After all these years, Gary had used the dirty money to build up a business instead of seeking justice for Jasmine's death. Would he give up his fortune and go through the trouble for his sister who had passed away so many years ago? Summer’s heart sank. Just then, she noticed a shadow behind her from the reflection of the glass in front of her. She recognized that it was one of Harry's men. Summer turned around only to find patients and their family members as well as medical staff behind her. The person was nowhere to be found.She realized that he was spying on her,She wondered why Harry had sent someone to follow her. A chill ran down her spine. If she had entered Gary’s ward and talked to him, Harry would have known that she had come to the hospital to visit Gary. Harry might even bribe Gary as he had done to the doctors. Thus, Summer pretended to search for someone in other wards. Finally, she went to the receptionist. She simply made up the name of a patient and asked abou
As the day of the trial approached, the news media in Lanford were reporting the relevant content all day long. A lot of the articles were trending online, becoming the talk of the town.Summer’s relationship with Nathan and Harry was brought up again. People were commenting about being sorry for Nathan, about Harry’s wife and ex-girlfriend being involved in the same lawsuit, and about their messy relationship. Some people sympathized with Summer, hoping that she could seek justice for herself. Some blamed everything on Summer, saying that she had seduced Nathan even though she had a fiancee. She deserved to be locked up in the psychiatric hospital. Summer didn’t take those comments to heart. She wasn’t bothered about it after going through so many things. She only wanted to make Joyce pay for her actions now. Not only for sending Summer to the psychiatric hospital but also for killing Nathan. It was a pity for Nathan to be murdered by Joyce. “Nathan, I will seek justice for you
As for Summer’s injuries, Donald and Lana insisted that Summer had hurt herself when she was having a psychotic episode. Joyce denied knowing all of that, and she had always thought that Summer was sick. She testified that Summer’s behavior in the psychiatric hospital was like a mentally ill person when she visited her every time. Liam had predicted that this case was hard to win. Even though there was evidence to prove that the Hopes had bribed the doctors and Summer was abused, Joyce was clean of everything.The trial went on for three days.On the third day, the judge sentenced Donald and Lana to three years in prison, and Joyce was acquitted in court. Joyce smiled smugly when she heard that she was not guilty. Harry had made it for her. She was still the winner no matter what she did. Liam consoled Summer. “At least two of them are convicted now. As for Joyce, we can still prosecute her again if we find new evidence in the future.” Summer nodded. She knew that Harry had eve
After a pause, Joyce added, “Actually, I kept blaming myself that I didn’t find out everything that Summer had gone through earlier. If she was willing to trust me and tell me the truth, maybe I would be able to save her earlier. I hope that Summer will be able to trust me and get close to me after everything is over. We will always be sisters.” She said that so sincerely that people would think that she cared a lot for Summer. Harry was tired of Joyce’s acting, and he asked the bodyguards to block the reporters before getting into the car. As soon as they were in the car, Harry said with a straight face, “I’ve done everything that you asked for. We’re going to the hospital for you to do a body checkup to prepare for Hayden’s blood transfusion.” Joyce’s expression changed. “Did you get me out just for Hayden? You don’t have any feelings for me at all?” “Did you think that I would still have any feelings for you after everything that you have done? You harmed your sister and used y
Harry rubbed his temples in the car. He was exhausted by the recent events. He felt sorry for Summer, but he had to help Joyce for Hayden. ‘Wait, why should I feel sorry for her? She betrayed me in the first place,’ Harry told himself. When he reached home, his parents greeted him and asked, “How is it? Is Joyce willing to go through the transfusion for Hayden?” “She’s already doing a checkup in the hospital. I had a hundred ways for her to do it even if she didn’t want to.” Michelle was relieved when she heard that. She couldn’t help but nag, “Joyce is not qualified to be a mother. How could she use her son to get something she wants? You should divorce her once Hayden gets well. A person like her is not worthy to marry into the Scotts.” Harry’s father, Noah Scott, agreed with his wife. He was uncomfortable to see Joyce as his daughter-in-law. It was dangerous to be involved with people who were vicious like the Hopes. It would be nice to cut off ties with them. Hayden wouldn’t
Harry was heartbroken. He felt a throbbing pain with every heartbeat. -Serenity called and consoled Summer after she found out about the verdict. However, Summer wasn’t upset. “Joyce won’t get off the hook. I’m going to make sure she's punished by the law,” she said confidently. “There’s progress with the car accident case?” Serenity guessed. Summer had mentioned that Joyce was involved in it. “Mhm, a little. The Gerholds have sent someone to keep an eye on Joyce. She won’t escape easily.” “Great!” Serenity didn’t want Joyce to get away with it either. “By the way, how are you doing now? How's the baby? Is everything okay?” Summer asked.“Yeah. I just need to rest more,” Serenity said. “That’s good. I’ll visit you in Solaria once I’m done with Joyce.” “Sure.” When the call ended, Serenity gently stroked her belly. She hadn’t told Summer the full truth. Everything about her pregnancy depended on the placenta growth of the fetus. She might have a miscarriage if the situation is
Although Clara didn’t say anything, Serenity could tell that she missed Wilson. “As far as I know, he’s in Latveria, resting in a villa in the suburbs. He handed his work over to his subordinates. He only had to be involved in some major decisions that would affect the company,” Jackson said. “Is he really planning to cut off ties with Clare?” “I think so. Still, there might be a chance if Clara really wants to get back together with him. Since Wilson was willing to donate his liver to Clara again, he might still get back together with her if he knows that she loves him.” “I wonder if Clara will take the first step.” Serenity sighed. If it wasn’t for the doctor saying that Clara's current physical condition couldn’t handle an emotional rollercoaster, Serenity would have already told Clara about what Wilson had done for her.In the Birch’s villa in Latveria. A lawyer handed a drafted divorce agreement to Wilson. “Mr. Birch, this is what I’ve drafted according to your request. Plea
After Joyce had made up her mind, she began to transfer the funds in her hands and also sold some of her shares.She didn't dare to sell all of them, fearing it would arouse Harry's suspicion. She sold an amount enough for her to maintain a wealthy lifestyle. On the day of the blood exchange transfusion, Hayden lay weakly on the hospital bed. “Mommy, I miss you! Why didn’t you visit me for so long?” Joyce was disgusted by Hayden. He resembled Summer more as he grew up. Still, she had to act like she missed him. “I’m here now. Don’t worry, Hayden. I will save you.” Harry looked at Joyce coldly and said to Hayden, “Have a good sleep. You’ll be all better when you wake up.” Hayden nodded and obediently closed his eyes.Harry turned to the medical staff and instructed them to start the exchange transfusion. Joyce was on another bed as she watched as the nurse stuck the needle in her arm. Her blood was slowly going into Hayden’s body. The only thing that could save Hayden was his b
