No, no. Josephine quickly shook off these thoughts, got up, and headed toward the bathroom. She took a wet tissue and rubbed her eyes while thinking about Ethan. He was leaving for the Arctic today, and his phone signal wouldn’t be very good from now on.
So, it wouldn’t be easy to find him anytime. It would depend on luck. For this reason, she especially went to a bookstore in the afternoon and bought a bunch of books about the Arctic to read. It was as if reading these books would bring her closer to Ethan.
Since the evidence in this case against Katrina was solid, and Josephine’s grandfather had also exerted pressure, the trial was scheduled for tomorrow.
As a victim, Josephine also received a notification to attend court for the trial. Her attendance was absolutely required, and Wrent also promised to accompany her.
Early the next morning, Lydia Folly and Wren drove to the Supreme Court. When they arrived, they happened to see Katrina being escorted out. She had disheveled hair, her hands were cuffed, and her mental state was very poor. When she saw Josephine sitting in the spectator seat, she trembled with anger. Even from a distance, one could feel Katrina’s intense hatred in her eyes. Josephine calmly looked back at her..
The Sullivan Family also came, and Ivanka gave Josephine a fierce glare as if Josephine was a criminal for not forgiving Katrina. However, Josephine didn’t buy into this victim- blaming mentality. She crossed her arms and watched the scene as if it were a play.
After all the charges against Katrina were read out, the presiding judge looked up and said to Katrina, “Based on the nature of the case and the evidence presented in court, Katrina Sullivan will be sentenced to serve in prison for three years and eight months.”
Katrina closed her eyes tightly. Although the nearly four-year sentence was not long, for her age, it was the best time of her youth. She could only spend it in that confined space from now on.
Josephine was satisfied. Although she thought that Katrina would be sentenced longer, she accepted the court’s decision. “Katrina! My Katrina!” Katrina’s mother cried and called out to her daughter from her seat as her heart broke into pieces.
Josephine decided to leave, and at that moment, Ivanka chased after her from behind, somewhat angrily shouting, “Josephine, are you satisfied now?” Josephine turned around and looked at her while saying, “No. I’m not entirely satisfied, but I accept the outcome.”
“What else do you want? My sister has paid such a high price for this matter. Josephine, can’t you be more magnanimous and kinder as a person?” Ivanka was filled with anger as she lectured Josephine.
Josephine’s face darkened. “Ivanka, your sister deserved her punishment, and she deserves this outcome. The ones lacking kindness are you and your sister. It’s too late for you to advise me to be magnanimous.
“You…” Ivanka gritted her teeth in anger because she had also come to hate Josephine. This incident turned the two sisters against each other and fueled Katrina’s intense hatred toward her sister. It was all Josephine’s fault.
“Joey, let’s go!” Wren pulled her away. Once they were in the car, Wren expressed her indignation. “Ivanka is so unreasonable! She’s blaming you for everything.” ‘I don’t want to lower myself to her level,” Josephine said calmly.
Just then, Wren’s phone rang, and she received another gossip news. “Tori went to meet at person in charge last night and was kicked out. She’s finished!”
“She brought it upon herself,” Josephine said. Since the moment they harbored ill intentions toward her, they should have anticipated the consequences.
Of course, Josephine was able to retaliate so effectively because of her grandfather’s influence. If she were just an ordinary girl with no connections, her outcome would have been different. Perhaps she would have faced online bullying, and those who were driven to despair would consider ending their life and leaving this world. Therefore, she was fortunate.
The situation with Katrina had come to an end, and Josephine secured her position as a news anchor. In the company, no one questioned her abilities anymore, and the company culture had been cleansed.
