Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 458

Joel did not stay silent and only said, "Mia is a girl. She needs her mother more."

Nora watched as the two of them argued. She was still digesting the news she had just received.

She didn't expect Mia to be treated this way. Not to mention Tanya, even she couldn't accept it. If such a thing happened to Cherry...

Not to mention inserting a drug, she would immediately shoot Hillary into meat paste with a gun!

While she was also feeling angry, these two people were going back and forth. They were both going to shoulder the lawsuit. Nora could only abandon all her senses.

Now, Tanya and Joel were angered by Mia's matter. The two of them had no rationality to speak of, so they did not notice that there was a problem with Tanya's story. She interrupted the two of them. "Erm, don't fight over it. That medicine is not fatal."

When she said this, Tanya and Joel's voices paused.

The lawyer sighed. "Yes, this thing is poison, but it won't kill her. However, the coroner's conclusion is that Hillary's body was originally weak. She died because she was injected with this thing!"

Tanya smiled bitterly. "Of course, I knew it wouldn't kill her... Although I lost my rationality back then, I knew that Mia still needed me! I couldn't let a scumbag ruin my life! That was why I researched online for medicines that could cause pain but would not kill... I didn't expect her to die."

No matter how angry Tanya was, she would never leave Mia alone again.

However, she could not swallow her anger. Therefore, she chose to compromise.

She had punished Hillary in a safe way.

She never expected that the medicine, that only worked on the nerves and did not harm the human body, would actually take Hillary's life!

When the lawyer heard this, he asked, "When you searched on the Internet, what were the keywords?"

Tanya replied, "Painful but not fatal."

The lawyer heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good! We can use this for a counterattack! It can prove that you didn't intend to commit murder! It was accidental murder! In addition to the fact that you have a child... I think the judge will show mercy!"

Joel hurriedly asked, "How benevolent can the judge be?"

The lawyer looked at Joel. "Mr. Smith, if you were the one who had done it, then it would have been intentional murder. Therefore, only Ms. Tanya would be able to use this counterattack. And because it wasn't intentional, and because Hillary's actions were too hateful, the judge will pity Ms. Tanya. I'm confident that Ms. Tanya will only be sentenced to three years at most!"

When Tanya heard this, she looked at Joel. "Wait for me. I'll see you in three years."

Joel pursed his lips and suddenly said, "I'll give you a grand wedding in three years."

Tanya's eyes turned red. "Forget it. If you marry a woman who has been in prison, you will be laughed at."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at. I just feel very useless." Joel clenched his fists. "Tanya, I'm sorry."

It was the end of visiting hours. Nora and Joel stood up and left with their lawyers.

As soon as they left the room, Joel looked at the lawyer. "If I had attempted murder on purpose to avenge my

daughter, how long would I be sentenced to?"

The lawyer was stunned, but when he saw that Joel was serious, he calculated in his heart and said, "10 years."

Joel smiled. "Okay, that's the plan."

The lawyer was stunned. "Mr. Smith, it's 10 years’ It'll only be three years for Ms. Tanya!"

Joel lowered his eyes. "Do as I say."

He would rather be in prison for 10 years than letting Tanya suffer for another three years.

The lawyer instantly became bitter and vengeful. He simply looked at Nora. "Miss Smith, please persuade Mr.

Smith!"

Nora was deep in thought and did not hear him at all. She only reacted when the lawyer tugged at her sleeve. "What?"

The lawyer could only repeat Joel's decision.

However, Joel, who was beside her, gradually sensed Nora's abnormality. He frowned and suddenly asked, "Nora, do you find something odd?"

Nora nodded. "I've been thinking about it. Could Hillary really die if injected with 5 milliliters of Benzoplatin? According to what I know, Benzoplatin only affects the nerves and makes people feel pain, but it's harmless to the body."

Joel did not know medicine, so he did not suspect anything when he heard about this medicine.

However, after Nora said that, he suddenly frowned. "You mean..."

Nora shook her head. "I'm not sure either, but I still think we should go and see the corpse."

Joel nodded immediately.
