I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 524

Finn stood in the hallway.

The glaring fluorescent lights overhead cast a stark pallor over his face.

"When is the trial?"

"Next Tuesday."

The day of the trial brought clear skies.

Sunlight poured through the glass doors of the courthouse, spilling across the tiled hallway floors.

Sienna walked beside Finn. He was dressed in a sharp, dark suit, exuding a cold, precise authority.

The session began, and they took their seats.

Finn and Sienna sat in the front row.

Maeve and Percival Vance sat several rows behind them.

The bailiffs escorted Yolanda through the side door.

She was dressed in a prison uniform, her hair completely white.

As she entered, her eyes swept over the gallery. The moment she spotted Finn, her lips curled into a sneer of absolute disgust and mockery.

Her gaze continued past him, finally locking onto Maeve and Percival.

She froze in pure shock.

Maeve and Percival were sitting together, their shoulders practically touching.

Yolanda couldn't comprehend what she was seeing.

Weren't they supposed to hate each other for the rest of their lives?

And why did Maeve look so impossibly young?

Yolanda's eyes remained fixed on Maeve for several long seconds.

Instinctively, she tried to reach up to touch her own gray hair and wrinkled face.

But her handcuffed wrists were too heavy to lift.

She could only stand there, forced to stare at a woman who was the exact same age as her.

Yet Maeve was impeccably maintained, radiant, and perfectly poised.

Sitting beside her own father, with her son and future daughter-in-law sitting right in front of them.

A perfectly whole, unbroken family.

Yolanda's lips began to tremble violently.

She had spent her entire life scheming and clawing for power, only to end up with Maeve sitting there—more dignified, younger, and happier than she could ever be.

Meanwhile, Yolanda stood in the defendant's box, an old, gray-haired prisoner, abandoned by everyone, stripped of her freedom.

Why?

Why did that bitch Maeve get to walk away with everything?
