Leander read further with a heavy heart.
How terrible is it for that girl's dying declaration was ignored and her name redacted everywhere? She's become persona non grata in the case although she was supposed to play an important role.
He's not someone who sides with those who opposes his family. He should be glad to read that the girl was considered to be a plant of the school board during the rest of the case. The plaintiffs claimed that the orphan girl was coached by the school board to speak lies to save their skin. They said that the girl had perjured herself by stating falsehoods.
It hurt. His heart hurt for that little girl's efforts to be dismissed like nothing. For some reason, his heart sided with that girl.
The plaintiffs won millions in settlement. The license for the school was cancelled and orphanage too lost its permit. The school board didn't have enough money to pay for them and they had to sell the land to pay the settlement.
