To people like them who lived a pampered life of luxury, the art of embroidery was completely
unfamiliar territory. They had never held a needle at home. If something was damaged, they would just
throw it out, so there was no use for needles.
Needles punctured their fingers, and it was frightening to look at.
Out of carelessness, the needle on Emily’s right hand once again pricked her left index finger.
As the stinging pain spread, the last of her patience was gone. She immediately threw the embroidery
frame onto the ground, wailing and yelling, “Are we living in ancient times right now?”
“To think handmade embroidery still exists! How would I know how to do it?! Is this torture? I’m a
pregnant woman. What merits do they have for torturing me to death?”
“Why did the others get so little handkerchiefs while we get so many? Did that sh*tty Xyla Quest bribe
someone?”

the Sullivan family’s child!”
She was going mad. Ever since she got here, her mother and she had been doing work the whole time
like they were the busiest people in the detention center.
On the first day, they had washed over a hundred sets of tableware and dozens of clothes. The second
day, they were forced to embellish so many handkerchiefs!
Besides this, they were also assigned to a huge detention cell with a group of fierce-looking and an
unpleasant group of women. This group of people showed both of them no respect They wanted these
women to help them with their embroidery, but none of them were willing.
Was the officer in charge of the detention center crazy?
Why were they treating her this way? Weren’t they afraid that she would take revenge on them once
she got out? Didn’t they know she was a young lady from a wealthy family?
“That’s enough, what’s with the ramblings? If you keep nagging, I’ll rub your face on the floor and beat
you to a pulp!” a bald inmate said coldly.
“Would you have the guts to?” Emily retorted.
“Why not? You must not know that I’m temporarily held here for murder. A murderer will have to die
eventually, so do you think I’ll be afraid of you?” The bald inmate shouted.
Emily immediately shrunk back as her heartbeat faster. She could not afford to offend a death row
prisoner.
“Do your embroidery properly! If you can’t finish what’s in front of you today, I’ll beat you up so bad that
no one will recognize you! I heard that you’d be getting married once you get out. Do you want to wear
your wedding gown with a swollen face? Huh?”
The bald inmate continued to threaten as the others glared at Emily with bloodthirsty eyes.
Emily was furious, but she could only suppress it. After a deep breath, she picked up the handkerchief

May shuddered. She looked at Emily and said, “That’s enough dear, let’s endure it for a bit. Everything
will be fine once we get out.”
“Yeah…” Emily nodded firmly.
“I’ve already inquired. We’ll be freed one day before your wedding so it’s only just a few more days.
Let’s be patient,” May added.
Emily nodded again. As she was distracted, the needle once again pricked deeply into her left thumb.
Blood flowed immediately.
“Ah!” She quickly retracted her hand, braced the pain, and pulled out the needle. As she sucked her
thumb, the strong taste of blood spread inside her mouth.
May’s heart tightened painfully. She asked with reddened eyes, “Are you okay? Does it hurt?”
Emily nodded. “I’m not okay… Mom, it really hurts.”
“Endure it. Once we get out, let’s deal with that b*tch Xyla Quest!” May gritted her teeth.
Having said that, she was suddenly hit hard on the back of her head.
