Upon revealing the truth, Isabelle Richardson let down all her defenses, had a slightly raised chin, and laughed lightly, “She wasn’t gonna live for much longer anyway, I was just helping her to break free sooner. Every time I brought up the topic of divorce with Michael, he would use this old woman as an excuse, saying that she couldn’t bear the shock… Hah, if she can’t bear the shock than she’d better be dead sooner, isn’t it good to leave this world earlier?”

“She was in the hospital and every day was costing thousands, all of that was Michael’s money. Molly spending Michael’s money is one thing, but then there’s the added burden of her illness. I’d heard that the late stages of cancer are very painful. Is it not a good thing that I helped her to escape that?”

As Isabelle Richardson stated each word, the atmosphere grew ice-cold.

Molly Walker, in the other room, could hear everything clearly.

So, Isabelle Richardson had killed grandmother because Michael Gallagher refused to divorce.

What a savior she was, hastening death to attain an early salvation!

Thinking of her last meeting with her grandmother, Molly’s heart ached, her nose stung with unshed tears.

Grandmother did not have much time left, but even if she had a day, she wished to be by her side, watching her pass away naturally, not having her life prematurely ended by Isabelle Richardson.

Nicholas Thompson looked at her, biting his lip, trying to hide his sympathy.

“Mr. Wilson, I know I was wrong, but what has happened has happened… Do you think we could win this case?” Isabelle said meekly, looking at Adam Wilson, seeking reassurance from him.

Adam Wilson set down his wine glass and simply stared at her for a moment without uttering a word.

Upon noticing his silence, Isabelle’s heart fluttered with anxiety.

“Mr. Wilson, I trusted you and told you the truth. You won’t break your promise, right?” Thinking of this, Isabelle stood up abruptly her hands clasped nervously. “I know, Mr. Wilson, you are very capable.

Michael told me that you are the lawyer he found for me, and I trusted you unconditionally telling you everything. If you don’t help me…”

Isabelle was fraught with tension. Observing Adam Wilson’s expressionless face, her heart beat wildly in her chest.

If it hadn’t been for Adam Wilson urging her to tell the truth, she wouldn’t have told anyone about it.

If Adam Wilson refused to defend her, then…

The thought rendered Isabelle in a state of shock.

“What are you panicking about?” Adam Wilson glanced at her, his tone indifferent. “I won’t forget what Michael Gallagher ordered me to do.”

Isabelle tried to laugh it off, “I was just worried. After all, I told you everything… since Michael asked you to defend me, it should be fine. I was just over-worrying.”

“Indeed, I did promise Michael Gallagher. However, you might have misunderstood something.” Adam Wilson stood up, walked to his computer desk, took out a bunch of documents, and passed them to her, “Actually, even if you hadn’t told me, I would have found out. Miss. Richardson, this isn’t the only illicit thing you’ve done!”

Isabelle accepted the documents and the more she read the more her face fell.

The documents detailed all the bad things she had done and all the evidence against her.

Adam Wilson was reputed to be very clever. But she hadn’t imagined he was this clever. Looking at the evidence and charges against her, Isabelle’s heart began to quake with fear.

“Mr. Wilson… what do you mean by this?

If this information were ever exposed in court, it wouldn’t just mean her death, but also utter destruction.

Adam Wilson sighed, “You should turn yourself in.”

Isabelle froze, anxious to the point of babbling, “Turn myself in? Mr. Wilson, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten Michael’s orders? You are my defense lawyer, how could you possibly persuade me to turn myself in?”

“If I turn myself in now, all that’s waiting for me is the heaviest sentence. Mr. Wilson, you can’t do this, you just said you would defend me. That’s why I told you the truth. How could you trick me?! If I knew you would persuade me to turn myself in, I wouldn’t have confessed everything to you!”

Isabelle was getting anxious, her large eyes filled with panic.

She never thought Adam Wilson would suggest she turn herself in.

Molly Walker, who was in the room, was astonished when she heard Adam Wilson’s words.

She hadn’t expected that Adam Wilson would ask Isabelle to turn herself in.

Hearing Isabelle’s words, Adam Wilson’s furrowed his heavy brows. He felt this woman was truly beyond redemption.

