Noticing this, Rena hurriedly approached Vera and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Why are you crying? I thought you've been looking forward to this day for a long time!"

Vera nodded and sniffled.

Before they could enter the detention house, another car arrived.

When they turned around, they saw Joseph hurriedly stepping out of the car.

Joseph stared at Vera with mixed emotions brewing on his face.

Aline had it coming to her due to her past wrongdoing. Joseph's family had been urging him to get married since he was single for some time. While he had dated several women, none of those relationships lasted long enough to reach marriage.

The villa where he once lived with Vera during their marriage remained untouched, its original state preserved.

From time to time, Joseph would go there and pay a visit.

Sometimes, he would lay on the bed, close his eyes, and pretend that he and Vera were still together.

But he could only wallow in this illusion for so long.

They were already divorced. Vera had already married Roscoe and led a happy life.

The moment Vera saw Joseph, a surge of emotions welled in her chest.

After all, both Joseph and Aline had caused tremendous pain to her in the past. Even though so many years had passed since then, she still harbored a lingering resentment toward them.

Seeing Vera standing next to Roscoe, Joseph could only flash a bitter smile.

After pulling some strings, Joseph, Vera and Rena were finally allowed to enter.

Aline had requested to meet three of them.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of everything," Joseph assured everyone.

The reception room in the detention center was small and plain, but at this point in Aline's life, this was no longer her concern.

Aline sat there quietly, with both her hands and feet chained together.
