Cannot Bear To Let Go Of My Rich Wife
Chapter 826 - 844: Mum, Mum, Mum! (14)

Chapter 826: Chapter 844: Mum, Mum, Mum! (14)

When leaving the courthouse, Isabel Smith personally saw her brother, Sebastian Smith and his wife Carla Osbert being taken away in handcuffs. They no longer had their past splendor, no longer dressed in luxurious clothes. Even, at the moment the verdict was read, Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert seemed to have aged much more.

As Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert passed by Isabel Smith, their gaze was full of spite and dissatisfaction, as if they would swallow her whole at any moment.

However, Isabel Smith remained exceptionally composed and said nothing.

At this point, she knew that there was no need for her to say anything.

Heaven’s net is vast and wide but lets nothing through. In this world, there are many unknown cases of injustice and suspense. Many people who seem to have committed suicide may, in fact, have been murdered. No one knows, and no one investigates, and innocent lives vanish from the world of the living.

But most of the time, the wind leaves traces, and geese leave shadows. Perhaps when you are utterly unaware, the evil deeds you have done will become known.

A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. Past events may not be overturned, but those blinded by money and power will not let things go once they reach their goal.

If you do too many evil deeds, you must pay a price.

.....

There are still many coincidences in this world. After leaving the courthouse, Percy Stanton and Isabel Smith attended Bellshire’s annual charity banquet. That day, the sentences for Sebastian Smith and Carla Osbert’s economic crimes were handed down.

Due to repeated violations of the law and the massive funds involved in the economic case, this case would usually result in life imprisonment. However, when the two cases were combined, the final verdict was the death penalty.

If Elijah Smith had turned himself in just a bit later, Sebastian Smith and his wife would have been sent to prison by Percy Stanton, and he wouldn’t need to involve himself.

Or, alternatively, if Percy Stanton couldn’t find conclusive evidence of Sebastian Smith and his wife’s serial killings, all he had to do was wait, and he would still be able to find a new way to punish them.

It was just a little twist of fate.

If only he had avoided this, Elijah Smith would not be facing a twelve-year prison sentence now.

Twelve years, he was only twenty years old, and the best time of a man’s life. Elijah Smith had to spend it without freedom in a cell, but he had no regrets.

On the contrary, when he heard the verdict, a feeling of exhilaration filled his heart.

Just for that economic case, Sebastian Smith and his wife would not be sentenced to death. Likewise, just for the series of malicious killings by Percy Stanton, they would not be sentenced to death either.

As long as there was life imprisonment, there was room for a turnaround.

Perhaps, with good behavior in prison, they would be released early.

But now, the loss of twelve years of his freedom added the finishing touch to Sebastian Smith and his wife’s case, leading them directly to the death penalty.

All these things had come to an end, and there would be no room for reversal.

He had avenged his parents’ deep hatred and protected Isabel Smith’s safety from now on.

Twelve years in exchange for all this, Elijah Smith felt, it was worth it.

........

The annual charity banquet in Bellshire was, in fact, the largest auction event.

The world’s business tycoons would set aside ample time to attend such auctions.
