Chapter 76
After an eternity, his voice came out hoarse, “ra, can’t we go back to the way things. were?
Facing off against each other every day, don’t you get tired of it?”
ra’s eyes swam with tears, but her lips curled into a faint, mocking smile. “Why don’t you find
someone to wipe out my memories then? Make me forget the agony of not being able to find you
when my life was hanging by a thread. Make me forget how you’ve kept me like a sugar baby for
the past three years, or the decision you and Heidi made regarding my child. Can you do that,n?”
Stunned,n stared at her. “When have I ever abandoned you in a life–or–death moment? Wasn’t it
me who pulled you out of the water? What decision about taking your child? ra, you need to be
clear.”
Pushing him away with a forceful gesture, ra fixed him with a frosty gaze. “Want to know? Go
ask your precious Heidi, and let’s hear what she has to say.”
She didn’t look back as she drove away, leavingn watching her car disappear into the distance,
his eyes cold and unfathomable. He took out his phone and called Dawson. “Check who Leonora
has been in contact with recently. Kaleb must have been taken by her. Find him, no matter what it
takes.”
August 3rd.
ra was dressed in a crisp white blouse and ck trousers, exuding seriousness with a touch of
grace. She stood at the witness stand, calmly answering questions from the judge and the opposing
counsel.
Despite being targeted by Heidi and Nicole’s allegations, ra managed to turn the situation
around with her exceptional abilities as a top student at Ivywood University Law
School.
The case was moving in a positive direction when the opposition suddenly introduced new
evidence. “Your Honor, I have a recording here that proves that Mr.n and Miss ra have been
involved in an improper affair.”

At those words, ra froze, her fists clenching tightly. After a few seconds, the solemn silence of
the courtroom was broken by the cool, détached voices of Chase andn.
“Aren’t you worried about ra at all? She’s the woman you fancy.”
“Do you need to get your eyes checked? Since when did you see me liking her?”
“If you don’t like her, why do you shower her with gifts? Who would believe that?”
A sugar baby is meant to be pampered, isn’t it?”
The recording sent ra reeling into her seat. She knew the conversation was real. She had heard
it herself. She never imagined that her downfall would be caused by her rtionship withn.
The opposing counsel continued, “We’ve verified this recording. It’s Mr. Ian’s own voice. So, Miss
ra and Mr. Ian’s rtionship is akin to that of a sugar daddy and his kept woman, ready to be
dissolved at any time.”
“Miss ra felt threatened and dissatisfied when she saw our client return, and Mr. Ian always left
her to care for Miss Heidi. This motivated Miss ra to act against our client. She then bribed Kaleb
from the tech department to delete the footage.
“Her actions resulted in our client suffering an arm injury, excessive blood loss, and losing the
chance topete in an international pianopetition. This also exacerbated her depression,
leading to multiple suicide attempts.
“Miss ra’s behavior constitutes intentional harm. We plead with the court for a just observation.
Despite Anders presenting various mitigating factors and ra’s blood donation records, the charge
of intentional harm was established. These evidences could only serve to reduce her sentence.
ra stood quietly at the defendant’s bench, watching the judge summarize the entire case. As she
saw the judge’s gavel about to fall, she closed her eyes resignedly. She could never have foreseen
that the final straw would be her condemned rtionship withn. Even if she won the appeal, she
couldn’t withstand the crushing weight of public opinion.
Just as she thought it was all over, the courtroom doors swung open.
A man’s voice came from outside. “Your Honor, I have new evidence that proves ra is innocent.”
