She Got A Better Man

Chapter 285

Though the issues surrounding her birth and origin caused Elvira some trouble, they didn't affect her current happy life. She was living a blissful life every day,

Karen used the money she got from Elvira to start a small company again, and she struggled alongside Vincent to run it. Starting from scratch sounded easier than it was in practice, and given her age, starting a business was not ideal.

With her son being unreliable, Karen found herself exhausted, working long hours. Every night, as she lay in bed, she regretted not raising her son properly, not recognizing Elvirá as business prodigy, and wrongly taking the wrong child as her own, which led to her losing everything.

Now, having aged rapidly by decades, she appeared no different than an eighty-year-old woman.

Amber, Judy, and Jayden had all been sent to prison to serve their sentences. Zach, of course, wasn't going to let those three who tried to harm Elvira get away easily. He had arranged for them to be "well taken care of" inside the prison, ensuring that they faced a harsh life behind bars.

On their first day in prison, the three were covered with blankets and beaten by their fellow inmates. They were so frightened that they called for the guards, but after the guards left, the beating resumed.

After several rounds of this, the three finally learned that in this place, the only way to survive was to obey. They became the lowest-ranking people in the prison, tasked with cleaning the toilets and helping others wash their feet.

When it came time for meals, they could only get mashed potato or bread. Even so, they were still subjected to occasional beatings.

Jayden, tough as he was, managed to survive, but Amber and Judy couldn't withstand such a life. Within days, they fell ill, and the doctor could only give them medication to keep them alive.

Judy was pregnant. She lay on a hard board bed, eating bread while crying. She was fortunate that no one had killed her yet, Once her child was born, she would be allowed to leave.

Amber, on the other hand, had no hope left. She hated her life and longed for death but lacked the courage to end it. She was trapped in a cycle of despair, unsure whether to live or die, knowing she would have to endure this life for over a decade.
