Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Gabriel waiting outside amidst the crowd. At the sight of our gathering, he hesitated and quietly slipped through another entrance.

The courtroom was packed to the brim, with every seat occupied and people standing silently at the back. The Bullocks, the Chandlers, the hospital staff, and others were among the crowd. We were directed to our designated seats.

When Byron, Jocelyn, and Hazelyn were escorted into the courtroom, I felt Beatrice's body tremble slightly before she relaxed again.

I embraced her, offering support. Finn wrapped his strong arm around her as well.

Byron, now with his once jet-black hair shaved short and turned white, looked noticeably thinner and worn out. Gone was his former arrogant demeanor.

As he entered the hall, his eyes scanned the room, eventually locking onto Beatrice's face. His mouth opened, and his gaze was filled with complexity.

I sensed Beatrice take a deep breath, resolutely withdrawing her gaze and fixing it firmly on the judge.

Byron's mouth moved, but his words no longer mattered.

Whether he sought repentance or wanted to curse at Beatrice, today was his final chance. Once he left the courtroom, he would have no chance left. Following him was Jocelyn, who no longer looked arrogant. Stripped of her makeup, she looked tired and was walking unsteadily.

Suddenly, a roar erupted in the courtroom. "You wicked woman, give me back my child! Bitch, you should die!"

The judge banged the gavel, restoring order.

Next up was Hazelyn, who was dressed plainly and devoid of any of her former charm.

Her eyes, however, still carried malice as they searched for Beatrice. She was still standing coldly and arrogantly in the courtroom.

Upon seeing Beatrice, she lost her composure and opened her mouth, only to be forcefully restrained by court guards. Ultimately, she gave Beatrice a fierce glare before being forced back to her place.

Byron had one chance to see Beatrice, but she decisively refused him. I believe this will be Byron's lifelong regret.

Beatrice's cold hand, which was tightly grasping mine, conveyed her emotions vividly.

Finn had been a pillar of support by her side, and even the entire Bullock family was present in court today.

The lengthy trial concluded solemnly, with all three receiving death sentences to be immediately executed.

As the verdict was announced, there was cheering both inside and outside the courtroom. Everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.

Beatrice, who had been tightly

gripping my hand, suddenly let go. Jocelyn was unable to walk and had to be supported as she was taken away.

Though Byron wasn't as crushed as Jocelyn, he couldn't help but look back at Beatrice with tears in his eyes. He gritted his teeth as if

wanting to say many things to her,

but she didn't even look at him.

In the end, he was escorted out by court guards.

Throughout it all, Beatrice maintained a cold, expressionless demeanor, unmoved.
