Chapter 190: Rich Criminal Was Not Criminal?
But even so, Julia Watkins framed people, stole paintings, and other unclean deeds the Zachary family had done before were all exposed in a flurry.
Things just snowballed as more and more people online became aware of it and more and more people came to condemn them.
And Zachary also said directly and frankly, "This time, I hope that the relevant departments will handle the matter fairly, and whoever dares to cover it up, is against the Leinster Family."
The results of the trial soon came out, the value of the Sleeping Beauty stolen by Julia was over a million dollars, which was a "particularly large amount" in the crime of theft, and the sentence according to the law was ten years or more of fixed-term imprisonment, or life imprisonment!
When this result came out, Julia couldn’t believe it!
She was once the hottest celebrity in Hiltonan and the proud daughter of the Watkins family!
How could she spend the rest of her life in jail!
After the incident, several media outlets scrambled to interview Julia, after all, she was considered the most prestigious group of people in Hiltonan, and now she was actually sentenced to life imprisonment for such an unsavory matter.
In front of the camera, Julia sobbed, "I’m sorry, I was really wrong, I... I really didn’t know things were so serious... I just wanted to teach Yvonne a lesson and scare her... I really didn’t think about actually stealing that painting, I have several paintings of such value in my own home, why would I steal hers..."
The video was put online and there was an immediate and huge controversy there.
"To be honest, this young lady is not bad looking... They say that beautiful women come out of Hiltonan, and it seems to be true. But such a beautiful beauty, it is said that she is also a rich girl, why did she want to steal things, what a pity!"
"Come to see me when you get out of jail, pretty girl, I don’t mind what you did (laugh emoji)."
There were also some former fans of Julia, chirping, "I’ve been following Julia’s personal page for years, emm ... Seriously, I really don’t think she would go so far as to steal a painting of millions, although it is already a lot for us, it is really nothing to Julia. Who the hell is that Yvonne Taylor, it must be her who set Julia up."
Another brainwashed fan said, "That’s right, no matter how others set her up, Julia will always be the goddess in my heart! I support her! That Yvonne Taylor must be ugly, that’s why she’s so jealous of our Goddess Julia!"
When these two messages came out, they were condemned all over the internet!
"It’s not stealing if a rich person steals from someone else? You mean if you’re rich, breaking the law doesn’t count as breaking the law? So what’s the point of having
money to kill people and commit crimes, so having money means you can do anything, right?"
"Isn’t that victim guilt theory to you guys? Because her family has ten million dollars €™ worth of stuff, so her stealing tens of millions is not considered stealing? And those who say others framed Julia, she stole the stuff herself, can’t a twenty-something year old tell what’s theft and what’s mischief? Pity on you, stupid people."
"And those of who say that Yvonne Taylor is ugly and jealous of Julia, look at what she looks like before you make such comments!"
After saying that, a picture of Yvonne was posted.
In the photo, it was a side face of Yvonne in the sweet shop, in the crowd, she stood out with the perfect shape and temperament, solid big beauty.
She was forking a macaroon and smiling at the man across from her. She looked better than most celebrities in street photos, not to mention Julia, they were not even on the same level!
...
Yvonne was shocked when she saw the picture.
When was this taken? She’d forgotten what time it was.
"These people online is horrible, isn’t this a dessert shop that I went to once for dessert with Zachary when I was in school at Zandia University before I was married and had kids?"
On the phone, Yvonne complained to Yesmina.
Yesmina lay carelessly in her chaise lounge, holding her large belly as she opened her mouth to swallow a large grape that Frank had peeled to her mouth with his own hands.
"Yes, my daughter just looks so good even in hidden camera."
Yvonne was confused and thought to herself.
"Is this really still the same strong woman? What is she focusing on?"
Then she said, "Mom, what are you thinking?"
"I was thinking, I’ve made you so beautiful, it’s a shame you’re not going to make money as a star."
Yvonne was shocked to hear that. Wasn’t the point that people online were arguing about her and Julia Watkins?
"Mom, give the phone to Dad!"
Mom seemed to have been dizzy enough to talk to Dad.
As a result, Frank picked up the phone with a burst of impatience.
"Your mother is right, nothing more, I’ll hang up now, I have to peel grapes for your mother."
Yvonne was stunned.
"I am being doxed. Are the grapes more important??!"
When Frank heard that his daughter was going to be doxed, he finally came back to his senses: "Huh? What? Who! Who’s doxing you! They found you? Yvonne, don’t be afraid, Dad will rush over with a kitchen knife right now!"
Yvonne complained, "Dad, you guys don’t care about me too much, you go look online, I’m about to be scolded to death by Julia Watkins’ fans!"
Julia Watkins, relying on the fact that she was a rich woman, often shared her high-end life on the Internet. She had attracted millions of fans, who were now calling for the doxing of Yvonne.
