Four Childhood Heroes For Her? Fine, I Cut Off The Four Who Betrayed Me Chapter 08

The five of then were brought into an interrogation room together.

It wasn’t long before investigators began questioning them.

Only then did Ethan learn that the French authorities had already gathered evidence regarding the hit-and-run they had pinned on me three months prior.

Furthermore, because Ethan had fraudulently claimed and melted down my gold locket,

criminal charges had been filed against him personally.

Combined, the charges carried a potential sentence of up to ten years.

Hearing the potential sentence, the other three panicked.

They desperately tried to explain in French that Ava had been the driver, not them.

They claimed they had merely been misled into believing Ava was unwell and needed urgent

medical attention, which was why they fled the scene with her.

The officers documented their statements, noting that final sentencing would depend on the

conclusion of the formal investigation.

Ava couldn’t understand French and had no idea the four men had thrown her under the bus to

save themselves.

She naively believed that with these four wealthy heirs by her side, she would walk free.

She even refused free legal assistance.

She placed total trust in them to handle the allegations regarding the stolen capstone project

and fellowship.

A week later, the court declared her guilty of hit-and-run, intellectual property theft, and

identity fraud. Sentenced to ten years in prison, she was ordered to pay three hundred

thousand euros in restitution and fines.

In contrast, the other four received sentences under three years, with options for immediate

bail

upon paying their respective fines.

Ava was stunned. She screamed that she was innocent and had been framed.

Her inability to speak the language was interpreted as contempt of court, adding further penalties to her sentence.

Ava was left behind in Iceland, facing a decade of imprisonment and a massive debt she could never repay in her lifetime.

Meanwhile, the four childhood friends, including Ethan, posted bail and returned to New York.

Outsiders recognized that they had shifted all blame onto Ava, treating her as a scapegoat just

as they had once abandoned me for her.

The four adopted the same strategy again. Taking advantage of Ava’s imprisonment abroad,

they launched public livestreams to smear her character.

They attributed all their past marginalization and mistreatment of me entirely to Ava’s manipulation, monetizing the controversy while garnering public sympathy.

Under their marketing campaign, countless netizens joined search efforts to locate me, with some even idealizing the romantic dynamic between me and my four childhood friends.

They claimed I was the luckiest woman alive to have four devoted men searching for me.

Only I, recovering from my injuries abroad after being rescued, felt nauseated watching their

livestreams.

I forwarded their videos to the man who had attempted to abduct me three months ago.

I had already investigated his identity and discovered a key connection between him and Ava.

There was a deeper reason why Ava had approached me and worked so tirelessly to sow discord between me and my childhood friends.

I was certain that after seeing their livestreams, he would deliver a grand gesture to all four of

them.
