Events of Criminal Case
Murder à la Mode
After arresting Sébastien Lefebvre's killer, Hugo told Carrie and the player that the woman he was divorcing was Judge Lebrun and that he had lost the divorce papers that he was supposed to fill out and deliver to her that day. After finding the papers and consulting with High Commissioner Delacroix, Hugo and the player gave the divorce papers to Judge Lebrun. She was pleasantly surprised that Hugo had gotten the papers together in time and told him that the divorce did not mean that they could not be friends. She then told Hugo that she would see him in court.
Beastly Behavior
After arresting Jackson Peacock's killer, Enzo and the player went with Émile to meet his date under the online username "LawGirl21" at Oh La Vache café. To their shock, they found out that LawGirl21 was, in fact, Judge Lebrun, Hugo's ex-wife. With the revelation, the two then ended their relationships out of respect for Hugo. After Émile reported to Hugo about this, Hugo was saddened at the fact that Clémentine had moved on from him so soon.
Slay it with Flowers
After arresting Willem Nieuwoudt's killer, Judge Lebrun informed the Parisian Police Squad that Macaron has been released from prison on account of technicality, and he'll walk free on the streets of Paris.
