At Ridgeview Women's Prison. A woman lay sprawled on the grimy, chaotic floor, her breath barely perceptible, yet her eyes were wide open, staring unblinkingly at the ceiling. Anna hadn't eaten in three days. If this continued, she would starve to death. Two years ago, James had personally thrown her into this place, and every day since, she had been fighting to stay alive. The Carter family stood at the pinnacle of Ridgeview's elite, and James was the heir. Under his leadership, Carter Corporation had flourished, making him the most powerful man in Ridgeview. Anna could still vividly remember James gripping her throat, his eyes filled with a hatred so intense it seemed to pierce through her. "You'll spend your life under my torment. The debt your brother owes, I'll collect it from you, bit by bit." The more miserable Anna's life became, the more satisfaction James seemed to derive from it. She could still picture his teeth-gritted fury. Two years ago, James's mother was in a car accident, and after an investigation, Anna's brother was identified as the driver at fault. James's mother was gravely injured and died before she could reach the hospital. She was the only person James truly cared about in the Carter family, and her death hit him hard, deepening his hatred. Anna's brother, Evan Mitchell, was also severely injured in the accident. He was taken to the hospital but hadn't yet passed the critical stage when James had him sent to Ridgeview's largest prison. Upon hearing the news of her son causing a fatal accident and being imprisoned, Anna's mother was so distraught that she suffered a stroke, leaving her in a vegetative state despite all efforts. The Mitchell family consisted of just three people: a mother in a vegetative state, a brother in prison, leaving Anna to bear the brunt of the punishment. That day marked the beginning of Anna's nightmare. She couldn't believe her usually cautious and careful brother would hit someone with a car, but no one listened to her explanations. James ordered her to be thrown directly into Ridgeview Women's Prison. In the women's prison, while others faced hard labor, Anna faced endless humiliation. "Anna Mitchell, I want you to wish you were never born!" That phrase echoed in her mind countless times, and she often wished for death. But thinking of her imprisoned brother and her gravely ill mother, Anna could only choose to live on in humiliation. Only by living could there be hope.
