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 heâs going to do something else?" The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched.
Sue chuckled, "Who knows? We'll find out tomorrow. Trust me, Lynetteâs 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, Lynetteâs 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 donât 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're here." Lynette did not seem to notice Yvonne's stares. She smiled and picked up the
telephone to greet her.
Yvonne picked up the telephone too. "Well, I came to see you."
"This is probably the last time weâll meet?" Lynette said with a smile, but her eyes were red.
When Yvonne heard this, she thought about all the happy times they had together, and she teared
up a little. "Yes, this is the first time and last time I'll come here to see you, so if you have anything
to tell me, tell me now because you won't have that chance again."
"Alright." Lynette nodded. "I did you wrong so maybe itâs good that you won't come around anymore.
At least I don't have to think about how I should face you. I'm sorry Yvonne, I really never thought
that weâd end up where we are today."
"Yes, I never expected it either. Did you know how broken I felt when I found out it was you who
poisoned Grandpa?" Yvonne pressed on her chest.
Lynette smiled as her tears flowed down. "I know, being betrayed by your best friend must be very
painful. I'm sorry."
"You donât have to say sorry to me. The person you really should apologize to is my grandfather,"
Yvonne inhaled. She refused to accept her apology.
Lynette lowered her head. "Then please apologize to the chairman for me. After all, there's no way
for me to apologize to him personally. You know, I do regret it. I really do. I regret trusting Jacqueline
and doing that kind of thing."
"Is there any point in saying this now? Things happen, and we canât go back to the past. We canât
make it up either." Yvonne looked at her blankly.
Lynette laughed at herself, "You're right, so what if I regret it? I was the one who made the choice
after all. Whether it was impulse or stupidity, I did it. I really hate Jacqueline, and I hate myself even
more. It was m y stupidity that hurt everyone." "Instead of blaming yourself, you should think about
what to do with your parents. You wanted to see me and I'm guessing it's to talk about your
parents?" Yvonne softened a little when she mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Yaeger.
Lynette put her hand on the glass and looked at her." Yvonne, since you know why I wanted to see
you, then I beg you to please help me. I donât expect you to take care of my parents for me. I just
need you to help me bring my parents back to Canada and send them to our homeland."
"Send them to your homeland?"
"Yes, we have land and a house back there. If they rent it out and collect the rent every month,
they'll be able t o make a living off that. This is the only thing I can do for them. So Yvonne, I'm
asking you to help me for the sake of the kindness my parents have shown you before. Please help
me!" Lynette knelt down.
Yvonne quickly motioned the prison guard behind her to help her up, then sighed and replied, "Iâll
help you."
Lynetteâs eyes lit up and she bowed to Yvonne gratefully. "Thank you, thank you."
"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, "Thatâs 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. " Youâre still so soft-hearted."
"Timeâs 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
Iâm 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?"
