Chapter 468 Lori's Wonder:>89

• Whatever their reasoning, Davey felt sorry for them, so he and the boys cut them a share of the trust funds; he'd always said his father had left him that money as a legacy, something to pass-on and benefit future generations, but he also took it to mean it was for the good of all, not just for him to squander, so the two girls who'd schemed with their mother to get their hands on the funds discovered all they had ever had to do was be part of the family and the family would look after them. When I'd first seen them, I'd been prepared to believe everything Davey and Rosie had told me about them; now, with that look of spoiled malice no longer permanently marring their features, I was surprised to see just how pretty they actually were; perhaps Richard was wrong; perhaps now someone was going to finally take notice of them now that the spoiled brattiness was gone; they were Denham girls, after all.
• Bella, however, was a different kettle of fish entirely; Davey and I were inclined to leave her to sweat in whatever hideout she'd carved for herself; revenge was just not something that occurred to us, and we had everything anyway, while she had nothing; us beating-down on her just seemed like the worst kind of bullying, so we were happy to let her be. However, his trustees and the magistrate she'd conned weren't having any of that, so they all, singly and collectively, filed charges on multiple counts of fraud, attempted fraud, and perjury, and Bella was arrested and charged. She's currently on remand, awaiting trial, in a women's prison in the county of Surrey, a comfortably long way away from us. Rosie could care less; as she said at the time, "Bella's family were jail-sweepings, so she should feel right at home!"
