Chapter 211
Chapter 211
Harold's previous case remained some follow-up problems that needed to be dealt with. Soon, the judgment of Andy's death case came to an end. Susie was sentenced to ten years because of her crime of shielding and indirect murder, whose most beautiful time would be spent in prison.
In addition, Audrey became Leslie's lawyer.
The case of Leslie was arranged by Bryson to be interrogated earlier.
In the court, thanks to Audrey's glib tongue, Leslie was sentenced to life imprisonment without commutation.
Bryson and Harold sat in the audience and watched Audrey argue with Leslie's lawyer until the latter was speechless. In the end, the judge accepted Audrey's request and took Leslie in.
Harold would always remember that before Leslie was taken away, she screamed at Audrey.
"You are not a woman, you are a devil, you are a female devil!"
When they were out of court, Audrey complained to Harold and Bryson.
"Leslie Walton has been used to framing others. How could he say that I am a devil woman? Heh, is there a devil as kind, beautiful, and virtuous as me?"
Harold subconsciously took a step back, silently staring at Audrey and keeping a distance from her.
Audrey glared at him angrily.
"What attitude? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
Harold kindly reminded her, "I heard that when Leslie Walton kidnapped you, your shoulder throw caused him internally injured!"
"What do you mean? Could it be that I let him threaten me with a knife at that time? If I had not fought back, you would have no sister now. Do you have a conscience?" Audrey snapped.
Harold did not know what to say.
Seeing that Harold was silent, Audrey Koch held onto Bryson's arm. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Bryson, look at Quentin."
Bryson said, "Quentin, apologize to your sister!"
Harold obediently stood in front of Audrey. "Dear sister, I was wrong just now. You are the kindest, most beautiful, and virtuous woman in the world!"
Audrey was speechless.
She looked at Harold's puppy eyes.
'My brother, where is your integrity?' She asked with eyes.
Harold smiled and answered in heart, 'In front of my future brother-in-law, my integrity has been eaten by a dog!'
Taking a deep breath, Audrey was deeply gratified as she saw his increasingly cheerful face from the first time they met.
He had completely walked out of Susie's shadow.
"Quentin, it's time to say goodbye to the past. Are there any things that haven't been done?"
"I want to ... go back and see where I lived before." Harold made his final request.
"Alright!" Audrey replied.
Harold brought them back to the old courtyard that Harold had stayed in before.
In these two days, the courtyard had been repaired by labors sent by Bryson. Even the gate had its new lock.
Harold pushed open the door of the courtyard and carefully looked at every corner. Then, he handed the key to the neighbor.
"Uncle, I can't let go of that grape trellis the most. Can you help me watch it and occasionally water it?"
The neighbor was an honest man who looked very simple and good.
"Alright, Harold, but are you leaving?"
Harold nodded. "Yes, I am going to study in Peace City. Moreover, my sister has come to find me."
The neighbor looked at him happily.
"That's good. You've finally found your family. Don't worry and go. I will help you look after your courtyard."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Harold took another look around the courtyard and left with red eyes.
Harold didn't calm down as they got in the car.
Audrey patted him on the back. "Quentin, don't be sad. It only took a few hours from Peace City to Shore City. You can come back often if you want to, and you can even stay here for several days when you have a holiday. "
Harold nodded. "I know."
"So, let's go?" Bryson asked from the passenger seat.
Audrey looked at Bryson with guilt because she sat in the back seat to comfort Harold instead of sitting with him.
Audrey said, "OK!"
Then the car started up. Harold turned around suddenly to see more. It was not until the street view behind him could no longer be seen that Harold looked back.
...
On the way back, Audrey briefly introduced the situation in Peace City to Harold, and part of the truth of the past and the present.
After Audrey's introduction, Harold's anger could not help but flare up.
"I have some impression of Wendy. Back then, she was indeed the one who lied to me that you were in the park. So, I went there to look for you, only to be pushed down the lotus pond. I was lucky to not drown, but she is still alive and at ease."
Audrey held Harold's hand.
"I told you the truth not because I want you to remember the hatred, but because I don't want to hide anything from you. I told you because I want to tell you that I now have the ability to take revenge on them. And your mission is to study well and have a good future so that you can win glory for yourself."
"Audrey, I am a man in our family. I am the one who comes to take revenge. How can I let you do such a dangerous thing?"
Audrey smiled, "Yes, you are a man in our family, but you don't have the ability now. So, you should go to school, and when you have the ability, you can help me."
Harold was a little discouraged, "You can only blame me for being too muddle-headed the past two years. Otherwise ... I wouldn't have dragged you down."
"What nonsense are you saying? How can you drag me down? Besides ... don't you still have your brother-in-law?"
Bryson turned around with a gentle smile.
"Yes, I am your future brother-in-law. You don't have to worry since she is with me."
Harold was lost for words.
Another public display of affection!
"Audrey, I have something ... to discuss with you!" Harold said with hesitation.
"Just say it!" Audrey indicated him to continue.
Harold's eyes wandered.
"I ... After all, I had lived in another family for eighteen years. Moreover ... the Munns are in such a situation. Can ... can I temporarily not change my name back?" After Harold finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Audrey.
When he thought that Audrey would blame him, Audrey held his hand gently.
"Quentin, I know what you're thinking and understand how you feel. Moreover, it is not suitable for you to change back to your original name now. So, it's OK, Harold. You don't have to."
And it would be easier to hide his identity.
