Divorce, Please: The Young Master Does Not Love Me

Chapter 621: Chapter 617: Life Imprisonment

「Three months later.」

Jasmine Warren woke up for the first time since her car accident.

When Ian Shaw heard Jasmine Warren had woken up, he started making a fuss, demanding to be discharged from the hospital. Even though the Joyce Family was handling Aria Joyce’s case, Ian wanted to bring Jasmine to justice with his own hands.

Tristan Grayson had always thought Ian Shaw was just playing around with Aria Joyce and had never been serious. But after Aria’s death, he realized Ian’s feelings for her had been real.

It was as if fate had played a cruel joke on all of them.

It had left deep scars on everyone’s hearts.

Mika Summers’s belly grew bigger by the day, but so did her worries. Nightmares jolted her awake nearly every night.

And he didn’t know how to comfort her.

One was his best friend, the other was the woman he loved most. He didn’t know how he was supposed to choose.

Jasmine Warren had been punished, but a life for a life!

One day, Mika Summers received a call from the police station. Jason Lockwood was asking to see her.

He didn’t know why Jason Lockwood wanted to see Mika, but he had a sinking feeling it wasn’t for anything good.

So, he went with Mika to the meeting.

When the door to the visitation room opened, he immediately saw Jason Lockwood, who had become so thin he was barely more than a skeleton.

Jason Lockwood glanced up at him, then looked away as if he wasn’t there, not even sparing him a second glance.

It was true. In Jason Lockwood’s eyes, Tristan Grayson had never been worthy of being his rival. Of all men, Jason only had eyes for one: Archie Lockwood.

Only Archie Lockwood was worthy of his attention.

Jason Lockwood’s gaze finally fell on Mika Summers’s stomach. A self-deprecating smile suddenly touched his lips.

When Jasmine Warren had the car accident, she had been pregnant. The baby was already over three months along, but Jasmine had been so preoccupied with Jason Lockwood’s affairs that she hadn’t even realized she was pregnant.

’If only she had listened to my advice and done nothing. By now, our child would be almost seven months old. It would have been born in another two or three months...’

At the sight of Jason Lockwood’s inexplicable smile, Mika Summers couldn’t help but shrink back, feeling a chill wash over her.

"Have a seat." At that moment, Jason Lockwood withdrew his gaze, looked up at Mika Summers’s pale, weak face, and spoke in a cold voice.

Although Mika Summers was a little scared, she obediently sat down. With Tristan by her side and guards standing outside, she believed that no matter how much Jason Lockwood hated her, he wouldn’t dare do anything to her.

Besides, she had never even met Jason Lockwood before. Other than the incident with Maggie Monroe, she had never offended him.

"Jason Lockwood, if you have something to say, just say it. We only have half an hour," Tristan Grayson said. He felt bad for Mika having to be in a place like this, and he couldn’t stand Jason’s arrogant attitude, even in his fallen state.

"I hope this matter ends here. You all should have investigated thoroughly by now. Jasmine was used."

"But Aria Joyce is dead because of her," Tristan retorted. "She didn’t just stab someone; she stole the ambulance."

If Jasmine Warren hadn’t gotten into that car accident, Aria Joyce could have been saved with timely medical attention.

Jason Lockwood shot a vicious glare at the meddling Tristan Grayson, then turned back to Mika Summers and said in a cold, heavy tone, "No one can escape responsibility for what happened. If you’re looking for the main culprits, I’d say it’s none other than you two."

Mika Summers had already been suffering from nightmares every day. Hearing Jason Lockwood’s words, her face instantly turned deathly pale, and a sense of restless panic washed over her.

Seeing this, Tristan Grayson immediately pulled Mika Summers into a tight embrace, his gaze turning cold as he glared back at Jason Lockwood. "Jason Lockwood, don’t think you can shift all the blame onto us just by saying that."

"Heh. You protect your woman, Tristan Grayson, and I need to protect mine. For the sake of the late Maggie Monroe, and for the fact that Jasmine has already been punished, I’m asking you to stop interfering in Aria Joyce’s case." Jason Lockwood directed these words at Tristan Grayson, but his eyes were fixed on Mika Summers.

Perhaps, subconsciously, he felt that Mika Summers would definitely help him, which was why he had insisted on seeing her before he died.

"..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the execution order should come down soon."

"You..." Tristan Grayson stared at Jason Lockwood in astonishment, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

’The man who had been vowing to get revenge after getting out of prison was now willing to die for a woman?’

’He knew that with Jason Lockwood’s capabilities, he could definitely get out of prison in no time.’

’So he was truly shocked—shocked that such a cold-blooded, ruthless man would one day face this...’

"I’ve already requested execution by firing squad. Perhaps it’s best if everything ends with me. She’s innocent. She never should have gotten dragged into this. It was my selfishness that pulled her into my life." He had once thought about using Jasmine to get close to Mika Summers and then get revenge on Tristan Grayson and the others.

But during the time he spent with Jasmine Warren, he’d had many opportunities to make her do it, yet he always gave up in the end. He couldn’t bring himself to use her. He hadn’t even realized he was capable of being soft-hearted.

He never imagined that after he went to prison, she would find the files he had taken out and put back so many times and proceed with his original plan.

She was just too foolish and too quick to trust others.

He didn’t think Aria Joyce was innocent; she got what she deserved. He only regretted his unborn child and the love he never had the chance to cherish.

She and Tristan Grayson agreed not to interfere, just as Jason Lockwood asked, but they certainly wouldn’t help him either.

The order for Jason Lockwood’s execution never came. The news had reached Archie Lockwood, who said that the best way to punish someone was to let them live, trapped inside for the rest of their life.

That’s right. Only by living could he slowly accept all of his punishment.

Sometimes, death is truly a release. Therefore, those who have done wrong should not be allowed such an easy escape.

Jasmine Warren should have been sentenced for murder as soon as she regained consciousness. However, her mental state fluctuated between lucidity and madness, making a proper investigation impossible. Coupled with the fact that Jason Lockwood took all the blame, everyone came to believe that he had forced Jasmine to commit the murder.

Jason Lockwood was sentenced to life in prison, while Jasmine Warren was confined to a mental hospital for life.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of Leo Joyce and Tiana Grayson’s engagement arrived.

However, the Joyce Family had just lost a daughter, so Leo and Tiana’s engagement was postponed. Though it was officially a postponement, those in the know were well aware that the Grayson Family was inextricably linked to Aria Joyce’s death.

Adding to that Luna Lynch’s existing disapproval of the match, it was beyond doubt that it would be impossible for the two of them to be together.
