August had only just begun when Tessa received a string of good news.

Hazel was a prime suspect in a sexual assault case. The police had sufficient evidence against her, so they transferred her case file to the prosecutor's office. By mid-August, the prosecutor's office officially filed a public prosecution with the

court.

At the same time, Jacobson Corporation's acquisition of the companies that belonged to Syntra Group was in full swing.

Compared to Hazel, Bruno suffered a much worse fate. He was bedridden in the hospital, and it took over a month for his injuries to heal. However, the moment he was discharged from the hospital, he was taken away by the police.
