Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 173

Gary was also a little surprised.

'Wasn't Jeanne fine a few days ago?'

A few days ago, he even saw how capable Jeannie was and had the urge to beat Monica to death. As Jeannie had a good relationship with Monica and Jeannie's mother passed away early, he also treated Jeannie as his daughter. Seeing Jeannie return and develop so well, he was mostly relieved.

Now that something suddenly happened...

Gary said, "Don't be anxious. I'll ask about the situation."

Monica nodded like a chick pecking on rice, looking at her dad with anticipation.

Gary called his friend in the prosecution hall.

Monica did not know what the other party had said to her dad. She felt that her dad's expression was especially grave as if something big had happened.

Could it be...

Could it be that Jeannie was going to be sentenced to death?’

At the thought of this, Monica was scared to death.

Fortunately, Gary had hung up the phone.

Monica went forward and grabbed her dad's arm. "Dad, how is it? Will Jeannie die?!"

Gary Glanced at Monica. "According to Harken's law, one will only pay with one's life if they took someone's life.

Those who commit other crimes won't be sentenced to death. Can you have some common sense?"

Monica was stunned.

She was anxious and flustered.

She was just afraid that something would happen to Jeannie.

"However, it is indeed very serious." Gary did not hide the truth from Monica, "Jeannie signed a dual contract and took a personal gain of 30 million dollars. Now, the evidence is conclusive, and she's currently not allowed to be released on bail pending trial. She's being detained in the detention center. According to Harken's law, pocketing such a huge sum of money without permission will result in a sentence of at least 10 years."

"What?!" Monica widened her eyes.

"Not only that..." Gary seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Monica looked straight at her dad, extremely nervous.

"Did Jeannie offend anyone during this time?" Gary asked Monica.

Monica frowned.

How would she know?!

Jeannie was so busy during this period that she did not even have time to hang with her.

Whenever Monica called Jeannie, Jeannie hung up after saying a few words.

Monica could not think of who Jeannie had offended during this time.

Gary said with concern, "They said that Jeannie's case will be judged the fastest and that it was already assigned to someone. Other than the people in charge of the specific circumstances of the case, no one else is clear about it. They also said that the internal political angle on her case has increased to a very high level. Usually, this only occurs when a higher-up specially gave the instruction."

"Jeannie has just returned. Who can she offend?’" Monica was clueless.

"A famous person attracts criticism. It could be anyone," Gary said straightforwardly.

"Then what do we do now? What about Jeannie?" Monica looked at her dad anxiously.

"I originally wanted to use my connections to meet Jeannie. At the very least, I could find out the reason for the matter from Jeannie. However, the other party directly rejected me, saying that no one within their ranks dared to interfere in her case. If they crossed the line, not only will they be fired, but they'll also be held accountable. I can't make things difficult for the other party."

"How could this be?!" Monica was on the verge of breaking down.

"I'll think of a way to find out about Jeannie's situation. That said, from the other party's tone, she should've committed an economic crime. Hence, even if I find out anything, it might not be of much help to her. The only way is to make up for the 30 million dollars that she obtained for her private interests, together with the interest, and try to make up for her mistakes as much as possible. Plead with the judge and reduce her sentence as much as possible."

"Jeannie wouldn't commit a crime—definitely not." Monica could not accept this.

"I also believe that Jeannie wouldn't do such a thing, but this is the current situation." Gary was helpless, "I'll go prepare the funds for Jeannie now to ensure that she can successfully repay the 30 million dollars that she gained. I'll also arrange for the people handling her case so that she won't suffer any grievances there."

Monica still wanted to say something.

Gary said, "Right now, this is the only way to help Jeannie."

Monica bit her lip.

She knew that even if she cried herself to death, this was all her dad could do.

Nevertheless, she could not accept the fact that Jeannie would go to jail.

No.
