When Sarah was almost done crying, the judge said to Shaun, "The intiff can present his statement."


    Shaun stood up and gazed at Sarah. Beneath his short ck hair, his perfect, handsome face was full of sadness and regret. "If someone asked me what first love is, I would think it''s a nightmare. I regret why I wanted to get to know you back then. You became my light during my younger days, so I treated you like family. For more than ten years, I gave what I could. Whether it was you or your family, I let all of you take and request anything from me. I only got married after you went missing for a few years.


    "Initially, it was just a contractual marriage with my wife. However, I gradually fell in love with her the more we spent time together. After that, you came back, and I felt guilty toward you. In order to thank you, I was always the first to lend a hand whenever you had a problem. But I didn''t know my actions had hurt my wife and drove her and my kids away from me for three years.


    "I regret it, especially these days when I''ve found out the truth. I regret it so much that I''ve been drunk every day and desperately want to stab myself to death with a knife. Because I regret it, I chopped off this finger of mine to atone for my sins."


    He raised his finger, which was still wrapped in a bandage. Everyone was horrified.


    Shaun continued saying, "In fact, I only just got to learn about the things that Thomas said earlier. I don''t think I owe Sarah anything. I just feel sorry for my ex- wife. I used to treat her as an unscrupulous woman who was greedy and vain, but I misunderstood her. I owe her too much.


    "I''m a bloody, living example. If other men experienced the same situation as me, I want to tell you guys this. Exes are exes. If you''re married, then you should end your rtionship with them. Don''t hurt your wife."


    "The reason I want to take back the 100 billion dors isn''t that I need the money, but because I think she doesn''t deserve it. A greedy woman like her doesn''t deserve to have that huge amount of money. If not, it''ll make some bad people in society and even a group of young people think they can take shortcuts and reap benefits by deceiving other people''s feelings."


    Shaun''s sharp eyes stared at Sarah. "I hope you''ll be able to earn money through your own abilities and have your feet on the ground."


    After he said hisst sentence, Sarah''s face was as pale as snow.


    Shaun was incredible.


    Heid down such long personal repentance of his feelings at the start and included a positive


    implication on society toward the end.


    That case had gotten very big, so the judge would emphasize bringing positive influences to the society.


    Sure enough, the judge became solemn. Aftermunicating with two juries for a while, she said," After two hearings, the court has listened to both parties'' statements. The following is the judgment of the court for this case:


    "The court deems that Sarah should return the 100 billion dors and the seaside vi to Shaun immediately. This money isn''t yours from the start. As for all the expenses Shaun spent on Sarah for more than ten years, there''s no need to get them back. This is a punishment for Shaun. As a man, you betrayed your wife and your children. You brought this upon yourself. This is a lesson for you."


    The judge paused for a while before looking at Sarah." Just now, there was a good sentence from the intiff. People can''t reap benefits by cheating other people''s feelings. What you have is already something that many others can''t have even after working hard their entire life. Don''t be too greedy."


    "This case has ended. The court adjourns."


    After the judge left the courtroom, Sarah sat on the chair, devastated.


    Her 100 billion dors was gone just like that.


    She was even told off by the judge in the courtroom.


    For Sarah, that was adding insult to injury.


    Stevens nced at her indifferently, and then he walked toward Shaun. "You really do deserve the title of the topwyer in Australia. You purposely put yourself at a disadvantage during the first hearing, right? You want to make this case go big and let the judge notice the negative influences that this case brings. 100 billion dors can tempt many people. If the judge didn''t sentence the money to you, many people would learn from Sarah."


    "That''s right, but you realized it toote."
