Free Web NovelChapter 388: PROMISED THREAT
Juliet shrieked in pain but that didn’t stop Madam Laura from cutting her skin any further.
"This is what you get for trying to mess with me. You think you can come here and talk to me however you like?" Madam Laura questioned Juliet until she was done designing her face into the finest art.
Pushing her, Juliet landed on the ground and Mary immediately ran to her to try to pacify her crying before the wardens came in. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Endure it, don’t cry. If the wardens come in here and punish madam Laura, she’s only going to punish you even more," Mary said to Juliet but she doubted the latter could even hear talk more of understanding what she said since she was in pain.
Felicia who had been watching the whole scene display snickered after what she wanted to happen had happened.
"Madam Laura, how can we be sure that Juliet will stay out of your way after what you did? She’s hot headed and I’m sure even though she’s in pain right now, she must be plotting how to get back at you," Felicia said, intending to add more fuel to the fire.
"I would love to see her try," said Madam Laura before she left while her lackeys followed behind her.
Mary assisted Juliet in standing up so that she could lead her to the bed to sit down.
"Wait here, I will go bring some water and a towel," she said and left to go bring the items.
Since Madam Laura had already walked away, there was nothing left for the other inmates to witness anymore so they started dispersing one after the other while exchanging words between themselves.
After they had left, Felicia crouched down to Juliet’s level, whose hands were still used to cover her face.
"Why would you steal that phone, Juliet? You know that Madam Laura doesn’t play with that phone. You know that if the wardens find that phone, she would be in trouble but you still went and took it from her. What were you planning to do? Frame her?" Felicia asked while checking her nails which needed an urgent medical.
After waiting a few seconds but still didn’t get a reply, Felicia added.
"I hope you’ve learned your lesson this time Juliet. Don’t mess with me ever again unless you want to get cut like this again."
"Leave this place immediately." Felicia heard Mary’s voice from behind her but showed an uninterested expression to her command. "You are the reason this has happened to my daughter and you even dare to threaten her after what you did?"
"Look here old hag, your daughter simply got what she deserved. I wasn’t the one who took the phone and hid it in her bed—"
"Shut up!" Mary snapped. "We both know you are the one who hid the phone so don’t try to play innocent in front of me," she added.
Felicia simply shrugged. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t, but either way, I hope your daughter won’t try to cross my path again."
Without wasting any more seconds there, Felicia left the cell room since her work there was done.
As soon as Felicia left, Mary rushed towards Juliet and squeezed the towel before trying to make Juliet take her hands away from her face.
Her face was still bleeding and her hands were stained with her blood.
"You have to let go so that I can clean the blood before you get an infection, Juliet," she tried to convince Juliet.
After spending some time trying to convince her, Juliet finally listened and took her hands away from her face.
Mary gasped when she saw Juliet’s bloody face. The towel she was holding dropped without her knowing since she was too focused on how bloody Juliet’s face was at the moment.
"This...." she paused while lifting her hand slowly towards Juliet’s face. "This is too much..." she finally completed her statement, while tears brimmed in her eyes.
"Just clean it off, mum." Juliet forced out of her throat.
Mary quickly nodded and sniffed back the tears before she picked up the towel and drained it again before she placed it on Juliet’s face gently.
Juliet winced in pain. Mary noticed and quickly moved the towel away but Juliet stopped her. "Continue," she said.
Mary continued to wipe the blood away and eventually, the clean water she brought with her had already turned red so she needed to throw that one away and bring in another clean bowl of water.
"Stay here, I will be right back." She said and left immediately to throw that one away.
In the cell room, Juliet moved her head to stare outside of the cell room and instantly, she made eye contact with Felicia who seemed to have been waiting for her to look at her.
A smile tugged on the sides of Felicia’s lips and Juliet didn’t have to ask why she was smiling since she was that reason.
Felicia changed her expression like that of a person who was puking before she laughed it off. The other inmates beside her turned to see what she was laughing at. When they saw Juliet’s face, they immediately started to laugh as well.
"This is what she gets for trying to mess with Madam Laura. I can only hope that she can finally control that mouth of hers after this."
"And even if she doesn’t, it only means we get to watch her getting humiliated again." They said and laughed loudly.
Even though there was still quite some distance between them, Juliet could still hear everything they said since they spoke loud enough for her to.
"I was on my own and you decided to frame me. You are a snake under the grass, Felicia. But no worries, this just means that I have to pay you back and I will make sure to pay back ten folds. You’re going to regret ever doing this to me, Felicia." Juliet promised before a smile tugged on the corner of her lip.
