I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 678: The Living Matter More (4)

"Brother Nathan, why can’t you believe me? This matter really has nothing to do with Kris Cooper, Aunt Zhou fell on her own!"

"Fine, even if it’s as you say, what about Uncle Vera?" Nathan Leafcastle turned her around to face the tombstone, "If it wasn’t for Walter Wave’s bankruptcy, would he have committed suicide? If it wasn’t for Christoper Cooper, would he have gone bankrupt?"

Walter Wave was at a loss for words. After a while, she bit her lip and turned around.

"Even if that’s the case, it’s still unrelated to Kris Cooper; he hasn’t done anything wrong."

"Kris Cooper, Kris Cooper, Kris Cooper... your heart is only with Kris Cooper. Now you’ve completely lost your head over love and can’t even distinguish between good and evil!" Nathan Leafcastle roared, "You can forgive, but I can’t! Kris Cooper killed my mother, and it’s related to me! No matter what you think, anyway... this time, I absolutely won’t let him get away, no one can stop me, including you! Since you like staying at the Cooper Family so much, then go back and tell Christoper Cooper and Bailey Hansen for me that I’ve hired the best lawyer and gathered sufficient evidence. This time, I definitely want him in prison for a lifetime, to pay for what he’s done!"

After saying this, he turned around and walked away.

"Brother Nathan!"

Vera Wave stood on the path, yelling urgently, but Nathan Leafcastle walked away without turning back.

Watching his figure disappear into the woods, Vera Wave turned around powerlessly, and looked at her father’s photo on the tombstone.

"Dad, I’m sorry... I can only set this matter aside for now. Right now, I need to save Kris Cooper first!"

She stroked the photo of her father with her finger, turned around, followed the mountain path downhill, and immediately pulled out her phone to dial Sophia Thompson’s number.

"Sophia, it’s Vera Wave. I need to discuss something important with you in person."

...

...

Half an hour later.

Vera Wave was already seated in Sophia Thompson’s law firm chair, having briefly explained the matter at the cemetery to Sophia Thompson.

"I know him, Brother Nathan is always very meticulous. If he’s saying this, he must be quite sure."

Sophia Thompson nodded with a frown.

In the afternoon, she had already been to the scene together with Lucille Matthias, and looked all over the floors, yet still hadn’t found any evidence favorable to Kris Cooper.

"Sophia, in your view... is there really no other way?"

Sophia Thompson thought for a moment, "If that’s the case, as a last resort, we can only settle for the second best option."

"What do you mean?"

"Not plead innocent, let Kris proactively plead guilty, and then debate towards accidental injury, trying our best to reduce his sentence."

This is also the last resort.

The current situation is very unfavorable to Kris Cooper; if the other side firmly insists Kris committed intentional murder and we keep insisting on innocence, the case can only keep dragging on.

If it drags on like this, Kris Cooper still won’t be free, and the longer it goes on, the more unfavorable it will be for him.

Without a verdict, he isn’t free, and it’s as if he’s already in prison.

"So... how many years would he be sentenced to?"

"More than three years but less than seven, and then have Andre provide a medical proof; I’ll help him apply for serving his sentence outside prison, at most just for a year or so."

Vera Wave clenched her fingers tightly, "But he didn’t murder anyone."

Sophia Thompson shrugged, "Of course, this is just a last resort we’ll use only when necessary. When it comes to the actual court hearing, I’ll see what the other side’s trump card is before deciding."

Goodnight, princesses.
