Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 813

"The girl was from out of town. She's from a humble background, and even if she wanted to make a scene, she didn't know how. Besides, her family was very poor," Arnold explained, and suddenly, I understood what would happen.

"After the incident, the Sunny family spent a considerable sum to settle the matter, giving the girl's family only 70 thousand dollars, and that was the end of it." Arnold sighed, shaking his head.

"70 thousand dollars?" I exclaimed, "This is outrageous! They just dismissed a precious life for 70 thousand dollars?"

Even though I guessed the story's outcome, I didn't expect the Sunny family to be so heartless, treating human lives like they meant nothing.

Arnold helplessly replied, "The girl's family was too impoverished. That's how it goes. They had never seen so much money. They even feared they couldn't get their hands on the 70 thousand."

I felt speechless, and a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed me.

"Afterward, under heavy pressure, the Sunny family immigrated. They wouldn't care about the Thompson family, and the Thompson family inevitably became the scapegoat."

"Liora should be locked up and punished!" I gritted my teeth in anger.

"Eugene, Liora's father, wanted to extort the Sunny family. He thought that by marrying Liora off, he could immigrate with them. However, it was just a pipe dream of his own."

"The Sunny family refused?"

"Yes, the Sunny family was furious, stating they had paid to suppress this. The final price was that the wealthy elites of Foswood joined forces to expel the Sunny family. Otherwise, they would send Melvern to prison, and he probably wouldn't be able to return for the rest of his life.

"So, the Sunny family bled heavily to settle this matter. The Sunny family became anxious when the Thompson family stirred up trouble again. If the Thompson family pushes the case further, Liora will be imprisoned, and the Thompson family will be ruined."

"These two families were in cahoots," I said in anger.

"Eugene was in a bind and could only settle for second best. However, the Sunny family pulled the strings, telling him to report each person accordingly. Otherwise, they would expose him."
