“I have to keep fighting with the appeal. I won’t give up my children! They’re my flesh and blood, and I won’t let go….”

Joanna was engulfed in a desperate sadness, despite taking her morning medication, her depression persisted.

Mr. Brycen’s face was filled with guilt after losing the lawsuit..

Although his legal team was skilled, they were no match for Bruce’s team!

“Miss Haynes, I am so sorry! I should have done better,” Mr. Brycen apologized.

Joanna trembled uncontrollably and grabbed the lawyer’s arm. “What are our chances of winning the appeal?”

Mr. Brycen paused, his sympathetic gaze fixed on Joanna. “I recommend… seeking a private settlement.”

He genuinely wanted to help Joanna win this legal battle!

But he also knew that he was going up against the wealthiest man in Greyport!

Furthermore, the other lawyers in his team had been bribed. He couldn’t possibly defeat Bruce’s formidable legal team alone!

Continuing with the appeal would only lead to more legal expenses!

After she heard Mr. Brycen’s analysis, Joanna’s vision darkened. She struggled to maintain her composure.

“Miss Haynes, please be careful! Above all, take care of your well–being.”

Joanna took a moment to regain her composure as her eyes could see things clearly.

This defeat was devastating to her.

Joanna remained immersed in profound sorrow. Not far away, a swarm of reporters had been waiting for her. When she emerged from the courthouse, they pounced on her like hungry wolves.

“Ms. Haynes! We heard that custody was awarded to Mr. Everett! Will you continue with the appeal?”

“Ms. Haynes! If the appeal is denied, will you still fight for custody?”

The reporters clamored, shoving their microphones toward her. Each one regarded her with their predatory eyes as if she were a succulent prey.

“I beg you, please stop focusing on me and let me be!” Joanna lost control in front of the cameras, completely breaking down emotionally.

She couldn’t bear being exploited as a mere spectacle by these reporters, and she didn’t want to live under others‘ constant scrutiny and verbal attacks.

Nicholas had arrived in a car. “Miss Haynes, please get in!”

Mr. Brycen and Cora shielded Joanna from the cameras, and Joanna climbed into the car in a disheveled state, feeling injured.

Upon returning home, Joanna surveyed her empty house, her heart feeling hollowed out.
