To Be Yours Again novel (Alec and Jenny) novel Chapter 1224

The incident put Eric in a horrible light, so his trial soon came. Jenny didn't go to court for his hearing, but she did see some news about it from the media.

Eric thought he still had a chance to escape, so he continued to deny his guilt in court until the prosecution presented the data of the people who died under his hands. With that, he was utterly silenced.

It wasn't because of guilt that he decided to shut up, but because he understood one thing. If the prosecution could obtain the information, it meant there was a traitor in the Dafoes who had leaked his wrongdoings to the prosecution.

When he was still contemplating who the traitor could be, Pete appeared in court as a witness, and everything became clear to him instantly. Pete testified that he saw Eric kill those people with his own eyes, and he also revealed many of Eric's other illegal activities.

Eric didn't refute any of it. From the moment Pete appeared in court, he knew he couldn't turn the tables this time. But at that moment, he didn't care about his crimes being brought to justice in court. He stared at Pete and asked blankly, "Why?"

He couldn't understand why, as a Dafoe himself, Pete would do something that harmed the interests of the Dafoe family. Didn't he know that speaking out about these things could be fatal to the Dafoes?

"I just think that the Dafoes should take a different path." Indeed, the former Dafoe family did all sorts of evil deeds and ruled the city, but so what? In the end, nothing good would await them, considering all the sins they'd committed.

Pete wouldn't let this opportunity to change his family for the better pass him by. Eric understood the meaning behind his words and chuckled, not offering any rebuttal.

The verdict for Eric came out quickly. His deeds were unforgivable, and he was sentenced to death, unsurprisingly.
