Chapter 1515


    “That may be true, but it won''t be easy to win a dense guy over, especially when jewelry is all that he


    cares about!” Lina said with a frown.


    “So what? The harder the pursuit is, the more rewarding it will be! I''m sure the oue will be worth it.


    Besides, you''re so pretty, Lina! I''m certain you''ll have no issues winning his heart over!” Natalie gave


    her a reassuring pat on the shoulder as she continued, “Once thispetition is over, you can head


    back and try to hang out with him as much as possible. Even if you make a phone call every day can


    really help bring you two closer to each other.”


    Lina nodded. “Yeah, you''re right. This is all I can do for now.”


    “All right, let''s drop this conversation and get back to work. We can rest once we''re done here,” Natalie


    said as she returned to her desk.


    Lina stretched in her seat. “Okay, back to work!”


    They then proceeded to focus on their work. About half an hourter, they were finally done and went


    back to their respective rooms to get some sleep.


    Natalie had just stepped out of her room the next morning when she received a call from the Chanaean


    police about Lucy.


    Apparently, the Chanaean police had taken custody of her after her deportation. As there was sufficient


    evidence of her crime, her trials went by rather quickly, and it was soon time for the court to hand down


    her sentence.


    The police were calling Natalie to inform her that the court had sentenced Lucy to five years of


    imprisonment.


    Natalie wasn''t too surprised when she heard that.


    After all, Lucy had gotten popr by giarizing her designs to obtain tickets to thepetition. That


    act alone was a serious enough crime to get her three years of imprisonment.


    As if that wasn''t bad enough, the event organizer also filed aint against Lucy. After all, her


    actions had discredited the organizer, affecting its reputation and credibility in the eyes of others. That


    has led to a decline in the value of thepetition, making ite off as cheap.


    Given the damage Lucy had done, it was only natural that the event organizer would take legal action


    against her in retaliation.


    Natalie believed that the event organizer had contributed to her receiving the five-year prison sentence.


    Besides, she had a feeling it wouldn''t just end there. The organizer would probably also arrange for


    some of the inmates to bully Lucy every day.


    Even so, Natalie felt no sympathy for her whatsoever. She needed to be punished severely for her


    shameless and evil deeds.


    That was the only way to ensure she would learn her lesson and behave in the future.


    “Good morning, Nat!” Lina greeted her the moment she got off the phone.


    Natalie turned around and saw Lina yawning as she made her way toward her. “Good morning,


    sleepyhead! What''s the matter? Did you not sleep wellst night?”


    “Yeah, I went to bed prettyte because I stayed up chatting with Bryan,” Lina replied while rubbing her


    eyes.


    Natalie arched an eyebrow at her in response. “Oh? Did you have a really long chat?”


    “Yeah, I gave him a call after returning to my room. I just wanted to have a little chat with him, but we


    ended up dragging the conversation out,” Lina exined.


    “I''m guessing you didn''t make much progress, then. Otherwise, you should be overjoyed by now,”


    Nataliemented.


    Lina let out a huge sigh. “You know me very well. I guess it can''t be helped, though. He''s such a dense


    person, after all. Still, that chat has taught me to be patient and take my time with him.”


    Natalie nodded. “Well said. All right, let''s go get breakfast and head over to thepetition hall.”


    “Okay.”


    The two then had breakfast in the dining room before heading over to thepetition hall to carry out


    their duties as judges.


    After thepetition ended in the afternoon, Natalie quickly drove to the airport with a huge smile on


    her face.

    As it was a weekend, Shane would be bringing the two kids along when picking her up.


    It had been a week since shest saw the three of them, so she was missing them like crazy. They had


    been video-calling each other on a daily basis, but it wasn''t enough. She needed to see them in


    person.
