When She Unveils Identities

Chapter 573 Manslaughter

Shirley arrived at the detention center where Nancy was being held and straightforwardly addressed the person in charge. “I want to bail out Nancy. How much does it cost? Name your price?

The person in charge was an experienced old warden nearing his fifties, having encountered all kinds of people throughout his career. Individuals like Shirley, who had both wealth and power, were not uncommon. He continued sorting through the case files without even glancing at Shirley, and replied indifferently, “This suspect has a special situation and does not qualify for bail. You can go back.”

‘But she either killed someone or set a fire. Why doesn’t she qualify for bail? If the information is correct, she acted in self-defense and retaliated against the troublemakers. That should be considered a justifiable defense. How did it turn into a criminal offense?’ Shirley argued passionately with the old warden.

‘Justifiable defense?” The old warden finally looked up, his sharp gaze briefly glancing at Shirley. Unexpectedly, he coldly said, “Your information is outdated. The victim received ineffective treatment and died this morning at nine o’clock. Based on the surveillance footage, the suspect committed manslaughter due to negligence, not excessive self-defense. She has violated criminal law. Even if you offer mountains of gold, you won’t be able to take her away.”

‘Manslaughter… due to negligence?” Shirley was dumbfounded on the spot. She hadn’t anticipated the situation to be this serious. If it involved murder and criminal charges, there was indeed no way for Nancy to be released on bail.

‘Yes, in the case of manslaughter due to negligence, unless the victim’s family forgives her, she won’t be able to leave for three to five years. It’s a pity!” The old warden shook his head and sighed, “In my opinion, all of you who came one after another are just wasting your efforts. The only person who would forgive her, Steven Beltran, has been murdered. Who else would forgive her?”

‘One after another?” Shirley quickly inquired, “Are you saying that there were others who came to bail out my friend?”

‘Of course. The other person is even wealthier than you and more troublesome to deal with. They tried to intimidate and bribe me, but I threw them out.’ The old warden reminisced, leaving a deep impression. “Quite the devoted lover, I must say.”

Shirley didn’t have time to think too much and asked the old warden, “Can I go and see my friend?”

The old warden glanced at the clock on the wall and raised an eyebrow. “In principle, it’s not allowed. However, seeing how desperate you are, I’ll make an exception. You’ll only have thirty minutes.”
