Chapter 96 It’s Such a Brilliant Idea!
When Shirley heard this, her expression immediately changed. She asked urgently, “So it’s you… What
did you do to May?”
“You should ask your housekeeper what she did.”
Braden’s expression was still cold. Looking at the agitated Shirley, he said indifferently, “Your
housekeeper forced Amelie to have an abortion. Don’t you know that?”
He paused and said, “We were once a couple anyway Let’s take a step back. I won’t make things difficult
for her, and you won’t target Amelie!”
Braden felt that he had indulged Shirley.
Amelie’s child is the only bloodline of Charles. If someone else did what May did, the one would have
been turned into ashes by Braden!
“Impossible!”
Shirley shook her head and said resolutely, “I know May very well. She would not do such a thing!”
“As for me… Although I can’t wait to see Amelie in prison, I never thought of hurting her child. Even if
she was sentenced, the pregnant woman would not be immediately taken in. She would give birth to the
child and only be sentenced after the lactation period. During this period, there is no threat to the child.”
Shirley was a mother and could not be ruthless enough to 1

nds on the child.
He knew Shirley was not as cruel as she said. She was just stubborn and angry at him.
“I believe in you and your housekeeper, so this matter ends here.”
Braden once again expressed his attitude. “If you withdraw your lawsuit, your housekeeper will
regain her freedom.”
Shirley showed a disappointed expression and couldn’t help but look at Braden with a sneer. “Braden,
you are so generous. You make it sound like you are going to let us go!”
“Since you believe my housekeeper and I are innocent, why don’t you just let her go but use the
withdrawal of the lawsuit as a condition?”
“Can you not be so stubborn?”
Braden felt his patience was about to run out.
Why didn’t he realize that Shirley was that tough to deal with before? He had no way to deal with
her!
“I hate being threatened the most in my life, but you are threatening me for such a vicious woman. You
have really provoked me!”
Shirley clenched her fists, glared at Braden coldly, and said ruthlessly, “Let’s meet in court and see how
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe judge will judge!”
Shirley and Braden parted unhappily again.
After Shirley adjusted her emotions, she called Jim.
After listening to Shirley’s description, Jim said confidently, “Shirley, don’t worry Leave this to me. I
promise to find a way to make May innocent. But… I need to meet May to understand the details.”
Thus, half an hour later, Shirley and Jim met at the detention center where May was detained.
The prison guard brought them to the small room where May was imprisoned and said impatiently, “Hurry
up. Ten minutes.”
May was about to be sixty in her fifties. She was helplessly squatting in the corner, looking particularly
pitiful.
“May, how are you?”
Shirley came to the iron gate. Through the gap in the iron bars, she shouted with distress.

May suddenly raised her head and rushed over with a v said to Shirley, “Ms. Wilson, why are you here?
The env…ent here is too bad, and it’s not airy.
You should go back quickly!”
“May, don’t worry about me. Time is limited. Tell Mr. Buck and me what exactly happened in ten
minutes.”
“Well…”
May hesitated for a moment, but she finally told Shirley everything that had happened.
“So, do you really have an abortion medicine for Amelie to drink?”
Shirley didn’t want to believe May would do this, so she didn’t give up asking.
“The abortion medicine was really made by me. I hope you and Mr. Stewart can get married again. Then
the child cannot exist.”
May closed her eyes and put on a heroic posture. “As long as you are happy, let alone let me go to jail,
even if you want my life, I’m willing!”
“May, you are silly!”
Shirley frowned anxiously, but she couldn’t really scold May.
Jim pushed his glasses and said confidently, “It’s not so tragic. There is still room for victory. Leave it to
me. It’s not a problem.”
Jim’s words made Shirley heave a sigh of relief.
Other lawyers might be bragging about the lawsuit fee, but since Jim said it, he would definitely
win!
“When can we get May out at the earliest? Can we apply for bail now?”
Shirley looked at Jim anxiously.
“From the nature of the case, it is not possible. We cannot be anxious…”
Jim raised his eyebrows and said to Shirley, “Do you want Amelie’s sentence to be added for another
three to five years?”
