The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 264

Chapter 264 

Shaun was a little flustered and exasperated. “Hurry up and tell me the truth. What exactly did the two of you do behind my back?” 

“What did I do?” Ingrid was still being stubborn! 

Shaun was furious. “You’re still unwilling to tell the truth at this point! Roxy is in this state all because of you. If Roxy did anything wrong, it was also you who instigated it. I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life!” 

Ingrid gasped when she heard those words. Slie had no time to argue with Shaun! 

Roxanne was now in the police station! Her daughter had already confessed to her that Margaret’s death was caused by her! 

If this matter was brought up again, then Roxanne would not be just sent behind bars. 

At the thought of this, Ingrid was anxious and flustered! In just one night, seven or eight blisters appeared on her mouth! 

Seeing that Ingrid was silent, Shaun did not know what to do. “Say something. Why aren’t you saying anything now?” 

Ingrid sighed and weakly fell onto the sofa! 

The development of the matter had already exceeded her expectations and control! 

She just wanted to spend some money and secretly get rid of Joanna! However, she never expected that her two idiotic cousins would fail to kill Joanna! 

Now, Roxanne was involved again! This matter was getting bigger and bigger. It was very likely that the mother and daughter would spend the rest of their lives in jail! 

Ingrid gasped as tears streamed down her face! At this moment, she finally regretted her actions. She finally had a taste of harming others and herself! 

“If nothing works, then…” 

Shaun cocked his eyebrows. “So that’s it?” 

Ingrid wanted to say something but stopped herself. She swallowed the rest of her words! 

She had not told Shaun that she had hired someone to kill Joanna! 

If Shaun knew that she was the one who hired someone to kill Joanna, he would probably hate her even more! 

Now, the matter had reached an irreparable state! Instead of the two of them going to jail, she might as well take all the blame! 

Her daughter was still young and had a long life ahead of her. She could not spend the rest of her life in prison! 

“Say something! Aren’t you usually quite talkative? I won’t tell you what I want you to say now!” 

Ingrid paused for a few seconds and suddenly looked at Shaun. Her tone was rare and gentle. “It’s all my fault!” 

“Honey, I’ve let you down! I’ve let this family down too!” 

Shaun was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Ingrid in surprise! 

They had been married for more than 20 years, and Ingrid had always been very domineering. She was the kind of person who would not let others off easily and would make herself sound reasonable even if she wasn’t. 

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to admit his mistake! 

“What did you say?” 

“I’m sorry. Forgive me! You’re a very good man. I’ve implicated you in this life!” For the first time, Ingrid felt guilty! 

Shaun was even more confused after hearing this! 

Ingrid didn’t say anything else. She stood up and silently walked to the room upstairs! 

She had to prepare for the worst! 

She had to find a way to meet Kensley and bribe him to push all the blame to her! 

Soon, the results of the first round of interrogation were out! 

The lawyer who had originally defended Roxanne was also threatened by Bruce. He did not dare to defend Roxanne anymore! 

Therefore, the verdict was out very quickly! 

Roxanne was convicted of murder and officially prosecuted by the police! 

“Suspect Roxanne Haynes, suspected of attempted murder! According to the law of Greyport, you will be sentenced to 12 years…” 

Roxanne had already completely collapsed after the court’s verdict! 

“No, no… I don’t want to go to jail, I don’t want to go to jail! 

“I didn’t. It really wasn’t me! 

“I didn’t hire anyone to kill her. I really didn’t hire anyone to kill her!” 

“You can appeal!” 

“I want to appeal. I didn’t hire anyone…” Roxanne lost control of his emotions and started shouting in court! 

She would rather die than spend 12 years in prison! 

After Ingrid and Shaun heard the verdict, they stood rooted to the ground and looked at their daughter pitifully! 

12 years in prison! 

When her daughter was released from prison, her life would be completely ruined! 

“Dad, Mom, save me. I don’t want to go to jail. I’d rather die than go to jail…” 

When Ingrid heard this, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife! She felt a lump in her throat and tears streamed down her face! 

Shaun could not help but cry as well! 

How did their family end up in such a state? 

Ingrid wiped her tears and silently stood up from the audience! 

“Your Honor! I object to this case!” 

When the judge heard this, he and everyone else looked at Ingrid. 

Ingrid took a deep breath and sobbed, “My daughter is not a suspect in this case! 

“I’m the suspect. I did all of this!” 

When the judges and jurors heard this, they were all shocked! 

However, words were useless. There were too many parents who were willing to take the blame for their children! 

“I’m telling the truth. I did all of this! It has nothing to do with my daughter!” 

The judge paused for a few seconds and said seriously, “As parents, we can understand your feelings! But the law is the law…” 

“Your Honor, I have evidencel” Ingrid decided to go all out! 

In court, she told him about how she, Wallace, and Oscar had hired someone to kill Joanna! 

When everyone heard this, they looked at Ingrid doubtfully! 

“Mom, mom, boohoo.” Roxanne sobbed uncontrollably! 

Ingrid and her daughter looked at each other and couldn’t help but cry! 

She had been competitive all her life and had done many bad things. However, she had given all her maternal love to her three children. 

Roxanne cried until she was out of breath! 

She did not want to go to jail. She was still young! Her mother loved her. She knew that her mother wanted to take the blame for her! 

“Please sentence me to jail! I did all these things. My daughter is innocent!” 

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded! 

The audience was discussing animatedly. 

“Oh my god, Ingrid really did this! Since ancient times, most stepmothers have been very vicious!” 

“Alas, do you think she said that deliberately to take the blame for her daughter?” 

“That’s hard to say, but I think she said it so realistically that it doesn’t seem fake!” 

“I knew it. Miss Roxanne has always been so innocent. How could she do such a thing?” 

“You can’t judge a book by its cover!” 

“Alas, the relationship between wealthy families is really messy and heartless! The two sisters are also in such a mess…” 

When Shaun heard this, he was petrified on the spot! 

He never thought that Ingrid would be so bold and vicious as to hire someone to commit murder! 

Moreover, the person she wanted to kill was his daughter! Although he had never doted on Joanna since he was young, Joanna was still her biological daughter! 

“Ingrid, you’re telling the truth?” Shaun was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He pointed at Ingrid’s nose and asked.
