552 What to Do? - Part 3
Sunday, continued ...
Alecia took a short breath, having gotten over the hardest part and continued "Lu Jinhu now indicates that he has not issue in handing the footage to the police as in the end his view is that his father deserves what happens to him. ?He just hoped that his actions while delaying justice will give me the justice I deserve." Alecia paused for a few seconds "I am not totally sure as to whether what he is saying is the truth, but if it is, I can only be grateful that he is willing cooperate to get me justice."
"Alecia, do you want him to go to jail?"
"Absolutely. ?But for how long, I am not certain. ?Before the letter as I said I would have liked to see him jailed for life, but now not that long, but I do not know for how long I want him jailed. ?The problem for me is I know his wife is pregnant, and I worry for his child. ?Yang Lin is a total airhead and she lives for her social media and does not seem to care who she hurts with whatever she does."
"Alecia, you should not worry about that. It is not your problem."
"Anna, I know what it is like to have a mother that does not care, and Yang Lin, is all about what she sees as a role. Her attitude is like my biological mother when she sticks her nose in our lives. That makes me worry for their child, particularly if Lu Jinhu is in jail as there will be no one to protect it from harm. Ton, Junior and I were lucky that we had Dad who was willing to step up for us and protect us from our biological mother. ?We are all the better for his willingness to sacrifice himself for us. ?I really think I need to check what he has stated in his letter before making a decision."
"Alecia, all I am going to say is you need to make the right decisions for you, not let anything else interfere. That includes what he has to say." After pausing, Anna continued "When you are ready make the decision, however we need to stop sitting here, and go and join in the fun over there."
"Anna, do not avoid giving me answers. ?What do you think about his story?"
"Alecia, you know I will never trust him. ?He has hurt me too much but knowing this does put some things in perspective. ?I remember him going to hospital for testing with respect to a bone marrow donation. ?He said it was for a school friend's child and convinced me to get tested as well. ?We both assumed that neither of us would be a match for the child. ?But..."
"You still think he is self-serving in his claims?"
Anna nodded her head "But you have to balance out, allowing a deal to be stuck means that you are unlikely to have to give evidence in court. ?That will, from what I understand, save you from even having your and James' s*x life discussed in court. ?But you must compromise on a sentence. ?I was not strong enough to confront Lu Jinhu in court over what he did to me in a contested hearing where I had no control on the outcome, despite having your Uncle Yi with me."𝒇𝔯𝗲𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝚗o𝚟𝗲𝑙 - 🅽🅽novel
"My decision Alecia was influenced by the intimate relationship we had. ?If I had known this information, I would not have changed what I agreed to with respect to the criminal matters involving me. ?Your situation is different. ?It is a one-off interaction, and in reality, you are going after the person more responsible for the harm to you. ?The choice is yours Alecia."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click NNnovel.comfor visiting.
Alecia paused, and though about what Anna had said. ?She was right. ?She needed to weigh up what was important, and that was getting the person with the largest responsibility for what happened. ?"Anna, thank you. ?I have a direction for what I have to consider, and I can talk to James and my parents as to what I want."
Anna paused and wondered what she had done to make Alecia feel happy "I have not done anything."
"You have. ?You listened and did not interrupt me which has let me work through what I need to consider. ?Now I just have to make my decision."
Anna stood up and walked over towards where everyone was playing the games that had been set up, and joined in the fun oblivious to when Ben and Adam disappeared to milk and their return and Susan left for her overnight shift.
