Chapter 418: The Verdict

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The cell was in chaos, with Lin Miao’s hysterical outbursts echoing off the walls. Despite her dramatic display, the only response she received was a visit from a psychiatrist, who attempted to provide professional mental counseling. The police, in an effort to pacify her, agreed to contact her biological parents, allowing them a visit before the formal sentencing.

In the aftermath, Lin Miao found herself alone, staring through the iron bars of her cell. Her expression gradually grew vacant. Why had she been abandoned? She couldn’t understand. She had prepared her defense, planned her excuses for her theft, all in anticipation of her release.

She had expected forgiveness from the Gu family, driven by guilt, and from the Gong family, who would surely wish to save face. But why had things not gone as she had envisioned? After all, she was the one who had been reborn!

It was all because of Gu Zi. Her arrival had stolen everything that was rightfully Lin Miao’s. She despised Gu Zi, for without her, she would not be imprisoned.

Perhaps Lin Miao would never understand a simple truth: one’s abilities cannot control people and circumstances. Even if she had obtained some unknown luck or golden opportunities, it didn’t mean stability was guaranteed. When one’s abilities do not match what they possess, obstacles are inevitable…

News of Lin Miao’s breakdown reached Gu Shan and Zhang Mei a day later. Learning that Lin Miao had caused a ruckus in the detention center, cursing both the Gong and Gu families, Gu Shan felt a deep sense of shame. How could Lin Miao have become like this?

For a moment, Gu Shan felt a profound discomfort. He vented to Zhang Mei, “Not only has she lied, but it seems even her obedient and sensible demeanor was all an act. It’s disgraceful. Our old faces aren’t enough for her to lose!”

At this point, Zhang Mei also felt disheartened. They had only temporarily neglected Lin Miao, not abandoned her. How could she be so unreasonable, going mad in the detention center, cursing her parents and in-laws? It was outrageous. If word got out, they would surely be the subject of much ridicule.

It was only then that Zhang Mei realized, ever since Lin Miao had returned to the Gu family, people had been saying that Lin Miao’s appearance and abilities were far inferior to Gu Zi’s. She deeply regretted letting Gu Zi leave to marry in the countryside.

Wouldn’t it have been a better choice to have Gu Zi stay at home? Unfortunately, it was too late for such thoughts now.
