I'm going to spend the rest of my life in jail? I rather die than stay imprisoned like that! The woman had considered ending her life on more than one occasion when she was in prison. Regaining freedom was the only thought that kept her going.

If she were to get sent back to jail without any hope of being released again, she feared that she would not last very long.

“Please, Mr. Hudson! Don't send me back there. I... I can't go back to prison. I just can't,” pleaded the woman.

“I don't see how begging me is going to help you. The only person that can help you now is yourself,” responded Harry.

When the middle-aged woman heard that, she immediately knew what Harry wanted her to do. “Okay, I understand. Yes, I do... I do know this man.”

You b*tch! If Harry weren't around, Three-handed would have grabbed the woman by the neck and choked her to death right then and there.


“What do you have to say for yourself now, Three-handed?” questioned Harry.

The burly man then smiled awkwardly at Harry before replying, “Now that I think about it, I realize I do recognize this woman, Mr. Hudson. She was begging on the streets when I passed by her a few days ago. I thought she was rather pitiful, so I decided to give her some money. It's not against the law to show someone kindness, is it?”

“Cut the bullsh*t, Three-handed! Now tell me why you tried to frame First Bloom Apparel,” ordered Harry. “Is this personal, or did somebody ask you to do it?”

Three-handed knew he could hide the truth from Harry no longer, so he decided to deal with the situation head-on. “Why do you care about First Bloom Apparel so much, Mr. Hudson? Are they friends of yours? Or maybe relatives?”

In response, Harry shook his head. “They're neither my friends nor my relatives. I'm just doing my job.”

“I see. Then this shouldn't be too complicated,” commented Three-handed, who was convinced that Harry simply came up with an excuse to extort more money from him.

Hence, the man quickly pulled out a bank card and handed it to Harry. “Here's a token of my gratitude, Mr. Hudson. It's not much, but I hope you'll gladly accept it.”

“Are you trying to bribe a public official, Three-handed? I can hold you legally responsible for that, you know?” sneered Harry after glancing at the card. “You better put your filthy card away before I charge you for bribery.”

Huh? Then why is he here? I don't understand. Three-handed was stunned when he realized that he was wrong about Harry's motivation.
