Chapter 521 – The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

Filed To Story: The Scarlet Vengeance: Justice of a Framed Beauty Novel (Grace & Jason)

As for the witness… Unless Martin Weiss could rectify and give his testimony in her favor, her case would not be 100% reversed.

Instead, it would only attract public attention.

Once Grace left, Kyla Corbyn looked down at her sleeping son. with remorse in her eyes.

Nelson got hurt today because of her. If she had thought of reversing the case earlier or if she had been more vigilant and less naive, she would not have to bear the guilt and let Nelson. suffer the pain of having a criminal mother at this age.

“Didn’t the doctor say Nelson’s injury isn’t serious? You don’t have to worry about it,” said Mrs. Corbyn. She was afraid her daughter would blame herself too much.

“Mom, did I do something wrong?” murmured Kyla Corbyn.

“Do something wrong? What did you do wrong?” Mrs. Corbyn asked in confusion.

“I… shouldn’t fight for Nelson’s custody like this. Once it goes to court, the press will probably come. Then the press will magnify the fact that Nelson has an ex-convict mother and… it’ll become a burden that the child will never be able to get rid of,” said Kyla Corbyn.

What she feared and hated to see the most was Nelson getting hurt because of her!

Mrs. Corbyn said angrily, “You were wronged! It was that b*tch Paisley Daniels who did this to you! If you’re really worried about the stigma, then we’ll reverse the case. Didn’t Grace say there’s a 30% chance?”

Kyla Corbyn did not say anything more. She just stared at her son quietly. After a long while, she stood up and said, “Mom, I’m a little tired today. I’d like to go home and get some rest. I’m sorry you have to stay in the hospital to take care of

Nelson.”

Mrs. Corbyn thought it was a little strange. With her daughter’s character, she would spend the night in the hospital no matter what. However, considering how tough it was for her daughter to set up her food stall every night, she figured Kyla Corbyn must be so exhausted that her body could not take it anymore. As such, she said, “Then go home and get some rest.”

“Okay, I’ll come back tomorrow morning to take your place,” Kyla Corbyn said and left the ward.

However, after getting out of the hospital, Kyla Corbyn did not go home. Instead, she walked to the bus stop and dialed a phone number. “I’m Kyla Corbyn. I need to talk to Martin Weiss about Nelson Corbyn tonight. If it’s inconvenient for you to give me his contact information, then please help me contact him. I’ll wait for your reply!”

The phone number was the contact information of Martin Weiss’s lawyer for the custody case. The name card came with. the indictment as well as a description of the law firm and the lawyer’s contact information.

“Okay, Miss Corbyn. Please wait a moment. We’ll call you back shortly,” they said and ended the call.

Kyla Corbyn stood at the bus stop, watching the buses pa** by one after another. The October weather had cooled a little, and the night breeze was chilling as it blew past her cheek.

A few minutes later, her phone rang. She pressed the answer button and heard the lawyer’s voice. “Miss Corbyn, Mr. Weiss would like to see you,” the lawyer said and gave her the address of the hotel Martin Weiss was staying in.

Half an hour later, Kyla Corbyn arrived at the hotel. It was a famous luxury hotel in Emerald City. Martin Weiss had brought her to the presidential suite here last time.

Martin Weiss was still staying in the same hotel and room when he came to Emerald City this time.

Kyla Corbyn stared blankly at the lights at the hotel’s entrance. and took a deep breath. She put away the bitter expression on her face and entered the hotel.

On the way, no one stopped her or asked her anything. Kyla Corbyn guessed that Martin Weiss had probably told the hotel staff about her arrival, so she had a smooth journey.

It was still the same presidential suite. Kyla Corbyn walked to the door and knocked.

Moments later, the door opened, and Kyla Corbyn caught sight of Martin Weiss’s figure.

He was wearing a navy blue sleeping robe, and his face was cold. Just a glance from those deep eyes gave her the urge to run away.

Perhaps she should say that over the years, avoiding him had become a habit of hers.

After being released from prison, all she had been thinking about was how to avoid him. However, she never thought that one day, she would take the initiative to appear in front of him.

“There’s something… I want to talk to you about!” she said, but her voice sounded dry.

