Everyone had left the courthouse. Starry and Isabella were going to have lunch to celebrate.
Then, Isabella thought of Sophie, she turned around and saw her standing there in a daze. It was obvious she was still in shock.
Izabella snorted and walked over to Sophie. "Scared? Why are you still standing here? Your bestie has lost the case and is being taken to prison. Aren't you going to notice her family?"
Sophie looked at Isabella and came to her senses. She looked awkward.
However, she dared not offend Isabella, gritted her teeth, and left with a livid face.
Isabella returned to Starry. "I will treat you to lunch. Today is such a success."
Starry didn't say no, she looked at Bentley. "Are you going with us, Bentley?"
"I'd love to."
Seeing that Bentley had agreed, Isabella said, "Then hurry up, it's getting late. I am hungry."
"Okay!"
"It's your treat."
They left the courthouse, got in their cars in appointed to meet at the Dapper Star.
After Sophie left the court, she went straight to the Scott family.
Two months earlier, the notice had been sent to the Scott family by the court.
Iris Gibson also knew about the trial today.
Before Lucia left the house, she had told Iris not to be nervous about trial, and that Starry was just bluffing, she wouldn't actually fight the Scott family.
Iris thought that her words made sense and got relaxed.
When Sophie arrived at the Scott family, she was still having desserts.
Seeing that Sophie came back alone, Iris had a bad feeling. "Sophie, didn't you go to the trial with Lucia? Is it still going? Why are you back alone?"
"Mrs. Scott, Lucia has been detained. We lost the case, Starry refused to settle this out of court, she didn't even want Lucia's apology. All she wanted was for her to be sentenced."
As Sophie spoke, her voice became lower and lower. "Lucia's lawyer said that she would at least be sentenced to half a year in prison. Moreover, Starry has refused any kind of apology, which means she will be sentenced even longer. One or two years, maybe."
Hearing her words, Iris was dumbfounded. "You mean… Lucia is going to prison?"
Sophie looked bad. "Yes, Mrs. Scott."
"How is that possible I'm going to talk to Starry!"
Starry dared not stop her. She followed her and continued. "Mrs. Scott, the lawyer suggested that we should not see or talk to Starry for now, he said that the result has not been announced. Us going to see Starry at this time might make things worse."
Iris could not listen at all. "Stupid lawyer, he couldn't even win this case! Sophie, come with me, we're going to see Starry!"
Sophie couldn't talk Iris out of this and she couldn't just stay away. In the end, she had to follow Iris into the car.
When Iris broke into the private room, Isabella was making a toast to Bentley with a cup of cola.
The door was kicked open by Iris, who was followed by two staff working here. "Mrs. Scott, you can't…"
Iris could listen at all. As soon as she saw Starry, she rushed over.
Raising her hand, she was about to slap Starry in the face. However, before her hand fell on Starry's face, Bentley stopped her.
