Chapter 17 Someone ran inside and pulled Daniel away from Monica . " Please calm down , Mr. Webb ! " Daniel's expression was murderous as he trembled with anger . He seemed oblivious to what anyone else had to say . Monica was finally free from his vice grip . She panted hard , coughing all the while . A moment later , Monica turned to Daniel in sheer disbelief . " Did you just try to kill me because of that bitch Gemma ? Have you really changed , Daniel ? Are you actually in love with Gemma now ? How could you do this to me , Daniel Webb ? " Monica screamed . But Daniel heard not a single word Monica said . All he wanted to do was to erase her from this world . Monica slowly recovered her senses as she looked at Daniel . She fearfully cupped her neck and turned to Jordan . " I'm sick ! I want to get treatment at a private asylum ! " Daniel had lost his mind . He'd actually tried to kill Monica ! Monica immediately checked into an asylum . She wouldn't receive any visitors here unless she agreed to it . She was scared Daniel would actually kill her if he found out the truth . Monica stared at Daniel's picture in her asylum ward , tears streaming down her face . As for Daniel , he was soon dragged back home by Nathan . Nathan then trashed all the furniture within his room . " Let me out ! " Nathan glared at Daniel . " I warned you to stay away from that woman , Daniel . I don't care if it's love or hate you have for her , but I will not tolerate you ruining our family reputation again ! " Locked in the house , Daniel refused all food and drink as a form of protest . But Nathan didn't care . All he wanted was to preserve the Webb family name . Daniel curled up in pain as another bout of gastritis overwhelmed him . Gemma's face surfaced in his mind once again . Daniel had never felt an ounce of love here in this house . He'd thought that being with Monica and doing all those things together was love . 4629 But it was only when Gemma showed up that Daniel finally learned what true love was . A bitter smile appeared on his lips . He flicked his lighter open and set his room on fire . When the fire grew , the house staff finally opened his bedroom door and let him out . Daniel then left for the asylum Monica was in while the rest of the house hurried to quell the flames . Meanwhile , Gemma was busy as a bee far away in a small town . It was the holiday season , and their inn was bustling with business . Ever since Gemma and Jennifer agreed on settling down here , they'd contacted all their other friends from prison . Life in the city was hard , so the women all decided to give the countryside a shot . The five women now had an inn of their own , and took care of it very well . Jennifer was good with words and was in charge of customer service . Gemma had an attention to detail and handled finances . Claudia and Clarissa Ludwicke were sisters who'd worked in a restaurant before going to prison . When the owner had sexually harassed Clarissa after getting drunk , Claudia had chopped his bits off . Both Jennifer and Gemma agreed it was well done on Claudia's part . 16 Claudia and Clarissa had amazing cooking skills . The guests constantly complimented their food . The person in charge of cleaning was Hannah Fanning , who was respected as the eldest in their group . Hannah had been sold off by her parents to a cripple when she was very young . But the cripple had sold her off again for money to pay off his gambling debts . She'd been betrayed by all the men in her life again and again . In the end , Hannah had surrendered to the harshness of life and began selling her body for money . Each of the women had their painful past . But they all cared for each other here as their own . It slowly mended the wounds in the deepest parts of their hearts , even healing some of them . When the small town was revamped into a tourist location , Gemma became so busy she didn't have time to think about her past . But that didn't meant she didn't care . Gemma knew it would be difficult to charge Monica with murder . It wasn't just because Monica was declared legally insane , but also due to there being no other eyewitnesses besides that video . Gernma never expected Monica to surface online and start twisting the narrative to her advantage .
