Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2848

Walter's eyes revealed a hint of innocence. Lisa had gone through a nightmare. No matter how many years had passed, there was no way the pain in her heart could be soothed.

Shandra knew that.

Yvette had faced clients with such intense emotions before. She attempted to comfort Lisa, saying, "Ms. Clayton, we understand how you feel..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Lisa launched into a barrage of verbal abuse. "What do you know? Do you even understand the agony of seeing your loved ones pass away? Or the pain of being cursed and mocked after losing a husband and child? Do you understand the sudden disasters that have befallen my life and how difficult these past few years have been for me? Can you understand that?”

Yvette stood there, stunned.

"My husband used to have a decent job. My family wasn’t wealthy, but we were comfortable. Now, look at the kind of life I’ve been living. That foreigner harmed my daughter. Not only did that heartless boss of my husband slander him, but he also made us pay a large sum of money. I'm currently living in a rundown apartment where the roof leaks when it rains. And yet, the landlord refuses to repair it. Every time it rains, I have to use a basin to catch the water. Have you ever experienced such days? If you haven't, don't tell me you understand my feelings!" Lisa's voice trembled with anger as her eyes turned red.

The people around them were all watching them.

Everyone in this small town knew who Lisa was because of the discussions on the internet, so no one came forward to help Yvette.

Yvette stood there, her face turning red from Lisa's barrage of words. Even though she was not the villain, it still managed to make her cheeks flush with embarrassment.

Although a lawyer's profession did not place them on a moral high ground to help people, and they were just acting according to the law, Lisa's accusations were completely justified.

Yvette felt like she was an unforgivable criminal at this moment.

However, she could not say anything.

As Shandra watched what happened, she had no choice but to say to Walter, "We have some questions to ask the person involved."

The words that remained unspoken were meant to ask him to leave.

Walter understood Shandra's way of doing things. Even though her client was in the wrong and she was being verbally attacked right now, she could still calmly attempt to communicate with the other party.

She needed to gather clues that would benefit her client.

Walter raised his hands, indicating that Lisa's emotions had nothing to do with him. The corners of his thin lips curved up slightly higher as he said, "As you wish, Ms. Cullen. I've finished talking to her."

Shandra glared at him. Even though he said they were finished, he remained seated, showing no intention of moving.

"Mr. Long, your presence here is against the rules," Shandra coldly reminded him.

Lisa, who had yet to calm down, interjected with a sarcastic remark, "You're defending that foreigner, and it's against the rules for you to interact with me. Perhaps you're intentionally planning to make mistakes in court and get that scum sentenced to even more years? If that's the case, I’m willing to cooperate with you. Otherwise, please just get your *ss out of here."

The death penalty was enforced in A City.

However, despite Lisa's hatred for what Matysh had done, his crime did not meet the criteria for the death penalty. Hence, no matter what, Matysh would only be sentenced to imprisonment.

The interpreter standing beside them reluctantly conveyed Lisa’s message verbatim to Ethan.

Ethan's face darkened. His gaze turned even more menacing. If this woman were in Russia, the Abaza family would surely have dealt with her.

If it were not for Shandra's prior warning to not act recklessly and to be mentally prepared for the involved party’s emotions to go wild, Ethan might have slapped her in the face.

As she stepped out of the milk tea shop, a person who stood at the entrance sneered and said, "Why bother saying so much? Just get lost already. Lawyers defending scumbags like that don't even deserve to be called lawyers. They're worse than animals."

The expression on Shandra’s face grew even more unpleasant. She had defended numerous people before, both victims and suspects.

With every skeptical inquiry, she forged an unbreakable resolve. She learned that her mood could not be swayed by such ignorant remarks.

However, with Walter present this time, Shandra felt herself losing composure. Even with her back turned to him, she could sense the playful gaze behind her, pricking at every inch of her spine.

Shandra could feel her back burning intensely. She took a deep breath, deciding to ignore it and leave.

However, what Lisa said earlier seemed to have flipped a switch in the milk tea shop. Everyone pointed at Shandra, hurling insults at her.

They said she should not be defending a criminal like this.

She was a citizen of A City, so she should be working for the benefit of them…

Those words echoed in Shandra's ears. She straightened her posture stubbornly and walked toward where the car was parked.

Yvette hurriedly walked to the side of the car and opened the door for Shandra. Even though she did not want to admit it, they were like a defeated army, retreating from the scene in a hurry.

Walter watched Shandra's determined figure from behind until she got into the car. She did not turn around or offer any explanation to the people in the milk tea shop.

"Pfft. Women like her shouldn't even be in A City." The milk tea shop owner could not help but scoff. He glanced at Walter once again, believing that Walter was a great lawyer that the A Citizens deserved.
