When the judge read out the verdict, Valerie immediately said, "I don't accept it! I want to appeal! I
didn't do anything. I didn't do it!"
She pounded the railings with all her might as she shouted.
"Yes, we want to appeal!" Amelia started to cry when she saw her daughter like this. "Valerie has been
sensible ever since she was a child. She has never done such a thing. It's Skylar who set us up."
"Alright!" Hector, who had been silently standing next to her, finally spoke up. "Now that you have been
sentenced, you should change your ways and strive to reduce your sentence so you can come out
earlier."
When Amelia heard Hector's words, she gave him a hard push as she cried. "Why did you say that?
I've done everything so far. You didn't care about anything. Now that our daughter has been sentenced,
why did you still say that?"
"Dad, please save me. I don't want to go to jail. Please hire the best lawyer for me. I don't want to goto
jail."
Valerie was crying so hard that she could not make a sound.
"Who's the one to blame here? Isn't this the result of your love? I asked Valerie to turn herself in when
this happened years ago. What did you guys say? You said that if Valerie turned herself in, it would ruin
her future!"
Hector looked at Amelia with dissatisfaction written all over his face.
When the accident had happened, Hector's first reaction was to ask Valerie to turn herself in. At that
time, he had thought that she should turn herself in first, and then he would find someone to let her off
on probation, so that she didn't have to go to jail.
"Are you blaming me? How can you blame me? She's OUR daughter! How could you let your own
daughter go to jail!"
Amelia shook his shoulders again and again, her tears streaming continuously down her face.
She didn't care about her image at all.
Seeing that they were making a commotion, the judges had already left.
Other people in the detention center also shouted out, "If you want to cry or quarrel, go home. This is Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
the detention center!"
"Alright, let's go."
When Hector heard those words, he knew that there was nothing he could do to fix things. He turned
around to leave.
Amelia grabbed onto him tightly. "If you don't say that you're going to save your daughter today, I'll
divorce you!"
"Divorce?" Hearing this, Hector turned to look at Amelia. "What? Are you going to get together with
your handsome little lawyer after we divorce?"
In actuality, Hector had long known of Yoel's existence and had also sent someone to investigate his
background.
The social circle was so small that Hector easily found out about Yoel's past.
Upon hearing Hector's words, Amelia's face immediately paled. "What are you talking about? I looked
for Yoel because no one else was willing to take up this case. There was nothing else I could do!"
"Really? But you've given him a total of 2 million dollars before and after, and you even gave him
500,000 dollars after losing. I don't believe that there's no better lawyer who would be willing to help
you at this price."
Hector stared straight at Amelia, clearly seeing through her act.
Hector had kept quiet about this because of Valerie's case, but he hadn't expected that Amelia would
suggest a divorce now.
"I..." Amelia staggered back as she stuttered. "I don't know the average rate of lawyer fees. I have
never been engaged in a lawsuit. If you think it's too much, I'll ask for it back."
It was because of Yoel's good acting that Amelia had indeed paid him more than the usual rates.
Amelia herself was also well aware of the reasons within.
However, she really didn't capture any benefits from Yoel at all.
"That's enough. I can't help Valerie this time, she'll just have to reflect on herself in jail. If you want a
divorce, I'll hand you the documents tomorrow."
After saying that, Hector immediately turned around and walked away.
Valerie was dumbfounded. She had gone to jail and her father not only did not care about it, but her
father was willing to divorce her mother.
Amelia stood there, and as she remembered that she was in the detention center, she quickly wiped
her tears away and said to Valerie, "Valerie, don't be afraid. I will definitely save you. I won't let you stay
in there for too long."
After she finished, she hurried to chase after Hector.
Amelia was not stupid. Although nothing serious had happened between her and Yoel, Hector would
definitely be able to divorce her without leaving her any money.
She had always been a housewife, so she did not have any other abilities. If he just left like that, she
might not be able to support herself at all.
"Honey!" When Amelia came out, she saw that Hector was ready to get into the car. She immediately
followed him and sat in the back seat.
"Tell me, how much did you give the lawyer?"
When Amelia got into the car, Hector immediately asked.
"What... I just gave him the lawyer fees. If you don't think it's appropriate, I'll take it back. Anyway, the
lawsuit failed and I have reason to ask for it."
Amelia, who was sitting in the back, explained nervously.
She knew that although a good-for-nothing like Yoel could win her heart, it was more important for her
to live a stable life.
"There's no need. Tell him to come see me."
"Why?"
Amelia felt a little bit guilty when she heard that Hector was about to meet Yoel.
In reality, Amelia had also checked up on Yoel and found that he was a fake lawyer. She was afraid that
Hector would suspect that something was going on between her and Yoel.
"Tell him to come to my office tomorrow morning."
Hector did not answer Amelia's question, but instead voiced out his request.
When they arrived at the gate of the Rae Group, Hector still didn't say a word.
The next morning, Yoel received word from Amelia. He had no choice but to go to the Rae Group to
meet Hector.
Although he was unwilling and short-handed, he was not willing to give back the money.
Yoel was dressed in a black suit that day and wore a pair of optical glasses, which concealed the
charisma of his charming face.
Along the way, from the front desk reception, all the way to high-ranking officers, everyone turned to
look at him. Some even went up to ask for his phone number.
"Knock, knock."
Yoel arrived at the entrance of Hector's office and lightly knocked on the door twice.
"Mr. Jakeman, President Rae is in a meeting. Please go to the living room and wait for a moment."
As soon as Yoel knocked on the door, Hector's secretary came over to point him to the living room.
"Okay, thank you."
When the secretary said that Hector was not around, Yoel followed the secretary's direction into the
living room.
However... The moment he entered, he heard a "click-clack"!
The door had been locked!
Yoel instantly felt that something was amiss! However, this room was more than twenty storeys high
and there was a hundred meter tall building outside the window. If he jumped down like this, he would
surely die!
The door was the only way out!
"Bang, bang!"
Yoel slammed his hands down the door desperately and shouted out, "Is anyone there?"
No one answered from outside.
Not long after, through the stained glass door, Yoel saw a blur of black outside the door. There were
three or four silhouettes outside!
Yoel seemed to have understood something. After all, he was quite experienced when it came to things
like this.
Most men could not bear to see their wives cheat. Some incapable men would beat their wives, while
some...
Would beat the gigolo!
