Chapter 649


    In the end, he decided to let Diana settle her problems herself.


    He had better not interfere too much.


    As for Ka…


    Diana toyed with the USB drive Noel gave her, pondering for a moment before finally inserting it into


    theputer.


    It was about time.


    She wanted to see what ultimately happened to Ka.


    Noel said that it wasn’t gory, and it certainly wasn’t.


    In fact, what she saw on herputer screen was a solemn trial in a courtroom.


    Ka sat on the defense table and received all sorts of interrogations.


    The key usations against her were counts of kidnapping, drugging Diana, and being in cahoots with


    Luke in attacking Julian on that rainy day.


    She had indirectly caused many deaths. Ultimately, the country had rules that its people had to abide


    by.


    Although Ka’s crimes did not deserve the death sentence, her crimes added up and she ended up


    with a lifelong imprisonment.


    Julian’swyer had to be credited for Ka’s harsh sentence.


    He had put forth such a strong and impermeable case that Ka’swyer had no way of


    counterattacking.


    When the trial was about toe to an end, the judge asked Ka, “Do you have anything else to


    say?”


    Ka had only one thing to say, which she repeated incessantly, “I want to see Julian Fulcher! I want to


    see Julian Fulcher!”


    And yet, Julian would never see her ever again.


    Her dream of being Mrs. Fulcher waspletely shattered.


    That was the utter hopelessness that he had given her, and the greatest punishment meted on her.


    Julian had, of course, considered this when he decided to give her jail time.


    Diana smiled. She was originally dissatisfied with this court case, but after watching the footage, she


    finally understood.


    Rather than killing someone, it was better to expose the person’s intentions and heart to the world.


    Ka would be in eternal torment of wanting to see Julian but never having her wish fulfilled. She


    would live the rest of her life with her wrecked voice, disfigured face, and dissatisfied heart.


    A fate worse than death.


    In the video, Ka could be seen struggling and refusing to be detained. She looked to be in utmost


    pain-even deranged-and Diana smiled as she witnessed the scene.


    Yet… Tears started flowing amidst her smile.


    Whatever it was, Ka was ultimately still her younger sister.


    In the end, it was abination of James’s viciousness, Kate’s vanity and Lucy’s shamelessness that


    led the sisters to their plight today.


    In the middle of a dark, sleepless night, Diana wondered if any of these three would one daye to


    genuinely repent of their behavior.


    “Of course not!” James spat on the floor. “Even if I were to die, I’d never leave the Winnington family!


    Go! Tell my father toe and see me!”


    Kate had cried for days on end, until her eyes were red and swollen. “James, Father already said that


    he’d never see us again and that the Winnington family will never ept us again. He told you to give


    up all hope of ever returning to the family.”


    “How could that be?!” James had been wearing his tunic suit over the past few days; it had signs of dirt


    and stains clinging on it.


    Yet James, who had always cared about his appearance, didn’t even care.

    He sat dejectedly on the bench as tears fell from his eyes.


    Kate was originally waiting for him to give her a direction on what to do, but the sight of him dashed all


    hopes in her heart. “The Winnington family…” Her lips trembled as she went on, “Are we really never


    able to return to it?”


    “We’ll never be able to return! Never!” James yelled at the top of his lungs as he smashed everything


    he could get his hands on. Deafening sounds of things crashing on the floor could be heard. When that


    was unable to vent his anger, he gripped Kate’s chin and snarled, “It’s all your fault for giving birth to


    that b*tch Diana!”


    That little b*tch! How dare she scheme against her own father!


    “I’m her biological father! How could she treat me like this?!”


    Kate saw him looking almost deranged and shouting words of filth. Coupled with her hopelessness of


    returning to the Winnington n, she began to lose all respect for him and even started to reprimand


    him. She screeched, “Weren’t you the one who schemed against her first? You abandoned her when


    she was so young, too! How could you bear to do that? How could you?!”


    James saw Kate ring at him through widened eyes, her face twisted and contorted like a scorned


    woman, andughed in derision. “Hah! You’re a bigger b*tch than her!”
