In the hospital.
After Amos got released, the first thing he did was to call Harley.
At the same time, Heinz's story was published in the newspapers.
Monica had indeed committed suicide, but she had fought with Heinz before her death. Although he had not killed her directly, he had become part of the reason why she had chosen to end her life.
Therefore, Heinz was sentenced to a few years in jail. In addition, he was convicted for deliberately spreading malicious rumors, inciting others to create trouble, and deliberately injuring other people.
All his charges combined resulted in a ten-year sentence!
Ten years was neither long nor short, but it spanned across his supposed peak of his life. During this period of time, Heinz was supposed to become the heir of the Rosaville City's chain of department stores. The Chilton and the Stewart family must be in chaos now!
The results were similar to what Eudora had envisioned.
Not long after they entered the ward, Thea's mobile phone rang several times.
However, Thea did not answer all of them. She would pick up the phone, look at the screen, and then hang up!
Finally, after countless times, everyone noticed her actions. Harley frowned and asked, "Is it the Stewart family?"
Thea nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Let me answer the call!" Harley said. "They must be calling regarding Heinz's matter! If it's hard for you to answer to them, I'll help you!"
"No!" Thea shook her head. "I have no more strings attached to the Stewart family. There's nothing that I can't tell them! Furthermore, you're my family now. Heinz deserves his punishment!"
After that, she answered the call.
As expected, Isaac Steward's voice rang out, "You d*mned girl, you've really gone out of your mind! It was just a private dispute between two sisters. How dare you deliberately put Heinz into jail, you monster!"
Thea had known that he would call her on Freya's behalf, but hearing with her own ears still made her feel bitter.
Thea took a deep breath and said, "Did you know that my husband had almost gotten beaten up to death? Even his friend got involved and almost sent to jail! Have you ever cared about these matters? All of them were caused by your so-called obedient daughter, Freya Stewart!"
Isaac was taken aback as he replied, "Aren't those things in the past? I saw the news. Harley is fine now, and so is his friend. What else do you want?"
Thea was so angry that she almost let out an enraged cackle.
"Then, you can ask Freya to come here, and I'll stab her. I'll ask the doctor to treat her, then we can act as though nothing happened."
"Sh-she's your sister!"
"What about me? What am I? Let me ask you, what am I to you?" Thea roared.
There was a moment of silence. Soon, Isaac spoke again, "You don't act like a daughter at all. Is this how you talk to your father?"
Thea sneered and said, "Mr. Stewart, why are you so shameless? The last time we spoke, we had already decided to cut ties. Now, you're saying that I'm your father? The moment you didn't appear when my mother gave birth to me, you were dead to me!"
After that, she hung up on the call, turning her phone off.
Upon seeing the scene unfold, Eudora and Amos immediately took the initiative to pick up Cutie Pie, taking Sugar Bun and Juju out with them.
"You two can talk about it. We'll take the children out to play for a while!"
When they left, Harley reached out and took Thea into his arms.
"If s alright. Why should we care about those heartless people? Don't be sad!"
The next second, Thea reached her hands out to push Harley away.
"I'm so angry! I'm so f*cking useless!"
"No, you aren't. Family is always.."
Thea interrupted Harley's speech.
