Gabriel went out to give the witnesses a call.

Rosie stood up, crossed her arms over her chest, and walked up to Corinne. She then said in a kindand almost–persuasive tone, “Don’t think that you can clear your name just because you managed tohire a big–shot lawyer! How dare you hire someone to hurt Anya? Lucas will never allow you to getaway with it! My advice? Stop trying to resist and just accept the punishment of the law. You might evenbe able to get a lighter sentence if you show a good attitude!”

Corinne looked up, glanced at Rosie, and could not be bothered to entertain the woman’s pointlesstirade.

Rosie was frustrated when Corinne ignored her, and she was extremely unhappy because herprovoking never had the intended effect. It was as if there was never a situation where Corinne wouldlose her composure, and it seemed that nothing was capable of stirring her emotions. Her ever–calmdemeanor made Rosie feel like slapping her out of curiosity to know if she could feel pain.

Beside them, Sunny stared silently at Corinne with a luminous gaze that contained equal partsdisappointment and anger, along with a hodgepodge of other emotions.

Anya, who was nestled in Lucas’s arms, slowly turned her head and said kindly, “Rosie’s right, Corinne.As long as you’re willing to confess your guilt, I can persuade Lucas to sign a letter of leniency and tryto get you a lighter sentence. It’d be best if you can stop making so much of a fuss over this becauseit’ll only make my brother angrier. This won’t do you any good.

Corinne smirked and asked, “Why are you and your best friend so afraid of me making such a bigfuss?”

Anya’s eyes flickered slightly, and she frowned aggrievedly while explaining, “I’m only doing this foryour good, Corinne. I don’t want you making more mistakes in a moment of confusion…”

“Is that so?” Corinne smiled, then closed her eyes without looking at her again.

After seeing his sister’s good intentions misconstrued as malice, Lucas narrowed his handsome eyesin displeasure and said protectively, “I won’t go all out to get you the maximum punishment after yourkindness in helping our old man. Why must you make things worse and end up having to bearconsequences that you can’t afford to bear?”

Corinne yawned. “Gee, thanks for your generosity, but there’s nothing I can’t afford to bear,unfortunately. You can do whatever you want!”

Lucas stared coldly at Corinne’s fearless look and had a complicated expression. ‘Just what kind offamily environment did she grow up in to become so sinister, vicious, and shameless instead of being agentle and well–mannered woman?‘

Rosie glared at Corinne in disgust. “Ignore her, Lucas! She’s just a bumpkin from the countryside. Shemight not be afraid of the consequences right now, but she’ll still cry once she’s convicted! Don’t botherbeing kind to her and signing that letter of leniency for her. She needs to be severely punished if she isto learn how to repent!”

As soon as Rosie finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a seven- or eight–year–old boy ran in toward the gangster Chris.

“Dad!” The little boy wanted to throw himself into his father’s arms, but he could not do so because hisfather was handcuffed and thus unable to spread his arms open.

He was stunned, and he looked at his father in confusion. He could not accept what was happening atall and he immediately asked. “Why are you in handcuffs, Dad? Aren’t bad people the only ones whoare put in handcuffs on those TV shows? Did you do something bad?”

Upon seeing his son, Chris’s psychological mettle collapsed instantly. He lowered his head and said inshame, “I… I didn’t do it on purpose, son…”
