Chapter 21

Robert trembled as he spoke. "You ungrateful daughter! Throwing your own father out of the house! Don’t you fear karma coming back to haunt you?" Yara frowned. “Are you cursing me?” Startled, Robert fell silent, unable to respond. Yara smirked mockingly. "If a lowlife like you, who betrayed his own wife and daughter, hasn’t been hit by karma, why would I have anything to worry about?"With that, she turned and walked away. As she passed the bodyguards, she stopped and issued a cold command. “Give them three minutes. If they refuse to leave, throw them out and make sure they’re far from the gate. I don’t like trash piling up at my doorstep.” Yara returned to her room. Her thoughts wandered to Herman. At the gala tonight, when the woman handed her a drink, Herman took it instead, downing it in one go without hesitation. He was probably suffering the consequences by now. She stood up, intending to take a shower, when her phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she was surpri

The judge’s gavel came down, marking the end of the final hearing. Yara sat back in her chair, letting out a long breath of relief. The lawyer turned to her with a smile. “Ms. Cullen, we won. A complete victory.” Yara nodded in gratitude. “Thank you for all your hard work during this time.” Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the defendant’s table. Westley sat there, slumped in defeat. He had cheated on her multiple times during their marriage, even engaging in an improper relationship with Elena. The Cullen family’s household staff had testified against him. In an attempt to discredit Yara, he hired someone to drug her, intending to film an explicit video. The evidence was overwhelming. Each crime and misdeed was laid bare before the court. Their divorce was a foregone conclusion, and Westley would also face the legal consequences of his actions. Robert was sentenced to five years, and Westley got seven.Yara stepped out of the courthouse, greeted by t

Chapter 23

The defendant in the Crestwood Estate case, Leo, had turned himself in to the police. The television screen showed him being surrounded by reporters and media at the entrance of the police station. “Mr. Harrington, you previously testified in court that the plaintiff was involved in prostitution and fabricated the allegations out of spite. Why are you suddenly changing your story after more than a year?” “Mr. Harrington, does your decision to turn yourself in have anything to do with your company’s financial troubles?” No matter how persistently the reporters pressed him, Leo kept his head down, walking forward in silence. Yara found the whole situation highly unusual. Leo was a shrewd businessman, a master at weighing risks and rewards, and a man who had always operated outside the law. After narrowly escaping conviction, why would he suddenly turn himself in a year later, without any apparent reason? She wasn’t naïve. It didn’t take much to guess that Herman had somet

Even Yara herself had no idea such a photo existed. Yet here it was, in Herman’s study, carefully preserved for all these years. Standing before the bookshelf, photo in hand, Yara stared at it, lost in thought for a long time. …In the prison visitation room, the iron door creaked open as Herman walked in with a guard. On the other side of the table, Westley sat with handcuffs on. At the sound of footsteps, he looked up. The two men locked eyes for a moment. Herman sat down across from him. Westley’s expression was blank as he spoke. “Why did you want to see me? What’s this about?” Herman got straight to the point. “A little over a year ago, Yara was convicted of perjury. You know exactly why.” Westley let out a cold laugh. “What? You planning to fight for her justice?” Herman’s tone remained calm. “After everything you’ve done to her, you’ve never thought about making amends?” Westley’s smirk disappeared. He leaned forward, his sharp gaze locking onto Herman lik

Chapter 25

She hadn’t just salvaged his dignity—she had rewritten his entire life. She lifted him from the mud where everyone trampled on him and turned him into someone admired and respected by all. And what had he done in return? He shattered the very light that illuminated his life. Succumbing to Elena’s cheap seductions, he lost all sense of morality, gradually becoming someone he no longer recognized. Yara was still the same Yara she had been back in their university days. But he was no longer the Westley of those years. A bitter laugh escaped his lips. As he laughed, tears began to fall. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had cried. It turned out his heart could still feel, still ache at the sound of Yara’s name.The next morning, Yara received a phone call. It was from the police. “Ms. Cullen, this is the police department. Westley Langston, an inmate at the prison, has confessed to tampering with evidence in the Crestwood Estate case years ago. “If his conf

A month later, the Crestwood Estate case was retried. With billionaire Leo Harrington turning himself in and Westley admitting to destroying evidence, the case became crystal clear. The victim from years ago finally had their name cleared. At the same time, Yara’s perjury conviction, stemming from the same case, was officially overturned. As Yara walked out of the courthouse, a swarm of reporters rushed forward. “Ms. Cullen, now that your license has been reinstated, will you continue practicing law?” “After everything that’s happened, do you have any concerns about staying in this field, given its risks?” “Is there anything you’d like to say to your fellow attorneys?” Yara paused and turned toward the cameras. “If you’d asked me this question six months ago, when I had just been released, I might have hesitated. But now, I wouldn’t. I will continue to practice law. No matter what lies ahead, fortune or disaster, I am determined to stay on this path.” One of the rep

Chapter 27

Yara suddenly asked, “Herman, did I look awful when I was crying just now?” Herman’s tone was calm. “Not as good as you usually look.” She fell silent for a long moment after he spoke, and it made him uneasy. “What’s wrong?” “Herman, you really don’t know how to talk, let alone comfort a woman. No wonder you can’t find a girlfriend.” “I admit I’m not good at comforting people, but have you ever thought that maybe I don’t want a girlfriend?” “Do you want a boyfriend then?” “Yara…” “I’m kidding.” The driver opened the car door for them. Yara got in first, followed by Herman. As the car moved down the road, the cabin was unusually quiet. Herman cleared his throat. “Yara, there’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you for a while now.” Yara feigned ignorance. “Oh? What is it?” He hesitated for a few seconds before speaking. “Actually, Yara, I’ve felt this way for a long time…” Before he could finish, Yara suddenly turned to him. "Herman, let me ask you a few
