Amidst the sound of people standing up, the solemn voice of the judge rang out once more.

"This court pronounces that the defendant Zedd Michaels' lapses in judgements have caused others to be incapacitated. He is suspected of forging evidence and obstructing justice... and is sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and fined a total of 1,883,600 dollars!" "The defendant, Lauren Heady, is dropped of all charges in court and exempted from detention depending on the circumstances. Instead, she is to be given a warning, and a fine of 33,000 dollars. She is released at court! This is the final judgement by the Casterwich City High Court!"

With a buzz in her head, Lauren only caught the key words, and her eyes got teary in an instant.

When she came back to her senses again, her body was already limped in a warm and powerful embrace. "It's okay now, it's okay..."

"Is your body still okay? Is there any discomfort? Are you hungry?"

A concerned voice rang in her ears, and she suddenly came to her senses. Lauren first saw Zedd being put on handcuffs, and then being brought to detention. He obviously couldn't handle the incitement and was making a fuss. "I don't agree, I want to appeal! I want to appeal..."

Holding Lauren and watching him being taken away, Willy then coldly snorted. "This is the final judgment of the Supreme Court!"

Did he think he could appeal again?

What wishful thinking!

After meeting with the lawyer, Willy took Lauren out. "Come on, let's have a big meal, let's celebrate!"

He walked out while talking and was about to go to the parking lot. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed over. "You witch, you evil spirit! My son has been ruined by you! I will not let you go! B*tch!"

Responsively hugging Lauren, Willy quickly pulled her away, but still failed to block all the attacks for her. At that moment, the back of his hand that Lauren was clutching onto had a clear red scar on it.

"Why didn't you die in there? Why did you have to go out and harm my son?"

"It's because of a shameless, piss- poor person like you that my precious son has been ruined for a lifetime! You ruined his future, ruined his marriage, and you're going to put him in jail! You're an evil spirit, you should just die!" "Why do you have to bring my son into this?"

"You witch! You penniless girl, your child will be doomed..."

Shouting, Zedd's mother, Margery was obviously out of control, clawing around and trying to get closer. At first, she didn't want to talk to her at all. When she heard that she even cursed her unborn baby, Lauren was suddenly filled with rage. "The reason he's like this today is because of a mother like you who can't tell what's right or wrong, and only spoils him! My baby is very healthy! You should worry about yourself. You're so vicious, you deserve retribution!" "What are you talking about? You're clearly just broke. Don't think that just because you've gotten a man on your hook, you can transform from an ugly duckling into a swan! Even if my son is in jail, you don't even deserve to lick his shoes!" "Stop flattering yourself! Your son is the one who wouldn't have the chance to lick someone's shoes even if he wanted to!"

Seeing the two of them arguing, as if they were close to getting physical, Willy hugged Lauren and was obviously shocked. However, he was also feeling a sense of warmth in his heart.

"Laurie! What's the point of getting angry with an

old hag?"

When Willy spoke, Lauren turned her head quickly, her fierce gaze directly piercing through him. What did he mean? Instead of helping her, was he going to just say those discouraging words?

Her cheek flushed in anger, but Willy raised his hand at the same time, signalling his subordinates to come over. "Make a report!"

His subordinate left, and Willy caressed her sideburns. "Why waste your breath? Sweetheart, if you get so angry and get sick, I'll be sad!"

Sweeping his cold gaze across, his tone also became colder.

"In the future, if you lose even a single hair, the Michaels family shall be responsible for it! Let's see if the Michaels family could outlive that head of hair you have..."

That voice was soft but also sharp like a blade, especially when a police officer came to inquire right then. The woman's expression changed as well. "Stop trying to make yourself seem all high-and-mighty! Who doesn't know how to talk big?"

Before Margery could finish her

speech arrogantly, Edwin stepped

forward and dragged her away. "Are you still not satisfied with the mess that has been created? How far do you want to take this?" "Hubby, hubby, you're here! It is this b*tch Who ruined our son, you have to fight for Zedd's justice!"

She cried and kicked up a fuss, but Edwin's face instantly turned red in anger. He was so furious that his blood pressure nearly surged on the spot. His lips trembled, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

At that moment, a police officer also came over. "Madam, this lady has reported you for intentional injury. According to the law, we will have to get a statement!"

"What? You shameless..."

With a scream, she yelled like a banshee and tried to pull away twice. Finally, Edwin gave her a slap.

"Shut up!"

There was still a mess going on. Meanwhile, after simply signing the document, Willy helped Lauren to get into the car. Before leaving, he looked back at his assistant behind him.

"If she can't control her own mouth, you can teach her what it means to be hurt!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Bowles!"

After that, Willy got into the car, and Lexx left and walked to the side, picking up the phone. That evening in the Casterwich City prison, there was already a sumptuous meal ready to welcome the new arrival!

On the first day, before Zedd could

even get to his bed, he had already started an argument with someone and was beaten to a bad shape.

The

obvious part was that his hand was even trampled on the ground, with scars on it, and because of that, he was unluckily carried another bad

record with him...

It was said that those who are debt-free would feel light-hearted. However, even though Lauren had already gotten rid of her burdens, she was still not as happy as she imagined she would be, and the price she had paid for a nightmare-like experience was too much.

As she was a little tired, she didn't

want to go out. So, Willy set up the celebration banquet at home. She took a shower, and prayed to get rid of her bad luck. In the evening, the two prepared a sumptuous dinner, and Willy prepared red wine. He even specially prepared a pure fruit juice that looked like wine for her, and the two of them drank some.

"Why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Raising his hand, Willy grabbed her little palm on the table and gently touched it. "Is it still painful? Or, was it because of what that b*tch said?" Was she upset?

Slightly shaking her head and looking at her palm that he was holding on the table, Lauren suddenly became a little uncomfortable. Their deal was over!

Without that, everything seemed to have changed. "No! I just feel that there is nothing to be happy about! I didn't lose, but I didn't win either..."

What should be lost had already been lost! Right then, she was nothing but a pathetic person that needed others to take care of!

Picking up a small bite of food, Lauren was full of bitterness. Not wanting to affect him with her gloominess, she raised her gaze. Before a smile could form on her lips, an exquisite gift box was handed to her. "It's a little gift for you, open it and have a look!"

"Right now?"

They were only halfway through the meal. While Lauren was still hesitating, she saw that he had already stood up from his seat.
