pained, and she felt extreme pain when Chloe slapped her. Her tears of aggression suddenly flowed out again, and she could only cry and say, "Don't hit me anymore... I will call my son-in-law tomorrow and ask him to buy four cigarettes starting tomorrow, okay?"

Chloe snorted and then looked at Elaine as she said contemptuously, "You're really a miserable wretch. Couldn't you have agreed to my request earlier? You just had to get slapped before agreeing to it. I'm in a good mood today, so I will not hold it against you, but if you dare to hesitate in front of me again in the future, I will beat you to death even if you finally agree to my request. Do you understand me?"

Elaine's body trembled in fright when she heard this.

Based on what Chloe had said, four cigarettes a day was not the upper limit, and Elaine did not know what other stringent condition this red-haired devil would have for her in the future.

Still, Elaine could not worry about all this at this time. She was afraid that Chloe would lose her temper again, so she could only cry and nod repeatedly as she said, "I understand... I understand..." Only then was Chloe finally satisfied.
