Chapter 310: Chapter 310 Unrepentant Even in Death_1

"In conclusion, I have the earrings, if you want them back, come see me at the detention center, if you don’t want them, pretend you never received this phone call."

After Chen Momo finished speaking, her permission to use the phone in the detention center had just expired causing her to reluctantly hang up.

She was uncertain if Xia Qingtian would really come, her heart was full of uneasiness.

Xia Qingtian was lost in thought after hearing the busy signal on her phone.

She didn’t know what Chen Momo wanted by setting up a meeting, nor whether the earrings really were with her, or if it was just a pretext to lure her to the detention center.

Chen Momo really understood her very well.

Those earrings held a special meaning for her, they were a coming of age gift from her mother.

She cherished them so much that she only dared to wear them on special occasions. Once, she couldn’t resist flaunting them at a party, but she had drunk too much that night and when she woke up, they were gone.

She searched everywhere, but couldn’t find them. She was so upset about it for a long time.

After her mother passed away, these earrings took on even greater significance. Therefore, even if she suspected Chen Momo might be tricking her, she had to go.

However, since Chen Momo was currently locked in a detention center, even if Xia Qingtian went to see her, she couldn’t do anything anymore.

Thinking so, Xia Qingtian tidied herself up and headed to the detention center.

When she saw Chen Momo again, she hardly recognized her.

Chen Momo’s features were so swollen and distorted that she looked nothing like her normally glamorous self.

Upon seeing Xia Qingtian, Chen Momo wept as if she had found her savior.

However, the tears on her face stung her wounds, causing her to grimace in pain. This made her already swollen face look even more grotesque, like a hideous ghost.

Even crying had become a luxury for her now.

"Qingtian, please save me..." Chen Momo couldn’t care less about her dignity anymore, with the thought of the horrifying prison life that was worse than hell.

As long as she could escape, she was willing to give up anything.

Qingtian scrunched up her eyebrows and instinctively asked, "How did you go from..."

Chen Momo looked scared, shaking in fear. "I’m here for murder, they locked me up with criminals who’ve committed similar offenses, waiting for trial."

"These people are violent criminals, they beat me every day for no reason. If I report them to the police and they are punished, they will beat me even harder and more vicious."

"So, I dare not fight back. I’m used as a human punching bag every day, I can’t bear it anymore."

The thought of being sent to prison, which is ten times, a hundred times worse than here, filled her with terror.

She had consulted a lawyer, and the evidence of her murdering Qian Wenbin and plotting to kidnap and kill Xia Qingtian was conclusive; if nothing unexpected happened, even under the best circumstance, she would still be sentenced to life imprisonment.

In the worst-case scenario, she might be sentenced to death.

The difference between them being, one meant death and the other was a fate worse than death.

She didn’t want to die, and she didn’t want to live a life worse than death.

So, she had to save herself.

But she had faced reality. Neither Bo Jingyan nor his grandfather would help her anymore.

They cared about Xia Qingtian so much; if she could reconcile with her, the two men would naturally help her.

What she needed to do now was to get Xia Qingtian to agree to help her.

"Qingtian, I know my mistakes now. I can’t hold on any longer, you are my only hope." Chen Momo looked at her pleadingly.

"Chen Momo..." Xia Qingtian didn’t answer. Instead, she looked into her eyes and asked tentatively, "In fact, the pair of earrings my mother gave me is not with you at all. This is just a lie to get me to meet you, right?"

A moment of panic flashed in Chen Momo’s eyes.

However, she quickly realized that she was being tested and regained her composure. "No, it’s not. The earrings are really with me."

"As long as you are willing to help me avoid prison, I will return the earrings to you immediately, and I will not bother you anymore. I really know fear now."

Xia Qingtian scoffed.

"You’re lying!"

She had noticed the panic that had flashed in Chen Momo’s eyes. And a person’s subconscious reaction cannot be faked.

"You’re still lying to me, even now?!"

She looked at Chen Momo with annoyance. "Besides, you don’t really know you’re wrong. You’re just scared, scared of going to jail."

"If your crimes hadn’t been revealed, and you weren’t facing the threat of prison, you would never have said that you knew you were wrong."

Now she had seen through Chen Momo completely.

Chen Momo stretched out her hand, trying to grab her. "No, I really understand my mistake. We were best friends, please help me."

Xia Qingtian just sneered.

"Don’t mention the word ’friend’ to me. Don’t you find it disgusting? From the moment you betrayed me, we stopped being friends. Bringing it up now is just an insult."

Having confirmed that the earrings were not with Chen Momo, she no longer wanted to waste her time here.

She stood up and clearly stated her position.

"You don’t need to beg me and don’t call me anymore, because I won’t help you. This is a lawful society, since you’ve broken the law, you must accept the legal punishment."

"Let me tell you, even if we hadn’t fallen out already, and I’d been killed by you and Qian Wenbin without realizing it, or if we were still best friends, there’s no way I would help you escape legal punishment."

"Instead of thinking every day about how to take shortcuts, you should think about how to adapt to prison life, accept your reformation, and realize the mistakes you’ve made as soon as possible."

After saying this, she prepared to leave.

Chen Momo panicked immediately, "Xia Qingtian, are you really so heartless? Seeing me in such a dire state, you still won’t help me?"

Xia Qingtian paused, "Yes, I’m not a saint, I won’t help someone who’s betrayed and harmed me."

Xia Qingtian knew Chen Momo very well, she truly didn’t understand her mistake.

All those words she had just spoken, were driven by resentment and ruthlessness that she was suppressing, but now that Xia Qingtian was unwilling to help her, Chen Momo no longer needed to play the facade any longer.

The hatred that had been suppressed surged out like a volcanic eruption.

"Xia Qingtian..." Chen Momo screamed hysterically, and rushed towards her, "If you won’t help me, I won’t let you live peacefully either!!!"
