    Kaia felt a sharp pang in her chest.

    Vanessa was truly an innocent caught up in this nightmare because of her.

    Kaia still felt guilty but was moved by Vanessa’s understanding.

    Lancion sneered, “Jail time isn’t enough. Let me tell you, you’re not getting out easily. After this sentence, you’ll keep getting sent back to jail for other crimes. You’ll rot in there.

    “And about Lama, you’ve visited her in prison, right? I won’t show any mercy.”

    Meanwhile, in the prison, Luna and the others watched the local news every night.

    She’d been waiting eagerly, hoping to hear the news of Jerry killing Kaia.

    Luna never thought that the little boy she’d casually asked her parents ito /isponsor when she was a kid woulde to visit her in prison.

    Jerry was like herst hope for revenge against Kaia.

    Now, Luna was sharing a cell with Sally.

    Sally seemed to be trying to get on her good side, probably because she’d heard that Luna had helped Kimberly a lot.

    So,pared to when she first arrived, Luna was having a