When Frank heard that, "What? They haven’t found you? Just cursing on the internet? Then what’s the big deal of it!"
Yvonne answered back, "I’m being scolded, why can’t I say something?"
"Go find your husband!" Said her father, snapping and hanging up the phone.
Yvonne was speechless.
What the hell?
The irritated Yvonne found Zachary.
"Hey, honey." Yvonne felt wronged.
When Zachary heard the whole story, he blackened his face and immediately assigned a professional PR team to handle the matter.
"Honey, don’t be afraid, hubby will help you destroy them!"
Yvonne really wanted to cry.
With Yesmina and Frank as a comparison, Yvonne now realized that Zachary was really good to her.
"Hubby, from today, I got nobody but you..." "Silly Yvonne. I was meant to be yours." On the phone, Zachary was very happy. But she was unaware of his thoughts.
He was happy that his image in Yvonne’s heart was finally more magnificent than Frank’s.
He remembered how Frank used to despise him, but now...

As it turned out, the eyes of people were still discerning.
Once Julia Watkins’ verdict came out, coupled with the fact that a bunch of harmful deeds done by the Watkins family in the past was exposed, those voices supporting Julia Watkins gradually became smaller and smaller until they disappeared.
Those who had threatened to find Yvonne had also received various phone calls recently, warning them that cyber hunting was against the law and telling them to watch their words.
The few online vicious words were some teenage high school students, after receiving such a call, they thought they were hunting, so their phone numbers had been exposed and they were afraid to be alone after school, hiding under the covers and crying for several hours.
Then this affair was gradually faded out.
...
Just a birthday party for Zachary showed everyone what Yvonne was capable of.
They were still questioning whether Zachary had just married a young and beautiful silly girl, but now it was all there for all to see, Yvonne, was far more capable than they had imagined.
The people around them had to take a shine to her.
So all kinds of people started wanting to invite her, to meet her.
Those in the wives’ circle had been clamoring to get involved with her, even eager to become best friends with her.
It was just that pretty much everyone in the wives’ circle was a big sister in her 30s and 40s, and Yvonne was only 19, so she still had no common language with them.
When Zachary learned of this, his attitude was casual, "If you don’t want to go, don’t go, there is nothing that had to be done in the first place."
Yvonne, however, shook her head, "If it was just for me, of course, I won’t go. It’s just that I’m now Mrs. Leinster, not only Yvonne, but also Zachary’s wife, and the mother of two babies, so there are some things that I have to face."
This was something she had thought about clearly when she decided to organize Zachary’s birthday party.
So, Yvonne went for it.

Blue Bay.
The top mall in Hiltonan.
The people who shop here were basically top VIPs.
Not only did they have money, but they also had a taste.
In the past, when Yvonne was still the daughter of the Taylor family, she rarely even came to such places. After all, this kind of place wasn’t something you could come to just because you had money, and a killjoy like her before, Blue Bay didn’t love to receive her.
The people from the wife’s circle were meeting at such places today.
Once Yvonne arrived, she did see several wives dressed in gold and silver.
Most of them had two bodyguards with them and were very enthusiastic when they saw Yvonne.
"Hi, Mrs. Leinster, you’re here."
"Yes, Mrs. Leinster, how come you didn’t bring a bodyguard with you."
Yvonne was speechless and thought to herself, "Isn’t this just a shopping trip? They are not stars. No wonder Zachary didn’t even suggest letting me come. Because he knows that there are basically very few people in the wife circle who have good brains."
But on her face, Yvonne was still smiling and unwillingly said, "Gee, I’ve only just not been a wife for a few days, so next time, I’ll know to bring a bodyguard."
A few others said, "Gee, Mrs. Leinster is so modest."
"That’s right, Zachary loves and pampers you so much, how could he not arrange this for you, it’s you who’s keeping a low profile."
"It’s just that shopping is also physical work, Larry, go and help Mrs. Leinster carry her things today." A Mrs. said enthusiastically.
A few other wives immediately squinted.
This was a great offer, and she was ahead of them!
During the shopping trip, Yvonne was just being offered affection all the time.
For the first time, she experienced that being a big shot wasn’t that comfortable. It was really embarrassing as hell.
Especially, those women really didn’t blink when it came to spending money. Often, they just wrapped it up without even looking at it.
Having experienced the darkness of her previous life, Yvonne had always been a bit repulsed by such profligacy.
She had always felt that it was in her heart to make as much money as she could afford and to spend as much as she could.
This including buying things, which should be only the right ones, not the expensive ones. Expensive didn’t necessarily mean good, but as long as it was the right one and she truly liked it, she would buy it even if it was more expensive.
But these women, apparently, were challenging her thoughts on this now.
"This one, this, this, wrap it all up for me!"
"Swipe this card!"
"Swipe this!"
"I want the whole row over there!"
