Queen Revenge

No one expected the duo of Walker Richter and Susan Su, who were supposed to be at the hotel, to show up.

Walker Richter’s face was a bit pale, as soon as Ben Richter saw him, he slowly loosened his grip on my hand, the corners of his mouth lifted up lightly, “Second brother, why did you come back, today is the wedding day of you and your younger sibling.”

“Su said to come back.” Walker Richter gazes tenderly at Susan Su beside him, never looking at me from start to finish.

Susan Su smiled, “A hotel is no where near as good as home, Walker isn’t well, I’m going to come and pick up a few things and then move to Pear orchard after Walker.”

When I heard the word Pear orchard, I felt a pang of sadness in my heart that Susan Su was going to move into Pear orchard bright and early after all.

I suddenly realized that I was a joke standing here, and surprisingly, Nancy Richter relieved me of my embarrassment at this time by saying in a particularly bad tone of voice, “Alva Hill, what are you standing around for, why don’t you get out of here.”

Instead of standing around watching them love each other, I should have left, and Nancy Richter gave me just the step to leave.

I kept my head down, didn’t say anything, didn’t dare look away, and brushed right past Walker Richter.

I’m thankful that Walker Richter said nothing and treated me like I was transparent at this point in time to keep me from being too much of a mess.

Leaving THE Richter family’s old mansion, I waited for the throbbing pain in my heart to pass before I hailed a cab.

The driver asked me, “Where is the little girl going?”

I don’t know where to go either.

Looking out the car window, I said, “Just drive.”

I looked at myself reflected in the car window, and it dawned on me that I was just under twenty-four, and yet I had lived myself to death, with no light in my eyes, and a smile on my face that I didn’t know when I had ever seen.

I pulled out my cell phone and looked at it, it still had two percent charge, I sent a message to Fiona Croix and let the driver drive back to the rental.

I turned my cell phone off, locked the door to my room, and headed to bed for three days of great sleep at home.

The day of the Ulysses Will case, I got up early in the morning, got cleaned up and went straight to the courthouse.

Fiona Croix and Martin Mo are also here, Martin Mo didn’t find out anything about Bella Hill’s loss of her child, and there’s no telling what will happen in court today, Martin Mo hired the best lawyer for Ulysses Will, but if Ulysses Will doesn’t fight, and has to plead guilty, there’s nothing that can be done about it.

The three of us went in together, Martin Mo several times to say, I know what he wants to say, Walker Richter married, I have not seen anyone at home, just now Fiona Croix whispered to me, Martin Mo afraid that I can not think of it, the past few days have been outside the door to guard, see me to order takeout, personally go out to pick up the takeout, and that is to rest assured.

Martin Mo didn’t say anything, so I just ignored it, and shortly after taking my seat, Ulysses Will was brought up.

Ulysses Will just got a little bit of fame, and after today, it will all be ruined.

There could still be a lot of reporters outside the courthouse.

Ulysses Will, much emaciated and handcuffed, stood at the defense table, his eyes reddening as his gaze came over, and he didn’t dare look our way again after that.

Martin Mo said, somewhat angrily, “And he knows he has no face to see us.”

“Less talk at this hour.” Fiona Croix asked, “Martin Mo, is the lawyer you hired any good, what happens when Ulysses Will is convicted later.”

It’s something we all worry about.

Martin Mo’s face stares down as the trial has begun.

The prosecutor began by describing the case.

Ulysses Will didn’t know Selina Versta at all, and when the attorney hired by Martin Mo asked Ulysses Will when he met Selina Versta, how he killed Selina Versta, and what his motive was.

Ulysses Will had already prepared a speech, and made up a perfect lie, the motive for the murder was: “I was drunk, and my temper came up, so I killed her by accident, and then I was afraid that things would be exposed, so I sealed her inside the wall.”

They say that people who create are crazy, and featuring a human bone for a painting isn’t absurd for those who make art, but Ulysses Will isn’t the type of person who is obsessed with the idea, let alone going on a killing spree.

Getting drunk and killing someone is not a good reason, yet it’s one that can’t be refuted.

The thought of killing was just a momentary one.

The attorney asked a few more questions, and Ulysses Will was able to answer them all, even the first crime scene, what the tools of the trade were and where they were thrown.

Upon hearing Ulysses Will’s answers, even the details, Martin Mo and I looked at each other and thought something was wrong.

And that’s when Martin Mo an acquaintance approached him and whispered something in his ear.

When the men had gone, Martin Mo looked serious and said, “Someone went to see Ulysses Will yesterday.”

“You mean… Randy Pan?”

Martin Mo nods.

I also wonder what Randy Pan said to Ulysses Will that could make Ulysses Will take the fall until now.

Just then, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the audience.

Bella Hill is here.

She was sitting in the corner, wearing a black dress and sunglasses.

It was to be expected that she would come, except that I was impressed that she could hold out until now and remain indifferent.

As the trial drew to a close, the outcome was clear: there was no escaping the scapegoat that was Ulysses Will.

The judge asked Ulysses Will if he had any more objections, and he shook his head and pleaded guilty.

The court breaks midway through the trial, and the trial begins in twenty minutes, at which time the results of the trial will be announced.

I was so distraught that Martin Mo said, “I’m going to meet Ulysses Will.”

At this point in time, it’s only Martin Mo who gets to meet Ulysses Will.

I went outside with Fiona Croix to get some air, and as it happened, Bella Hill was there.

She saw me and came towards me, “He’s really tough-talking, he even gave up his life for you, just like back then when he rushed into the fire without any hesitation to get you out.”

“Bella Hill, you’re really mad aren’t you, Ulysses Will is doing this all for you, don’t you realize who he’s taking the fall for.” I gasped.

Bella Hill laughs mockingly, “You’re the one who’s not sure, Alva Hill, you really believe all that crap Ulysses Will said about loving me, isn’t it enough to say that he’d even risk his own life to rush in and save you? He married me because of you and turned himself in because of you because …”

Bella Hill came up to my ear and said, “I lied to him that I would tell him where your daughter was if he took the rap, and he did turn himself in.”

What?

I never knew that.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Bella Hill laughed at herself, “Let it all end today, I’ll never have to watch him love you again, that’s what happens when you go negative on me.”
