Love Letters From My EX

Chapter 317 The Verdict on Makenna



Jared realized this Judy was not as simple as he thought.

She was flustered just now, but soon, she calmed down.

Besides, she had such a quick mind that she thought of the excuse for why she didn’t have a red mole in a few seconds. Her excuse was very reasonable, nearly flawless.

He wondered whether Amber and Hayden could control such an overly intelligent woman.

Once Judy betrayed them, she might cause great trouble for them!

Thinking of this, Jared took out his mobile phone and called Ben while walking towards the elevator.

“What can I do for you, Mr. Farrell?” Ben said.

Jared pursed his lips and said coldly, “I want you to have someone keep an eye on Judy in secret. Tell me if she does something strange.”

Jared must prevent anyone from troubling Amber.

Once Judy dared to betray Amber, Jared would stop Judy.

Although Ben didn’t know what Jared wanted to do, Ben nodded. “Yes, sir. Is there anything else?”

“No.” Jared hung up the phone.

On the other hand, Amber drove to the court.

Jeremy and Cole were waiting for her at the door of the court. When they saw Amber getting out of the car, they both walked to her.

“Amber.”

“Honey!”

Amber closed the car door. “How long have you been here?”

“It’s been a while, but the court isn’t open yet, so we have to wait outside.” Jeremy handed Amber a cup of milk tea that he had bought a few minutes ago.

Amber took it. “Thank you, Jere.”

“You are welcome.” Jeremy smiled gently.

Cole pointed to the opposite side, “Honey, those reporters are watching you.”

Amber drank the milk tea and looked in the direction Cole pointed, only to see that a group of reporters were taking pictures of her.

If it were not for the armed police stationed outside the court, these reporters would have rushed over.

After all, Makenna’s fate depended on this trial, and these reporters all want to know how Amber was feeling at the moment.

“Amber, ignore them, and don’t let them spoil the mood,” Jeremy glanced at the reporters and spoke.

Amber snorted. “Of course, but what if they recognize you?”

Although Jeremy was wearing a hat and a mask, his height and figure distinguished him from the crowds, so it is easy to recognize him.

Jeremy shrugged. “So what? I don’t care.”

“It will affect your career,” Amber said.

Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll get a new job soon.”

“What do you mean?” Amber and Cole glanced at each other, and then looked at Jeremy at the same time.

“Boy, are you planning to resign?” Cole put his hands on Jeremy’s shoulders.

Jeremy broke free of Cole’s hands and smiled at Amber. “Yes, but I’m still thinking about it.”

“Why do you want to resign?” Amber frowned. “You aspired to be the top model in the world, right? Jere, did something happen?”

Amber wondered why Jeremy gave up.

Jeremy looked down. “No, I just feel tired and want to rest for a while.”

“Really?” Amber narrowed her eyes and didn’t trust him.

Jeremy smiled and waved his hand. “Well, Amber, I don’t want to talk about this now. The door is open. Let’s get in.”

Amber turned her head to look at the court door behind her and found that it was indeed open, so she nodded. “Okay, let’s go.”

After they entered the court, those who had been granted seats to watch the trial also walked in.

Shortly after that, Trenton and Mrs. Gardner arrived.

Amber looked Trenton and Mrs. Gardner in the eye. Trenton and Mrs. Gardner had hateful and cold eyes, but Amber was not afraid at all. Besides, she even smiled, which irritated them.

This trial was broadcast live, so people could watch it online.

Soon, Makenna was brought up.

These days, she has been detained in the detention center. She couldn’t eat or sleep well. Coupled with the psychological pressure, she had a great weight loss.

If it weren’t for her fair skin, Amber would have mistaken Makenna for Judy Lashley.

In short, Makenna looked as malnourished as Judy, who had just come from the countryside. Makenna appeared to be too weak to keep her balance.

Seeing this, Mrs. Gardner covered her mouth and cried in distress.

Although Trenton resented Makenna, he felt very sorry for her now. Therefore, he shook his head helplessly.

A crack silenced the crowd!

As the judge banged on the desk with his gavel, the trial began.

In fact, this trial wouldn’t make any difference. The evidence that Makenna tried to murder Amber was exposed to everyone, so this trial was a mere formality.

Cole looked at Amber’s attorney, who was arguing with Makenna’s, and was reminded of something. Cole turned his head to Amber and said, “Honey, there is some bad news. I think I should tell you.”

“What is it?” Amber looked at Cole.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Jeremy knew what Cole was going to say, so Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “What he wants to say should be what the attorney told us before you came.”

“What on earth did my attorney say?” Seeing Jeremy’s and Cole’s solemn faces, Amber became serious.

Cole rubbed between his brows. “Before you came, your attorney told us that Makenna might not be sentenced to jail. She may well get probation.”

“Probation?” Amber clenched her fists suddenly, obviously dissatisfied with the result.

Amber wanted Makenna to be in jail rather than have probation.

Cole naturally knew this, so he thought it was bad news.

“Yes, the attorney said that it is true that Makenna tried to murder you, but you were not hurt, so it is an attempted murder, and the punishment won’t be severe.”

“How ridiculous!” Amber’s face flushed with anger.

Cole sighed. “What’s more, the attorney also said that even if she framed you, the result would be the same. She looks weak now. Although she is sentenced, she won’t be locked up in prison, and this normally would turn into probation.”

Amber bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Probation?

How ironic!

Amber always wanted to put Makenna in jail, and Amber thought she would succeed this time.

But in the end, Makenna would get probation.

That was too disappointing.

For a time, Amber felt very upset, and the mood around her was subdued.

Cole and Jeremy knew why she got upset.

They were also very dissatisfied, but they couldn’t do anything about it.

As time passed by, the trial ended.

The verdict on Makenna came out. As the attorney said, Makenna was sentenced to five years’ probation.

In the following five years, Makenna was not allowed to leave Olkmore, and she had to wear shackles and be under the supervision of the police at all times. Once Makenna did anything illegal, she would be imprisoned.

If Makenna behave herself, she would be free after five years. And if she did what was righteous, she would even get a commutation.

In other words, apart from being supervised, Makenna was free and could live as before, but she can’t do bad things.

Amber couldn’t accept such a verdict. She wanted to appeal but was stopped by her attorney.
