Chapter 84 - Covert Intentions

<At a hospital in the suburbs of Toronto>

A middle-aged woman was crying, calling the name of a 15 year-old girl who was struggling between life and death, as she was bleeding profusely due to sexual violence.

The mother, who was only a housewife, was shocked when she got the news that her beloved child was found by the roadside in a harrowing condition by a postman who had just returned from work.

Several doctors had tried to save the girl's life. Apart from injuries to her vital organs, the girl also had bruises around her face and stomach which would surely make people feel sorry for seeing her condition.

"Honey, where's Alice?? It's not Alice, right?!!" Shouted a man, who was the father of the girl, arriving with his 17-year-old son, while the girl was struggling in the operating room.

"Honey … our Alice …"

BAM.

Suddenly the girl's mother collapsed and fell on the floor, under the weight of the psychological burden she had to carry.

Some of the nurses immediately helped the poor woman. They understood how brokenhearted she was after seeing her daughter become a victim of brutal rape.

"Mom…! Mom …!" The boy shouted, calling his mother as she was taken to a room.

HONK

HONK

"Huh ..." Andrew opened his eyes when he heard the sound of a car horn coming from the direction of the gate of Viona's apartment.

Still sweating and breathing heavily, Andrew tried to move his car so that the car inside could get out. After moving his car, he grabbed a water bottle behind his seat.

In one gulp, he was able to finish half of the bottle. Again, he stared at the photo of Alice Julie Foy, his little sister. The dark incident from ten years ago had finally resurfaced in his mind. 

"I will make you pay for what you did to my sister, Franklin," said Andrew vengefully, as he hit the steering wheel repeatedly.

"Arrrgghh .... Damn you, Jacob Willan!!" shouted Andrew even more crazily when he remembered the dark incident that happened to his family.

Even though Frank was not the one who raped Alice brutally, but he was charged for negligence because he could not control his men so that his girlfriend, Alice, was gang-raped by four men. 

Even the judge's decision acquitted Frank from all charges against him, while the four bodyguards were sentenced to death for deliberately raping a minor and throwing her by the roadside.

"As you all heard my second son is innocent, he even mourned the incident that had happened to his girlfriend," said Jacob Willan in front of reporters, who were waiting for him in front of the court after the trial of Steven Foy's family's lawsuit on charges of rape of their daughter.

"And I am grateful that the judge can judge fairly on this case and for my concern and humanity Jacob Willan will provide financial assistance to the family of the victim. Hopefully with this little money, they can be a little consoled," Jacob Willan added, holding up a check of 6 million US dollars.

Hearing this, the reporters cheered to express their admiration for the generous attitude of Jacob Willan.

In the courtroom, Mrs. Felicia Foy, Andrew's and Alice's mother, looked very shocked to hear the judge's decision plus the statement from Mr. Jacob Wilan, who said that he had given money to her family as a form of compensation. She felt that the child's dignity was not considered by that rich family at all.

Mrs. Foy asked the judge to also punish Frank, as he was proven to be the first to take Alice's chastity on that fateful night, until finally the four of his men did the same thing as Frank did to Alice, causing a serious tear to the inside of her vital organs, which led to heavy bleeding.

"You Frank!!!! You should be punished, not them ..." shouted Mrs. Foy madly, when she saw Frank was taken out by his lawyer.

"Madame, don't you already know the decision? Young master Franklin did not force your daughter to come to the Willan family residence. Is the CCTV footage not enough to prove that?" snapped Willan family's lawyer, shouting at Mrs. Foy, who went crazy as she couldn't accept the judge's decision. 

"After all, they do it on a consensual basis. Moreover, how would a tiger ignore a piece of meat, when it was being offered in front of it?" Added the lawyer sharply.

Hearing the words of the Willan family lawyer, everyone present in the courtroom suddenly laughed loudly. They now even blasphemed Alice's action of visiting Willan's residence.

They said bad things would not have happened if the girl didn't come to the house. Franklin was acquitted of the charges because what happened to her was deemed not to be caused by Frank's interference.

Mrs. Foy went madder when everyone blasphemed her daughter, who was lying in a sickbed. Unable to bear the embarrassment and pain, Mrs. Foy finally committed suicide by firing a gun at her own head in the courtroom, which made the atmosphere in the courtroom chaotic.

The Willan family finally took Frank away from the court, while the police immediately secured the court for investigation. After Mrs. Foy was buried shortly thereafter, Alice followed her mother to the afterlife. She breathed her last breath after struggling for one week in the ICU.

Since then, Foy's family had fallen apart. Everyone had even criticized the actions of Mrs. Foy, who was considered disobedient to the law for causing a scene in the courtroom and even committing suicide. Alice's death didn't gain their sympathy as well, for they assumed that what happened to Alice was because of her own fault.

Finally Mr. Steven Foy and his son, Andrew, moved out of town and changed their last name to forget the bitter memories that befell their family.

Andrew closed his eyes after remembering his shattered past. He could still remember the laughter of his cheerful sister even now. His sister's case made Andrew determined to become a great policeman, so after graduating from high school, he immediately entered the police academy in the capital.

"You have to be punished too, Frank, because it's unfair for Alice if she was the only one to blame for what had happened to her." Andrew said softly, staring at the photo of his sister, Alice with young Frank in his wallet.

Andrew then drove his car away from Viona's apartment. He considered that his reunion with VIona was an advantage, because she indirectly brought him closer to his goal of taking revenge on the Willan family.

"I'm sorry for taking advantage of you, Vio," said Andrew flatly, as he continued to drive his car towards his official residence through the coldness of winter in the city.
