Chapter 1040 In Public
The judge paused.
Everyone stared in the judge's direction. They wanted to know what she would say next.
Because Rose became the defendant, she was the one to sit in the defendant's position.
Norman and Linda were also there and sat not far from Rachel and Charli.
Their expressions didn't look good, especially Linda's. Her eyes were full of worry.
What should I do…
She hadn't been by her mother's side for the past few days and felt terrible…
She had an unspeakable pain in her heart because she couldn't see her mother.
But after seeing her mother today, she felt even worse.
Her mother had become haggard in the two days they had not met. Linda had wanted to visit her
mother, but she couldn't make it in even after trying her best. She really felt helpless!

Her dad didn't have any other way.
She looked at her mother sitting in the defendant's seat, and her heart shivered uncontrollably. She
turned to look at her father. "What will… the result of today's sentencing be?"
She had been worried and anxious for the past few days. Her father had been busy, and she didn't
have the nerve to disturb him.
Norman sighed lightly. "We'll find out shortly."
He was also anxious. He had done all he could and had no way to say anything now that it had come
to this stage. They could only wait for the final results.
He just hoped that the truth wouldn't be revealed.
Just as everyone was feeling nervous and expectant, the judge spoke.
"The court has gone through a series of inspections regarding the evidence provided by Ms. Meek. The
public welfare projects are authentic, and her voice has been verified in the provided recording. But no
matter the reason, it's still homicide. After thorough consideration, the defendant is sentenced to three
years imprisonment."
Linda instantly breathed a sigh of relief!
She had expected ten years, but it suddenly became three years. She was relieved.
Norman also breathed a sigh of relief, and his gaze instantly landed on Rose. Rose was also looking at
Norman and Linda.
She smiled and nodded at them, looking remarkably resilient. Norman and Linda both felt upset.
And Rachel was furious!
She couldn't help but say, "How can this be the result? Just three years?! In any case, it was an
intentional homicide. And they didn't donate the money. How could it be authenticated? What on earth
is going on?!"

"D*mn it! Who is it?! How did they do it so flawlessly?! Was the judge bribed?!"
"No. He doesn't have the nerve to accept bribes." Charli's expression was firm, and her voice definite.
"Then how on earth was it done?!" Rachel's voice was furious. She felt nauseous when she looked at
Rose's sincere gaze. After that, Rachel couldn't help but ridicule Rose. "She's still pretending! She
must be overjoyed! It's supposed to be the death penalty, but it was reduced to three years. What dumb
luck does she have?!"
Rachel was about to blow up at that moment.
Behind her, Sheena immediately said, "Calm down, Rach. We're in public!"
Rachel took a deep breath and restrained her violent temper. But she had her limits. Even if she was
speaking, her voice wasn't too loud. Furthermore, Charli was beside her and could restrain her. She
wouldn't have responded if other people had noticed her.
