Chapter 1363
Lucy took over the follow-up matters involving the Yard twins. Sure enough, it was just as Sophia had
expected—they were released from custody. In the end, Bethany, Tawny, and the employees of the
hotel were charged with the crime of intentionally causing harm to others. Bethany was deemed the
mastermind behind the incident while Tawny and the employees of the hotel were aplices.
Consequently, Bethany was given a suspended death sentence, and the rest were sentenced to prison.
Meanwhile, the Yard twins were treated as foreigners since they were not naturalized. Not only were
they backed by a powerful force, but theirwyers were also very good at their jobs. In the end, both of
them were diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. They were deported and extradited back to their
home country. Their case would be heard in their home country.
Ronney City was their territory. As they were diagnosed as mentally ill, the death penalty was quickly
rescinded. It was equivalent to letting everything go back to how it was before—nothing happened to
them whatsoever. The Fletcher Family could only watch as they escaped without a scratch because the
other party was too powerful. It wasn’t a simple murder case. Rather, it was a power struggle between
two families. It was clear that the authorities did not want the situation to escte further. Besides, the
Yard Family lost many people. Hence, they decided to let this incident slide.
When Maddie heard the news, she was so furious that she cried all night. At present, Christine was still
lying in the nursing home. Although her life was no longer in danger, she had a long road ahead of her
before she could fully recover. Even so, the real culprit behind the incident was atrge! “No! We can’t
let those two b*stards get away with this!”
Joel seemed to have known that things would turn out in this manner. epting the fact that the Yard
twins were beyond the reach of thew, he soughtpensation of 100 million for Christine’s follow-up
treatment and rehabilitation costs. Lucy came over to settle the matter and added a detached vi in
Bayside City on top of the 100 million.
Later, Christine learned that even the Fletcher Family could do nothing to the other party. Moreover,
she might end up in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Thus, she couldn’t help feeling that she was a
burden on everybody. The Fletcher Family had already spent millions on her, and she did not want to
drag them down anymore. Therefore, she reluctantly epted thepensation from the other party.
Finally, the focus of the public was turned toward the headline news of ‘Popr A-List Female Celebrity
Receive a Suspended Death Sentence for Murder’.
With that, the matter came to an end. Afterward, the Ronney Group’s Cethosian branch announced
that it waspletely pulling out of the Cethosian market. It sold all its assets and withdrew from
Bayside City. The Fletcher Family was humiliated, and the Yard Familypletely withdrew from
Cethos. All in all, Lucy handled this matter beautifully. She received Jordan’s trust and simultaneously
drove the Yard Family out of Cethos. She could be said to be the biggest winner among them.
Stanley no longer needed toe and visit Christine every day. Even so, he dropped by after work
every single day to visit her and eat dinner with her, diligently trying to adapt to his status as her
husband. The Fletcher Family was starting to prepare for the wedding. Meanwhile, he found a new
house and prepared to renovate it into their marital home.
Since he decided to get married, he had to be a responsible husband. However, he was not happy. He
was not the slightest bit happy; he felt burdened instead. It felt like a huge rock was weighing down on
his heart and crushing him.

Ever since Sean moved out, he felt as if something was wrong. Even when he saw Sean at the
company, he felt as if there was an invisible river flowing between them, drawing a line between them
and blocking them from each other. Even when they brought Maisie out to y together during the
weekends, it was no longer like how it was before. Nheless, he understood that some things were
utterly different now, and it would never be the same again.
“Stan!” Christine called out to Stanley suddenly. Only then did Stanleye back to his senses and
realize that he had been sitting by her bedside nkly.
“Hmm? What’s the matter?” he hurriedly asked.
She seemed to be in good condition. Herplexion was starting to be ruddy again,
Unfortunately, she was still unable to walk. It was still unknown whether she could ever recover her
mobility. Biting on her lower lip, she seemed to make up her mind about something important. She said,
“Let’s get divorced!”
“Huh?” He was shocked, widening his eyes to stare at her. He had not expected her to bring up
divorce.
She embarrassedly said, “You only married me so that the Fletcher Family could intervene and rescue
me during that incident. I am aware of that. So, now that things have settled and I received the
compensation… it’s time for us to get divorced! Besides… there’s somebody else that I love…”
After a brief period of surprise, he felt a wave of relief and happiness wash over him. He hurriedly said,
“Sure, no problem! We’ll go through with the procedures once you’re all better. Gosh; why didn’t you
say so earlier? Look at me; I nearly caused trouble for you!”
She seemed to be very anxious. “Let’s do it tomorrow then. The person I love has been wanting to visit
me, but I’m scared he might learn that I’m married if he came. So…”
He was anxious too. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I will make an appointment immediately!”
Afterward, he rushed to make an appointment for their divorce, feeling happier than he was when
celebrating New Year’s.
The next day, Maddie pushed Christine in her wheelchair as they went with Stanley to go through the
divorce procedures. The divorce went very smoothly as there were no property disputes. Thus, they
received their divorce certificate very quickly. As Stanley had been Christine’s husband for a short
period, He wanted to give her alimony or something aspensation. However, Christine wanted
nothing. Finally, he decided to pull some strings and resolved her contract with her previous agency
that required her to sell her body. Then, he helped her sign a contract with Imperial Entertainment. That
company was more suitable for her as they trained their employees.
After receiving the certificate, she breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed very happy as she turned to
him and said, “Thank you, Stan. You don’t need to worry about me anymore. I’m a multi-millionaire
now. I even own a vi! I will surely recover well. Once I’m fully recovered, let’s y games together
again!”
Holding the divorce certificate, he seemed as eager as a husky that escaped from its leash. “Sure. The
next time something happens again, you have to call me. I promise I will never hang up on you again!”
Stanley briskly walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a light heart after separating from Christine.
Breathing in the smog-filled air outside, it even tasted sweet to him. The heavy weight pressing down
on his heart was gone as he hurriedly made a phone call to Sean. “Hey! What are you doing? Come
on; why are you working? Come out and y. Let me tell you; I’m divorced! Come and drink with me to
celebrate! Tsk. Christine has somebody she loves. I can’t hold her back now, can I? Don’t worry; I’m not
that kind of person. We divorced amicably. She doesn’t have feelings for me and asked for the divorce
herself. I even got her a brand-new contract! I’lle and pick you up at thepany—”
Christine watched as Stanley walked away happily, then she turned her gaze to the thin and green
divorce certificate in her hands. At the same time, her tears fell silently. The person I love is none other
than Stanley! When they got married, the Fletcher Family tacitly epted that they got married out of
love. In the future, she would be part of the Fletcher Family; she was Stanley’s wife. She even met his
parents and his brother! I love the Fletchers, and I love Stanley even more…
