The inheritance dispute finally ended. The court summarized all the merits for awarding the verdict in favor of Tristan Mendez. All the petitions, evidence submitted by Troy's camp through his advocate were quashed by Tristan's camp. The presiding magistrate gave his final and irrevocable ruling.
"By order of this court, Tristan Mendez is declared the sole heir of the late Theodore Mendez," the magistrate declared, striking his gavel once.
While the ruling for the inheritance dispute was being delivered, in the adjoining courtroom, Terry received his sentence for his crimes. Every document he had signed was included in his charge sheet. Terry's punishment was severe.
Troy believed himself vindicated, thinking his lapdog had been punished while he remained untouched. He did not know that Lady Arriane, serving as the Royal Crown's auditor, had already begun scrutinizing his transactions, deals, and financial records.
