A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 588

The court upheld its decision to hear the case despite efforts from the Valentine's lawyers to annul the charges. Undeniably, it was not Yvette who pushed the deceased. However, if it were not for her actions, this tragedy would not have happened...

Gordon apologized immediately and paid the fine. She was then detained for five days.

Yvette was disgruntled and wanted to object. Firstly, she had not killed anyone; secondly, she committed n o crime. On what basis was she being detained?

Gordon stared at her and had the cops lead her away immediately. She was somewhat responsible for the incident regardless.

It was true that she did not do it. However, should the video be uploaded to the internet, that tiny bit of relevance would be sufficient to disgrace her. By the time this happened, how could she maintain her foothold in Santabaca?

Thus, before the video was uploaded, Gordon felt that Yvette should pay the fine and accept detention as a manner of apology.

Therefore, even if the video were disclosed, nobody would criticize her. Instead, they would sympathize

with her.

When Summer’s lawyer returned with the news, she smirked as she cleaned up the room. Puzzled, the lawyer asked, "You don't seem disappointed this time."

"No, it's what I expected. Yvette had pushed Samantha, but dad was too kind. All he wanted to do was to grab hold of Samantha who was wobbly.

Unfortunately, he lost his footing and fell. If only he had not acted, he would not have fallen."

"Indeed. Logically speaking, the court could have dismissed our accusation. Instead, it handed her that kind of punishment. The outcome is indeed comforting yet at the same time incomprehensible."

Summer gave no further thought but instead gathered up her emotions. She still had school to attend and coursework to prepare.

Initially, she had taken leave because of her unborn child. With the child gone now, she should get back to work; the busier, the better. As long as she kept herself busy, she would not be bothered by those matters.

Mark never appeared before Summer again. Instead, h e watched her and Charlotte without them knowing, until they were out of his sight.
