Can’t Win Me Back

“I heard that a few hundred citizens went protesting at the city hall today, demanding Mayor Hodgson’s resignation!”

A total of seven people had been arrested, including Zoe, Betty, and Freddy.

They were under detention until they were formally indicted.

Meanwhile, the Hodgson couple was devastated to learn that their only son lost his tongue and injured his balls. Minnie took ibuprofen multiple times a day to soothe herself, fainting frequently from all the crying. All her time awake was spent crying and begging her husband to bail Freddy out.

“What else could you do aside from crying? It’s all your fault that he ended up in this situation! You spoilt him!” Orlander pointed a finger at Minnie while he chided her. “He attempted to rape Lauren Beckett, the daughter of Javier Beckett! He certainly has great taste in women, doesn’t he? He’s not only ruining his future but also dragging me down with him.

“The entire nation has probably watched him take off his pants eagerly and top her! My political career ended because of him!”

At the same time, Minnie was crying her heart out. She retorted, “How could you only care for your career at this time? Nothing is more important than your son!”

Orlander cussed, feeling his blood pressure rise from dealing with Minnie. Still, he called his attorney to help Freddy. Unfortunately, the attorney only had bad news for him.

Due to the scale of the scandal, the police rejected the Hodgsons’ request for bail on medical grounds.

Still stubborn, Minnie grabbed Orlander’s arm and pleaded, “Didn’t you have a good chat with her? She and Winston Taylor
