Chapter 585


    The next morning


    Summer woke up very early and sent Charlotte to school, then hurried over to the court. She and her


    They still had time before the trial began. So she first had breakfast with herwyer.


    When she arrived at the court building entrance, she met Yvette, and of course, Mark, behind Yvette.


    This was the first time they met since five or six days ago. But she did not expect that it would be in


    such a circumstance.


    Summer nced at them with no emotion in her eyes, as if they were strangers to her.


    She did not say hello or anything, just walked past the two of them with her head held high. But no one


    noticed her fingernails had sunk into the tender flesh of her palms.


    Deep and dark eyes were following her. Mark quietly sighed, his chest heaving as he looked at her


    callous indifference from behind.


    "What have I done in my previous life that a vicious woman like heres to haunt me in this life?"


    Yvette cursed in dissatisfaction.


    Jazz looked away as he could not stand that his mom always med someone else but herself. 1


    The trial started with Summer and Mark, each sitting o n the opposite bench. There was an added


    silence between them at this moment.


    Mark was staring at Summer the whole time. She had lost weight again since hest saw her a few


    days ago. Even her chin was showing now.


    But Summer did not look at him. Instead, she was talking with herwyer with her head lowered.


    Lawyers from both sides expounded their stances and exined the reasons, and even refuted the


    other side’s ims.


    The hearingsted for two hours, and finally the court handed down its verdict to sentence Ronald to


    ten years and above in prison and deprived him of political rights for life.


    Ten years and above? Was it 15, 20, or 30 years?


    Summer sat there motionless after hearing the verdict. Her face was grave, but no one knew what was


    on her mind.


    "I have tried my best. I told you when we were on the way here that it was difficult to press for a life


    sentence. But then, the used is nearly sixty years old; ten years and life imprisonment makes no


    difference for him," herwyer said.


    The corner of Summer’s mouth twitched with a halfsmile on her face. She understood this point.


    "Let''s get out of here." Summer rose to her feet.


    This case was headline material in Santabaca, explosive enough to send earthquakes throughout

    Santabaca.


    Yvette simply could not ept the verdict. She felt weak, and the noisy crowd had exacerbated her


    headache.


    "Take Mom away," Mark said to Jazz.


    Jazz looked at the group of vicious reporters and frowned. "What about you?"
