Negotiating With Valton
Almero walked out of the courtroom with a heart filled with joy, his shoulders feeling lighter as he had just released the burden that had been weighing on them. Almero walked beside Caroll, while Edeline walked beside her father.The media immediately swarmed and fired questions, but the four remained silent. Meanwhile, the guards quickly formed a circle, preventing any news-seekers from approaching. Almero stopped in his tracks when he saw a woman wearing a mask and sunglasses staring at him among the crowd of reporters."Renia," Almero said softly, so that no one could hear. He withdrew his grin before finally walking away. He ignored the middle-aged woman anymore; he left her alone to face this cruel life."Mr. Almero, tell me something. How do you feel now that your reputation has been restored?" asked a middle-aged reporter.Almero sighed, noticing the sweat pouring from the man's forehead. Unable to bear it, he stopped again and spoke. "I feel so happy, and I've been waiting f
Judge's Sentence
"You con man!" shouted a reporter standing not far from the four prisoners.The faces of Gabe, Okan, Jeff, and Yoe immediately paled, the four of them utterly ashamed of the public's abuse."Is embezzling company funds not enough?" shouted another, his chest heaving with emotion. He focused his gaze on Gabe, who still had his head bowed."All this time, I thought you were a kind, generous man who always set aside a portion of your income to share with the orphans in the orphanage, but who would have thought that behind that kind demeanor, you were hiding such a grave crime!" a middle-aged woman spoke through clenched teeth. She was a friend of the late Mrs. Caroll; she had come to this courthouse to see the bastard receive the punishment he deserved."Poor Eliza! She committed suicide after being abused by you! You animal-hearted person!" another of Mrs. Caroll's friends began to speak up. Gabe, still looking down, gasped in surprise. He hadn't expected them to bring up Eliza—his for
Atmosphere in Front of Court
That afternoon, the atmosphere in front of the courthouse was much more crowded than usual. Dozens of journalists had filled the courtyard since the sun was still high. Television cameras were set up at various angles, while reporters busily sought the best positions to capture images and statements from the parties involved in the trial. Today was a day many had been waiting for, all awaiting the verdicts to be handed down to the suspects.The trial of Gabe, Okan, Jeff, and Yoe had finally begun. However, they were not the only case implicated. The embezzlement of company funds was one of the main issues that had tarnished their reputations. The good reputations they had cultivated for decades were now irreparably damaged, and they were surely unable to lift their heads, as the shame clearly gnawed at their hearts like a bloodsucking leech.Gabe was suspected of playing a key role in the embezzlement and misuse of company funds. His actions caused significant losses and dragged sever
Time for the Trial
This morning, dew dripped onto the branches of the trees in the Xander family's yard. The morning sun was beginning to warm the earth, and many people were going about their morning activities. However, in one of the luxurious rooms in the Xander family home, a husband and wife were still fast asleep, embracing each other, as if they didn't want to be separated.Sunlight quietly peeked through the cracks in the window, illuminating part of the room. Almero slowly opened his eyes, wiping the dirt from the corners of his eyes. Gradually, his vision began to clear. He was now staring at his wife's beautiful face, sound asleep.Almero lowered his gaze and saw his wife's arms still wrapped around his waist, sleeping comfortably with her lips slightly parted. Believe me, this didn't diminish Edeline's beauty in the slightest. Her face, in fact, looked adorable and innocent in her sleep.Almero slowly pulled the blanket over his wife, as if he didn't want her smooth, porcelain-white body to
It Turns Out They're Mutually in Love
Almero entered his room and looked around, which was filled with darkness. Edeline seemed to be asleep, so she turned off the lights. He walked to the closet and took out his black pajamas. He then headed to the bathroom to change.Almero had already changed into his pajamas and was still standing near his wife's bed, his heart filled with a dilemma. Edeline was angry with him, so he decided to sleep on the floor tonight. He didn't want to upset her further by sleeping so close together. But before he could put the pillow down, the silence in the room was suddenly shattered by his wife's voice."Do you want to sleep on the floor forever?" Edeline asked, her voice cold yet full of concern.Almero was surprised and didn't expect his wife to still be awake. He immediately looked at her and said, "Isn't Miss angry with me? I'm afraid she won't want to sleep in the same bed with me tonight." "Stop talking so much, you should get on the bed. From now on, no matter what happens, never sleep
Jealousy Is a Sign of Love
Almero walked over to the dining table where his wife and father-in-law were already seated. Valton's gaze was wistful as he met hers. Meanwhile, Edeline immediately looked away, as if to show she didn't want him there.Almero pulled out a chair for her to sit on. "Sorry if I kept you waiting," he said politely to his father-in-law."We just sat down at this dining table, too; don't overdo it," Valton said, glancing at his daughter. "We should just eat now before this gets cold and loses its flavor."Almero nodded in response, quickly picking up some rice and side dishes and placing them on his plate. Everyone was busy finishing their plates, filling the dining table with the sound of forks and spoons clinking against each other. After dinner, the three of them decided to gather in the garden in front of Xander's house, as it was the most comfortable place to spend time, especially at night.In addition to flowers, the garden also boasted a 20-meter-tall fountain surrounded by colorf
