Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 382

Chapter 382: 382-Hello Criminal

Helanie:

"This is to freedom and justice," Penn raised his glass of juice, making us all laugh at him. It had been a week, and things had gotten better.

Jenny didn’t face any punishment because it was self-defense. The details of the case were kept under the rug at our request, from me and Jenny. But Evaline’s name was mentioned because Lamar wanted it there and for his sister to get justice.

We met up at the café today to enjoy our freedom. I mean, they didn’t know yet that my journey had only just begun.

"Lamar!" Benita arrived with a hand on her chest. "I’m so happy your sister got justice. Not everyone has a brother like you who never lets it go and somehow puts the culprit in his place."

She had such a fake vibe to her. Or maybe it was because I didn’t like her. So everything she did seemed fake to me.

"Thank you," Lamar replied to her with a mild smile. He knew about this woman and how she always preached about being the purest and pointing out flaws in others.

"And Jenny!" Then she pouted, looking so fake. I remember when she told us Gavin had come here with his other girlfriend. I swear she purposely didn’t say Jenny’s name. She knew her name but acted like she didn’t.

"How are you feeling now? It’s not easy to have your mate attack you to hide his truth," she made Jenny feel so uncomfortable.

We wanted everyone to stop coming up to us and reminding us of every single detail they heard in the news.

"At least she gave him karma," I stood up for Jenny, who hadn’t been able to say a word. Her brother smiled at me while Gavin and Lamar kept glaring at Benita.

"True," Benita’s smile faded before she said, "Jenny, you must know the other two victims whose identities were kept safe?"

I stared at her in disbelief. Was she really here to get inside information?

"Their identities are protected for a reason. Some thoughtless people will come asking them about their experience despite the fact that it would make them uncomfortable," If she was a smart woman as she claimed to be, she would have known Penn was teasing her.

But she didn’t.

She sighed and nodded, "Some people just love gossip. But tell the girls, if they want someone to love them like a mother, come to me."

I rolled my eyes and looked away while Gavin and Lamar elbowed each other.

"A mommy love?" Lamar commented, and the look on Benita’s face was hilarious. She was offended, but Lamar was also too much.

"I was just saying," he shrugged, while Benita left the table.

"Hey, not even a woman with a child?" Jenny complained to Lamar, whose mood changed into something entirely different when watching Jenny.

Now that he knew Jenny wasn’t playing us and she did help us behind our backs, Lamar was kind of waiting for the moment to make a move again.

This was our first meetup after the case, so it would take time for the two to move forward with their relationship. But I was happy for them.
