Twin Treasures: The CEO Wife's 99-Day of Revelations-Chapter 935: The News Mia Lane Brought

"In my memory, Dad was very frugal; he could wear a suit for ten years..."

Hailey Hale recalled the past, and tears overflowed once more. She sat on the sofa, lowered her gaze, and covered her eyes with her hands, trying hard to control her emotions.

After a while, she turned her eyes again to Finn Morgan and asked, "When did you know?" Her tone had a hint of complaint.

Three hours later, everyone’s emotions had calmed down a bit.

Compared to the initial shock, everyone was slowly beginning to accept the reality.

"This morning," Finn Morgan replied in a low, pain-filled voice. "CEO Kingston called me while you were changing clothes."

Silence... a prolonged silence.

Hailey gazed at him intently, and tears flowed again.

She knew the law, and she knew her father was utterly doomed this time.

"Your dad actually knew this day would come," Paige felt a searing pain in her heart. "He said goodbye to me, but I didn’t take it seriously."

Recalling the conversation from that day, Dennis Hale gave her a card.

In fact, Dennis Hale had bid farewell to everyone, including Finn Morgan... it was just that everyone was slow to realize it.

"I still can’t accept it. How did it come to this?" Hailey buried her head in her knees and broke down in tears.

Finn Morgan sat next to her, holding her shoulder, his eyes misted with tears. Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.

Some sadness can only be digested internally.

At this moment, a figure appeared at the living room entrance. Sister May noticed first, "Mrs. Kingston?"

Paige, with tears streaming down her face, looked at her silently.

Mia Lane felt the sorrow permeating the entire living room.

Hailey had her head buried in her knees, unable to speak through her sobs.

Mia Lane approached her, "Hailey." She knelt in front of her, holding her shoulder comfortingly, "You have to stay strong."

Then she slowly turned to Paige, "Mrs. Hale, I came today to bring you some news."

Hailey lifted her gaze expectantly, "My father’s sentence can be reduced, right?"

Paige’s eyes also lit up, and Sister May was even more excited.

Only Finn Morgan remained calm and rational, knowing that this was impossible.

Mia Lane met their hopeful expressions, feeling a pain inside, powerless, unable to help.

She shook her head, "No, he will be sentenced to death. He has blood on his hands, so this case will be tried quickly due to the complete evidence chain."

All hope instantly dissolved into nothingness.

Mia quickly added, "But the house you live in won’t be seized. You can live here peacefully; no one will come to take away your belongings. Apart from this house, everything else will be confiscated."

"All the money in Mayor Hale’s accounts, aside from his normal salary, will be frozen."

Though this was the only piece of good news, to the Hale women, it felt insignificant.

A wail broke out!

Hailey threw herself into Mia Lane’s embrace, her emotions out of control as she cried out loudly.

Mia Lane profoundly understood her feelings at this moment, her eyes also moist with tears, eventually letting them fall.

She continued to comfort, "Hailey, this is something your father has to bear. Perhaps when he was evading justice, he never had a peaceful night’s sleep. Maybe tonight, he’ll sleep soundly." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I can’t believe my father is so bad..."

Hailey struggled to accept it, "He was honest all his life; he was the best father in the world. How can he be so bad?"

"We all hate villains, but I don’t want to hate my father..."

The choking bitterness turned into repeated questioning, into soft tears. She cried so heartbreakingly, so helplessly.

The torrent of tears left Finn Morgan uncertain, eager to share in her pain.
