Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 232

The lead attorney felt a cold sweat break out on the back of his neck.

He opened his mouth several times but couldn't scrape together a single counterargument. Defeated, he lowered his gaze, unable to meet the eyes of the Shaw family.

Tristan asked calmly, "Defense counsel, do you have any further objections?"

The Shaw family's legal team sat in dead silence. After a long pause, the lead attorney gritted his teeth and muttered, "...No."

The judge withdrew his gaze. "The charges are upheld. Taking all circumstances into account, the penalty is hereby converted to a one-year suspended prison sentence, with six months probation. Additionally, the defendant is ordered to sign the Severance Agreement with the plaintiff."

Willow raised an eyebrow. A year was more than enough time.

After all, with their legal ties officially severed, the inheritance left by her parents would have to be returned to her in full.

Within this year, Willow was confident she could completely overthrow Xavier's position.

For an arrogant man who callously disregarded the feelings of others, stripping him of all his manipulative power and turning him into a puppet was the ultimate revenge.

She wanted to crush his ego entirely, break his pride, and force him to taste the exact torment she had endured for years!

Only then would Willow consider it fair.

The corners of her lips curled up into an unrestrained, triumphant smile.

Xavier looked up and caught the smile on her lips. His pupils dilated as a chilling wave of despair washed over his chest.

Willow... she couldn't wait to see him punished.

Just how spectacular of a failure had he been as a brother?

Sitting nearby, Silas Shaw was frantic. He yanked on Xavier's arm. "Xavier! Do you have any other evidence? Bring it out! Do you seriously want to go to jail?"
