Chapter 722 Adjudication Three days later, the court session was held. Just as Evan and Naniea had
expected, even though Silas had erased the matter of Ellen’s death, Lara still had the motive to kill
Ellen. In the trial, the crime of false accusation, intentional homicide, poisoning, and other crimes were
punished concurrently. Even though Penny had hired the best lawyer for Lara, the latter was still
sentenced to eleven years and six months. Because Edward schemed against Ellen for the fake
cheating, he was sentenced to two years and three months in prison. Because Kaylee was the main
contributor, she was sentenced to five years and seven months in prison. This time, Silas specially
brought Ellen back to Summer City from Promise Island, so that she could personally witness the
adjudication! The old man was not in good health, and Silas was worried that the old man would be

come to accompany him when he came back. After leaving the court, Silas took Gianna and her son,
Ellen and Brian, and a large group of people returned to the old house together. At this time, Old Man
Nolan was sitting in a wheelchair, sitting in front of the French window in the living room, looking at the
bleak scene outside.
His expression was worried, looking sad and lonely. It was only when he saw the car driving in one
after another in the yard that the old man had a smile on his face. Seeing this, Connor hurriedly pushed
the old man to the gate. Soon, Silas and the others had entered the house. “Grandpa, we are here.”
Old Man Nolan looked in the direction that Silas was pointing and saw Ellen. “Ellen?” “Dad.” After
saying that, Ellen also reacted. She smiled awkwardly and said, “I can’t call you dad anymore.” “Of
course, you can call me dad? If you don’t want to be my daughter-in-law, just be my daughter.” “Dad,
how are you? How have you been?” I heard from Silas that you were sick. I was so anxious.” “It’s okay.
Gianna cured me. What about you? I heard from Rocky that you can’t walk with your legs.” Ellen said,
“Well, it was cured by an otherworldly expert!” “Let’s go in and talk!” Silas smiled. Ellen said. “Yes, I
forgot as I was talking. Let me push you!” As she spoke, she took the wheelchair in Connor’s hand and
pushed Old Man Nolan into the living room. It had been too long since they last saw each other.
Everyone had too many things to say. Ellen knew that it was the old man who helped her secretly to
live until today. She was too grateful to this old man. And how could Old Man Nolan not know what her
bastard son had done? No matter how much he did, he could not make up for the debt Nolan family
owed her. Today’s court session could also be considered as a consolation for the victim! Everyone

concerns and longing. Silas and the other juniors couldn’t get in a word. After talking for a long time,
Old Man Nolan asked, “How were they sentenced?” Silas said, “Lara got eleven years and six months.
Edward got two years and three months!” “That’s good. Ellen, don’t blame me for being biased. They
are my children. I really couldn’t make a choice!” Ellen said, “Dad, you don’t have to say it. I
understand. I’ve been thinking about you ever since I left the court. I’m afraid that you’ll think too much.
You didn’t have to take the risk to save me. Silas is safe and sound for so many years, I know that
you’ve been protecting him in secret. I’m very grateful to you.” Old Man Nolan waved his hand, “Don’t
mention it. Rocky is also my grandson. This is what I should do. Don’t have any estrangement in your
heart. Even though they have been free and unfettered for so many years, in the end, they still haven’t
escaped the punishment of the law. In the future, you can come back openly.”
