When Paige and Hailey saw Dennis Hale in handcuffs, they held their breath, and their eyes unknowingly welled up with tears.
After half a month without seeing him, their father had lost a lot of weight, and his hair had more strands of silver.
This pained them deeply, yet they felt powerless.
Finn Morgan glanced at the girl beside him, reached out to hold her shoulder, offering her a silent comfort.
The courtroom was solemn and dignified.
When the presiding judge presented the evidence and announced the life sentence verdict, it was the outco everyone had anticipated.
But it was only upon the announcent that everyone truly breathed a sigh of relief, as there was still life to be lived.
"If Dad behaves well in prison, can his sentence be reduced?" Hailey Hale was most concerned about this issue, not quite understanding legal matters.
Finn Morgan assured her, "Yes, if our dad can make so contributions in prison, there will certainly be a chance for change. Our country’s law is still quite forgiving."
"Those deaths were related to Lydia Ingram, dad was only aware of them, I believe he didn’t participate." Hailey turned to ask, "Did you read all the files? Our dad isn’t that kind of person, right?"
Finn tightened his grip on her shoulder, "Hailey, the truth of these things is sothing only he knows in his heart. It doesn’t matter anymore."
A flash of sadness crossed the girl’s eyes, the father she admired most had his image collapse.
Finn told everyone, "The most important thing now is for everyone to stay strong and resilient, and get life back on track."
Sister May peered out the window, worriedly saying, "There are still so persistent journalists outside."
"It doesn’t matter." Paige had figured it out, "We don’t need to hide like a turtle, we just answer questions openly and honestly."
"Alright, I’m going to work tomorrow!" Hailey Hale said resolutely, "I will face it all, and won’t hide like a turtle!"
Finn was very relieved, "Good." He gently patted her head, and expressed, "I will always be with you, leave it to ti. Although the internet has mory, trending topics change quickly."
Then they hoped Sister May could take good care of their mother.
And Paige also expressed that she will definitely adjust her mindset, and stay peacefully at ho awaiting Nathan Garcia’s sentence reduction, even if it takes ten or twenty years.
She will not be pessimistic, nor will she contemplate doing anything foolish.
Thus, the family was about to start a new life.
By evening, the last rays of sunset had vanished, leaving the city brightly lit.
At Erald Cove, the evening breeze was slightly cool.
The beautiful mansion was brightly lit, with a limited edition Lamborghini parked in the yard.
This was Gigi and Dolly’s first night and first dinner after leaving the country.
In the dining room, the entire house was bright, with a variety of dishes, yet it was sowhat lacking in liveliness.
"After this busy period, shall we go see the children, alright?" Justin Kingston could understand her mood, and he proactively suggested.
Mia Lane looked up, her mind previously filled with thoughts about David Dalton, "Alright."
Then, there was a brief silence.
Actually, Mia Lane really wanted to ask him if David Dalton had t him, and whether Justin had looked for him afterward.
What did David Dalton want from him?
Was the company in trouble? Was Justin the only one with the capability to help him solve it?
Mia couldn’t help but worry.
After dinner.
Justin held Mia’s hand, leading her to the terrace on the second floor, where they sat in the wicker chairs.
The wind tonight was a bit cool, brushing gently across their faces, bringing a sense of refreshing ease.
Warmly toned lights enveloped them.
Mia had a hint of doubt, "Is there sothing you want to tell ?"
Justin leaned forward, gently placing her part of the Jade Pendant onto the table, and directly asked, "Honey, have you ever considered looking for your birth family?"
