"I know, I know! She's only in the hospital because Winona smashed a vase over her head, right in front of Mrs. Shaw! Mrs. Shaw was absolutely livid. She thinks Winona has lost her damn mind. Honestly, she didn't just snap recently—she's been insane with jealousy for years."

Drake's expression turned frigid. He pulled out a sleek credit card and handed it over. "Find out what designer bags Sisi likes these days and send her a few to cheer her up."

Vanessa beamed, eagerly snatching the card. "Hehe, consider it done! She always loves my taste. I'll go shopping for her right now. But honestly, Drake, I think she's in love with Zach. She's just too scared to admit it because of their complicated dynamic. She's so pitiful, especially since she's known him for just as long."

Drake's Adam's apple bobbed multiple times as he disappointedly averted his eyes. "Just go buy the bags."

"Yes, sir! But what about Wesley...?"

Drake's tone hardened. "I'll see what I can do, but there's no way we're pulling him out on bail. The public outrage is way too intense. The best I can manage is shaving a few years off his sentence."

"Okay, I'll let Aunt Victoria know."

Vanessa cheerfully strutted out of the office.

Receiving the grim update, Victoria was completely inconsolable. How could her precious boy possibly be subjected to prison?

Consumed by a venomous hatred, she was ready to storm the TV station to confront Winona herself. But then, the parents of the girl Wesley had killed suddenly appeared outside the station. The elderly couple was literally on their knees by the main entrance, begging to see Winona.

This heartbreaking spectacle instantly drew a massive crowd of pedestrians, and dozens of people immediately whipped out their phones to livestream the scene.

"Those are the parents of the girl Wesley Vance ran over! They've been fighting the courts for nine years. They've gone completely gray and apparently sold their home to pay legal fees. It's so tragic."

"At least they're finally getting justice, even if it's almost a decade late."
