Chapter 444 Things Have Really Come Full Circle (1/2)

It was only at that time that Joy was the most vulnerable and least cautious.

Even if she knew that it was going to get her in hell of a lot of trouble of entirely another sort if she told the truth, she would have had no choice but to agree in order to save Shirley.

As for why Jean didn't threaten her after Shirley was sentenced, especially when it would get her to agree so much faster?

The answer was simply because it was wrong to do that.

After Shirley was sentenced, Joy would agree to do anything to save her even if it meant doing whatever Jean asked.

However, Joy was not a total idiot and was sure to make every possible effort and try to hide whatever evidence had come to light of their deal. And if Jean did not fulfill her promise, she would have exposed that deal to the media, which would have gotten both Jean and Zed into quite a lot of trouble.

Therefore, it was clearly advisable for Jean to stay cautious and not make any hasty decisions.

Anything was possible before Shirley had been sentenced.

”Why do you doubt the cause of your mother's death?” Joy thought for a long time. Finally she tried to calm herself down and asked Jean.

”I doubt it thanks to you. Otherwise I would have never come to know that there was even a possibility of an alternate cause. So, Joy, don't ever try to fool me because you are nothing now!” Jean coldly ordered.

'Sure enough!'

Joy closed her eyes for a few seconds and suddenly started remembering about how she had totally lost control of herself and almost strangled Jean in the hospital. It was clearly at that time that Joy had muttered something about Jean's mother in her fury and Jean had caught on to it.

And only then did Joy realize that Jean has been suspecting her for a long time now and was willing to find out the truth no matter where it took her.

'If I don't tell her everything today, Shirley is going to be sentenced without doubt and I am bound to lead a poor life alone.

If I had known that this was going to happen one day, I would have completely ignored Shirley's advice and actually strangled Jean.

If it weren't for Jean, Shirley would not be in prison right now!'
