In other word, I don\u2019t want to continue cold war with Frances. That only benefits Hilda. So I am reconciled with Frances naturally.<\/p>\n<p>Till night, I tell Frances that Whitney Jordan has sent me a lawyer\u2019s letter. \u201cIn your opinion, what should I do? If she won the case, how long will I be sentenced?\u201d As far a place like jail, whoever would be afraid.<\/p>\n<p>Frances hugs me in his arms and lightly kisses my forehead. \u201cDon\u2019t worry, she won\u2019t succeed. I already arranged some people to handle this and hired the best lawyer for you today afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Frances promises, I still feel uneasy. Because of that, we make a long talk before finally I fall asleep.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Frances accompanies me to the court. It\u2019s my first time to stand in the dock so that I am very nervous. I keep my eye on the direction of Frances. However, every time I look at him, I can also see Hilda who sits by him. Because of that, I decide not to see there.<\/p>\n<p>Although Whitney Jordan doesn\u2019t have any exact evidence, her lawyer is really good so the situation is not good for me in the beginning. However, Frances hires a more excellent lawyer. He gets me off in a few words. Though I clearly know that I\u2019m guilty, I really don\u2019t want to be convicted now. In the end, the judge pronounces me not guilty because of insufficient evidence. But I know Whitney Jordan won\u2019t give up easily so that she definitely will apply for second trial. And it would be harder to win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI admit to killing your baby, but as for poisoning you mentioned just now, it\u2019s not me.\u201d She still insists and denies that she poisoned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I said, you can deny, see you in court.\u201d Frances drives over at this moment. I don\u2019t want to talk with her and go ahead directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t go, say clearly! I am not a liar, I will not admit the thing I didn\u2019t do!\u201d Whitney Jordan stops me and says seriously. All of a sudden, I am stunned. Didn\u2019t she put poison? How could that be true? The cake maker said it\u2019s she. Besides, except her, I really can&#8217;t think of anyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-453","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
