A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 129 Remarry

Josefina seemed to have not heard him at all, only rushing to the other side.

She hadn’t seen Braylen for more than a year. Now she didn’t have the courage to face

him.

She married again. She was no longer the innocent girl she used to be. She was not good enough for him, and now

she was even less qualified to stand in front of him.

She walked in a hurry and accidentally bumped into a waiter. After hastily apologizing, she trotted and disappeared

around the corner of the corridor.

Braylen chased after him with a dark face, but he did not see her around the corner.

He looked around, and Josefina seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

He turned around to look for the waiter to check the surveillance footage. Suddenly, he thought of something and

found it funny.

Now that things had come to this, she was still afraid to see him. He found it amusing.

What was he looking for her for? Even if he did find her, was there anything else to say?

He clenched his fists and pressed his knuckles against the wall until a middle–aged man.

behind him came over.

Braylen turned around to look at the man. His expression had already calmed down and he greeted, “Mr. Devich,

what a coincidence. Are you looking for someone?”

Ivan looked at him in surprise. “Mr. Swale, fancy meeting you here. I brought a new actress to bond with a few

investors. In the middle of the party, the girl said she was going out to pick up a phone. She hasn’t come back for a

long time.”

Braylen asked casually, “Wow, a new actress. What’s her name? Is she famous?”

Ivan smiled. “Nah. She just came back from abroad. Her name is Josefina Hogan. Well, Mr. Swale, if there’s an

opportunity, please introduce her to me.”

Braylen nodded. “Yeah, she is indeed an actress.”

Ivan became confused. “Mr. Swale, do you know Ms. Hogan?”

If Braylen knew her, then he would have picked up a great bargain and had to fully

support

pport Josefina.

Braylen bypassed him and left, replying lightly, “I don’t know her.”

Ivan was disappointed. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was something wrong with Braylen.

Behind the corner, Josefina stood there, her hands clenched tightly.

Braylen left Twilight Paradise immediately. After such a long time, he suddenly bumped into Josefina. He was in a

bad mood and even forgot about Darlene being brought to the police station.

It was a little cold outside and Adam was already waiting for him.

He walked over and suddenly saw Dakota appear in front of him.

Before he could call her, Dakota, who had always been gentle, raised her hand and slapped him in the face.

Braylen frowned. “Mom, what are you doing?”

Dakota asked him with a livid face, “Tell me the truth. Was it because of you calling Darlene here that accident

happened?”

Braylen felt a little guilty. “She came over voluntarily. She can’t blame anyone

else.”

Dakota was so angry that her face trembled. She raised her hand again, but she didn’t slap Braylen again.

She said in a very cold voice, “Men are supposed to do great business instead of bullying women. You’re just being

a punk.”

Braylen lowered his head and did not say a word.

For so many years, Dakota had seldom scolded him like that.

He knew that Dakota had a good temper, so he did not have the confidence to talk back

to her.

If Dakota was not pissed, she would never come to find trouble with him.

Dakota stared at him in silence for a long time before she finally sighed, “Braylen, you should think about it. Darlene

is a child adopted by the Gallard family. She is also a wife

who is not loved by Avery. She has no one to rely on. Anyone may bully her, but you

can’t.”

She tried her best to calm herself down and stop making a move on her son. She continued, “Your sister might be

in another place, like Darlene, adopted by others and living a helpless life.

“You bullied Darlene here, and others may also bully your sister in a place you can’t

see.”

Braylen’s eyes suddenly darkened. “Who dares! No one around Baltimore can challenge the Swale family!”

Dakota looked sorrowful. “Don’t do this again. I don’t feel much like talking about it. I don’t know how your sister

has been all these years. As her older brother, you should try to be a nice guy, at least for her sake.”

When she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Braylen stood where he was and did not get into the car.

His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

It was not as if he had no impression of his younger sister at all.

His sister was six years younger than him. He could still vaguely remember how he had. held that little girl when he

was six years old and called her “sister” in his arms.

Unfortunately, she soon disappeared.

Since then, the Swale family had always been shrouded in a cold atmosphere for the

past twenty years.

The other rich ladies all went to shopping malls and beauty salons, but Dakota always

went to the temple.

The Swale family also built a large, old–fashioned temple. Dakota would visit it every

day.

These years, Dakota had done so many charitable deeds. She had donated to so many orphanages and schools in

the country. She just hoped that her daughter could enjoy any of the donations she had made somewhere.

Braylen stood in place for a long time before getting into the car with a sullen face. He instructed Adam in front of

him, “Call Avery and tell him to go to the police station to

pick up someone.”

Adam asked, “Mr. Swale, if we call Mr. Gallard like this, he will know that this matter has something to do with you.”

Braylen looked up at him. “Do I look like I want to hide?”

Adam did not say much and called Avery.

At the police station.

Darlene was locked in the detention room, her hands on the table, and her wrists were

handcuffed.

Her wrist was injured. She was first stabbed by Douglas, and then she was grabbed by him. Her wrist was almost

dislocated.

Her face and body were still stained with blood. Her face was as pale as paper, and her whole body was shaking

violently.

It was late at night. There were two young male policemen on duty at the police station.

The two young men in their twenties were on night duty for the first day. They did not. expect to encounter such a

serious case. It was said that the injured one was sent to the hospital and his fate was still not yet sealed.

One of the policemen sat opposite Darlene and asked her again patiently, “Ms. Garcia, please tell me the contact

information of your family.

“In your current situation, it is not enough to explain it by yourself. Besides, your mood. is unstable now and you

need the family to come over. Only then can you be bailed out.”

Darlene’s lips were pale, and she only repeated those words, “I really didn’t intend to

kill him. That man attacked me first.

There were surveillance cameras in the private room of Twilight Paradise. When I was inside, I saw the red dot of

the camera. It must not be broken. You can go directly to the

surveillance camera.”

The policeman looked embarrassed. “The manager said that the surveillance cameras in the private room were

broken. So, you should call your family over first. There is no

benefit in dragging it out like this. I think you seem to be unable to bear it.”

Darlene shook her head. She didn’t want Avery to know about this. As for Nigel, a twelve–year–old minor, of course,

he could not bail her out.

She said with certainty, “I am an orphan. I am unmarried. I do not have a family. Officer, please help me take a look

at the surveillance footage. The surveillance footage is not broken. It must still be there.”

After spending half an hour with her like this, the police finally became impatient. He stood up and said sternly, “Ms.

Garcia, if you insist on not cooperating, then we can

only…”

Before he finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside with a bang. Avery entered with a dark

expression.

The young policeman looked at the person who entered and said sternly, “Sir, you can’t trespass into the detention

room. This is illegal! If the door is broken, you need to…”

Before he could finish his words, a ceramic cup on the table was thrown to the ground

by Avery.

The broken porcelain pieces scattered on the ground. Avery approached Darlene and lifted her face up to inspect

her. Then he pointed at the handcuffs on her hands and looked at the policeman. “Open it.“
