Chapter 1550
"He doesn't need to be jailed," Fanny said, confused. "One word from him, and his lawyers will be able to exonerate
him. I just don't understand why he'd rather go to jail."
"He wants to pay for his father’s sins," Diana said with a sigh.
Fanny didn't know what to think of that. Was Oliver innocent, or not? He even went to such great lengths to stop

Julian was convinced. "I'll talk to Vans."
