"If he's sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment, he could get an abatement from penalty." Ivan put his hands together against his chin, looking up at her. "However, if he's sentenced to death, he'll have no chance."
Mya was rendered wordless but understood what he meant.
She should be patient in this matter, as it would take time step by step.
Finnley propped his arm on her shoulders and said gratefully, "Mr. Marsh, thank you so much for helping us. We'll go home. Her mother hasn't calmed down yet."
"OK." Ivan nodded his agreement.
Finnley squeezed Mya to his side and took the elevator to go downstairs.
Mya's mind was still jumbled. She worried about her father, feeling collapsed. The sudden change in her life made her suffer.
In her heart, her father had always been a hero who was hard-working and professional at work and cared about the people.
"I want to use the ladies' room," Mya muttered in the elevator.
"OK. I'll wait for you."
The elevator arrived on the first floor, and doors slid open.
Mya headed for the ladies' room. Suddenly, a department manager stopped Finnley. "Hi, Mr. Russell."
"Hello." Finnley nodded at him in response.
The manager chitchatted with him. "I didn't expect you to get married so fast. Usually, you were not close to women."
Finnley knew what he wanted to talk about but had no mood to continue such a topic.
Seeing him look annoyed, the manager stopped asking him something personal.
Finnley waited for Mya.
After entering the ladies' room, Mya closed a cubicle. A few female employees also entered while chatting.
"Mya Saunders must be a liar. She married Mr. Russell as the mayor's daughter, but her father was arrested the next day."
"The marriage must have been planned. Otherwise, how could they get married so soon? Many youngsters nowadays are afraid of getting married."
"It's said the Russells reacted friendly. What else could they do? If they added insult to injury, their company's reputation would be ruined."
