Chapter 1337
when the judge spoke to the defendant’s lawyer, the lawyer gave up on the defense.
The moment Maxine heard the sentencing, she looked as if her soul had left her body,
and when she was taken away, she couldn’t walk by herself.
Maisie and Nolan left the court. “How did you find the evidence?” she was surprised.
Nolan touched her nose. “It’s all thanks to your son.”
Wayion had found evidence in Maxine’s home, a pocket watch.
There was a picture of Tyson Reynolds and a woman who was the mother of the twins.
It showed the reason that Tyson had left the family for a few years.
On the way back, Maisie guessed that Tyson had met Sue and Maxine’s mother and had

However, they could not be together even when they loved each other because Tyson was married, and even if he
didn’t love his wife, he felt sorry for her.
The traditional ideology of marriage just tied them down. Since Lorraine Wolfsbane was Tyson’s cousin, he hadn’t
been very keen on marrying her but was forced to.
After their wedding, they had just been a couple by name. After Lorraine gave birth, Tyson left and worked
overseas.
Tyson had felt sorry for Lorraine too because if not for this arranged marriage, she would have married the man
she loved and built her own happy family.
Lorraine had been an understanding woman and never questioned him, so he treated her well in return.
Even when he left to work, he would bring gifts back for his wife and child, take care of the child, and love his wife
as a husband. After meeting a woman who stole his heart, he never asked for a divorce from Lorraine.
Between marriage and love, he had chosen the former because of a sense of responsibility and not love. Even for
the right person who had shown up in his life at the wrong time, he could only choose to let her down.
Maisie didn’t really understand, “why does Maxine hate her mother?”
Maxine hated her father because he was the reason she couldn’t have a complete and happy family. They had all
been mistreated since they were without a father and her mother had gotten pregnant before getting married.
But why would she hate her mother? Had she killed her mother because the latter loved Sue more than her?
Nolan pulled her into his arms and played with her hair. “She thought that her mother’s negligence when she was
young was the reason she had to go through her trauma, she felt that she wasn’t important to her mother.”
Maisie looked down. “They’re both her daughters. How could she think that she wasn’t
important?”

her mother love Sue more.
Some people liked to victimize themselves and complain to others to get some
sympathy, but who would know the truth?
Just like the videos online. Some were posted to create an illusion and a lie, but people
believed them.
Nolan smiled. “When someone’s mind is made, it’s hard for them to see the good in
others. That was how I felt about the old man too.”
He meant Titus.
He had been under the impression that Titus hadn’t sent someone to save his mother,
but it was because Rowena had hidden the fact that his mother was kidnapped, and
Titus had no idea. It had been too late when he found out.
