"You want to talk to me about the law?" Natalie's voice suddenly rose, and she glared at Sophia and said, "Then let me tell you, the law is made for human interactions. The law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is also a part of human interactions. The law is to maintain the existence of human interaction. Even if the law doesn't cover human interactions, it is still needed to fulfill basic human rights. Even the law will forgive a woman who has been treated cruelly by her husband."
She suddenly approached Sophia and lowered her voice, "Do you have a child? If someone killed your child in front of you, tell me, what would you do?"
Sophia was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Just as the woman was in a daze, the policemen seized the opportunity to take her away.
Natalie turned to look at the judge and said, "Your Honor, I think even the law has to follow moral principles. You all have wives and children. If someone treats your wife and children like that, what would you do? Even if we live by the rules, we're still not robots. Humans are humans because we have emotions. I think Yannah did what anyone would do. Her crime isn't worth a death sentence!"
When Natalie spoke, countless eyes were focused on her, but among the gazes, two of them were the strongest.
One was Vincent's. Originally, he couldn't understand why Tobias had fallen for this woman.
Before, he'd thought that Natalie was the most ordinary person. She was the kind of girl who could not be found once she was thrown on the street.
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Tobias liked her.
That girl had her own distinctive characteristics.
The other gaze came from Tobias. He looked at Natalie with a faint smile.
Soon after, the court made a judgement. Yannah was deemed innocent and would be released immediately.
Of course, it was impossible to obtain such a judgment with just Natalie's words, or with the pressure from the public.
The main reason was because of Tobias.
Of course, Natalie did not know all of that.
After hearing the verdict, Yannah was so excited that she came to Natalie and knelt down directly in front of her.
"Miss Natalie, thank you for saving me. Thank you." Even Yannah did not expect that she would be acquitted and deemed not guilty.
Natalie helped Yannah up and said, "If you really want to thank me, then live a good life from now
II on.
Yannah nodded desperately and answered, "I will, I will."
After Natalie and Yannah parted ways, Natalie, Tobias, and Vincent got into Benjamin's car, which was waiting for them outside.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Hoffman." Natalie thanked Vincent very seriously.
She knew that such a trial couldn't possibly have achieved such a result without Vincent's hard work.
Vincent's eyes fell on Tobias, and he said. "Miss Godfrey, the one whom you should thank the most is Tobias."
Natalie's breath came to a halt.
Of course, she knew that.
After a while, she turned to Tobias. "Tobias, thank you."
Different from her words to Vincent, Natalie's voice was obviously much lower when she thanked Tobias. Her voice sounded so soft that it couldn't be heard clearly.
"You should thank yourself too, Natalie. You also contributed a lot to this matter." Tobias replied as he looked at Natalie.
A red flush appeared in Natalie's cheeks, and she smiled with some embarrassment.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Vincent broke the silence first. "Tobias, that man's parents really didn't give up. It seemed that they are still not happy even after we gave them a sum of money. That woman is probably their daughter who came to make trouble on purpose."
