The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 638

"Exactly. Even if they show up uninvited and beg on their knees, we are not issuing a statement of leniency," Joseph agreed, his tone equally uncompromising.

He had spent months working tirelessly to ensure justice was served and to get justice for his in-laws. He wasn't about to give those criminals the slightest chance of an easier sentence.

The day before the funeral, Joseph's parents arrived from out of town.

Vivica took Chaim to meet them at their hotel. Cheryl had also accompanied Hillary to formally welcome their in-laws.

The moment Melanie saw Hillary, her eyes welled up with tears. She immediately walked over and took Hillary's hands in hers.

"Hillary, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Please prioritize your health. You still have Vivica and your grandson. Once everything here is settled, you should come back to Riverdale City with us. Let Vivica take care of you for a while."

Melanie wasn't overstepping by making the invitation; Joseph had already mentioned the idea to her, and she completely supported it.

Back when Vivica had just found out she was pregnant, Hillary had visited Riverdale, and Melanie had invited her to stay at the Baird estate so the family could spend more time together. Now, the timing couldn't be more perfect.

Because Hillary was in a wheelchair, Melanie had to stoop to speak to her. Concerned for his mother's back, Joseph quickly stepped in to assist. "Mom, why don't we sit on the sofa to chat?"

Melanie moved to the couch but never let go of Hillary's hands.

Hillary had spent the last few days constantly breaking down in tears. Hearing Melanie's comforting words, she couldn't help but cry again.
