WantNovelChapter 1822:
Lucille and Leon clung desperately to hope, believing that since both Shaun and Tracy had survived the incident,
Dolores might receive a lighter sentence.
Their optimism quickly crumbled. Despite Shaun and Tracy's survival, the court considered the severity of
Shaun’s extensive injuries and Tracy's traumatic miscarriage. Dolores received a seven-year sentence.
A heart-wrenching wail erupted from Dolores, echoing throughout the courtroom as she implored her parents to
intervene. They stood helpless, having exhausted every possible legal avenue.
As officers led Dolores away, Lucille’s demeanor transformed into incandescent rage. She turned on Elyse, her
voice trembling with fury. “They didn’t even die! Seven years for my daughter? You should feel nothing but
shame!”
Chloe positioned herself protectively before Elyse. “Are you serious? You failed to instill any discipline in your
daughter and raised her to be cruel!”
She arched an eyebrow pointedly. “Your daughter represents a genuine threat to society. Honestly, I'd feel relief

deliberation. “Don’t you recognize the pattern? Even now, she refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing. She

frightening ordeal, Dolores had remained completely absorbed in her plans for her beauty salon.

The anger drained from her expression. The biting retorts she had mentally prepared dissolved unspoken.
Defeated, she shuffled away with slumped shoulders.
Watching Lucille’s retreat, Chloe exhaled heavily. “They could blno one but themselves.”
Elyse released a contemplative sigh. “You're right. They should have raised their daughter better. Now, they are
facing the consequences of their choices.”
Chloe declared, “Dolores’s tic chapter concludes here. We should proceed to our next engagement.”
Elyse nodded in agreement. “Let’s change our attire. We need to attend today’s other noteworthy event.”
Upon arriving at Peyton's birthday celebration, Elyse encountered an overwhelming explosion of pink
decorations.
Chloe pushed her sunglasses higher on her nose, staring in bewilderment. “What explains this abundance of
balloons and pink and white roses?”
