I arrived late to the court proceedings.

The instant my father's gaze met mine, I could see lingering anxiety in his eyes.

I tried to reassure him with a look, indicating he shouldn't worry.

The proof was undeniable, and I, serving as the witness, described what had occurred.

Stephany was inevitably found guilty.

She had deliberately caused me harm, created significant online controversy, and was even implicated in inciting cyberbullying.

On my wedding day, she had destroyed property valued at around 200 thousand dollars.

The judge ordered her to pay five times that amount in damages and serve a decade behind bars.

When Stephany heard the verdict, she collapsed to one side.

My father had informed me that her family wasn't well-off.

She had always seemed self-reliant and tough.

Now, it appeared she was skilled at faking it.

Upon learning Stephany would be liable for the damages, her relatives who had urged her actions suddenly acted like strangers.
