I Married a Beautiful Boss After the Breakup

Chapter 317

Sometimes, Sylvia would stay quiet all day long.

When nightmares struck, she would wake up and cry uncontrollably at night.

Eric tried to console her, but it didn't help.

After a few days, progress finally came in the case.

Eric's car accident on the way was not accidental—it was a planned interception. Lucas' abduction of Sylvia was a terrible crime, and a lead began to emerge.

From the crime scene, the police found Sylvia's DNA and Lucas' fingerprints on the dagger used to scar Sylvia's face. This provided strong evidence of Lucas' guilt. However, it didn't warrant the death penalty, which disappointed Eric.

Despite their losses, the Pettersons weren't broke. Money could fix many problems. They paid off the fighters to avoid blaming Lucas or accusing him of being the instigator.

Hence, the only charge the police could bring against Lucas was intentional harm. With the Pettersons' manipulation, Lucas might escape significant prison time. It was harsh, but it was the reality.
