1: Chapter 1 Trial
“This Court hereby sentences the defendant, Ye Ning, for the cri of fraud, to a term of ten years’ imprisonnt, to be carried out imdiately!”
In the High People’s Court of A City, as the presiding judge announced the verdict of the jade stones fraud case that had shocked the entire city, many people in the courtroom turned their gaze toward the woman sitting in the defendant’s seat.
She was a very frail and beautiful woman, with delicate features, pale and tender skin, and especially those eyes—clear and bright with a distinct contrast between the iris and the pupil, they were irresistibly captivating at a glance.
It was just a pity that, due to the court’s judgnt, her complexion at the mont was exceptionally pale, like a lifeless flower so bleak and empty it was startling.
“Who is she anyway?
Daring to deceive with jade stones worth hundreds of millions, does she not cherish her life?”
“Not sure, I heard she’s an orphan, and it seems soone adopted her later on.”
“An orphan?”
As this was said, many in the courtroom showed a look of sympathy…
At that ti, at the very last row of the public gallery, a woman who had been sitting there for a long ti with sunglasses on, when she saw Ye Ning being led out by the ard police, also stood up suddenly and followed them out.
“Officer, may I have a few words with her?”
“Who are you…?”
“I am her sister, my na is Yang Xueshan,” said the woman standing before them as she took off her sunglasses.
This was another very beautiful woman, with chestnut-colored, big wavy curled hair, dressed in the latest figure-hugging dress from a famous brand, and without her sunglasses, she stood there, by comparison with the detained Ye Ning, dazzling and radiant.
Ye Ning looked at her blankly for a while before nodding towards the two ard police who were watching her: “Hmm…”
–
Two minutes later, in a small visitor’s room next to the courtroom –
Ye Ning’s face was very pale, she sat there, and after biting her bloodless lips for a mont, asked, “Did he send you here?”
He?
The young master of the Ou Family, Ou Yuze?
Yang Xueshan fidgeted with the valuable jade ring on her finger.
Seeing the woman opposite her react to her jade ring by suddenly revealing a small pair of pupils within her larger ones, a trace of disgust flashed in Yang Xueshan’s eyes: “No, I ca on my own!”
That was pupula duplex!
A myth that had been circulating in the Antique Circle for a very long ti!
It was also sothing she had envied, detested, and resented for a very long ti…
“Why?”
Ye Ning hadn’t noticed this yet.
Startled by the response, she beca even paler: “Why didn’t he co?
He promised he would co today and that he would get
out, why didn’t he co?”
Why?
Yang Xueshan couldn’t hold back any longer: “Ye Ning, don’t you understand yet?
You have beco a sacrificial pawn in the Ou Family’s fight for their wealth.
The second branch of the Ou Family adopted you, and the young master of the second branch, Ou Yuze, sweet-talked you, all to use you!”
“What are you saying?”
“Don’t you know?
The second branch needed soone with your eyes to compete with the third branch of the Ou Family.
Haven’t you realized it?
Ever since you arrived, the second branch’s business has been soaring, gaining the old man’s favor.
Are you really naive or just pretending to be?”
Every word was like a knife, and at that mont, the woman seed to no longer be the sister who had relied on each other in the orphanage for ten years—she was more like a stranger.
Every word she uttered was so venomous and malicious.
