Chapter 31

The lawyer told Sonia that she could appeal the courts decision, but there would be no point since the judges would still maintain their initial adjudication. Im so mad!Charles slammed his fist against the seat. Carl didnt say much and simply lowered his head as if he was thinking about something

Sonia watched as Tina was brought out of the courtroom, Titus and Julia following behind her. Titus and Julia seémed to notice Sonias gaze as they both turned around to flash her looks of victory. Julia, in particular, looked as if she wanted to walk right up to Sonias face just to laugh at her

In the past few days, Julia had been running around seeking help since she had assumed that her daughter would have to go to jail. She had suffered countless rejections and eyerolls. Just an hour ago, Sonia and Toby had looked down upon her as if she were nothing but trash. She was furious whenever she thought about it. However, she felt much better after the court case was over. It was Sonias turn to get angry then. At that thought, Julia gave Tina a fond stroke on the head before she let out a hearty laugh while looking in Sonias direction

Sonia clenched her fists and gave Julia a cold glare before she shifted her gaze to Tina. Tinas head was hung low, and Sonia couldnt see her expression. However, Sonia guessed that Tina was probably celebrating silently

After the Gray Family left, Sonia stayed back as she still had to attend Williams trial. His charge was more serious than Tinas charge of attempted harm toward Sonia. After all, Sonia never got hurt as a result of Tinas attempts to harm her. Williams case was different since he had directly splashed acid on Sonia, and he ended up receiving a threeyear sentence. The 

rest of the netizens who had sent wreaths and knives received their relevant punishments as wellsome were arrested while others received milder punishments

On the other hand, the marketing accounts and media outlets were in greater trouble as they had done more than just to defame Sonia. The outcomes of their cases were still unknown as they had committed other crimes as well. Most of them had to deal with charges that were independent of Sonias case. Sonia didnt bother much about these people because it was good enough for her to know that they would eventually face the consequences that they deserved

As she walked out of the court, she raised her head to look at the sky. It was a cloudy day, and it seemed like it was about to rain. Charles looked up as well. I often hear people saying that the skies look especially clear after they win a court case. We won, yet...” he muttered in a sarcastic tone

Are you okay, Sonia?Carl gazed at Sonia with concern in his eyes. Sonia forced a smile. Im fine. The outcome might not have been what I hoped for, but Im sure Tina wont dare to do anything else for now. At least shell have to live in the shadows for the upcoming days. I guess the results aren‘t that bad.” 

Both Charles and Carl exchanged glances. They could tell that Sonia was forcing herself to feel better, but they didnt expose her act. Lets forget about the celebration we were supposed to have tonight,Charles said after a few seconds of silence. Carl nodded without protesting
