Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 968

We spent an excruciatingly long time waiting for the verdict. Atlas kept holding my hand, radiating endless warmth.

We exchanged knowing smiles, his composure infecting me.

The others in the courtroom whispered as we waited for the verdict, but the consensus leaned towards acquittal.

Finally, the judge and his team returned to the bench, silencing the room below.

The final verdict was announced. Matthew was acquitted on the spot.

Once the judge made the announcement, Matthew slumped into the chair behind him, hands covering his face.

Johnson rushed over, and they spontaneously embraced.

Matthew turned to look back at me. His face was pallid and his eyes still showed traces of confusion. I smiled effortlessly, and he grinned back. Then, he thanked Adrian and others.

Atlas, my entourage, and I rose together and headed out.

Glancing back, I saw that Liora and Melvern’s seats were empty.

Everything was settled.

We passed through the thick crowd outside the courthouse, heading back to the company.

In the car, Atlas looked at me with a radiant smile. "Are you relieved now?"

"Liora is still at large. Who knows what tricks she might pull?" I replied with a worried expression.

After all, with the scheming Melvern behind her, these two would definitely be up to something.

And although Matthew had been acquitted on the spot, he was now homeless, and the trouble behind him persisted. Ardora was still a mess. Paused projects were waiting to resume, and there were outstanding bank loans and worker salaries. Those burdens made Matthew's situation very grim.

Johnson had told me before that after our divorce, Melanie transferred all the properties previously owned by Grace into her name. Consequently, all those houses had been sealed off.

Now, Ardora was in complete chaos, and Matthew faced financial pressure and challenges. But one thing was certain. He was free.

As for the mastermind behind all this, Melanie, she still roamed freely.
