Chapter 721: Chapter 721: She Won’t Let Her Hands Be Stained with Sin

Although Julian Jennings has been deceased for over a decade, her fans have gradually drifted away.

Former fans either no longer chase celebrities or have moved on to others.

However, over the years, those who once loyally supported Julian Jennings have gradually become the pillars of society.

Yet, they have never forgotten that they once idolized someone.

Back when the International Entertainment Industry was still in its Euro-American era, she appeared like a shining star, securing a place in the industry.

During that time, Julian Jennings was a household goddess-like figure.

Especially when she suddenly fell from grace at the peak of her career, her thousands of fans were hopeful she would go further on the international stage.

When the news broke, it caused a significant shock among the fans and the entire entertainment industry.

Even now, after more than ten years, Julian Jennings’ former fans still harbor regret in their hearts.

Compared to the still immature young fans, they are more mature, more composed, and more capable.

Therefore, when the scandal about Sidney Dalton erupted online, Julian Jennings’ fans did not follow the trend of blindly criticizing Sidney Dalton.

Instead, they quickly organized Julian Jennings’ former fans, systematically controlling comments and managing data under those topics.

The fans also collectively wrote a proposal suggesting that Sidney Dalton’s case be publicly broadcast online during the safety bureau’s open trial and that Sidney Dalton’s final verdict be publicized on the internet.

The fans’ collective proposal quickly gained the support of other onlookers, who helped push the proposal onto trending topics.

So that the people from the safety bureau would notice it.

With the help of Julian Jennings’ fans and those netizens, the fans’ collectively written proposal was soon seen by the people at the safety bureau.

Given that Sidney Dalton’s actions had indeed involved many families, and he was an important figure in the entertainment industry.

If not handled properly, combined with the entertainment industry’s powerful spreading ability, it could cause a societal uproar, so after careful consideration, the safety bureau decided to agree with the proposal.

Although the head of the safety bureau thought the matter was a foregone conclusion, they had to ensure the public saw the complete process to fully convince them.

Also wary of those working behind the scenes, ensuring no one could escape the control of The Empire’s ordinances.

Even those born into aristocracy, The Empire’s laws would not allow it.

Thus, the head of the safety bureau decided to hold a public trial for Sidney Dalton three days later.

When the safety bureau responded about Sidney Dalton’s case, Selena Kensington received the news.

Three days later...

These three days were enough to allow the matter to ferment.

Three days were sufficient to bring Sidney Dalton’s actions to the public’s awareness, and more and more people would become involved in this matter.

In this way, what Sidney Dalton had done could no longer be concealed.

And the people at the safety bureau would naturally not hastily resolve the matter to give the public an explanation.

Selena Kensington glanced at her phone briefly before putting it down.

Only, just as she put it down, the phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID.

Annelise Mayfield.

Selena Kensington raised her eyebrows slightly, why would Annelise Mayfield call her?

Although slightly puzzled, Selena Kensington still answered, "Hello."

She responded.

"It’s me."

But the voice on the other end was Roxanne Sutton’s.

Selena Kensington was a bit surprised that Roxanne Sutton would call her willingly.

"What’s up?"

Though slightly surprised inside, Selena Kensington still responded.

"..."

Roxanne Sutton was silent for a while on the other end, and Selena Kensington did not rush her, but patiently waited for her to continue.

After a minute, Roxanne Sutton finally spoke, "I want to ask you, with your temperament, why would you show mercy to your enemy..."

"Shouldn’t you...have killed him..."

Roxanne Sutton paused several times while saying these two sentences.

Seemingly thinking about how to express her thoughts.

Although exposing Sidney Dalton’s actions to the public and having him despised by The Empire’s citizens...

And Sidney Dalton lost his position as Dalton Family Head and might spend the rest of his life in prison.

Roxanne Sutton believed that all this was still trivial compared to losing one’s life.

"Is that what you think?"

Selena Kensington didn’t rush to answer Roxanne Sutton’s question but instead asked in return.

"...Yes."

Upon hearing Roxanne Sutton’s ’yes,’ Selena Kensington chuckled softly.

"You’re right; I’m indeed not a benevolent person. But I’m not someone who believes in an eye for an eye either; though he took my parents from me, I don’t wish to stain my hands with his blood; he’s not worth it."

"As for whether you think Sidney Dalton will be safe in prison, no..."

Selena Kensington paused for a few seconds before slowly speaking again, "He will suffer increasingly worse than death... To him, death would be too easy."

Her tone was eerie, carrying an unspeakable danger and allure.

While she might spare Sidney Dalton’s life, she wasn’t allowing him to retire in peace within the prison.

She wanted him to constantly suffer from pains and moral torment even while imprisoned.

When she had asked Lark Mayfield for a favor, she had him plant a lure in Sidney Dalton’s mind.

And once Sidney Dalton was fully incarcerated, the lure in his mind would start to take effect.

Compared to the lure they suffered in her past life, Lark Mayfield, when planting the lure, also gave him another suggestion.

Ensuring that, no matter how painful it was, he would not think of ending his life.

"...I understand."

Roxanne Sutton’s voice on the other end was slightly hoarse.

After saying that, she ended the call with Selena Kensington.

After Roxanne Sutton hung up, Selena Kensington’s hands gently caressed her abdomen.

The now obvious swell was becoming more noticeable.

As she gazed at her belly, her eyes were unusually tender.

If previously Selena Kensington didn’t believe in karma.

After experiencing all this, she couldn’t help but believe in the connection of cause and effect.

Thus, she didn’t wish for her hands to be stained with blood and sin.

She couldn’t touch her child with hands that were tainted with evil.

Though possibly, her two children might prove even more ruthless than her...

After all, a child with The Beast Lord’s blood would naturally inherit the characteristics of the legendary beast.

For a moment, Selena Kensington anticipated how these two children would turn out once born.
