ine could hardly believe her eyes. The same person who once wagged his tail in front of her, pleading for sympathy, and followed her around with a sense of respect, had now transformed into someonepletely unrecognizable.<fnfe76> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find?novel</fnfe76>


    Overwhelmed by anger, she eximed, “Xiao Zhang, how can you be so heartless? Do you remember when you and your friends knelt before me, crying and begging for my help to get ahead? Now that I need your assistance, do you really have no conscience left?”


    Xiao Zhang shot ine a furious re and retorted coldly, “Don’t act like you deserve any consideration. I’m not the one being rude here!”


    ine, feeling a surge of indignation, clenched her teeth and replied, “Rude? After all I’ve done for you, you want toy a hand on me?!”


    Her outburst drew the attention of several inmates in the prison.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Many were aware that these Chinese female prisoners had been close to ine, and those who might consider confronting her were now watching to see how the women would react—whether they would stand up for ine or abandon her.


    Realizing that everyone was focused on them, Xiao Zhang didn’t want anyone to think she would support ine. With a dark expression, she pped ine across the face and shouted, “How shameless can you be? Get lost! If you don’t leave, I’ll make you regret it!”


    ine was stunned. She never imagined that the woman who had once begged for her help would now strike her when she was most in need.


    With tears welling in her eyes, ine covered her face and asked, “Xiao Zhang, even if you choose not to help me, can’t you at least show somepassion for our shared background? Even a small gesture would prevent unnecessary conflict at this moment!”


    Xiao Zhang replied dismissively, “Who the hell cares about that? I have an American passport! Unlike you, who doesn’t even have a green card, just a tourist visa!”


    “You…” ine felt a chilling despair wash over her.


    She was shocked that those she had once helped could turn so cruel!


    Overwhelmed by despair, tears streamed down ine’s face uncontrobly, as she realized that she had underestimated the depths of betrayal.


    She thought she was callous, but now she encountered someone even more shameless than she had been.


    In that moment, ine understood the absurdity of her previous beliefs.


    What she had perceived as loyalty and respect from others was merely a fa?ade; they had never truly feared or respected her at all.


    Ultimately, she had be the punchline of a cruel joke.


    When Xiao Zhang saw ine sobbing, she snapped, “If you want to cry, do it somewhere else! Don’t do it in front of me. If those Americanse for you, I won’t even bat an eye!”


    Though resentment boiled inside her, ine turned away in silence, retreating to a corner of the cafeteria.


    At that moment, a younger Chinese woman took the initiative to sit across from her, offering a fried chicken leg. “In a ce like this, trust no one, especially when you’re vulnerable. Always stay alert,” she advised.


    ine, feeling dejected, replied, “I truly didn’t expect people to be this heartless.”
