Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 543

"They confessed. It's all in this video. How do you want to do this?" Ethan slid the flash drive in front of Janet.

"I couldn't care less about Jeff, but I know that my parents still care about Lila. I want to talk to them first." Janet was hesitant. She didn't think it was a good idea to put Lila behind bars without consulting her parents first.

Upon hearing this, Ethan's expression darkened. He reached for Janet's hand and said softly but firmly, "I respect that, but you shouldn't be asking your parents for their opinion. You should just be informing them about what Lila has done. I'm not going to let her go this time, honey."

Unlike Janet, Ethan wasn't as indecisive.

He sent the video directly to the Whites.

When Johanna watched the video, she was furious. "I raised her for twenty years, but this is what I get in return? A criminal? How dare she do something like this?!"

Even Beal gave up on his former daughter completely. What she had done this time was simply too despicable for words.

He rubbed his temples and sighed, "Do whatever you want with her. She has to be punished. She is no longer a member of the White family. Whatever she has done has nothing to do with us."

After Jeff and Lila were brought to court, they were sentenced to jail.

The Gillian family was poor, so they couldn't hire a good lawyer for Lila and Jeff. And even if they did have the money, they had offended Brandon Larson. No lawyer in Barnes would be willing to take their case.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the Gillian family's small grocery store was in shambles. A group of thugs kept showing up at the store and made a scene, which forced them to shut down the business.
