Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 902 The End of Their Road 18

Once the case was officially filed, the police moved into the investigation phase.

Because of the time that had passed and the hidden methods of the suspects, the investigation was extremely difficult to carry out.

Thankfully, Emelie and Wesley had already gathered a considerable amount of evidence over the past three years. Once they handed it over to the police, it greatly reduced the workload for the authorities.

It was now May of the following year. Yes, it had taken the police an entire year to announce the end of the investigation and submit the case to the court. Two weeks later, the court accepted the case and made it public. The two cases were tried on consecutive days, with all individuals involved being summoned to court.

Of course, Henry and Kaden, who had both passed away, couldn't attend. Maverick and Caleb, who had been hiding abroad, were captured and brought back to Cedonia.

Another person who was absent was William.

During the police investigation, Beathan had indeed dragged William down with him. He exposed that William had once shot and injured Emelie.

After an investigation, the police confirmed the claim and decided to arrest William for intentional harm.

However, William was receiving treatment for his lungs in Mercianna at the time, so he applied for bail.

When the court convened, he was unable to attend in person due to his health, and his lawyer represented him in court.

Yennifer flew in from Mercianna to Capebatt City to testify as a key witness in the Xander case.

Emelie and Greta testified in the "Second Generation Case", which was a name given by the public to refer to the crimes committed by the second generation people of the Middleton, Davis, Swanson, and Collins families.

As the trial was public, viewers could watch a live stream on the court's website. At one point, online attendance exceeded ten million people. This showed how many people were still paying close attention to the case, even a year later. It was no exaggeration to call it the most high-profile case in recent years.

Both trials lasted more than eight hours.

Finally, the verdict was announced.

In the Xander case, Maverick and Caleb were sentenced to life imprisonment, with permanent revocation of their political rights.

These two men who were nearing 60 had evaded justice for 29 years, only to end up in prison.

In the "Second Generation Case", Beathan was convicted of intentional harm, intentional murder, attempted murder, bribery, illegal detention, incitement to commit crimes, endangering public safety, transnational crime, and organizing, leading, and participating in a terrorist organization.
