Yvonne put down the phone. "He said that he would send someone to watch Lynette in prison."
"Watch her?" Sue was stunned and it took her a few seconds to understand what she meant. "He wants to pay someone from the prison to beat Lynette up?"
"I think so...?" Yvonne nodded uncertainly.
Sue sighed, "But I have a feeling that sir wouldn't let her go so simply."
"Do you think he’s going to do something else?" The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched.
Sue chuckled, "Who knows? We'll find out tomorrow. Trust me, Lynette’s ruling will be out tomorrow."
"Yeah," Yvonne replied softly as she looked at the coffee table and let her mind drift away, not knowing what she was thinking.
The next day, as Sue said, Lynette’s ruling was out.
She was guilty of poisoning and intentional homicide. Even if she pleaded guilty, she would still be sentenced to 15 years. On top of that, because of Henry's manipulation, her sentence was increased by another five years, making it a total of 20 years.
Lynette was only 25 years old, and her sentence of 20 years would make her 45 by the time she finished serving her time in prison. It could be said that her life had been ruined. 2
A sentence like that made people feel bad for her.
On top of that, Yvonne also felt a little sorry.
Of course, she was not sorry for Lynette, but for Mr. and Mrs Yaeger.
At such an old age and poor health, their daughter went to prison, and nobody knew what their future would be like in the future.
She did not know if Lynette regretted it either.
"She wants to see you." Henry put down his spoon and suddenly spoke to Yvonne who was still emotional.
Yvonne blinked. "Lynette?"
Henry nodded. "She asked me to tell you at the police station yesterday that she wanted to see you."
Yvonne put down her spoon and asked, "Did she say why?"
Henry glanced at her. "No."
"I see." Yvonne nodded. "Then I'll see her for a while."
"Just this one time," Henry said.
Yvonne looked at him blankly as she did not understand what he meant.
He sighed and explained, "See her one last time and don’t ever see her anymore." "I see. I understand and I will," Yvonne promised.
In fact, even if he did not say anything, she planned to never see Lynette again in the future.
Even if they were friends, she did betray her. She wouldn't forget about the betrayal just because of their past friendship, especially because this betrayal harmed Grandpa.
After breakfast, Henry went out.
Yvonne got in Luke's car after that and set off to the women's prison on the outskirts of the city.
Lynette was sent there last night. Yvonne saw Lynette in a prison uniform through the bulletproof glass and i t made her emotional.
Her hair was cut short overnight, and she did not seem well mentally. It was surprising how much weight she had lost.
"You don't need to thank me. I know it was you who betrayed me and Grandpa, not your parents. I do know that. What's more, Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger did take care o f me before so even if you didn't ask, I can't bear to see them stuck abroad either," Yvonne said.
Lynette cried and nodded, "That’s good, it's just that the money I borrowed from you before may take more than 20 years for me to return it to you." "If you still remember when the time comes, then you can return it to me. If you can't, you don't have to," Yvonne smiled.
Lynette raised her arm and wiped away her tears. " You’re still so soft-hearted."
"Time’s up!" At this moment, the female prison guard suddenly reminded her coldly from behind.
Yvonne raised her head and glanced at the timer on the wall only to find that it had actually been fifteen minutes.
Time passed so fast.
"Yvonne." Before being taken away by the prison guards, Lynette quickly said, "Jacqueline said she wants you to feel the pain of being betrayed by people around you, so I should not be the only one. You should be careful of other people."
When Yvonne heard her words, her heart clenched and she nodded solemnly. "I will."
"That's good." Lynette smiled knowingly, "I hope you won't be betrayed by others again. I hope that I’m the first and last, Yvonne. Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!" Yvonne waved.
Lynette glanced at her one last time before she was taken away by the prison guard without looking back.
Yvonne looked up at the ceiling and finally realized that she had really lost her best friend.
"Miss." Another guard came over.
Yvonne blinked as if she could hold back her tears that way. She then smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"
