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.

All the crimes he had committed during his time in Sudmere had been exposed. Stephen had even sent his men to aid the police's efforts, helping them collect evidence to expedite the investigation process. As a result, the investigations into Bruno's crimes were concluded swiftly.

Bruno was a suspect in many crimes, including rape, manslaughter, and causing disturbances. Although Adrian had publicly disowned Bruno some time ago, Stephen wasn't going to let the Tatum family off the hook that easily.

Bruno was able to behave so barbarically in Sudmere only because he had relied on his powerful family status for protection. He had abused Adrian's authority to get away with his crimes.
