Chapter 153 Do You Enjoy Watching Your Own Fam...

In the audience, many seats were filled by familles, mostly parents in their fifties and sixties who had come to support their daughters.

Brenna noticed how modestly they were dressed. Their dothes were simple, and their faces showed the wear of years spent enduring life's hardships. Some had traveled a long way just to witness the sentencing of the Moreno family,

A family of three, seated closest to the aisle, stood and thanked Thiago. The woman, in her fifties and wearing a faded plaid shirt, had tears streaming down her cheeks. "Thank you, Mr. Moreno. Without you, we might never have seen that monster face justice. My daughter carried the weight of her pain alone for so long

Thiago stepped forward and gently replied, "You don't have to thank me. I'm the one who should thank you for having the courage to testify. Just like your daughter, I'm a victim, too. And together, we'll make sure that despicable family pays for everything they've done to us."

The woman nodded and dabbed at her tears with a tissue. Standing quietly behind her was a girl with long hair, her face hidden behind a black mask and large sunglasses.

Though her features were concealed, her outfit hinted at someone once full of confidence and beauty.

Brenna guessed the girl had likely endured serious emotional trauma at the hands of the Moreno family, the kind that left deep, lasting scars. That was why she was refusing to show her face.

Other families in the audience also came forward, each expressing their gratitude to Thiago in their own way.

However, not everyone found the strength to come here. Some who had been hurt chose to remain silent, still unable to face the matter.

After a while, Thiago and Brenna took their seats in the front row and quietly waited for the trial to begin. Soon, the judge entered the courtroom, took his seat, and officially announced the start of the trial.
