Chapter 364 He Will Take AU the Blame
Fortunately, the photo was still there, and Ronian had not discovered that Sherlyn stole the photo in the study.
Sherlyn explained, "I'm just curious. After all, mom is up there. I haven't seen her yet, so I want to go up and take a look."
Ronian sighed, "Forget it. I won't punish you this time. Don't do it again. Our family has rules. Since you are back, you must abide by them. Understand?"
"I got it."
Ronian got up and adjusted the collar of his military uniform. "You were scared last night. Sleep a little longer. I'll get them to send you food later."
"Wait."
Sherlyn pulled Ronian's sleeve and looked up at him. "Last night before I fainted, someone seemed to have hit my head with something and wanted to strangle me to death. He said that I should not live in this world. Was it... mom?"
Ronian sat down and patted Sherlyn's shoulder.
His tone softened. "No. No one wants to strangle you to death. The wound on your forehead was caused by your fall, and you hit a corner of the table. Maybe you were too scared last night and just came up with it out of your imagination. Don't think too much about it."
That feeling was too real. Sherlyn's mind was clear last night. How could it be a delusion?
"Alright. When you had an accident last night, mom did not wake up. This morning, a maid went to clean the room and found you in the study."
Was it really like this?
Was it a dream because Sherlyn was on edge?
"Then how long will it take for me to see my mom?" Sherlyn asked doubtfully.
"Mom caught a cold. She said she didn't want to infect you. It may take a few days. At the latest, at your banquet, you'll be able to see the loving and beautiful mom." Ronian was slightly stunned, his amber eyes filled with mixed emotions.
"Mom caught a cold? I can take care of her. My physical fitness is better than the average girl's. I won't be infected."
"But now that you are injured, it is the time when your resistance is the lowest." Roman's eyes narrowed as he emphasized seriously, "Since you're back, you have to be obedient!"
Sherlyn was discouraged and silently nodded.
Ronian said a few more words before he closed the door and left.
Once he left, Sherlyn quickly got out of bed and walked to the mirror on the opposite dressing table. Other than a faint tingling sensation,
there was no trace of being pinched.
Could it be that Sherlyn was too afraid last night and came up with this conjecture?
"Forget it. Viola's matter is more important!"
Sherlyn snapped out of her thoughts and took out the photo that she hid in her trouser pocket last night. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she stuffed it back into her trouser pocket.
Because of the injury on Sherlyn's forehead, Ronian didn't allow her to go out. No matter what excuse Sherlyn used, Dewey refused to let her go and confiscated her mobile phone, asking her to rest.
Sherlyn had to stay at home for two days.
Everyone was busy, and it was as if time passed by more quickly.
Soon, it was time for the court session.
After Ronian finished breakfast and went out, Sherlyn said that her injuries had healed and that she needed to go to shoot a magazine. Then she left the Felton's home and took a taxi to Viorin alone.

On the way to the International Court, the representative of the lawyers, Pearce Gulliver, handed the report to Viola and repeatedly emphasized.
"Ms. McGraw, you have to say as the paper says. Don't worry. Even if Cristina is a princess, the legal team of the McGraw family will not let you suffer a loss!"
Viola didn't say anything and nodded. She didn't look at the paper given by the lawyer.
Bentley, Russell, and Tanya came to the court. Bobby had been too busy with work recently to come back. Todd volunteered to stay in Viorin and take care of Ormand.
By the time Sherlyn rushed to Viorin, everyone had set off, and it had been half an hour.
Because Sherlyn's mobile phone was confiscated, she used up the last battery on the way. She had no choice but to borrow some money from Todd to take a taxi to the International Court.
As soon as Sherlyn left, Todd returned to the master bedroom. He discovered that Ormand was awake!
Todd was surprised and quickly sat down. "Heavens. Mr. Hobson, you finally woke up!"
Ormand's eyelashes trembled slightly. He glanced at Todd and immediately looked around the room.
"Where's Viola?"
Speaking of which, Todd was anxious. "Ms. Zumthor has gone to the International Court. Cristina wants to sue her for murdering the royal family. The court starts today."
"Murder the royal family?" Ormand's handsome face tightened, and his cloudy thoughts instantly cleared.
"It's Carlos Martinez, Cristina's adopted son, also known as Jerry."
"Drive and go to the International Court immediately," Ormand said.
"The court is about to begin. If we go over, I'm afraid we won't be able to help much." Todd looked at his watch and grabbed Ormand's arm.
"Nir. Hobson, 1 just received news that Jerry... is no longer in danger." Todd's eyes narrowed as he spoke in a low and cautious voice.
Ormand looked at Todd and quickly cleared his mind.
"Let's go take a look."

The solemn court was surrounded by people.
As soon as Viola's car arrived, the media quickly gathered around and pushed the microphone to Viola.
"Ms. McGraw, did you really kill someone?"
"Although Jerry was once in prison, he is a good law-abiding citizen. I heard that he and you were childhood sweethearts. Why did you kill him?"
"Ms. McGraw, please explain it. Ms. McGraw..."
A steady stream of microphones was handed over to Viola, and the flashing lights clicked.
Viola was just about to answer when Russell put his arm around her shoulder and asked someone to clear the room.
