My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1363

Lucy took over the follow-up matters involving the Yard twins. Sure enough, it was just as Sophia had expected—they were released from custody. In the end, Bethany, Tawny, and the employees of the hotel were charged with the crime of intentionally causing harm to others. Bethany was deemed the mastermind behind the incident while Tawny and the employees of the hotel were accomplices. Consequently, Bethany was given a suspended death sentence, and the rest were sentenced to prison.

Meanwhile, the Yard twins were treated as foreigners since they were not naturalized. Not only were they backed by a powerful force, but their lawyers were also very good at their jobs. In the end, both of them were diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. They were deported and extradited back to their home country. Their case would be heard in their home country.

Ronney City was their territory. As they were diagnosed as mentally ill, the death penalty was quickly rescinded. It was equivalent to letting everything go back to how it was before—nothing happened to them whatsoever. The Fletcher Family could only watch as they escaped without a scratch because the other party was too powerful. It wasn’t a simple murder case. Rather, it was a power struggle between two families. It was clear that the authorities did not want the situation to escalate further. Besides, the Yard Family lost many people. Hence, they decided to let this incident slide.

When Maddie heard the news, she was so furious that she cried all night. At present, Christine was still lying in the nursing home. Although her life was no longer in danger, she had a long road ahead of her before she could fully recover. Even so, the real culprit behind the incident was at large! “No! We can’t let those two b*stards get away with this!”

Joel seemed to have known that things would turn out in this manner. Accepting the fact that the Yard twins were beyond the reach of the law, he sought compensation of 100 million for Christine’s follow-up treatment and rehabilitation costs. Lucy came over to settle the matter and added a detached villa in Bayside City on top of the 100 million.

Later, Christine learned that even the Fletcher Family could do nothing to the other party. Moreover, she might end up in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Thus, she couldn’t help feeling that she was a burden on everybody. The Fletcher Family had already spent millions on her, and she did not want to drag them down anymore. Therefore, she reluctantly accepted the compensation from the other party.

Finally, the focus of the public was turned toward the headline news of ‘Popular A-List Female Celebrity Receive a Suspended Death Sentence for Murder’.

With that, the matter came to an end. Afterward, the Ronney Group’s Cethosian branch announced that it was completely pulling out of the Cethosian market. It sold all its assets and withdrew from Bayside City. The Fletcher Family was humiliated, and the Yard Family completely withdrew from Cethos. All in all, Lucy handled this matter beautifully. She received Jordan’s trust and simultaneously drove the Yard Family out of Cethos. She could be said to be the biggest winner among them.

Stanley no longer needed to come and visit Christine every day. Even so, he dropped by after work every single day to visit her and eat dinner with her, diligently trying to adapt to his status as her husband. The Fletcher Family was starting to prepare for the wedding. Meanwhile, he found a new house and prepared to renovate it into their marital home.

Since he decided to get married, he had to be a responsible husband. However, he was not happy. He was not the slightest bit happy; he felt burdened instead. It felt like a huge rock was weighing down on his heart and crushing him.

Ever since Sean moved out, he felt as if something was wrong. Even when he saw Sean at the company, he felt as if there was an invisible river flowing between them, drawing a line between them and blocking them from each other. Even when they brought Maisie out to play together during the weekends, it was no longer like how it was before. Nonetheless, he understood that some things were utterly different now, and it would never be the same again.

“Stan!” Christine called out to Stanley suddenly. Only then did Stanley come back to his senses and realize that he had been sitting by her bedside blankly.
