A Lifetime With You

Chapter 98

Damien didn’t even willing to look at her. He felt disgusted by just seeing the accomplice who had killed his wife.

Kelly was stunned for a moment and she subconsciously took a step back. “Mr. Radbury, I… I know I was wrong, but I…” She was too panicked, so much so that the flowers in her hand fell to the ground, and petals… scattered all across the floor.

It was obvious that Damien was trying to restrain himself. If they weren’t at Ava’s funeral, he really would have considered strangling this woman to death. Right at this time, Selden rushed towards them in a hurry, “Damien!” He stood in front of Kelly and said to him, “I know you must be very angry, but Kelly is not the mastermind behind this. Let her go.” “What? Then who is responsible for Ava?” Selden gave Kelly a look to signal her to keep quiet. Over the past three days, the suffering and pain he had to endure were not any lesser than Damien.

However, the innocent ones shouldn’t be blamed for things they didn’t really do!

Delden.

“Kelly was just a pawn. How could she ever think of such a complicated plan? She was obviously being fooled. Just let her go, Damien.” Damien’s cold gaze swept past Kelly and landed on Selden. Without saying a word, he got into his car and drove away. Selden breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around to look at Kelly, only to realize that she was already crying, and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

“Don’t worry, if he didn’t do anything to you today, he probably wouldn’t come looking for trouble with you in the future. Everything is fine.” Selden comforted her.

However, Kelly’s tears did not stop rolling down her cheeks. “I’m really sorry… I never wanted to kill her, and I really didn’t expect this to happen…”. She felt a surye of guilt overflowing in her heart. Ava was dead and she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

After leaving the funeral, Damien returned to the beach where Ava’s accident took place. The rescue team had already withdrawn. Nobody was willing to believe that a miracle would happen. In fact, even Damien found it hard to believe it. Life comes and goes. Nobody can ever predict the fate of life and death. They didn’t even have time to bid farewell to each other. If he knew that a few days ago would be the last time they ever saw each other, he would never have Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

let her go.

Day after day, he just sat alone by the sea after Ava was gone. It was strange that he didn’t have suicidal thoughts anymore. He just wanted to sit here alone in peace, as if he was accompanying her. “There’s news from the officers. They said that the Newton family spent a lot of money and connections to bail Selina out.” Dempsey Bradley, who was Damien’s secretary, reported to him. Since he sat by the sea every day, there were many things at the company that he needed to handle. Therefore, Dempsey had no choice but to come here with the laptop. His eyes flickered, and finally, there was a visible emotion on his face. “Selina Newton?” Dempsey nodded. “Looks like the Newton family is willing to even go bankrupt to ensure Selina’s safety.”

Damien snorted coldly. That day, he ordered his men to hand over Selina, who was beaten half to death to the cops. Ever since then, he had been ignoring her until this time. Selina’s kidnapping and murder intentions were all with conclusive evidence. It would be against the law if she was not given a life sentence in jail. However, the Newton family were crossing the line by trying to bail her out. “Ever since Selina was put in the detention center, her mental state has been deteriorating. The Newton family is going to take advantage of this and bail her out by stating that she needs treatment.” Dempsey said. Damien would never allow this to happen, no matter what. He would not let anyone who had hurt

Ava go easily. After a long time, he finally stood up and said to Dempsey, “Let’s go.” “Where are we going, Sir?” “We’re going to pay the lawyer a visit.”

The Newton family had only one daughter, which was Selina Newton. Hence, they loved her with all their might.

This time, she really got herself in huge trouble. The news about her crime was being spread all over the internet and it was impossible to be exonerated. However, her parents couldn’t see their only daughter suffer in jail. Therefore, they did whatever they can to save her. Damien listened as his father spoke to him. His dark face was now turned even ghastly. “So, what are you actually implying after speaking for so long?” Daryl sighed, “Ava is gone. I know that you are sad. But the Newtons have connections with our family in the business industry after all. We shouldn’t be too harsh on them, or we might lose an important support.”

Damien scoffed indifferently. It seemed like the Newton family was not taking this lightly. Apart from interfering with the law, they were now using what they had against the Radbury family to threaten him. They were literally overestimating themselves. “Even if you don’t want to put up with the Newton family, you should at least take our family business into consideration,” Daryl advised once again. “What? It is because I actually cared about the Radbury Group that I didn’t burn down their house and stab that bitch to death in her sleep!” “Damien, do you really have to be like this?” Damien stood up from the sofa and said, “I will make Selina’s life a living hell. I swear!”

Half a month later, Selina’s verdict finally came out. It was a lifetime sentence in jail. This was an official appeal made by Damien himself. He would not let her die as he wanted Selina to live the rest of her life in prison. A person like her didn’t deserve to even meet Ava in the afterworld.

He wanted her to live a life worse than death and to rot in prison forever.

However, the Newton family was not willing to accept it. They appealed once again for dismissal for the verdict.

“I heard that Selina has already gone crazy. She talks nonsense every day and said that she saw a ghost. She even licked the floor.” Selden said to Damien.

“That was expected.” Damien was still standing by the sea where Ava’s life ended. He watched as a bunch of seagulls flew over the sky It was a windy day, and their clothes were fluttering in the breeze. Selden asked, “Do you think she is really out of her mind, or is she pretending to be insane?”

“If she’s really insane, that would be too easy on her.”

“You’re right. If she’s pretending to be insane, she would have to keep up the act forever. Even if she got bailed out for treatment, it’s meaningless.” Selden paused for a moment and asked, “What are you going to do if the Newton family really gets her out?” “Do you think I’ll let such a thing happen?” “But I heard that the Newton family is willing to go all out in business with your family. In just half a month, you’ve lost quite a lot, haven’t you?” It had been a long time since Damien last concerned about the company. Ever since Ava left, all Damien could think about was taking revenge and nothing else.