“You’ve seen the files. You’ve committed so many crimes, not only killing someone’s grandmother but also hiring an assassin. All of this has desecrated humanity. I would fear divine retribution if I defended someone like you.”

Isabelle Richardson glanced at the documents in her hand and threw them on the ground with a cold laugh. “I don’t know where you got all these, but aside from what happened to Mrs. Walker, I didn’t do anything else. Mr. Wilson, you drank all my wine, don’t say you just want to persuade me to turn myself in?”

“This wine is worth tens of thousands. If you can’t help me, give me back my wine.”

Adam Wilson was just about to take another sip from his thermos when he heard this, his hand frozen mid-air with the cup.

Isabelle Richardson turned up the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were void of any mirth.

This was all aged wine from more than ten years ago, priceless and hard to come by.

Adam Wilson drank her wine but didn’t help her; there was no such good deal!

“Mr. Wilson, I trusted you and told you all the truth, but I did not expect that you would investigate me privately. Did I, Isabelle Richardson, offend you in any way? Why did you go through the trouble of investigating me?”

Upon hearing her demand for the return of her wine, Adam Wilson’s patience was suddenly exhausted, and he said coldly, “I don’t have the interest to investigate you, these documents were provided by Michael Gallagher!”

“Boom!” His words hit her like a thunderbolt, making Isabelle Richardson shiver all over.

“Nonsense! Michael would never do such a thing. He promised to take care of me and protect me for the rest of my life. How could he possibly collect evidence to hurt me! Impossible! It must be your nonsense!”

She simply refused to accept that these documents were dug up by Michael Gallagher.

Why would Michael need to investigate these things, for what purpose?!

This revelation hit her like a heavy hammer, breaking her heart into pieces.

Her heart ached in waves, tears flying, and she accused fiercely: “Adam Wilson, don’t think that you can slander Michael just because he’s dead. Anyone in this world can hurt me, except for him!”

Because she bears the shadow of Noah Jenkins.

Michael promised Noah that he would take care of her!

In these years, no matter what she did, Michael was infinitely tolerant, all because of his guilt for Noah Jenkins.

Michael owed Noah a life, and therefore had to cover up everything for her. This was his responsibility and his destiny!

Seeing her crying like a mess, Adam Wilson quickly took a few steps back.

He had dealt with so many cases over the years and had seen all sorts of people. But this was the first time he encountered a woman with such thick skin and fondness for moral kidnapping.

“He wouldn’t hurt you, but he wouldn’t indulge your criminal activities either.” Adam Wilson rolled his eyes internally. “Michael Gallagher stated that if you are willing to admit that you were the one who did these things, it would mean that there is still hope for you. Take these documents and turn yourself in. If you insist on not repenting, then, I’m sorry, my next step is to be Molly Walker’s legal consultant.”

“Molly’s legal consultant?” Isabelle Richardson quickly turned her gaze to him, her eyes were severely inflamed, “You’re going to be her lawyer?”

“I’d love to.” Adam Wilson sighed deeply, “But her brother is a lawyer, she doesn’t need me.”

“Isabelle Richardson, don’t you understand yet? What Michael Gallagher means is that he hopes you will turn yourself in. Your current state is nothing but a desperate struggle. If you turn yourself in, your sentence might be lighter.”

“Lighter…” Isabelle Richardson burst into a great laugh, and tears came out while laughing, “Mr. Wilson, I have killed someone. Even the lightest sentence would be a death penalty. Firing squad, how painful that would be! How could Michael do this to me!”

Unable to contain herself, Isabelle Richardson, sat on the chair and started crying loudly.

She never thought that what awaited her at Adam Wilson’s was not a defense for her, but a persuasion to turn herself in.

Michael…so you knew everything!

“I also want to turn myself in…but there’s no way back…” Isabelle Richardson stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, her lips turned white, and she murmured softly, “That woman won’t let me turn myself in.”

“Exactly!”

The door was banged open, and Molly Walker walked out from the room.

Her stride was graceful, and her eyes were as cold as ice.

“You have committed all kinds of evil deeds. It’s too late to turn yourself in now.”
