Sean frowned when he heard the lowly and weak voice from behind. He stopped and looked back. Mr. Hughes was kneeling on the ground with his cuffed hand and legs. The two police beside him tried hard to pull him up.
Sean could not help and sneer as he saw it. "How funny. I can't believe Luke and Steven actually have you this useless and indecisive man as their biological father."
Although Sean did not know Steven well enough, he could tell Steven was a good guy from how he treated Denise and Gwen. At least he did not harbor his parent and knew that his parent made many mistakes when he was the beneficiary in the entire incident. It was really quite something.
Mr. Hughes' body became stiff. He lowered his head and asked timidly, "Can you...think about my two sons and…"
"I will ask the gang member to 'look after' you because of your two sons." He purposely emphasized 'look after' when he said that.
Mr. Hughes' body trembled.
"Stop kneeling. I won't be soft on you." After that, he turned around and strode outside. "I might think otherwise of you if you accept your sentence and go to jail. But look at you now. You are not really worth being their father!"
Mr. Hughes closed his eyes after looking at Sean leaving. He knew what await him was a long, miserable, and torturing prison life.
After Sean left the court, he called Joshua. Joshua played a great deal in settling this case so smoothly. He knew Joshua must have already known the result when it was announced. However, he needed to call his cousin personally to express his gratitude.
"I know." Joshua still sounded remote and cold as usual. "Luna and I are already at the airport. We're flying back to Banyan City half an hour later. If you're done here, could you please bring Gwen back to Merchant City? After Luna and I settle our thing in Merchant City, we'll go meet you in Merchant City."
