Chapter 232


    Chapter 232


    Elliot’s crew cut had been sh aved to that of a skinhead. He had be twice as thin, and his face


    was littered with bruises. His eyes were so swollen that they resembled walnuts, and there was only a


    thin line indicating the opening of the eyes.


    His neck and any other parts uncovered were in a simr state as his face, which was quite frightening.


    Elliot pleaded guilty to his crimes without needing the judge or Mr. Sharpe to grill him. When he spoke,


    tears and s not were running all over his face Larissa clearly saw that what was once a mouth full of


    uneven yellow teeth now only had a few teeth remaining. She could not imagine


    what on earth he went through in the detention center.


    The trial progressed much more smoothly than Larissa anticipated She did not even need to use. any


    of the words that Mr. Sharpe had coached her to say beforehand. In the end, the judge found Elliot


    guilty of causing intentional bodily harm and sentenced him to ten years in prison. Compared to the


    harm he had caused Larissa, ten years of prison is quite a heavy punishment. already.


    Larissa was fairly pleased with this oue. The same went for Dn and Mr. Sharpe.


    “How about a celebratory meal?” Larissa suggested


    Maria waved her hand ‘Didn’t we just eat at noon?” She smiled apologetically before she said, “My


    husband sent me a text on WhatsApp, telling me toe home once I’m done here. He was Toasting


    chicken for me, and now it’s ready. As I’m pregnant now, it’s better for me to eat


    homemade food”


    Being on the receiving end of such affection between a couple made Larissa feel envious.


    Seeing her this way, Maria patted her shoulder and said earnestly, Larissa, go ahead and have a child!


    Once you’re pregnant, Kevan will only love you more. By then, you could have anything and everything


    you want. Wouldn’t that be nice?”


    To this. Larissa could only smile dryly. “Maybe in the far future.”


    Maria left with a cab first, and Mr. Sharpe had something to do, so Larissa and Dn were the only


    ones left.


    Taking out his phone, Dn asked Larissa, “How about calling your husband out to join us for a


    meal?”


    The title of “husband” was a little far away for Larissa. It took a while for her to react.


    “He is pretty busy these days. We’d better not disturb him.”


    Kevan had to go out drinking for the past couple of nights and would only return in the morning. She


    figured that he would not have the time to eat with them.


    “He still got to eat, right? Even if he’s busy?” Dn called Kevan right away. “At worst, we can just eat


    near Microworks, so we won’t hold him up from his work.”


    Since he had already said so, Larissa could not stop him.


    CHA


    Kevan answered the phone pretty quickly.


    “Finished?” he asked.


    “Yup.” Dn replied, “We just finished. Your wife said she wanted to have a celebratory meal. We just


    weren’t sure if you had time for that?”


    The phone went silent for a few seconds.


    Larissa thought Kevan would refuse, but he said, “Sure, where to?”


    Dn gave Larissa a victorious smirk. “Your wife is sorry you’re so busy with work and doesn’t


    want you to run around, so we’ll be heading over to Microworks right now. Then we’ll just find a


    restaurant nearby.”Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
