“This punishment is too light for Jessica!” Raya’s small face wrinkled, “You are regarded as a murderer by people, and you were put in prison for two years. Now she just needs to pay you a little money and it’s done. You rich ladies have more than two million dollars of pocket money in half a year, don’t you?”
Angela hung her head and made no sound, but clenched her fists tightly.
It was Jessica who framed her. However, it was James who broke her leg and sent her to prison. But now she’s ‘staying’ with him. She was still his girlfriend!
How ridiculous!
Raya didn’t notice her emotion, and complained, “Anyway, every time the result of the trial comes out, I feel very upset!”
“A few months ago, I took a case in which the client was a minor. The boy was twelve years old and killed his classmates! But he was still under age and couldn’t be sentenced to death. He just needed to stay in the juvenile detention center for a period of time, and then he could come out...”
Angela moved her lips. Her mouth was bitter, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She couldn’t say a word.
“Jessica did frame her. But breaking her legs and sending her to jail, it’s you who did these to her. With my understanding of women, Angela is in a bad mood. You...” Sean sighed, “Unlucky dog!”
James looked at Angela and his eyes flashed. He stretched out his hand and untied his collar button, but the depression in his heart never dissipated.
From entering the court to now, she never looked at him, let alone paid any attention to him.
“Thank you so much.” James said.
Sean pushed his glasses, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with emotions, “You finally said something nice! In fact, it’s not worth mentioning. Such a case is very easy for me!”
“I’ve told you all these things clearly, and all the evidences were prepared for you. If you can’t solve it, you’re really stupid.” James said.
“Think about how to soothe Angela!” Sean snorted and dragged Raya away. “We have something else to do. You can go back by yourselves.”
With that, he started the car and left.
James stepped up to Angela and reached his hand for her. But intentionally or unintentionally, she just reached out and grabbed her hair to avoid his touch.
“I want to be alone for a while. You can leave first.” Angela said with her back towards him.
James’s Adam’s apple rolled and his eyes were deep. “I’ll send you back to Bamboo Estate, and then I’ll go to the company.”
“You can go straight back to the company.” Angela looked back at him, her face full of indifference, “I want a little time alone.”
James frowned slightly, and finally chose to compromise, “... We have to leave here first.”
After a pause, he added, “There are too many reporters here.”
Angela moved her lips slightly and nodded.
When they were about to leave, Elva’s voice came from behind, “Angela, wait for me!”
“Let’s go.” Angela really didn’t want to face her mother at this time. Hearing her mother’s voice, she left faster than usual.
James followed her step by step.
“Angela, wait for me. I have something to tell you!” Elva’s voice sounded like she was breaking into tears.
Angela slowed down and hesitated for a while, but she didn’t stop at last and went straight to the door of the court.
There were a lot of reporters there, as soon as they saw her coming, they rushed up.
“Miss Chante, since you were framed, why did you say it two years later?”
