Chapter 715: Chapter 733: The Most Surprising Conjecture (6)

On the day of the trial, Percy Stanton woke up early and turned on the TV in the bathroom to watch the weather forecast, which predicted thunderstorms for the day.

After coming out of the bathroom, Percy woke up Isabel Smith, and the family of three had breakfast together. After dropping Raymond Thompson off at School, Percy took Isabel to the courthouse.

The Thompson Empire Group’s legal team was efficient and fierce. Though Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert had backup lawyers, the presence of Theodore Bundy and his friend, who had been bribed by them initially, and the transaction records presented left no doubt about the outcome of the trial.

Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert were found guilty of multiple premeditated murders, causing serious injuries to the victim, Percy Stanton, resulting in a life imprisonment sentence for them both.

Finally, when the judge announced the sentencing of Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert, Isabel Smith’s heart experienced an unprecedented sense of peace, albeit momentarily.

As they left the courthouse, Isabel witnessed Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert being handcuffed and escorted away. The couple had lost their earlier grandiose appearance and were no longer dressed in luxurious attire. Even as the judge read the verdict, Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert looked aged and decrepit.

As they passed Isabel, they stared at her with a hateful and discontented gaze, like they could devour her any moment.

But surprisingly, Isabel remained calm and didn’t say a word.

At this point, she knew she didn’t need to say anything.

Justice eventually prevails. There are many unsolved and unknown cases of injustice in the world, and behind some, lies conspiracy and murder. If no one knows, no one pursues, and innocent lives slip away.

However, most of the time, the harm people do is eventually discovered, whether anyone knows it or not.

Revenge is best served cold and actions have consequences.

...

There are many coincidences in life. Percy and Isabel attended a yearly charity banquet held in Bellshire on the same day they left the courthouse. That afternoon, the verdict on Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert’s economic crime case was delivered.

As they committed multiple offenses and the economic case involved huge amounts of money, they were originally sentenced to life imprisonment. In the end, combining the two cases led to a death sentence.

Hadten-year-old Elijah Smith turned himself in a bit later, Sebastian and his wife would have been sent to prison by Percy, and he wouldn’t have jeopardized himself in the process.

Alternatively, if Percy hadn’t found evidence of the couple’s continuous murders, he could have waited for some time and still find new ways to punish them eventually.

Just a little coincidence.

If he had avoided it, Elijah Smith wouldn’t have been sentenced to a twelve-year prison term now.

Twelve years – that’s the best time of a man’s life. Elijah Smith would spend this time in a freedomless jail, but he had no regrets at all.

On the contrary, even when he heard the verdict, he felt an overwhelming sense of release.

Sebastian Smith and his wife would not be sentenced to death solely for their economic crime, nor for the malicious serial murder case involving Percy.

As long as they were given a life sentence, there would still be room for a reprieve.

With good behavior in jail, they might be released early.

But now, the twelve years Elijah lost added the finishing touch to Sebastian Smith and his wife’s fate, resulting in them directly being sentenced to death.
