Chapter 228 Pleading Guilty


    Ever since Jade started using Charlotte, the n had begun.


    Madam Jenkins was devious and cunning. Although she would panic for a brief moment, she would


    also calm down quickly. It would not be easy to use her.


    But Charlotte was different.


    Based on the few interactions with Charlotte, it was clear that she was nowhere near as witty as


    Madam Jenkins. In fact, she could be somewhat reckless and impulsive. More importantly, based


    on Jade''s description, Charlotte still cared a lot about Richard.


    Clearly, Charlotte would be much easier to swaypared to Madam Jenkins.


    Julian instructed some people to turn off all the lights at the appropriate time. Then, the voice simr


    to Richard''s would be performed by a talented ventriloquist. This expert would hide among the


    audience, and, based on Julian''s instructions, speak in Richard''s voice to sway Charlotte!


    Thus, before everyone''s eyes, Charlotte used Madam Jenkins.


    Madam Jenkins had no room to escape!


    Facing Susan''s usations, Madam Jenkins red at Susan with hatred, "Who would''ve thought


    that I


    would lose to you, little b*tch!”


    She had basically admitted her crimes.


    Madam Jenkins could not ept her failure. She knew that she could try arguing, but it would no


    longer be meaningful. Jade''s betrayal, on top of Charlotte''s usation, gave her no hope of


    escaping.


    Any more arguments would only make her a joke.


    The judge just realized what had happened and asked, "Madam Jenkins, are you admitting that you


    are the one who murdered Richard? But based on Jade''s description, it seems like Charlotte was


    also involved?"


    "No, I did not." Charlotte panicked and she waved her arms desperately. "I didn''t harm my dad, I


    really didn’t."


    "Charlotte, calm down!" Madam Jenkins had regained herposure by this point. She pushed


    Charlotte back onto her seat and said coldly, "This has nothing t o do with Charlotte. I am the one


    who poisoned him! It was also me who told Jade to bring him to Susan’s room. I did everything. It is


    up to you to decide how I shall be punished. But, Richard deserved to die. I don''t regret my crime."


    Madam Jenkins spokepletely differently from how she grieved her dead husband’s death


    previously.


    There was a bloodthirsty indifference in herposure.


    Everyone was stunned.


    Luke was the most surprised.


    From Jade using Charlotte to Charlotte using Madam Jenkins, the whole process felt like a


    dream to Luke.


    What happened?


    He was very happy that his father''s death had nothing to do with Susan.


    But why... Why did it suddenly be his mother who killed his father?


    Besides, it was Charlotte who said the truth herself?


    Luke stared at Madam Jenkins''s unsentimental face and felt so distant from her.


    There were so many different voices bombarding his head.


    He waspletely dumbfounded.


    Madam Jenkins looked at Luke and a rare expression of guilt crossed her face as she gritted her


    teeth, "Luke, it is true that I killed your father. But you have to believe me, everything that I do is for


    you and Charlotte!”


    Luke kept quiet.


    He believed that Madam Jenkins did it for them.


    But, regardless of what Richard did, Luke could not see why Richard had to die.


    Besides, because of Richard''s death, Susan suffered so many false usations and nightmares.


    And, he always thought that Madam Jenkins did not sue Susan because he begged her so


    desperately.


    Because of that, he felt that he sacrificed a lot and used it to demand that Susan must forgive


    Charlotte.

    And yet?


    Susan was innocent since the beginning!


    Luke closed his eyes in agony.


    Why... Why is this the truth...


    "Luke,” Madam Jenkins sighed, wanting to speak again.


    The judge interrupted, "Madam Jenkins, since you have pleaded guilty, please repeat the whole


    process o f the crime."


    At this point, there was no reason for Madam Jenkins t o lie. She exined how she had long


    nned to kill Richard, how she told Jade to buy the poison, and how she poisoned Richard and


    then med it on Susan.


    As such, Madam Jenkins’s crime was confirmed.


    The judge announced that Madam Jenkins would be temporarily taken into custody and that she


    would be convicted a few dayster.


    Anyhow, murder was a serious crime. Even if it was not life imprisonment, it was certain that


    Madam Jenkins would have to spend the next few decades in prison.


    With Madam Jenkins’s age, once she entered prison, it would be almost impossible for her to get


    out again.


    The police came to arrest Madam Jenkins.


    "Wait!" Luke stopped them subconsciously.


    "Mr. Jenkins, please don’t make our jobs harder," one o f the policemen said coldly.


    Luke gritted his teeth.


    Regardless of the crime Madam Jenkinsmitted, she had been the best mother to her only son.


    It was incredibly difficult for him to watch Madam Jenkins get arrested.


    His father was already dead, and he could not bear losing his mother.


    Luke gritted his teeth and looked at Susan pleadingly," Susie, it was my mom''s fault for framing you,


    and I apologize for her. But can you please be generous and let her go?"


    Susan was taken aback by his words. Then, she said calmly, "Luke, you must have misunderstood


    something. Your mother''s biggest crime is not framing me, it was murder. Her crime of murdering


    your father has nothing to do with me. Who am I to let her go?”


    Luke''s expression turned gloomy immediately," Susan, will you just watch my mother die?"


    Luke''s logic was strange. Susan did not know how to answer him, so she simply stopped


    responding.


    Looking at Susan’s distant expression, Luke could not help but bite his lower lip in frustration.


    The police took the opportunity to arrest Madam Jenkins.


    Luke could only watch Madam Jenkins get arrested.


    Charlotte stared nkly. It only seemed to hit her after Madam Jenkins left and she burst into tears.


    “Luke, it was my fault. It was my fault that Mom got arrested," Charlotte just realized that she had


    been swayed by Julian''s n. After seeing Madam Jenkins get arrested, she broke down.


    If she did not fall for their trap and used her mother, how would her mother admit it so easily!


    It was her... It was her fault!


    Seeing Charlotte''s crack-up, Luke embraced her shoulders silently, his thin lips pressed together


    tightly.


    "Luke..." Mandy walked towards Luke and called him carefully.


    "F*ck off," Luke red at her coldly.


    If Mandy did not create all the drama she did, things would not have developed to this stage!
