Elvira was aware of how much work Zach had put aside recently to be with her. She tried not to disturb him, but Zach would call her every hour to check on her.

To avoid making him worry, Elvira stayed in her office and didn't go anywhere.

Today, she planned to go to the courthouse to attend the sentencing of Amber and Judy. She informed Zach about it, and he immediately offered to cancel his work and accompany her.

Elvira quickly stopped him, saying that Grace would be going with her. He could focus on his work. She assured him she hould be back soon.

Grace also urged Zach to focus on his work, as things in Gilbert Group were not as calm as they appeared on the surface. The internal issues were felt only by those involved, and Grace wanted to share some of the burden with her brother. Relieved that Grace would be with Elvira, Zach let them go.

Grace was excited and drove Elvira to the courthouse for the trial.

When they arrived, the trial was already halfway through. They took their seats in the back row, and Elvira noticed Vincent and Karen sitting in the front row, attentively listening to the proceedings.

A few minutes later, the sentencing began. Amber was convicted of solicitation to commit murder, attempted poisoning, perjury, and aiding and abetting, sentenced to 15 years in prison, and deprived of political rights for five years. Jayden was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison, deprived of political rights for three years.

Judy was convicted of attempted murder, kidnapping, illegal possession of firearms, and poisoning, sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and deprived of political rights for life.

The three members of the family would now be reunited in prison.

When Jayden looked up, he saw Elvira sitting in the back. He suddenly went into a frenzy, shouting, "Elvira, it's your fault my daughter's in this situation! I won't let you off! I'll take your life when I get out!"

Amber and Judy also looked over when they heard his shout. Rage started to stir inside them. Amber went wild, struggling violently and cursing Elvira with every nasty word she could think of.

Grace was almost livid with anger, but Elvira remained calm and smiled faintly as she watched the chaotic trio.

Judy hated Elvira deeply. If it weren't for her, Judy believed she should have been living a life of glory at the top of the world. But now, she was doomed to spend her life in jail. She thought it would be better to die than to live like this. She felt that cursing Elvira was meaningless. Her life could never be reset, and she would forever remain a prisoner.

As Amber and Jayden were forcibly removed, Judy glared at Elvira. Her voice was filled with intense hatred. "Elvira, don't think you've won. Your suffering is just beginning! I curse you to never find happiness!"

Grace could not hold back her anger. "You're a prisoner! What right do you have to curse anyone? Elvira has found happiness, and you should stay in your prison! I'll make sure the people inside take good care of you." Grace thought Judy was a truly vile woman, still thinking about cursing others at that point.

Judy's eyes were red with rage as she was dragged away, her hatred toward Elvira almost tangible.

Hearing the commotion from the family, Vincent and Karen turned to look at Elvira. When they saw her, their eyes lit up.

Karen urged Vincent to approach Elvira, saying she needed to speak with her.

Vincent hurried over, but by this time, Elvira and Grace had already stood up and were about to leave.

Vincent suddenly blocked the path of the two women. Grace, who was already furious, said sharply, "Excuse me, you're blocking the way."

Grace was upset. She had no intention of retaliating against that miserable family, but now they were cursing or threatening revenge. Still, she knew the Gilberts were not pushovers and wouldn't be harmed easily. "Elvira, your grandmother wants to speak with you. Let's find a quiet place to talk," Vincent said with a smile.

ealizing that it was Elvira's family, Grace stopped speaking and looked at Elvira, waiting for her decision.

"I have nothing to say to you." Elvira coldly refused. Since she had severed ties with them, there was nothing left to discuss

"Elvira, are you really going to be so heartless? We're family," Vincent said with a pained expression, his eyes full of helplessness.

He had long been humbled by reality. Now that the Willis family was bankrupt, most of their possessions had been solf to pay debts. He and his mother had barely managed to keep enough to survive.

He had only come today to see the fate of those two vile women.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"You all have such short memories. I've already severed ties with you. I'm not your family," Elvira said indifferently, not wanting to speak any further, pulling Grace with her to leave.

"Elvira, I have something very important to tell you. It's about your origins." Karen stepped forward, her face darkening Elvira frowned and turned to look at her. "What exactly do you want to say?" "Judy is not of the Willis bloodline, and neither are you!" Karen said seriously.

Elvira stared at her grandmother in disbelief, as if she didn't understand what she was saying. She thought Karen was trying to play some new trick.

Vincent was just as confused. His mouth hung open in surprise. "Mom, what are you talking about? How can Elvira not be my daughter?"

"I had a paternity test done. She's not, and that's final! The only child of yours who seems to be truly yours is Marsh," Karen replied, her gaze icy. Vincent nearly fainted from anger. He turned to glare at Elvira, his eyes bloodshot.

He was furious that he had been cheated several times.

Elvira, too, was confused. She didn't understand how she could suddenly not be a Willis family member. She thought, Then who am I?'

She began to doubt the truth of Karen's words, but since this lie was so easily disproven, there was no point in calling attention to it.

Grace supported Elvira and, seeing that there were still people around, suggested, "Grace, let's find a quiet place to talk." Such a private matter shouldn't be discussed in public, after all. Elvira didn't object this time. Vincent, on the verge of breaking down, looked at his mother. "Mom, are you joking? This can't be true, right? You're just messing with me, right?" 10:41 Mon, 16 Dec

"Shut up!" Karen glared at her son in anger. At least she confirmed that Marsh was truly from the Willis family. Otherwise, she really couldn't take the blow.
