The Yates family did blame Jessica for stealing her household register and getting married to Hank, but they did not want her to die. Therefore, after a discussion, they decided to hire a lawyer for their daughter.
They hoped their daughter could be given a light sentence.
Jessica’s brothers and sisters-in-law did not really want to help her, but their parents scolded them for some time.
Hence, they had no choice but to promise their parents. Everyone chipped in some money to hire a lawyer for their sister.
Chelsea and George were not mistaken. The old couple was indeed Jessica’s parents.
They had come to the hospital to beg their son-in-law to be merciful and let their daughter off.
Their daughter could get a lighter punishment if their son-in-law were willing to produce a letter of forgiveness.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Yates would surely be met with Mr. and Mrs. Brown’s obstruction and scolding if they wanted to do so.
On the other hand, Liberty was unaware of everything, nor did she want to care. It had nothing to do with her anymore. Sonny was her remaining connection to the Brown family.
…
Meanwhile, at the Stones’ residence, Clive, who had been out, returned.
When he drove past Remy’s villa, he glanced at it and realized his sister was in there. Although he wanted to stop the car, he went home in the end.
The feelings his sister and Remy shared were mutual. Although Remy’s hometown was in Annenburg, he already had two villas in Wiltspoon. That villa that was undergoing renovation was even adjacent to the Stones’ family villa.
Clive approved of Remy.
“No. She’s still watching the television in the house. Mr. Stone is with her. Ms. Elisa had gone to Mr. Remy’s house next door. Only the missus went upstairs to take a rest.”
Alice often felt sleepy during the early stages of pregnancy. After getting used to naps, it had become her habit to take an afternoon nap every day.
“Have you eaten, Mr. Clive?” the butler asked.
Clive turned around to retrieve an envelope from the car. He replied, “I ate outside.
“Please head next door to ask Elisa and Remy to return.”
“Okay.”
Clive brought the envelope into the house.
