No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 528 - 526: Touched [3rd Update]

In the doctor’s office, Maya Spencer looked at Liam Spencer’s head wound and the bloodstains on his clothes, feeling distressed. She tightly held his hand and asked, "Third Brother, does it hurt?"

"It’s fine, it doesn’t hurt."

"Next time, wherever you go, I’ll go with you. You’re not allowed to refuse me." Maya took the opportunity to negotiate with Liam.

"Hmm! From now on, Maya will protect Third Brother." Liam knew Maya was worried about him, so he didn’t contradict her but went along with her words to set her mind at ease.

After the wound was bandaged, Maya drove Liam home.

Originally, Liam wanted to go to the company, but Maya strongly opposed it, saying he needed to rest. Seeing the girl’s worried expression, Liam kissed her on the lips and let her drive him home.

In the car, Maya looked at the circle of white bandages wrapped around the man’s head. She tightly held his large hand with her right hand and asked, "Third Brother, are you going to the second trial of Sister Jane Spencer tomorrow?"

"Going!" This incident was a thorn in everyone’s heart. No matter what the outcome, no one wanted to face it, but there was no choice.

Maya glanced at Liam, noting the man remained calm. She took a deep breath, hoping that no more mishaps would occur tomorrow; neither she nor Liam could handle it anymore.

These days, everyone lived under a lot of pressure, and even though there were frequent gatherings, no one was truly happy inside.

...

The next morning, as the sky just started to lighten, Maya woke up, startled by Liam’s unsteady breathing.

When Maya raised her head, she saw Liam with furrowed brows and a serious look in his eyes, as though thinking of something very solemn.

Maya didn’t need much thought to know what worried Liam. Today was Sister Jane’s second trial, and at this moment, apart from worrying about Jane, what else could concern Liam?

Seeing she was awake for a while without him noticing, Maya snuggled closer in his arms as a reminder.

Only then did Liam notice the girl in his arms was awake.

Seeing Maya’s wide eyes staring at him, he softly smiled at her, lifting his right hand to gently caress her small face, and asked, "Did I wake you?"

"No." Maya shook her head, hugging Liam even tighter.

Immediately after, she said, "Third Brother, you’re so gloomy, I’m really worried."

A few days ago, Liam had been in a slightly better mood, but the matter with Nolan Woods had completely disturbed his state of mind.

Liam looked at the girl’s furrowed brows, kissed her forehead, and said, "In a few days, it will be better."

Liam thought he wouldn’t be emotionally affected by these people and events, but in the end, he couldn’t escape it and was still touched.

Last night, while he was sleeping, he kept dreaming about things from his and Jane’s childhood, making him increasingly reluctant to see her.

However, he must attend her trial.

So, he raised his right hand, patted Maya’s backside, reminding her, "Time to get up, have breakfast, and go to court."

"Hmm hmm!" Maya nodded and immediately emerged from the warm bed.

...

At 9 o’clock, Liam took Maya to the court and entered the audience area of the courtroom.

When Jane Spencer was brought out, everyone covered their mouths, shocked. Maya’s eyes widened, thinking she was seeing things.

However, hearing the surrounding chatter, she realized her eyes were not deceiving her. Jane’s hair had turned completely white.

When Maya turned to look at Liam, she noticed his expression was very grim.

Clearly, from his expression, one could tell that when Liam saw Sister Jane yesterday, her hair hadn’t turned white yet.

Yesterday, when Liam told Jane that Nolan Woods had died, Jane didn’t shed a single tear, even after hitting Liam with her cuffed hands.

After Liam left, she huddled in a corner of the detention room, neither eating nor drinking, not even moving.

The next day, when the prison guard did their rounds, they found Jane’s hair had turned completely white overnight, nearly scaring them half to death.

Sitting in the audience area, Liam watched from a distance at Jane, whose hair was completely white, feeling shocked. He thought, the one she loved so much, Nolan Woods, why didn’t she know to stop earlier? Why let things escalate to this point?

In the subsequent questioning, Jane confessed to her crimes without hesitation, truthfully recounting everything, even admitting to the incident where Nolan helped her spray something in Ethan Turner’s car. After all, Nolan was dead, so there was no point in hiding it any longer.

Finally, the judge announced, "According to the penal code of the Republic of XXX, article XXX, Jane Spencer is convicted of hiring someone to commit murder and is sentenced to life imprisonment, with all political rights stripped, effective immediately."

The final outcome was expected by everyone, so there was no surprise. However, Maya’s focus remained on Jane’s head of white hair.

But then, everyone heard Jane weakly say, "Judge, sentence me to death! I committed murder intentionally, and not just once."

After Nolan’s passing, Jane had lost all will to live. Last night in the detention room, she considered suicide but couldn’t find the tools to do it. Fearing she might not succeed in killing herself by crashing into the wall and would only summon the guards, she dismissed the idea, leaving the thought of death for today’s court.

Now, Jane desired nothing but death, but to her dismay, she was only sentenced to life.

The judge, seeing Jane’s resolve for death, felt helpless but didn’t change the verdict due to her plea, so she was ultimately sentenced to life.

As Jane was being led away, her gaze remained fixed on Liam, her eyes looking chilling.

Maya, seeing Jane’s cold stare, tightly clutched Liam’s arm, watching Jane being taken away.

Moments later, Elijah Reed and Ella Turner arrived.

Elijah, noticing the melancholic look in Liam’s eyes, spoke in a consoling tone, "Boss, everything has been arranged in prison; Miss Spencer won’t suffer."

Meanwhile, in the prison where Jane was held, she looked at her ’room’ with a cold smile on her lips.

The place where she was detained was not shabby. It was a small unit with a private bathroom. In the room, there was a walnut-colored 1.2-meter bed covered with a dark blue checkered sheet, and a round small dining table with two chairs in the center.

Looking at the two chairs, Jane thought, was Liam planning to visit often?

On the right side of the wall, there was a two-meter-wide bookshelf filled with books, with a 1.2-meter desk next to it. These two pieces of furniture occupied the entire width of the wall.

Beyond the desk was a small bathroom of about two square meters.

Jane took a deep breath, walked closer to the bookshelf, and casually flipped through the books, finally pulling out a copy of "Dream of the Red Chamber."

She had read this book when she was young. Although she had read it twice, she hadn’t fully understood it, but now she had plenty of time to study.

As she turned her head to look at the door, the iron door kept reminding her every second that she was a person without freedom.
