The Trial With a dangerous look in his eyes, Seth made a phone call.
"Call all our senior eXecutives here.
Now,’ he hissed into the receiver.
When all the senior executives were "Ñ.Övel.Ë.book.c,o.m" present, Seth asked someone to
investigate their bank account records.
He thought that he would definitely find the mole.
Ethan had collected solid evidence against them, which was extremely disadvantageous to Seth.
He had to come up with a plen.
He refused to lose to Ethan so easily.
At the very least, he had to find the mole who had betrayed him.
But two days later, the investigation turned up fruitless.
None of their senior executives had anything to do with the Larson Group.
Plus, they all knew that it was a sensitive time for both companies, so everyone had been avoiding
contact with people from the Larson Group.
Seth had also checked and double-checked the company's surveillance footage, but didn't find
anything suspicious.
Seth pursed his lips, feeling that he had missed something, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
KRRRKEKK The in-house nutritionists and servants of the Lester family had been taking good care of
Tasha these days.
And her belly was slowly getting bigger and bigger with each day that passed.
The weather was getting hot lately, but she still had a good appetite and had eaten a hearty lunch
today.
After finishing her food, Tasha went to the garden to relax.
No one knew what was on her mind as she stared into the distance, lost in thought, stroking her belly
absentmindedly.
“Mrs. Lester, have some fruits." The servant brought Tasha a tray full of sliced fruits and set it on the
table.
However, Tasha was not in the mood to eat.
She had heard that Seth already received the indictment from Ethan and was discussing with his
lawyer how to deal with it.
“Don't forget to tell me when Seth comes back.” Tasha reminded, leaning into her chair with her eyes
closed.
She tried her best not to look nervous and recalled that day step by step, trying to find out if she had
left anything that might've pointed to her.
The only thing suspicious about her that day was that she had asked Seth's assistant to turn off the
CCTV camera in his office.
But the Lester family was on the verge of bankruptcy, and that was all the more reason for Seth's
assistant to keep his mouth shut.
If word got out that he was the one who had turned off the CCTV in Seth's office, he'd definitely have to
take the fall.
Now, there was nothing Tasha could do but wait for the trial.
keRK KICK A week later, the trial began.
Tasha attended the trial as a member of Seth's family.
They hadn't seen "Ñ.Övel.Ë.book.c,o.m" each other in a few days, and Seth looked much more
haggard than before.
His five o'clock shadow made him age ten years.
Tasha was secretly overjoyed to see him in such a mess.
Suppressing a smug smile, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Julia, who was sitting a few rows
ahead of her.
She too looked like a mess.
She was crying so hard that she kept wiping her tears and blowing her nose into a tissue.
Seth wasn't all that unlucky.
At least in this trial, there was someone who sincerely hoped he could win.
Tasha withdrew her sight and subconsciously placed her hand on her rounded belly.
Her fate, as well as the child's, depended on the outcome of today's trial.
Soon, the judge came in and announced the beginning of the trial.
Because of all the solid evidence stacked against Seth, Ethan won without a shadow of a doubt.
Seth was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment.
Of course, Seth couldn't accept such a fate.
He looked calm, but his bloodshot eyes and trembling fingers exposed his panic.
Holding onto hope, he filed an appeal, but the original sentencing was maintained in the second and
final trial.
When the final judgment came, Seth nearly broke down on the spot.
Tasha had attended both trials.
It was the first time in her life that she had seen Seth bowing his head.
He seerned to be much shorter than before.
Twenty years’ imprisonment.
Seth was already in his 30s, and so he'd be over fifty years old by the time he got out.
His life would be almost over by then.
On the day of the final sentencing, Tasha went to see Seth.
