Wilson didn’t like romance novels. He was reading the book because of Clara. He had even brought the book to the company and read it during working hours. The female and male lead had fallen in love at first sight. An accident happened after a few months of being together. The female lead became a murder suspect, and the male lead did everything he could to clear her suspicions. However, almost everyone advised him not to beat the air. Someone had even hinted to him that a big shot had sacrificed the female lead as the scapegoat for his daughter. The male lead didn't hesitate to seek justice and told the people around him “I could see myself beside her for a lifetime even if we only just started dating each other.”. He was able to hand over the evidence that he had collected to the police. The police arrested the real murderer, and the female lead was acquitted. What the male lead did angered the big-shot, and he was knocked into a vegetative state by a car. Then, the female
While they were having dinner, Clara couldn’t help but ask, “Is my… novel with you?” “Do you mean the book ‘Loving You For A Lifetime’?”“Mhm.” Clara was surprised that Wilson was familiar with the title. “Yes, I took it,” Wilson said. “I’m surprised that you’re into this genre again. I remember that you used to like romance novels when we were in love.” Clara felt embarrassed again. She didn’t expect him to take the book away. “I read that just to pass the time. After all, I have to stay away from electronic devices as I’m pregnant.” “Do you think it’s a good book?” Wilson asked abruptly. “I guess so.” The book was one of the best sellers, and it was physically published. “But don’t you think that the two of them were wasting each other’s time? She stayed with the male lead who was in a vegetative state for twenty years, and she wasted twenty years of her youth. At the end of the day, they could only spend the second half of their life together.” Wilson continued to ram
“Did you inform Wilson about it?” Serenity asked. She didn’t want Queenie to catch on to their plan on that day.“Yes. He promised to cooperate,” Clara said. “Great. I’ll do the rest. You guys just act natural.” “Alright.” Once the court verdict was out in three days, Clara should know Summer's whereabouts.She had to find Summer no matter what. In the evening, Clara told Wilson, “Serenity said that Queenie is going to court in three days. You…” “I know. I will do as I promised,” Wilson said. Clara was relieved to hear that. Then, Wilson looked at her. “You care so much about Summer. Was it because she once helped you in jail?” “Mhm. There aren’t a lot of people who will help you when you’re in a desperate situation.” “So, you can endure humiliation for Summer’s sake? You can even beg me without any dignity for her?” Clara lowered her gaze and said, “Summer saved Yanny and I.” “If I had helped you find out the truth and didn’t let you get wrongly convicted, wou
“Why would you want to defend me?” Queenie had asked Serenity when they first met. “Because Clara wants to find out the whereabouts of a friend, and you will tell her everything you know on the condition that you’ll be released from prison on probation.” Serenity didn’t beat around the bush. “You’re helping her because of this? A lawyer like you shouldn’t be involving yourself in this for money, right?” Queenie was sarcastic.“I’m only doing this for my friend.” “You’re the most powerful woman in the Valor family. Many people would want to suck up to you in Solaria. People like Clara are unworthy to be your friend. She’s just a tiny store owner! Don’t you feel ashamed befriending someone like her?” Queenie questioned. “You won’t make any friends with that attitude. Clara gave me a hand when I was down and out. Why would I dislike her if she hadn’t been disgusted by me from the beginning? Queenie, you didn’t want Clara to be your friend, but she remembered your kindness anyway.
It was just a play to confuse them. Many preparations were made to prevent Queenie and Martin from discovering the truth. No one could have done it in Solaria. It wasn’t easy for Jackson to be able to pull it through either. “I'm doing this because Serenity hopes that no one can get away with it after breaking the law.” Jackson smirked and continued, “Let’s sit down and watch, it’ll be over soon.” It didn't take long for the judge to pass the sentence.Martin was sentenced to life imprisonment, while Queenie was sentenced to three years of probation. Queenie smiled with satisfaction when the judge concluded the case. Martin was in disbelief and shouted, “No way! Why did she get probation?! She’s the mastermind behind this!” No one listened to him. Soon, Serenity came to the room and told Clara, “You’ll be meeting Queenie in a while. Ask her where Summer is.” “Thank you, Serenity!” “No problem. She’ll return to the detention house after she reveals Summer's whereabout
“I swear I know where Summer is. What I can offer is to text you guys her whereabouts before the plane takes off. I believe that the Valors can stop the plane from flying if I keep quiet about it,” Queenie said.Serenity stared at Queenie and pondered momentarily. “Well, then. I hope you won't go back on your word.” “Sure.” Queenie smiled. 30 million dollars were soon transferred into Queenie's account, and a flight was prepared for her. Although she couldn’t leave the city during her probation period, the Valors helped her to pull the strings. In the airport, Queenie kept looking at her phone while enjoying Serenity and Clara's escort. Before boarding the plane, Queenie smirked at Clara. “Summer probably didn't think that there were still people who were going to save her from hell. You’re so kind, Clara. I’m safe and sound thanks to Summer. I can even enjoy my time abroad.” After saying that, Queenie exited the ticket gate. “Don’t worry. She’ll get nothing in the end,” S
She was still in Solaria Airport. She looked around, and the bright wordings “Welcome to Solaria” caught her eyes. ‘I’m still… in Solaria? The plane took off and landed back in Solaria. What the hell is going on?! That was clearly a flight ticket abroad. What’s wrong? Why are the other passengers so calm?!’ Her mind raced. Queenie’s eyes widened when she saw a police car approaching. She went limp and her expression changed when she realized what was going on. Soon, the police officers walked up to her. “You’re under arrest, Queenie Yale. Come with us!” “I… I haven't committed anything, I've been put on probation by the court! Besides, I didn't leave the country, you have no reason to arrest me!” Queenie wailed. The two police officers handcuffed her quickly without listening to her explanation. “Let me go! How could you abuse your powers and arrest people at will?! I want to file a complaint! I want to expose you guys to the media! Why are you arresting me?! I’m not a cr
Queenie couldn’t care less anymore. She went out of her way and shouted at the passengers on the same flight. “The police are abusing their powers! They are arresting me without any reason!” She wanted to use the public opinion to save herself. However, the passengers weren't bothered about her except for a few who looked her way. No one came up or recorded what was happening with their phones. “It’s no use doing that, Queenie. Everything is staged. These passengers are all actors. They boarded the plane with you to trick you into thinking that you’re flying abroad.” Serenity's words clear up Queenie’s doubts. “Actors?!” Queenie was stunned. “Yeah. The trial was also an act. Your trial is in a month. So, you’re still a suspect.” Queenie couldn’t comprehend what was happening for a moment. ‘Everything was an act? My probation was a lie? I still have to wait for another month for my real trial?!’ She realized that she wouldn’t be sentenced to probation in her real trial
