Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: Greatly Shocked
Originally, he was sentenced to three years in prison for a series of charges including defamation and fraud.
But to his surprise, the prison guard told him that someone had posted bail for him, allowing him to be released earlier than expected.
This news came as a huge surprise, hitting Ryan Richard like a bolt from the blue.
After all, the Richard Family had fallen into disrepair and had nothing left. Now, Ryan Richard really wanted to know who had posted his bail.
His gaze began searching around, thinking that since someone had paid his bail, that person must want to meet him. Thus, they would definitely be waiting outside the prison for him upon his release.
While Ryan was thinking this, Evelyn Curtis had already positioned herself in front of him.
This action nearly made Ryan’s body tremble instinctively, causing his back to bend.
Although he had been in prison for less than three months, it was, after all, filled with fierce and ferocious inmates.
Ryan might have been a wastrel, but at the end of the day, he hadn’t committed atrocities, so spending time imprisoned with these people had brought significant psychological pressure on him, turning nodding and bowing into an almost subconscious reaction.
Ryan also looked behind himself.
He somewhat doubted that this woman was here for him.
But when he realized there was no one else around but himself, he tentatively mustered the courage to ask the person in front of him: "You... are you looking for me?"
Seeing Ryan’s timid appearance, Evelyn Curtis felt amused.
She cleared her throat and slowly called out his name.
"Ryan Richard."
Ryan was momentarily stunned.
He felt that the voice was very unfamiliar.
"Was it you who...bailed me out?"
Aside from the woman in front of him, there was no one else around the prison, and she had called him by his name, leading Ryan to naturally inquire.
"Who are you?"
For some reason, looking at the small part of the woman’s face that was visible, Ryan found it very familiar.
"Long time no see."
Evelyn Curtis hooked her finger on her sunglasses, but didn’t completely remove them from her face, only revealing her eyes and eyebrows, allowing him to make out her approximate look.
When Ryan saw Evelyn Curtis’s appearance, he was shocked and retreated several steps backward.
"Charlotte Thompson!"
Ryan’s voice could barely hold, wavering on the edge of breaking as he pointed at Evelyn, his pupils trembling wildly.
He never expected that Charlotte Thompson would be the one to come see him!
"Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
Ryan certainly hadn’t forgotten that it was because of Charlotte that he ended up in prison in the first place.
Furthermore, Charlotte was no longer the Sophie Allen that he used to manipulate and flatten at will.
A terrifying thought then surfaced in Ryan’s mind,
Charlotte seeing him now couldn’t be intending to silence him by killing, could she!
The very next second, Ryan felt as if several men in black might suddenly emerge from somewhere and kidnap him.
Therefore, Ryan kept retreating, trying to maximize the distance between himself and the person in front of him.
But his legs had already gone weak, lacking the strength to support his departure, leaving him to clumsily fall to the ground.