He stared at her for a moment and then said, “You’re not going to talk to me while you stand at the doorway, are you?” With that, he turned and walked into the room.

Kyla Corbyn clenched her teeth as she walked into the suite and closed the door.

Martin Weiss walked to the couch and sat down. He picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table and sipped it gently. “What do you want to talk about? You’re not asking me to give up custody, are you?

Kyla Corbyn’s eyes glimmered. “What if I am? Can you give it up? As long as you give up Nelson’s custody, I’ll do anything!”

“You’ll do anything?” asked Martin Weiss as he looked up at her.

“Yes!” she answered.

“What do you think I need you to do for me now?” Martin Weiss said as if he found it funny. “Give birth to a child to compensate Paisley? But we already have Nelson, or do you want to do something else? What can a food stall owner like you do for me?”

Kyla Corbyn’s face turned pale. She had nothing she could use to beg him with!

There was nothing she could offer him!

There was a long silence before she said, “Don’t you… hate. me? You hate that my father gave the Weiss family trouble. and almost destroyed the Weiss family. Therefore, you deliberately approached me to get revenge. If you think it’s not enough, you can continue with your revenge. You can hurt me however you like. It doesn’t matter!”

She only wanted him to let Nelson stay with her!

Nelson was her everything and her spiritual support. If she lost Nelson, then life would truly be dark for her.

Martin Weiss stared coldly at the person in front of him. This woman’s father had almost ruined the Weiss family.

When he found the man, he had already died ten years ago, and he could only take his revenge on this woman!

However, no one knew who was the victim in that revenge of love! He had even thought about it countless times. If he had not chosen such a way, would he not have carved that woman Kyla Corbyn so deeply into his heart?

“Revenge? He sneered. “Taking my son away from you will probably be the best revenge.”

Kyla Corbyn trembled. She seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Her somewhat pale lips quivered slightly, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with some despair.

Martin Weiss frowned slightly. Looking at the way she looked, he felt out of breath as if his chest was being weighed down by something heavy.

The scene of her setting up her food stall recurred to him.

Back then when he saw her cooking noodles and other dishes at the humble food stall in cheap clothes and an apron, his chest had also felt so heavy that he was almost breathless.

After all the years, the woman could still influence him!

“Are you really going to fight me for Nelson’s custody?” Kyla Corbyn spoke slowly after a long time.

“You should have thought of that before, shouldn’t you? How can I let my child grow up with a criminal?” Martin Weiss said, pulling no punches.

It was as if he was trying to prove that the woman in front of him could not influence him!

Kyla Corbyn only felt a trace of bitterness in her mouth. Event though she had already gotten over the man and no longer had any feelings for him, she could not stop the bitterness.

from spreading when she heard him say this.

“If… I say I didn’t push Paisley Daniels down the stairs, and

Paisley Daniels did it all on purpose, you… still won’t believe me?”

Kyla Corbyn spoke in a tone that was verging on a humble plea.

She was begging this man to trust her and not define her as a criminal. She did not care whether she was a ‘criminal’. After all, whether she was a criminal could not reverse her time in prison!

However, she did not want the ‘criminal’ identity to bring any.

harm to Nelson!

Martin Weiss seemed to have heard a joke. “Believe you? You want me to believe you? Kyla Corbyn, don’t you think it’s funny to say that now? Paisley lost a child because of you and even became infertile for life. What right do you have to raise my son?”

“I never did any of these things!” Kyla Corbyn looked straight at him. “What you see is not necessarily true. Sometimes, your eves may deceive you.”

“So you’re telling me that everything I saw that day isn’t true? My testimony is false too?” he said coldly.

She pressed her lips tightly. She had explained to him again. and again, but he did not believe her. He did not even have a trace of pity for her.

She was only humiliating herself by telling him this. He still would not believe her!

She had been branded as the daughter of his enemy from the very beginning. How could he believe her?

“I’ve never harmed anyone, and I’ve never taken a human life. Just because Paisley Daniels fell down the stairs on purpose, does that mean I committed the crime? Martin Weiss, I pleaded guilty not because I admitted to the charge, but because of your testimony!” she said. She had never done anyone any harm, but she kept getting hurt.

She was hurt by him, Paisley Daniels, and the prejudices of the world!
