Blake leaned against the wall by the door, while Lilly nestled her face on her father’s lap. Josh let out a sigh, expressing his weariness. At that moment, the door on the first floor opened, and Barry came out with a small bag. Still groggy, he quickly noticed Blake and the others wiping away their tears, prompting him to say, “Let’s go…”

Barry was being held in custody until his sentencing.

The girl’s body was returned to her grieving parents. Learning about the incident, the parents found it impossible not to hold Barry responsible.

After all, that was their daughter, a real person. Denying the truth would not bring her back.

Consequently, they did not show any understanding, and Barry was sentenced to a two-year prison term for hiding a corpse.

The police issued a notice, considering Barry’s family circumstances, where they withheld his full name and surname. They only mentioned that an off-duty power company employee had received a call to check on something. The notice also explained the relatively short duration of the prison sentence.

It was expected that the official announcement would quell the rampant speculation and rumors circulating on the internet.

However, the prominent influencers remained silent for an extended period.

The controversy surrounding the matter was immense. Barry had acted out of good intentions and a sense of responsibility. He acted alone, while it was the workers who had deliberately evaded their duties.

Barry was also innocent in a way.

But the girl’s parents were also in a pitiable state. They had searched for their daughter for over a month, only to face such a tragic ending—her body torn into two pieces.

Blake managed to keep Barry’s identity a secret, so the influencers would fail to locate Barry and the others involved in the accident, instead discovering the girl’s parents.

“Your daughter is so pitiful… I haven’t been able to sleep for three days after reading the news. From now on, I’ll be your daughter!”

This was their attempt to visit Tracy’s parents, shedding crocodile tears.
