âItâs okay if you donât want to talk now. When youâre ready to talk, just tell me. I have plenty of time to listen,â Mick said.
Nancy pursed her lips. After the Schultz familyâs situation was resolved and Clarissa was imprisoned, she would confess everything to him and beg for his forgiveness.
Even if⦠he didnât want to forgive her at that time, it was what she deserved!
But just thinking about it, a piercing pain spread in her heart and lingered for a long time!
A few days later, the news reported that Francis was hospitalized due to worrying about his daughterâs situation. However, there was another saying that Francis was attacked. When he was hospitalized, his cheeks were swollen and obviously beaten. It was said that he even lost a few teeth. It was unclear who he had offended.
Of course, the latter saying was just a rumor circulating online, and there were no photos or evidence to support it.
And Clarissaâs trial was getting closer and closer.
Nancy felt more and more nervous as the trial approached.
Was she nervous about whether Clarissa would receive a fair trial, or⦠was she nervous about confessing everything to Mick after Clarissaâs case was over?
Both Clarissa and herself were about to be tried.
On the day of the trial, the other party did not show up. Francis unexpectedly did not attend, and Mick accompanied Nancy to the court.
When Clarissa was brought out by the bailiff, Nancy almost couldnât recognize her.
Her face was haggard, her dry hair was tied up with a simple rubber band like straw, and she was no longer wearing designer clothes, but only the detention centerâs uniform.
Who would have thought that Clarissa, who was once so glamorous, would end up like this?
In court, Clarissa naturally denied everything and claimed that it was Nancy who intentionally jumped out and hit her car while she was driving, and that she had no intention of committing murder.
However, the lawyer that Mick hired was the best criminal defense team in Emerald City, with an unbeatable record.
Naturally, they refuted Clarissaâs claims one by one, making all of her defenses seem weak and ineffective.
The final result was as expected.
Clarissa was sentenced to 20 years in prison, which meant that her best years would be spent behind bars. By the time she was released, the world outside would be a different place.
As the police took Clarissa away, she glared at Nancy with resentment and shouted, âNancy, donât get too cocky. Do you think youâve won? Youâre just a dog who relies on others. In the future, youâll be even more miserable than me. When I get out of prison, Iâll still be the Schultz familyâs princess. Iâll make sure to see what kind of person youâve become!â
Her words were like the most vicious curse.
Nancy frowned, but before she could say anything, Mick coldly looked at Clarissa and said, âAfter 20 years, when youâre released, the Schultz family may no longer exist.â
