The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1492

Shannon might still be alive then. But does she actually have to spend thirty years behind bars?

If she kept appealing, maintained a good facade, behaved well, and slowly worked things out behind the scenes, who knows? The authorities might release her after she serves just ten years!

A sinister sense of hope sprouted in Shannon’s heart. However, the authorities quickly crushed her small flame of hope.

“Furthermore, concerning the fall of the victim, Mary, twenty years ago, the evidence is now irrefutable, and the defendant, Shannon Quarry, has confessed to committing the crime in court. Given her strong motive, premeditated actions, lack of remorse, and attempts to cover up the crime by bribing and threatening witnesses, destroying evidence, and evading justice for two decades, her actions are far more heinous than those of Winston and are utterly unforgivable.”

As Clarence spoke, his voice grew louder and more intense. His sharp eyes behind his glasses were tinged with anger. “Therefore, for the crimes of incitement to murder, intentional homicide, destruction of evidence, and obstruction of justice, the defendant, Shannon Quarry, is sentenced to death! She will no longer have political rights, and the authorities will confiscate all her assets.”

Boom–!

With a deafening roar, Shannon felt a massive weight crash down on her, overwhelming her. She collapsed suddenly, unable to support herself any longer.

‘Death sentence. Death sentence. Death sentence.’

Her vision darkened with despair and terror. She even reached out with her bony hands, clawing at the air as if she had truly gone blind.

The verdict was clear and resounding. It left a profound impact on everyone present.

In the public gallery, Sasha got so excited she nearly shouted, while Celeste and Amelia hugged each other in tears. Even the always elegant and reserved Mila quietly wiped away a tear with her silk handkerchief.

Ralph’s hands, resting on his knees, trembled as he clenched them tightly. Beside him, Asher took a deep breath, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Asher took it out and saw a message from Arnold. His heart skipped a beat as he opened the chat.