“I’m not in the mood to deal with her now. I just want to save May as soon as possible!”
“Do as I say. Not only May will be safe, but Amelie will also have had her day!”
Jim snapped his fingers. Everything was under his control….
Shirley and Jim came out of the detention center.
Shirley impatiently asked Jim, “Jim, you just said
extend Amelie’s sentence. What exactly do I need to do?”
“It is actually very simple.”
a way to get May out of the crime and
Jim said, “If May didn’t lie, then May’s motive for harming Amelie won’t be valid. Thus, it isn’t a criminal
offense. Then, we can sue Amelie for deliberate slander.
If May isn’t in good health at this time and happens to cause mental damage because of Amelie’s
slander, then Amelie can also be punished as a criminal offense. The punishment of mental damage is
no lighter than physical damage.”
Shirley listened seriously and quickly asked, “So, as long as I can find a way to prove that May is not
lying or that Amelie is lying, we can win the lawsuit. Is that so?”
“Yes!”
Jim continued, “I suggest we find a way to prove that Amelie lied. Only then can we reverse the
accusation. Although she has the two police officers as witnesses, from a legal point of view, it is
subjective and carries less weight than evidence. Shirley, if you can get the evidence, we’ll
definitely win the lawsuit!”
“It’s easy. I know what to do.”
When Shirley heard this, she couldn’t help but praise Jim. “As expected of you, Jim. It’s such a brilliant
idea!”
Shirley was glad that when she divorced Braden, she only fought for the Blosso Law Office.
With the three lawyers to help her, no matter if it was in the administrative, civil, commercial, or criminal
field, Shirley seemed to be able to do whatever she wanted without obstruction!
The next day.
Early in the morning, Shirley arrived at the hospital where Amelie was.
At the ward entrance, there were still two police officers guarding her.
Amelie knew she was about to regain her freedom and was happily humming a song. Her voice was so
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmloud that even people in the corridor could hear it.
“Ms. Nelson, you seem to be in a good mood, don’t you?”
Shirley crossed her arms and leaned against the ward door, asking with a half–smile.
Amelie was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, making up. When she suddenly saw Shirley in the
mirror, her expression changed as if she had seen a ghost. She turned around and asked, “How… how
did you come in?”
“Ms. Nelson, why are you so afraid? We have such a good relationship. Isn’t it normal for me to visit
you?”
“Don’t be so hypocritical!”
Amelie appeared to be in a state of vigilance. She regarded Shirley as an enemy and said fiercely,
“We hold grudges against each other. Either you die, or I live. How can you be kind enough to visit
me?”
“It’s not that serious. You are Braden’s new lover, and I’m his ex–wife. According to the marriage
system in ancient times, we can still treat each other as sisters. It’ll hurt our feelings to fight all the
time!”
The corners of Shirley’s mouth curved up into a smile, and she said in a strange tone.
“Humph, feelings?”
Amelie saw that Shirley was so kind and guessed she must have come to ask her to withdraw the
lawsuit, so Amelie said proudly, “At this time, you play the sympathy card. Why didn’t you say that when
you sent me to prison two days ago?
Are you afraid that your vicious housekeeper is too old to stay in the detention center for a long time, so
you want to ask me to let you go?”
Shirley smiled, “No I just came to inform you I have found evidence to prove my housekeeper innocence.
Your crime is not only burglary but also deliberate slander The result of my housekeeper’s mental
assessment has come out The mental damage is at the third level If we sue you at the same time, you
will be in prison for five or eight years. Don’t think of coming out!
“W… what?”
Amelie’s face suddenly turned pale, and she stepped back. “You are deliberately scaring me, aren’t you?
You can’t have evidence to prove your housekeeper’s innocence. At that time, only the police were
present. They heard me being threatened by your housekeeper!”
“You have witnesses, and I have evidence. In the law field, evidence is much more important than
witnesses.”
Shirley said with confidence.
Amelie’s face turned even paler, and she swallowed. “What… what is it?”
