Chapter 713 713
[Song Recommendation: Kailee Morgue - Siren.]
[A very fitting song for Diamond.]
Diamond parked her car in front of the police station where her little brother, Derek, worked as an officer. This was the place where they brought that bastard Tommy Davis after he got arrested during the broadcast.
Of course, she had no intention of meeting with Tommy. They had zero connection whatsoever, and she was already disgusted thinking about that man anyway.
She came here to meet with her brothers, Desmond and Derek.
Thus, she texted them both;
-
From: Diamond.
Meet me in the parking lot after you're done with that bastard. I want to hear the progress coming out of your mouth.
-
"And now we wait," Diamond said as she put her phone on the dashboard and picked up her Starbucks drink.
She sipped her drink while staring at the police station in front of her. She scoffed as she murmured, "If I have the power to do it, I'd probably put at least thirty people in jail so they will be registered as sex offenders. My life as a teenage model without a guardian or any backing is just so hard."
Diamond was blessed with beauty. She had that Naomi Campbell-esque unique look that made her stand out compared to the other models.
But beauty wasn't the only important thing in fashion. You needed connections, people who would help you get the job or protect you against those crooked old men.
But she wasn't lucky.
After the death of her brother, Diamond's family plunged into poverty.
They spent way too much for that faux psychologist, and when her Dad was jailed for killing that psychologist, she became the backbone of the family when she went into modeling.
"I was robbed out of my teenage years," Diamond murmured. "I have to struggle so much just so I can get enough money for my family, and now that our lives are great, I can't help to think about what I'm going to do in the future."
Surely, Diamond wanted to continue to be Mr. Phoenix Gray's secretary. It was her calling, she preferred to work in an office, and she also liked this job when she could get so busy and active without worrying about anything other than for her to do her job well.
But what concerned her more was her love life.
She went on plenty of blind dates, but none fit her.
They were either an asshole who wanted her because of her beauty or a broke man who would probably leech onto her.
She needed a man who would be able to match her perfectly.
"Just like Vernon and Chloe, they match each other perfectly. Vernon is very impatient, rash, emotional, and basically a grumpy man who wouldn't be good as a father," Diamond commented as she assessed Chloe and Vernon's personalities.
"Meanwhile, my homegirl is weak-willed and easily bullied. She is too kind for her own good sometimes, but she is a natural caretaker. She has a strong motherly feeling, and she's very soft. And that's where they compliment each other. Vernon acts as a guardian for her, and Chloe as his caretaker."
Diamond sighed, "Maybe there will be one day I can find someone that can complete me."
It took at least thirty minutes until Desmond and Derek left the police station. They went to Diamond's car and entered the car.
Diamond handed them their burgers as lunch and then asked, "So, is everything according to our plan?"
Desmond replied, "Yeah, Tommy is inside right now, and with so many charges stacked against him, I will make sure that he will not escape jail time."
"But how long would he serve his jail time? Four years? Five years?" Diamond asked.
"Unfortunately, yes," Desmond sighed. "His biggest crime is statutory rape, and that would put him into two to a hundred years jail time. Unfortunately, I can probably charge him from up to five years in prison, because he didn't impregnate any of his victims, and none of them were below the age of twelve."
"But I can assure you that he WILL serve that five years without parole," Desmond said confidently.
"That's unfortunate," Diamond said. "I actually expect him to spend at least fifty years in jail. But it seems that he's smarter than he looks. He knows not to impregnate the woman he slept with, and also made sure that his girlfriends are at least thirteen years old."
"Or maybe he just happened to land on those thirteen to sixteen years old," Desmond added. "It's very unlikely for him to pick those girls because they are more than twelve. He just probably had luck by not accidentally sleeping with a literal child."
Diamond sighed. She looked over her shoulder and saw that her brother was still eating his burger, "Derek, you know what to do, right?"
Derek nodded. He swallowed the food in his mouth and replied, "It's fine if he only got five years to serve. In fact, I can probably put him out of his misery in one year."
Desmond frowned.
It seemed that his siblings already had another plan in mind, and he wasn't included.
So he asked, "What's with this arrangement that I don't know of?"
Derek chuckled, "It's not a big deal, Bro. Diamond told me that she wants Tommy to suffer in jail."
"Suffer?"
Diamond nodded, "I told Derek to throw him to the wolves. Make sure that every inmate knows Tommy is a child predator. It's even better if you fabricate some lies about him, making sure to incite the anger of those inmates."
"Because from what I know, most of those criminals might be cruel, but they aren't heartless. Most of them have a soft spot for children, and now imagine how angry they would be knowing there's a child predator who hurt so many innocent girls," Diamond said. She already imagined the bloodbath that would happen in the prison. "You don't need to kill him, Derek, just make sure that he suffers long enough until he decides to end his own life. That's the fitting end for a bastard like him."
Derek nodded, "I can do that, sis. Don't worry."
Desmond wasn't shocked at Diamond's plan. She was always the smartest out of them all. She was also the most adept but also the most cruel.
"You know, I think you're supposed to end up with Mr. Phoenix Gray," Desmond commented.
Diamond frowned, "And why so?"
"Because you two are both smart, efficient, yet cruel at the same time. You two will fit just fine," Desmond said. "And Chloe… uhh… I—I can marry her instead."
Diamond laughed when she heard that. Of course, her brothers weren't giving up Chloe. She was gorgeous, and she was also a good mother.
"First of all, I don't have any romantic feelings with my boss. We're pretty similar, perhaps, but that's what makes us a great partner-in-crime, NOT lovers. We're supposed to work together."
"But a man like Vernon only fits with a woman like Chloe. A woman who would calm his heart, giving him the true sense of 'home,' and also supporting him through thick and thin," Diamond added.
"But me? No, I don't like a hot blooded man who naturally intimidates everyone. Who will yell at anything and getting grumpy for the smallest thing possible, plus, I'm also not that good with kids,"
Diamond recalled her boss, Mr. Vernon Phoenix Gray.
She admitted that she was charmed by him when they first worked together.
Vernon was undoubtedly handsome, and he was rich. Two combinations that were deadly enough to charm her.
'But I prefer my sanity more than his handsome face,' Diamond thought. Thus, she quickly dropped her feelings and decided to work professionally.
"Second, the moment I saw Chloe and Vernon together, I just knew that they're meant to be together," Diamond commented. "You'll see it in your own eyes later, their chemistry together, it's obvious that nobody can fit Vernon more than Chloe and vice versa."
Desmond sighed.
He had to admit that Chloe was just absolutely stunning to the point that he wished he'd meet her sooner.
Derek looked at his brother and patted his shoulder, "I think we should just give up on her and be happy, Bro," Derek comforted. "After all, even our ever-so-competent sister is on Chloe and Vernon's side, not us."
"Hahah, you're right," Desmond laughed dryly. "Anyway, I will take this case of Tommy, and make sure that he will get his heaviest sentencing possible. I'll talk to you two later."
Desmond exited the car, leaving Diamond and Derek alone.
Derek finished his burger and said, "I also have to leave now. I still have things to do, talk to you later, sis."
"Wait, Derek—"
"Yes?"
"Before you leave, I want to ask you about Chelsea Davis," Diamond said. "Do you know any info regarding that woman's trial?"
"Well, the trial will be set in early February. She is currently detained in the nearest prison, but there's a talk about putting her in the mental hospital instead, at least until her trial, because she already exhibits signs of insanity."
