Chapter 586

The once tranquil hallway was now shattered by the thunderous footsteps of the Abernathy entourage.

Frederic, his face as cold as a winter’s frost and eyes bloodshot, marched forward, radiating an icy fury with each determined step. Those trailing in the wake of the Abernathy Group didn’t dare draw a breath too loudly

Dennis followed closely behind Frederic, keeping a stiff upper lip, yet inside, he was riding a wave of satisfaction after the court

session

He’d held his tongue for far too long.

Day in and day out, Dennis watched as Elspeth enjoyed all that should have belonged to the late Mrs. Winter. As a secretary, he had no choice but to bow and scrape, offering Elspeth reluctant respect, which gnawed at him, brewing a silent resentment.

But, thank heavens, justice seemed to finally be on the horizon.

“Mr. Abernathy,” Dennis ventured cautiously, feigning concern. “The verdict will be announced at three. Is there anything else you need to set in motion before then? If you have a plan, I’m at your service.”

Before he could finish, Frederic’s glare cut through him like a blade of Ice. His voice, raw and sharp as if torn asunder, he hissed, “Have I lost my mind, or have you? Why on earth would I lift a finger to save a despicable, vile murderess? She killed Cynthia! She took the life of the woman I loved most! Save her? I’d rather strangle her with my bare hands right now!”

Despite the crowd in the hallway, a deathly silence ensued.

Dennis immediately positioned himself to the side, his heart finally settling, whispering, “Yes, understood.”

Frederic advanced a few more steps when suddenly Glynnis collided with him, distraught and disoriented.

“Daddy.”

Glynnis froze, her body rigid as she stood before the brooding skirt.

Frederic, expressionless, stepped closer.

“Daddy, my mom. Ah!”
