Revenge After Prison Never Forgiven (Abigail) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259

Honestly, Gabriel and the others were absurdly lucky. Even now–aber everything–someone was still willing to spend a fortune on their defense. All that just so they could stay free and continue to make Abigail’s life misérable,

At the courthouse, Abighit’s lawyer and the attorney Blair had hired for Gabriel’s side were already locked in a heated legal battle, each Fercely delending. their client

Abigail sat in the gallery. Her gaze swept over Gabriel, Blanca, and Stephen. The elderly couple looked utterly haggard, keeping their heads bowed throughout the proceedings as if trying to hide from prying eyes.

Stephen had spotted her the moment she arrived. And when he saw her staring at him with the same cold indifference, it hit him hard.
