‘Did George Gregory send someone to follow me?’ Amber Mitchell’s heart sank. If she had entered Stan Lucas’s ward and talked to Stan Lucas just now, George Gregory would have known that she came to the hospital for Stan Lucas!
Perhaps George Gregory would bribe Stan Lucas like how he bribed those doctors.
Therefore, Amber Mitchell pretended to be looking for a ward. She continued walking and lingered in front of another ward. Finally, she went to the nurses’ station, made up a name, and asked if the patient had checked in. After receiving a negative answer, she left the hospital.
George Gregory’s eyes showed a touch of confusion after hearing his subordinates report Amber Mitchell’s whereabouts. ‘Did she come to the hospital to see a patient? But the patient she’s looking for isn’t here.
‘Could it be a coincidence? Or is there something else I don’t know?’
Amber Mitchell called Brian after leaving the hospital. Brian had given her his contact information, stating he would help her whenever she needed it.
She wanted to ask the Moss family for help with the matter regarding Stan Lucas, but George Gregory probably had his eyes on the Moss family too if he had even sent someone to follow her. Brian was not deeply involved with them and was an outsider. George Gregory’s men would probably not keep an eye on him.
After all, George Gregory would not be able to find out much about Brian for a while.
When the call got through, Amber Mitchell said what she wanted. “Mr. Hart, I can email you the details.
I wonder if you can help me? Stan Lucas is probably the only solid witness who can confirm that Louise Mitchell’s guilty.”
Brian readily replied, “Okay, I’ll help you. I’ll get you the results as soon as possible.”
“Thank you,” Amber Mitchell said gratefully. Of course, she knew very well that Brian was willing to help her only because of Grace.
Sometimes, she felt like she was looking at Herman when seeing Brian. Although it was a hopeless relationship, he still tried his best to make the person he liked happy.
Such relationships were precious, but she did not understand them at that time. Now that she had, Herman was already gone.
‘What about Brian? Is his love life going to be like this for the rest of his life? Or will he one day meet a woman who’s worthy of his affections and who’ll return his affections?
‘It would be such a pity if that man’s love life is going to be like this for the rest of his life.’
Louise Mitchell was staring darkly at her hand in the detention center. She still could not move her right middle finger because George Gregory had broken it.
Louise Mitchell crooned, “George, don’t let me down! I’m waiting for you to get me out of here!”
Since Simon was seriously ill, it would be best if he died! She could find another way to get another child anyway, and that WA child would not have traces of Amber Mitchell in them!
As the court session approached, Deer City’s media outlets also reported the relevant content. The news went viral, becoming the talk of tMason Swansonly.
However, Amber Mitchell’s history with Herman Moss and George Gregory was brought up again.
There were all sorts of comments online, including those who felt sorry for Herman Moss and those who thought George Gregory was unlucky for having his former girlfriend and his current wife in a lawsuit. To make matters worse, both were half-sisters. How complicated! Others sympathized with Amber Mitchell and hoped she could get justice for herself.
Of course, some netizens said Amber Mitchell deserved it. She was George Gregory’s fiancée but seduced Herman Moss and was sent to the mental hospital. They found it exhilarating.
Amber Mitchell brushed off such comments.
After experiencing so many things, she no longer cared about the opinions of people who did not matter.
All she could think about was making Louise Mitchell pay- not only for sending her to a mental hospital but also for killing Herman!
‘Herman… Herman was so nice, but Louise Mitchell killed him!’
“Herman, I’ll get justice for you!” Amber Mitchell murmured. On the day of the trial, reporters swarmed outside the courthouse. Amber Mitchell and the Moss family were all present. When Amber Mitchell got out of the car, the reporters swarmed at her, almost surrounding her and leaving her immobilized.
Fortunately, security guards at the courthouse helped block the reporters away, and she was able to enter.
In the courtroom, Amber Mitchell saw George Gregory in the gallery.
George Gregory was dressed in a black suit today, and his handsome face was expressionless. When his eyes saw her, he only gave her a faint glance before he shifted his gaze away.
Amber Mitchell recalled what he had said that day in the hospital.
She had made an enemy out of him, and she would accept whatever the consequences were!
When the trial started, Amber Mitchell saw her father, stepmother, and… Louise Mitchell at the plaintiff’s table.
