Chapter 573


    Chapter 573 Manughter


    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


    umon. He continued sorting through the case files without even ncing 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 ncing 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    Unexpectedly, he coldly said, "Your information is outdated.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 surveince footage, the suspectmitted


    manughter due to negligence, not excessive self-defense. She has vited criminalw. Even if you


    offer mountains of gold, you won''t be able to take her away."


    ''Manughter... 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 manughter 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 nced 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."


    ‘Thank you!" Shirley deeply bowed to the old warden. Apanied by the staff, she proceeded to the


    cell where Nancy was held.


    It was a six-person cell, with women of different ages sleeping on amon bunk bed. They ate,


    drank, and used the toilet in that room, making the environment cramped and unpleasant.


    Nancy sat alone in a corner, her hair disheveled, wearing a numb expression.

    ''Hey, didn''t you hear me? Come here and give me a foot massage!" a robust woman shouted at her.


    She was the leader of the cell, a powerful figure on the outside with several homicides under her belt.


    She had recently been apprehended.


    The other female inmates in the cell were afraid of her and looked up to her, but Nancy, being new,


    didn''t give her any face. As a result, she had been targeted repeatedly.


    The robust woman, not receiving any respect from Nancy, got up and approached her. She grabbed


    Nancy''s hair and viciously said, ’Still pretending to be deaf? I fucking told you toe here and


    massage my feet!"


    ''Don''t touch me!" Nancy wasn''t one to be trifled with either. She pped the robust woman back.


    ’Damn it, looking to die!" The robust woman lost her temper and called out to the other female inmates,


    "Beat her hard, beat her to death!”


    The other women rushed toward Nancy, delivering punches and kicks. Nancy couldn''t match their


    numbers, and her eyes and mouth were injured.


    "What are you doing? Mutiny!" The prison guard heard themotion and quickly rushed over. Only


    then did the women disperse.


    ''How are you, Number 29?" the guard asked Nancy.


    ’I''m fine," Nancy wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth with her sleeve and replied coldly.


    ‘Tidy up a bit. Someone is here to visit."


    ’Someone... someone is here to visit?" Nancy''s numb eyes flickered with a trace of brightness, but it


    quickly dimmed.


    She knew she had fallen into a trap this time, and no one could save her.


    After a brief tidying up, Nancy followed the guard to the visitation room.


    ‘Shirley, you''re back?" As soon as she saw Shirley, Nancy ran excitedly toward the iron gate.


    ''Nancy, I''mte. You''ve suffered!" Shirley rushed toward the iron gate, choking up as she looked at


    Nancy.


    Separated by the iron gate, they could only see each other through a narrow window.


    ‘What happened to your eyes? And why are your mouth and corners of your lips injured?’ Shirley


    keenly noticed Nancy''s injuries and eximed anxiously, "Someone, help! My friend is hurt. Where''s


    the doctor? Get the doctor here!"


    ''Hush, Shirley, don''t worry. I''m fine. Getting bruised here is normal. We finally have a chance to meet.


    Let''s talk for a while!" Nancy pressed her hands against the handcuffs, her slender fingers gripping the


    iron bars. She spoke urgently.


    She knew that the visitation time was only thirty minutes, and if the doctor came to examine her, she


    wouldn''t have a chance to speak with Shirley.


    ‘Nancy, tell me, what happened exactly? How did things escte to this point?" Shirley hurriedly asked


    Nancy, racing against time. She needed to know the sequence of events to find a breakthrough and get


    Nancy out.


    ‘This... it''s no one else''s fault but mine. I couldn''t control my temper. The other party threatened me,


    and I acted impulsively. That ce was under construction, and his head hit a nail..." Nancy wiped


    away her tears and said destely, "The nail pierced his iput. Unless something unexpected


    happened, he won''t survive. And now, I''m undoubtedly a murderer."


    ‘Don''t worry, it wasn''t intentional. The circumstances shouldn''t be too severe. I have the bestwyer,


    and they will find a way to save you. I''m sure of it," Shirley reassured her. She wasn''t an expert inw,


    but she knew she would do whatever it took to save Nancy. This ce was simply unfit for human


    habitation.


    '' Nancy, don’t me yourself. After all, it was you who saved me and my brother''s lives. That''s why I


    did everything I did, and I have no regrets. Even if I could turn back time, I would still do the same,"


    Shirley said firmly.


    ''Nancy, please, don''t say any more. I don''t care. I won''t let anything happen to you. Even if I have to


    blow up this detention center, I will get you out..."


    The two women, separated by the iron gate, cried their hearts out. The scene was heartbreaking and


    touched anyone who witnessed it.


    ’Cough cough, Number 29, tidy up. You can be released without charges." The prison guard suddenly


    knocked on the iron gate and emotionlessly informed Nancy.


    ‘W-What? Am I hearing correctly? I can leave?" Nancy’s eyes still held tears, unable to believe what


    she was hearing.


    Because she had just received news that the person she identally pushed had been dered dead


    due to ineffective rescue. Logically... even if she didn''t receive a sentence of five years, she should


    have been imprisoned for at least three years. How could she suddenly be released without charges?
