Chapter 468 Too Late!
Tanya grabbed his hand. “This isn’t your fault. It’s my fault. I didn’t say anything and hid everything… I blamed myself for believing Jill’s words back then and going overseas. When I found out I was pregnant, I forced myself to give birth, but I didn’t have the ability to protect the child…”
As she spoke, her voice was choked with tears. “That’s why I can’t let my daughter live under her shadow forever. I want my daughter to know that people who’ve done bad things to her will pay the price!”
Large tears rolled down her cheeks again.
However, Joel seemed determined. He suddenly stood up. “Tanya, you don’t have to hide it for my sake. I know you love me, but there’s really no need for you to be so silly… Besides, you couldn’t have bought that medicine by yourself!”
Tanya bit her lip.
Yes, ordinary people could not buy that drug, but what about the future mistress of the Smiths?
She had used Joel’s name to buy that medicine!
She cried and said, “I’ve already admitted my crime! Mia can’t live without her father! Joel, if you still have any feelings for me, don’t be a jerk at this time!”
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.”
