“After that, Cormac came up with a plan to con Chuck out of the house he had bought for our marriage. Because of this, Chuck’s mother was hospitalized and passed away.”At that point, Samantha was wiping her tears, and so was Joanna.Samantha asked, “Did Cormac pay you?”Laurel shook her head. “No, he didn’t. He promised to give me seven and a half thousand dollars, holding up his end. He gave me quite a sum of money to try and keep me happy but the amount was just the tip of the iceberg compared to what my father needed.“Cormac said he’d pay me another forty-five thousand if I did as he asked, but after I did what he asked and asked him for my payment, he told me to let him have his way with me one more time. Again, I allowed him to do it for the sake of the money.“After that came the incident at the bar. Cormac became interested in a few female students but they refused to play along. They ended up being beaten to death because of how drunk he was and he later pinned it all on

Laurel did not show the same fear that Wallace and Cormac had now that her life might be nearing its end. On the contrary, she was extremely calm.Cormac and Wallace had always assumed an all-powerful mannerism when they were in the presence of weaklings yet they were cowards in the presence of those stronger than them.This was the true portrayal of the way many people lived.On the contrary, this woman was capable of stepping forward and accepting her fate calmly.Often, just one moment could change a person’s entire life and that path would lead them to do regrettable things.***Laurel was taken to the Battle Warrior Department and sent to Criminal Affairs.Adrian decided not to preside over the case and instead handed her over before he left. However, he asked for a favor on Laurel’s behalf before he left out of respect for her deceased father.Afterward, Adrian took Samantha and Joanna to visit Chuck at the hospital. Chuck’s condition had stabilized enough and would be di

When Samantha woke up, she found Adrian sitting on the sofa. He had acquired pen and paper from Juno’s school bag and was writing something.Samantha was puzzled. “Dear, what are you writing?”Adrian smiled at Samantha and said, “I’m writing a letter to Criminal Affairs to appeal on Laurel’s behalf.”Joanna, who had just exited her room, was extremely surprised to hear this. She noticed that this was not the legate’s usual style of dealing with matters. She chuckled and said, “I didn’t expect the great War Legate Draco to be such a sentimental person. I was under the assumption that people like you only cared about evidence.”Adrian said with a smile, “There are times when a person is helpless and their choices trump everything else.”Joanna gave him a thumbs up.Samantha chuckled and said, “There are times when a person’s choices trump everything else indeed. Oh right, Chubbs will be discharged this afternoon. Why don’t we make a reservation at a hotel restaurant to celebrate hi

Chuck was discharged from the hospital that afternoon.On the other hand, Swallowston’s Criminal Affairs would also be announcing the verdict of Laurel’s case at three o’clock.In the afternoon of the same day, Adrian took Chuck to the hearing court. There were already many people seated inside the courtroom.Laurel, dressed in a prisoner's uniform and her hair tied in a ponytail, was escorted into the courtroom by two enforcement team members. Her head was lowered and her messy hair concealed her face in a way that it could not be seen clearly.Laurel sat down with her head lowered. The lawyers took their seats following her arrival. There was also media personnel at the scene.The judge sitting in the main seat announced, “After three hearings, there is a verdict in Laurel's case today.“The court acknowledges Laurel’s intentional fraud of Chuck Wilson’s property and money worth one hundred and seventy thousand dollars which indirectly resulted in the passing of Chuck’s mother.

Adrian and Chuck soon arrived at the Eastway Hotel.As they walked into the private room, a loud bang rang out. Adrian reacted swiftly and pulled out his gun from his waist. However, he did not see any bullet coming toward him. The only thing he saw was a large cloud of confetti falling from the sky.Samantha and Joanna were holding up their confetti poppers with bright smiles on their faces.“What the heck are you doing?” Joanna was instantly furious when she saw the gun in Adrian’s hand.She haughtily walked over and knocked Adrian on the head with her confetti popper as she berated, “You *ss! You thought we were assassins trying to attack you huh? You’ve even pulled out your gun! How over-cautious are you?”Adrian giggled and put away his gun.Samantha was extremely surprised because she had not expected him to react so quickly. She rolled her eyes. “Adrian, how could you carry something so dangerous on you? What if you misfire and hurt someone?”Adrian shrugged. “I reacted i

Of course, Reiss had heard what Joanna said. However, she made no comment on it to avoid awkwardness.Samantha cracked a flattering smile and said, “You’re here, Ms. Reiss.”Samantha and Reiss were not well acquainted with each other, after all, and thus she addressed Reiss in a polite manner. It was the way she greeted a stranger.Reiss nodded silently in reply.“Take a seat, everyone. The food will be served shortly.” Noticing that the ambiance was getting slightly awkward, Rue hastily came to mediate. At the same time, she glared at Joanna and reprimanded softly, “Stop spouting nonsense!”Joanna pursed her lips and said, “How would I know she’d be here so soon…”However, it was not a big issue because it was apparent that Reiss was not planning on making a fuss out of it.These people sat around the table. The food was soon served and everyone began to eat. Chuck suddenly noticed Juno sitting next to Rue and could not refrain from asking, “By the way, Mdm. Rue. Who’s this lit

The group began drinking.They enjoyed themselves a little too much because they were in a good mood. Even Samantha’s face flushed from drinking so much.Joanna asked her, “Oh, Sam, aren’t you planning to conceive? I heard that one shouldn’t drink when trying to conceive. Why are you drinking then?”Samantha was startled. “I forgot about that!”Joanna was rendered speechless. “Oh well. Your preparation is rendered useless now that you’ve drunk. In that case, just drink to your heart’s content!”They began drinking again.Perhaps Joanna was in a good mood or was affected by her difficult past so she drank so much that she was drunk. Samantha fared a little better. Even though she was tipsy, she was still composed.And it was apparent that Reiss could hold her alcohol well so she was fine. On the other hand, Chuck did not drink much because he was still recovering.Joanna was drunk so she had already begun to indulge in nonsensical talk. Samantha canceled the karaoke session that

Rue left for grocery shopping the next morning.All of a sudden, a loud shriek reverberated through the villa. It was apparent that the shriek came from Joanna’s room.Samantha was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when she was startled by the shriek. She hastily ran to Joanna’s room.“What happened, Jojo?” Samantha asked anxiously.Joanna’s eyes were wide in disbelief while Samantha was left puzzled.Adrian walked into the room with a towel and said, “Will you please stop scaring people first thing in the morning? What the heck is wrong with you?”Joanna got up from the bed, grabbed her pillow, and swung it ferociously at Adrian. “You still have the nerve to talk to me?! Was it you?!”Adrian chuckled and said, “You were in trouble and I couldn’t just ignore you, right?”“Gahhh!” Joanna was so furious that she went berserk upon hearing Adrian’s words. At the thought of last night’s situation, she felt her face burn with shame.Samantha figured out the situation and said, “Adr
