Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1323

The next day, a huge crowd gathered outside the courthouse to witness the trial.

Many media reporters were conducting interviews, and people demanded severe punishment for the Chandler family. It seemed that Byron had angered the citizens of Gerby.

As the car waited to enter the courthouse, I overheard an elderly citizen being interviewed. He passionately said, "Byron is insane, and he does not even spare his own daughter. What kind of person is he?"

Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at Beatrice. Her face remained pale, and she appeared calm. Sensing me looking at her, she clasped my hand with her cold one.

The powerful voice from outside continued, "Mr. Elijah, the ex-CEO of Keller’s Dairy, was a remarkable person. He's our pride in Gerby!”

The old man was indignant, and his words garnered approval from the surrounding crowd.

"I'm 60 this year, and I’ve been drinking the milk produced by his company for decades. This esteemed man, who has safeguarded the health of Gerby residents for so long, has suffered such cruelty. How can we not be outraged?"

"That's right. After Byron took over, the quality of milk declined."

"It's true. And this family is so arrogant as if they run this place.”

Everyone chimed in with complaints to the reporters.

The old man continued, "Keller's Dairy is not only well-known here, but is sold nationwide and exported overseas. The quality is trustworthy. When the milk poisoning incident happened years ago, I never believed it."

He was shaking his head vigorously, then looked at the reporters. "Do you know why I believe in him so much?"

The reporter asked, "Why?"

"When Gerby experienced a major flood causing a power outage, dairy production was affected. Mr. Elijah ordered the milk produced that day to be stopped. He personally apologized to the citizens, explaining the reason. How can such a good person make poisoned milk?"

"That's two innocent lives lost. They’re just children. How dare they poison two innocent kids like that?”
