After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 1193 Three-Year Sentence

Chapter 1193 Three-Year Sentence

Three days later, Little Bunny went back to filming. Theodore's trial was scheduled for a month later.

Little Bunny didn't show up in court. Oscar, Susan and Manuel had arrived in the Capital early, along

with Hannah. They all sat in the audience seats, tucked away in a corner and keeping quiet.

In court, Theodore wore prison clothes and had short hair. Susan couldn't help feeling sorry for him as

she looked at his appearance.

"How could Theodore be so foolish?" she whispered to Manuel. "He knew what he was doing was

illegal."

Manuel didn't comment on it. He found it hard to judge since Theodore tended to act impulsively and

straightforwardly when trying to do something good for someone else, even if it meant risking his own

life or breaking the law.

"What about Little Bunny?" Susan asked after looking around.

The other day when Little Bunny called her on the phone, Susan could hear that she was sobbing

uncontrollably on the other end of the line. Now that it was such an important day for Theodore's trial,

she wasn't there.

"I'll call her," said Susan as she reached for her phone. But Manuel grabbed her hand before she could

dial any numbers.

"Don't call her." He said firmly. "There must be a reason why she isn't here."

"What reason?"

"Theodore doesn't want her here."

"How can that be? Theodore loves her so much. How could he not want to see her?"

"Have you forgotten what Theodore told you before? He doesn't want Little Bunny to feel guilty or

obligated towards him anymore. Instead, he wants to give her freedom, if that's what she wants, she

shouldn't show up here today, or she would give Theodore hope again. If she doesn't want to leave

him, she shouldn't show up either, cause that would only make Theodore more distressful by thinking

that Little Bunny was still guilty about what happened between them. So the best result is her absence.

Now Theodore would believe she has released everything that weighs her down and started living her

own life." Explained Manuel.

"So, does she forget Theodore or not?" Susan was still puzzled by the situation.

"I think, the second one is more likely. Maybe she's reassuring Theodore in her way. So she'll live the

life Theodore wishes her to do. But, that's merely my speculation. We can only know the truth when

Theodore is released. What twists and turns it will take a few years later, I can't say."

Susan frowned slightly at this analysis from Manuel, who sometimes seemed too smart for his good.

He could talk in circles without saying anything concrete at all.

But she didn't try to call Little Bunny again.

The trial had started at this moment while the courtroom was silent. Theodore admitted to abusing his

power and had a very proper attitude about it. He was sentenced to three years in prison in the first

trial. Theodore immediately stated that he would not appeal and accepted the verdict.

Therefore, news of Theodore's three-year sentence for abuse of private rights quickly spread. And

soon it was officially confirmed by the authorities.

Little Bunny read the news on her phone. She knew Theodore had gone to court today, but she was

overseas filming and couldn't go back. She decided not to go back since she didn't want Theodore to

think she hadn't moved on. Theodore didn't want her carrying guilt either, and she didn't want him

worrying about her all the time. This was probably what mutual support means. Even though they were

living apart now.

Theodore was taken to prison, and everyone else left the courtroom too. Oscar's group naturally took a

special route out. Susan dragged Hannah along with Manuel, walking with Oscar as well.

As they walked, Susan sighed, "With Theodore gone, I feel like something is missing around me, it

feels empty."

Everyone felt this way. Theodore was an active person who livened up any atmosphere most of the

time. Without him around, Susan felt like there wasn't anyone contradicting her anymore, which made

her uncomfortable.

"Speaking of which," Susan looked at Oscar, "you should be feeling worse than anyone else right now."

"Do you feel like your left or right hand has been cut off?"

Oscar nodded in response. But what was more important than that was that he lost someone who

could echo him in mind.

"Do you want me to accompany you for a few drinks?" asked Susan.

Oscar seemed pretty unlucky these days. Everything just seemed harsher for him compared to others,

despite appearing successful on the surface level. Love always eluded him while his brother distanced

himself from him too.

"Hmm," Oscar nodded his head.

With Theodore going to jail, he felt somewhat depressed. Drinking some alcohol wouldn't hurt as a way

of relieving stress.

"Shall we go back to your place then?"

"Sure."

"Hannah will come along too." Susan kept pulling Hannah along with her all this time. Even if Hannah

wanted to leave she couldn't escape easily anymore.

"You can also see Salem there." Susan tried to lure Hannah over.

Hannah glared at Susan. Having spent so much time with Manuel, she had become smarter.

"Get in then!" Without waiting for Hannah's consent, Susan pulled her into Oscar's car.

Oscar just stared at Hannah intently as they drove away. With Hannah around, Oscar always felt a little

more at ease. It had taken him a lot of effort and thought because of Theodore in the last few days.

The group went straight to Oscar's house. Salem and Una were having lunch in kindergarten so they

wouldn't come back. So there were only four of them at the dinner table. And then Max opened several

bottles of wine.

Susan announced, "Starting today, I am weaning myself off breast milk. So I can enjoy spicy food and

alcohol now!"

Hannah looked at Susan and said, "You're not using Theodore as an excuse to drink on your own, are

you?!"

"On the one hand only." Susan refused to admit, "I am still sad because of Theodore. Drinking is a way

to vent emotions, right, Your Excellency?"

Susan deliberately called out Oscar's title, telling him that she would make Hannah drunk here today

and leave her to him.

Oscar didn't dare to have a drunken affair with Hannah, for fear that Hannah would kill him after that.

But if that were the case, it would be better than her disappearance again.

"If Theodore knows that you are treating him like this, he will cry himself to death in prison," Hannah

said. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

"Theodore is not that stingy. He would only cry because he didn't get to drink alcohol. By the way, can

you drink alcohol in prison? When should I bring some for Theodore?" Susan asked excitedly.

"Can you have some common sense? Do you think Theodore is on vacation?" Manuel said to Susan.

"I was just joking to make everyone laugh, why are you so angry with me!" Susan exclaimed.

Manuel pursed his lips.

"Manuel, I knew it, you're starting to dislike me now, aren't you?" Susan looked sad. "Now that I don't

have to breastfeed your precious daughter anymore, so you think I'm useless!"

"When I was giving birth, he promised to perform a sexy dance for me. Now our daughter is 7 or 8

months old and has been weaned, but I still haven't seen it!" Susan said more and more aggrievedly.
