Chapter 490 May I Ask You A Favor (1/2)

Jean's thoughts were interrupted. She looked at Zed with surprise in her eyes and asked,”Am I that stupid in your eyes?”

”No, I don't mean that. I just thought it was nearly impossible to save Shirley from her death wish. But, You did it. Jean, you truly are amazing!”

Zed complimented her. He was happy inside that he had successfully changed the subject.

”I had almost given up on her. I had never imagined that she would determine herself to die. In my mind, she loves to take advantage of others and use them in all possible ways. But today, for some reason, I really didn't feel good seeing her in such a state. She must have felt she had nothing left to live for. Or else, she wouldn't have tried to commit suicide. It's just that...”

Jean sighed and did not finish her sentence.

”Just what?” Zed asked.

”Just that no matter what, she carried all the hopes of Joy in her life. So in this way, she has to live on with nothing to live for. Zed, may I ask you a favor?”

Jean looked at Zed and suddenly asked after explaining.

”Sure.” Zed replied with a nod.

”Can we somehow put off the examination process so that Joy could dress nicely and see Shirley for the last time before she serves her sentence?” Jean pleaded with her eyes fixed on Zed.

”I already told Ian about this.” Zed replied slowly, and his tone was solemn.

Seeing Zed's expression, Jean asked,”What's wrong, Zed? What's going on?”

”Joy?turned herself in at this morning, but Ian is facing a big problem,” Zed told her. He looked back at Jean and sighed.

”Big problem? What problem is it, Zed? What do you mean by that?” Jean stared blankly and questioned him.

”Your mother's case is more than 20 years old now. All the witnesses are lost and there's not enough evidence. On top of that, no one actually saw Joy poisoning your mother. Even though the case has been filed in the court, it would be tough for Joy to receive a death penalty,” he explained

and sighed again.