However, Louise Mitchell looked well compared to her father and stepmother. She seemed confident.
Amber Mitchell stared at Louise Mitchell. Louise Mitchell must believe that George Gregory would save her this time!
However, she would not give them what they wanted!
The trial began. Lawyer Gan represented Amber Mitchell, and famous lawyers in Deer City helped the three members of the Mitchell family. Three lawyers represented each of the three defendants.
In the courtroom, the witnesses’ testimonies steered clear of Louise Mitchell and established that Louise Mitchell was innocent. In the end, all the blame was directed at Mr. Mitchell and her stepmother.
The two had been talked into protecting their youngest daughter, so they ‘voluntarily’ confessed in court.
Of course, their confession only stated that they ‘mistakenly believed’ that their daughter was mentally ill and they wanted her to be treated in the hospital. They only transferred the money to the doctors and the nurses who took care of Amber Mitchell so that they could provide their daughter with better treatment.
They thought their daughter hurt herself when she had a mental breakdown!
Louise Mitchell only stated she knew nothing about it. She always thought her sister was ill, so she often visited Amber Mitchell in the hospital. During those times, Amber Mitchell had behaved like a real mental patient.
All in all, the case was indeed as tough as Lawyer Gan said.
Even if the final chain of evidence could prove that the Mitchell family committed bribery and that Amber Mitchell was abused in the hospital, Louise Mitchell could still get acquitted.
The trial lasted three days.
On the third day of the trial, the judge sentenced Mr. Mitchell and Amber Mitchell’s stepmother to three years in prison, while Louise Mitchell was acquitted on the spot.
Louise Mitchell’s face instantly burst into a smirk. Sure enough, she was not found guilty in the end!
George Gregory still had some tricks up his sleeve!
She still emerged as the winner!
Lawyer Gan, who was at Amber Mitchell’s side, consoled Amber Mitchell by saying, “In any case, at least two people have been sentenced now. As for Louise Mitchell, we can sue her again if we find new evidence.” Amber Mitchell replied in acknowledgment, but she knew that George Gregory must have made full preparations since he was helping Louise Mitchell with the lawsuit this time.
Her father and stepmother took all the blame to ‘clear’ Louise Mitchell’s name. She could tell that her father and stepmother had also bet all their hopes on Louise Mitchell, believing they would be released from prison sooner as long as Amber Mitchell was safe.
Everything that the Mitchell family owned could also be preserved.
When the trial ended, Louise Mitchell came over from the defendant’s table, looked smugly at Amber Mitchell, and said in a voice that only they could hear, “What a pity, Sis. You couldn’t get what you wished for. Even the law has proven I’m innocent. Maybe you need to find another way to send me to jail, Sis.”
Amber Mitchell looked at her coldly. “You know full well whether you’re innocent or not, Louise Mitchell.
You can escape once but not twice.”
“Really? Let’s see whether it’ll be you or me who will suffer, Sis.” Louise Mitchell smiled faintly before turning around and walking to George Gregory’s side. She took George Gregory’s arm affectionately, looking like a loving couple.
George Gregory glanced indifferently at Louise Mitchell but did not reject her intimacy in front of everyone.
Louise Mitchell was instantly smugger as she gently pressed her face to George Gregory’s arm.
“George, let’s go.” George Gregory then walked out of the court with Louise Mitchell, but his eyes still glanced at Amber Mitchell when they left.
Even he could not explain it. The outcome of the case was exactly as he had expected, but he felt no joy at all. Instead, he felt guilty as if he had committed a crime.
Rather, he had indeed committed a crime. He knew who was responsible for making Amber Mitchell a mental patient, but he was still trying to exonerate and save that person.
When George Gregory and Louise Mitchell walked out of the courtroom, a crowd of reporters instantly surrounded them and bombarded them with questions.
Louise Mitchell pretended to look sad. “I’m sad. Both parties are my family. I think my father and mother might have other reasons for what they did to Sis. But for what it’s worth, I believe that the law is fair.
Since Mom and Dad did Sis wrong, they should be punished by the law.”
After a pause, Louise Mitchell said, “I also blame myself for not finding this out sooner. If Sis had trusted me more and told me the truth earlier, maybe I could have saved her sooner. I hope Sis will trust me after this incident. We’ll always be sisters!”
The words were uttered with such affection that those who did not know them would think that she loved her sister very much.
