Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime-Chapter 1041 Guilty Verdict_1

Christopher Simonson’s face was contorted with anger, still seething over Violet Nelson’s affairs.

Caitlin Carter sighed, "The old lady is genuinely heartbroken this time, so upset that she’s weeping inside and won’t let us in."

The old lady had been strong all her life, and wouldn’t allow others to see her cry even if she did.

Purple Summers asked, "Why did the old lady go to the court today?"

She had clearly instructed Cedric Spencer to only pass the message to Christopher Simonson and Caitlin Carter. Unexpectedly, when the door opened, Old Master Simonson was also present. Not to mention Violet Nelson, even Purple Summers herself was shocked at the time.

Caitlin Carter looked at Christopher Simonson awkwardly and replied, "We accidentally let the old lady overhear us discussing this matter, and she insisted on coming. We couldn’t stop her... "

Mostly, they hadn’t anticipated that Violet Nelson would utter such shocking statements; otherwise, they truly wouldn’t have dared to let the old lady come along. What would they do if it upset her to the point of something terrible happening?

At this moment, the hospital room door half-opened, and Old Master Simonson stood behind it, seeing Purple Summers and Alexander Summers, "You’ve arrived."

Purple said, "We’ve come to see how the old lady is doing."

"That’s thoughtful of you," Old Master Simonson responded with a slight nod, looking exhausted.

Finally, his gaze fell on Christopher Simonson’s face.

Old Master Simonson said to Christopher, "Come inside."

Those outside the door were unclear about what was happening; Christopher was briefly stunned before following the old master into the hospital room.

The old lady lay on the hospital bed, awake but with eyes tightly closed, like a wilful and obstinate child refusing to face the reality of the world.

"Mom, are you feeling any better?" Christopher asked in a low voice.

The old lady pursed her lips, and after a long pause, said to Christopher, "Get another lawyer for Violet."

Christopher was astonished, "You still want to take care of her?! Didn’t you hear clearly enough in court? She did all this just to frame Purple! Her heart is too cruel!"

"No matter how cruel, she was raised in the Presidential Palace!" The old lady’s eyes suddenly snapped open, shooting piercing arrows at Christopher, "How old was she when she moved into the Presidential Palace? It was me, and you, every single one of us treated her like a princess, yet we denied her the social status of a princess! That’s why she turned out this way!"

Christopher felt that wasn’t right to say, their kindness towards Violet Nelson couldn’t justify her evil deeds.

But seeing the old lady’s expression of pain, he found it difficult to speak.

Tears streamed down, the old lady weeping profusely.

She genuinely grieved.

When Violet Nelson was first brought close to them, she was just a tiny little girl, pure and lovable, adept in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was well-behaved since she was little, how did she end up like this now?

Decades of affection weren’t easily severed.

The old lady seemed to lose all her strength, her voice dropping to a hoarse whisper, "We can’t spoil her and then push all the blame onto her alone. There’s no such logic in the world. Please, get her another lawyer, let that be our last act of righteousness...

Give her the dowry we prepared for her; move her belongings to the marriage house we bought earlier... from now on, whether she lives or dies, it no longer has anything to do with us."

The old lady, feeling utterly disheartened, closed her eyes again after saying these words.

Then Christopher understood, the old lady intended to cast Violet Nelson out.

After everything that had occurred, it was impossible to accommodate her. Ultimately, she was a child who grew up by their side. If it came down to the Presidential Palace taking action against Violet, the old lady couldn’t harden her heart to do it, which is why she threw both the person and her belongings out, wanting to sever all ties from then on.

Christopher felt uneasy, "I understand. Please focus on recuperating, I will have someone take care of it."

Christopher hired a top lawyer for Violet.

But the lawsuit ultimately ended in defeat; second-degree murder was established, and Violet Nelson was sentenced to twenty years for involuntary manslaughter.
