Questioned by Julian, Tristin was unable to say a word. He did not expect Phil and Julian could find his past history of wrongdoing.
He indeed slept with Gracie several times, but he had no feelings for her. Since she threw herself at him, he would satisfy her and he wouldn't suffer any loss anyway.
"Actions have an impact."
"Tristin, you're studying law too, but you deliberately break the law. Very impressed."
Julian's taunts made Tristin look up at him.
Julian asked him, "Are you waiting for your parents? Or are you waiting for them to hire a lawyer for you?"
Tristin pursed his lips and averted his eyes.
His parents were all he could count on at present.
That woman in Nortopia had been out from the company, so she wouldn't be bothered with his life or death.
Julian informed him, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Your parents have made it clear that they won't hire a lawyer for you or spend any more money on you."
Tristin looked up at him with startled eyes.
He couldn't believe his parents were so heartless!
But the next second he slumped down. He had no choice but to believe Julian's words. Ever since he entered the police station, he tried every means to contact his parents, but never got any response from them.
He thought they would contact and help him after their anger dissipated.
But it was not until Julian said those words to him that he realized his parents were determined to leave him to die.
Julian said lightly, "Your parents are smart. They know you're hopeless, so they would rather keep the money for a restful retirement than help you do bad things. After all, you stand no chance to take care of them in the current situation."
Julian's words made Tristin look more flustered and paler since they did make a lot of sense.
Julian lost interest in spending time with Tristin. He rose gracefully, looked at Tristin, and said word for word, "Committing a crime is the lowest and stupidest form of revenge, and you are now eating your bitter fruit."
"Last word. Wish you a happy and joyful prison life."
After finishing speaking, Julian turned around and left without looking back, and this last word sounded so ironic that Tristin couldn't say a word, but pursed her lips tightly, lost in thought.
Julian, who had reached the door, stopped again and turned back with a light smile and said, "Oh, by the way, Phil is out of danger and Anya has an acceptable recovery. Their daughter..."
"Although she's in the incubator, the doctor said she is strong and healthy. I believe that she will be no different from a normal baby when she's mature. I'm confident that she will be safe and sound."
"They're all fine. Sorry to disappoint you."
After that, Julian left.
When the heavy cell door was closed, Tristin blacked out and fainted.
The guards came over to check on him and found that he was fine.
He fainted probably because he couldn't stand Julian's insulting taunts and he had been under too much mental stress recently.
Even if Tristin regretted what he had done, there was no turning back. He would be punished legally and abandoned by his family completely.
