Chapter 317 Lyra''s Trial Results
This woman was not simple!
She was panicking earlier, but she swiftly calmed down again.
Not only did she calm down quickly, but her brain also worked very fast. She thought of an
exnation as to why she did not have her red mole in just a few seconds. Furthermore, that
exnation was very reasonable, making people feel as if there was nothing wrong with it at all.
Could Sydney and Hunter control such an intelligent person?
After all, if someone like that decided to renegade, the consequences would be unimaginable!
At that thought, Julien took out his phone as he walked toward the elevator and dialed Zach''s
number.
"President Flint." Zach''s voice sounded.
Julien pursed his lips and said in a cold voice, "Get someone to keep an eye on Denna Loffe. Let
me know immediately if she behaves abnormally.”
He must not let this kind of person threaten Sydney.
If she dared to even think of doing something she should not do, he would nip her in the bud.
Although Zach did not know the reason behind why Julien was doing this, he nodded and replied,
"Understood, President Flint. Is there anything else?"
"No." Julien hung up the phone.
On the other side, Sydney drove to the
courthouse.
Cayden and Luke were already waiting for her at the entrance. They walked over when they saw
her get out of the car.
"Sis."
"Darling!"
Sydney closed the car door. "How long have you two been here?"
"We''ve been here a while now, but we couldn''t go in since it wasn''t time yet, so we had to wait
outside." Cayden handed her a cup of milk tea that he bought beforehand.
Sydney took the milk tea. "Thanks, Cay."
"You''re wee." Cayden smiled gently.
Luke pointed opposite them. "Darling, those reporters are looking at you." Sydney sipped the milk
tea and looked in the direction he pointed. A group of reporters was taking pictures of her.
She guessed that if not for the armed guards stationed outside the courthouse, these reporters
would have rushed over to her.
After all, this trial was directly rted to Lyra''s fate. The reporters all wanted to know how she
currently felt.
"Just ignore them, Sis. It''ll only sour your mood." Layden nced coldly at the group of reporters.
Sydney hummed. "Of course I''ll ignore them, but what about you? Aren''t you worried that they''ll
recognize you?"
Although he was wearing a hat and mask, his outstanding height and figure were enough to attract
attention. Someone might be able to recognize him if they looked close enough.
Layden shrugged. "If they recognize me, then so be it. I don''t care."
"It''ll affect your career." Sydney pointed out.
Layden''s eyes darkened. "It doesn''t matter.
I might not be able to continue this career anyway."
"What do you mean?" Sydney and Luke exchanged a nce and looked at him at the same time.
"Kid, are you going to quit?" Luke put his hand on Layden''s shoulder.
Layden shook Luke''s hand off his shoulder and smiled at Sydney. "Yeah, but I''m still thinking about
it."
"Why are you thinking of quitting?" Sydney frowned. "Isn''t your dream to be a world-famous model?
Cay, did something happen?"
Otherwise, why would he give up on his dream?
Cayden''s eyes flickered. "It''s nothing. I just feel a little tired, so I want to take a break."
"Really?" Sydney narrowed her eyes, obviously not believing him.
Cayden smiled and waved his hand. "All right, let’s stop talking about this. The door is opened. Let''s
go in."
Sydney turned to look that the door of the courtroom behind them had indeed opened. She nodded.
"Okay, let''s go."
The three entered the courtroom, and some people who managed to get seats also entered.
Not long after, Brandon and his wife
arrived too.
Sydney met the gaze of Brandon and Mrs. Madden. When she saw their eyes that were full of
hatred, she was not afraid and even curled her lips in a smile, infuriating the couple.
The entire session would be broadcasted live. In other words, the onlineizens would be able to
watch it as well.
Soon, Lyra was brought in.
These days, she was kept in the detention center. Since she could not eat or sleep well and coupled
with the psychological pressure, she had lost a lot of weight.
If not for her fair skin, Sydney would have thought that she was looking at Denna.
In short, Lyra now looked like Denna when she just came out of the countryside. She looked
malnourished and seemed like she would be blown away by a gust of wind.
When Mrs. Madden saw Lyra like this, she was so distressed that she covered her lips and started
to cry.
Although Brandon hated Lyra miserably during this time, he could not bring himself to hate her now.
He only shook his head helplessly.
Bam!
The judge struck his gravel, and the trial officially began.
This trial did not make much sense. The evidence of Lyra''s crimes against Sydney had been seen
by people all around the world, so this trial was just a process.
Luke looked at Sydney''swyer who was arguing with Lyra''swyer and suddenly thought of
something. He turned to the side to say to Sydney, "Darling, there''s some bad news I think I should
tell you."
"What?" Sydney looked at him.
Layden probably knew what Luke was going to say. His eyes darkened. "He''s referring to what the
lawyer told us before you arrived."
"What did thewyer say?" Sydney became grim when she saw their solemn faces.
Luke clenched his fists. "Well, before you arrived, I asked yourwyer something. He said that
Lyra''s punishment might not be what we thought. She might not go to jail. The greatest possibility is
that she gets put on probation."
"Probation?" Sydney clenched her fists tightly, obviously dissatisfied with this result.
She wanted Lyra to go to jail, not on probation.
Luke naturally knew this, which was why he called it bad news.
"Yeah, probation. Thewyer said that it''s true that Lyra tried to harm you, but you didn’t get hurt, so
her murder charge became attempted murder instead. Thus, the punishment would naturally not be
as serious."
"How could that be?" Sydney''s face flushed in anger.
Luke sighed. "Yeah. Thewyer also said that even though she falsely used you, the result will
be the same. The main reason is because of her current health. Even if she gets sentenced, the
sentence will be executed outside of prison. And sentences outside of prison will eventually be
probation. That''s why thewyer said that Lyra’s final sentencing would be probation."

Sydney bit her lip and said nothing.
Probation?
How ridiculous!
She wanted to send Lyra to prison. She thought that this time, she could sessfully send Lyra to
jail.
However, thewyer said that the result might be probation?
What could be more disappointing than this result?
For a moment, Sydney felt very heavy. Her mood turned very unhappy.
Luke and Layden knew why she was like this.
Truthfully, they were very dissatisfied too, but that was how things were in Mediana. A mother who
killed her own daughter would only get five years in prison. Sometimes, the trial results were really
not as perfect as imagined.
Time passed, and the trial came to an end.
Just like thewyer expected, Lyra''s sentence was five years probation.
In these five years, Lyra could not leave Port City and had to wear leg cuffs. She would be under
constant supervision from the police. If they find out that Lyra continued to do bad things, she would
be sent to prison.
However, if she knew her ce and did not step out of line, there would be no problem. If she was
on her best behavior, she might even get her sentence reduced.
In other words, besides being supervised at all times, Lyra was still free. She could do the same
things she did in the past. She
just could not do anything bad.
Sydney waspletely unable to ept such a result. She wanted to appeal but was stopped by
thewyer.
