Chapter 856
Dailey retorted, "What do you mean I'm not taking this seriously?"
"If it weren't for your close relationship with Merritt's grandmother, | wouldn't have kept her around to compare
notes with Merritt."
"Even legally, without statements, there's no way to file charges or convict anyone."
Nelly wasn't surprised. She knew Dailey's ways all too well.
But all of this didn't matter anymore.
At this point, there was nothing to do but wait for the right opportunity to escape
the country.
As long as Dailey didn't throw her in jail or worse, end her life.
There was always a chance.
"Ms. Jackson... even if you don't like Dai and want to separate from him, don't useas a scapegoat. Can't we
women be a little friendlier to each other?"
Christine let out a cold laugh.

When you were plotting against me, did you ever think about being "friendly"? She said, "Merritt already told me
everything. Your acting is unnecessary now." Dailey chimed in, "If you don't want to see her, fine. Let Merritt
cover. Once they compare stories, justice will follow."
Christine definitely wanted Nelly behind bars, but Merritt had been involved too.
Nelly was cunning enough to have a backup plan.
She feared Merritt going to jail, leaving Helena unattended.
Moreover, she didn't want Merritt's promising future to be ruined.
"Christine, if you side with me, | can handle your concerns. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Otherwise...
Even if Merritt was misled by Nelly into participating in the RiverCity plan that night.
With Dailey's influence, he could still end up in jail.
Christine once again felt like her words were borrowed.
Why did she always manage to complicate things?
She intended to use Nelly to escape, but instead dragged Merritt into it.
"Do you enjoy using your power to bully ordinary people like us?"
Dailey's face darkened as he heard her defend Merritt.
"Christine, don't push me."
"That's exactly what | wanted to say to you."
The tension was palpable when Caldwell stood up and said, "Dailey, you can try to get what you want, but
people have minds of their own. Forceful tactics will only lead to loss in the end."
"If she loved you as she told your grandmother, we might not be so opposed."
"But she
doesn't love you and w to leave. We can't stand by a

Normand gestured to the middle-aged man beside him.
Immediately, someone with impressive skills restrained Dailey.
Primo and his group moved forward, only to be stopped by guns pointed at their heads.

The middle-aged man stepped forward and grabbed Dailey's wrist.
As soon as Christine was free from Dailey, she left without looking back.
"Let go!" Dailey's voice was ice-cold, filled with intense anger.
The middle-aged man tightened his grip on Dailey's wrist, his face still smiling, "Young master, | don't know my
own strength. If you end up in the hospital, don't blme."
Dailey's gaze was sharp and cold, "Linden, you can try to touch me."
Linden Clarkson was unfazed by the threat, "Apologies, young master."
"Stop!"
Dailey's mother, Jayne, rushed over. Normand had already raised his hand but couldn't stop her.
He could only call out to her, "Stay out of this."
Jayne was angry about the situation with Christine and wanted them apart.
But she couldn't just stand by and watch her son get hurt by their own family.
After all, this was the son she had brought into the world.
"Dailey, she doesn't love you. Why insist on this?"
Dailey smiled, "But | love her."
"And it's her, or no one."
