Chapter 1101

“Ms. Tina Hampton, the lawyer, is waiting for you inside, Mrs. Ford. You can go on ahead. I‘ll be right here, on guard. If there‘s any problem, you can call for me.”

Stella nodded and walked inside.

The office was a suburban studio. Because it was very secluded, there was no worry about nosy eavesdroppers or getting followed.

In fact, you didn‘t even have any idea that oleanders were highly poisonous. In other words, you must insist, without a flinch, that you are ignorant of the fact that oleanders are harmful or toxic. This is the only way that we can minimize your sentence as much as possible. If

If we go by the original plan, there‘s simply no way we‘d win this case, and you‘d end up in prison, so why not change the strategy instead? They‘d never expect you to confess to the murder. Besides, if you insist on being ignorant about the poisonous nature of oleanders, they‘d have no way of
