After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 198

Sully said, "If he's going to be this disobedient, I can only say I'm deeply disappointed in him. You'd better go back and talk some sense into him. For Yessenia's sake, I'm still willing to give him another chance" "What? You..." Elara was at a loss for words. He was talking as if he and Lysander were close, when in reality, Lysander couldn't care less about him.

Sully added, "I'll head out now. I don't want to disturb you." With that, he turned and left without waiting for a response. Watching his retreating figure, Elara frowned.

In the restaurant, Natalie, hearing Elara's account, said, "He's way too nosy. What does this have to do with him? Honestly, I think he's just jealous." "Jealous?" Elara echoed, raising an eyebrow.

"Jealous that Wyatt has a son. Some people are like that they're miserable themselves and can't stand to see others happy. Seriously, let's be real.

"Lysander is his biological father after all. And the Hawthorne family is so well off. Lysander would have to be crazy to walk away from the Hawthorne family." Hearing Natalie's words, Elara chuckled.

Natalie continued, "Am I wrong? Sure, it's harsh, but it's the truth. How could his life possibly be better after leaving the Hawthorne family? Why would anyone put themselves through that kind of trouble?" Elara nodded. "Okay."

"By the way," Natalie added, "I've been meaning to tell you. Jack's announcement is out."

"What announcement?" Elara asked.

"Check Twitter," Natalie said. "He's been arrested. The police released some of the details of his crimes. "Elara unlocked her phone and glanced at Twitter. Sure enough, the comments section was buzzing.

Previously, Emily had been mercilessly harassed online, with no one believing that Jack could be guilty of such things. But now, with conclusive evidence from the police, the tide had turned.

Those who had criticized Emily so harshly were now awkwardly silent, with no one stepping forward to apologize.

Natalie said, "Poor Emily. If not for this, she might've been wrongly accused until the day she died. But honestly, those internet trolls are the worst.

"They were so vicious before, and now that the truth's out, hardly anyone has the decency to apologize. If you ask me, the people who blindly followed the mob are worse than Jack himself. They should all be rounded up and thrown in jail." Natalie vented for a while before Elara's phone started ringing. She answered. It was Emily, asking if she could come over to see her. Elara told her to come by.

When Emily arrived, she seemed a little nervous. "Hi, Ms. Kensington," she greeted softly.
