Chapter 2521

Author: Anastasia Marie
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

    Joyce swore to make the Scotts and Harry pay one day! However, what she had to do now was to leave before Harry realized that her blood couldn't save Hayden. Joyce started packing her luggage. The following afternoon, Joyce headed toward the airport. She had already bought a ticket to go abroad. She would be completely safe by the time she arrived there. Harry couldn’t threaten her anymore even if he found out something was wrong. Meanwhile, the doctor was talking to Harry about Hayden’s exchange transfusion results. “It was not as successful as we had imagined. The results of the previous transfusion were even better. It shouldn’t be like that since the donor is Hayden’s mother,” the doctor analyzed.“The previous results were better?” Harry narrowed his eyes. “Yes. The results now are the same as the first transfusion. We will carry out further research to see where exactly it went wrong.” “How long will that take?” Harry was anxious as Hayden’s condition couldn’t wait any lo

    Nathan’s death had been ruled as an accident back then. “Did you get the wrong person? How could I have anything to do with Nathan's death?! I want my lawyer. I’m going to sue you guys for abusing your power!” Joyce exclaimed. “You can contact your lawyer when we get back to the police station. Also, we wouldn’t have apprehended you if we didn't have enough evidence,” the police officer said. Joyce was startled. She wondered what kind of evidence the police had at the moment. Harry’s man hurriedly called Harry when he saw Joyce being taken away. “Mr. Scott, the police apprehended Mrs. Scott. I vaguely heard Nathan’s name. It seems that Mrs. Scott was involved in that car accident back then.” The car accident had been the talk of the town. Harry’s eyes widened. “What? She was arrested because she was involved in Nathan’s car accident?” “It seems so. I was a bit far away and didn't hear too clearly.” After the call ended, Harry closed his eyes and pondered momentarily. Then, he

    Harry’s expression darkened. “You’re not satisfied that Joyce was acquitted and you’re trying to frame her, right? The police ruled the car crash as an accident back then. Joyce is still part of the Scott family. Do you know that you will affect our reputation by fooling around?” “Up until now, all you care about is your family’s reputation?” Summer asked. She was a little disappointed, but she should have known Harry better. “I’m asking you for the last time, do you have to stir up trouble again? You wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if you drag the Scotts into this.” Harry warned.“It doesn’t matter. I have nothing to lose. You can take my life if you want!” Summer retorted. “What about you? Nathan and you were friends, but he ended up dying for no reason. Yet now, you’re stopping others from finding out the truth about his death. Is that how you treat your friend, Harry?” “Nathan was not my friend! If he was my friend, he wouldn’t have hooked up with you behind my back i

    “……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

    Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me!

    "Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

    Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

    "Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

    Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

    But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

    Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

    "Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?"
