Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 302

By late April, the weather in Cabinda was already warming up. The streets were a chaotic mix of wardrobes, with everyone silently judging each other's terrible transitional outfits. Bonnie would leave the house in a jacket in the morning, only to strip it off by noon and walk around in a short-sleeved shirt.

In the two months since Lawrence's car accident, Bonnie had been running on fumes, completely swamped by the sheer volume of things demanding her attention. It felt as though every loose end of her life had knotted together at once, but she knew that once she untangled them, the road ahead would finally be clear.

On the day of the trial, Bonnie saw Hannah again.

Her time in the detention center had finally broken the arrogant swan, forcing her to lower the stubborn head she had always held so high. Yet, as Bonnie watched Hannah stand before the court to face judgment, she felt an absolute, unshakable peace.

Hannah didn't turn back to look at her family sitting in the gallery. She hadn't hired a defense attorney. She pleaded guilty to all charges and accepted the heavy hand of the law.

When the judge delivered the verdict, his solemn voice echoing through the courtroom brought a profound sense of closure to Bonnie's heart.

"...The defendants, Hannah, Nana, and Penn, are charged with picking quarrels and provoking trouble, criminal insult, and obstruction of justice. This court formed a collegiate bench and held a public hearing for this case. The facts established through the trial are as follows:"

"Under the direction of defendant Hannah, defendant Nana used overseas communication software to contact defendant Penn. Penn then hired individuals to repeatedly deliver foul and hazardous items to the victim's residence and sent harassing and threatening messages, culminating in an attempted public assault that severely disrupted the victim's life.

As a public figure, defendant Hannah leveraged online platforms to incite unaware netizens, orchestrating a sustained cyberbullying campaign against the victim. She spread malicious falsehoods, which generated millions of clicks, shares, and views, causing severe damage to the victim's social reputation.

The charges brought forward by the prosecution are upheld.

The verdict is as follows: Defendant Hannah is sentenced to seven years for provoking trouble, two years for criminal insult, and two and a half years for obstruction of justice. The sentences are combined for a total execution of ten years in prison.

Defendant Nana is sentenced to three and a half years for provoking trouble and one year for criminal insult, combined for a total execution of four years in prison.

Defendant Penn is sentenced to three years for provoking trouble and six months for criminal insult, combined for a total of three years and three months in prison, alongside a fine of thousands of dollars and immediate deportation."
