Chapter 1344 Visit A Prisoner (1/2)

Ellen's trial date was drawing near. So in the end, Estelle couldn't bear to see her suffer. Having grown up together, she felt obliged to find the best lawyer for Ellen.

In the court, there was no evidence submitted that had been obtained from the crime scene where Hanley had died. In addition, the situation was quite complicated at that time, which led to his inappropriate behavior in the first place. Finally, the lawyer filed a plea of self-defense for Ellen.

In the end, Ellen was sentenced to a term of six months in prison.

She had received a very light sentence.

After being in prison for less than a week, Ellen called Estelle and said that she wanted to see her and that she had something important to tell her.

After waiting behind the glass window in the visitor's room for a while, Estelle saw Ellen shuffle in on the opposite side of the window. Ellen was in a prison uniform and walked in with a pair of handcuffs on her hands. The correctional officer loosened her, and she rubbed her wrists briefly. She looked very haggard after only a week. She sat opposite Estelle expressionlessly, and they both reached for the phone at the same time.

Estelle's eyes couldn't help but glisten with tears. She picked up the phone and gasped, ”Sister.”

No matter how disappointed Estelle was in Ellen, Estelle had always protected her little sister since they were children. Estelle couldn't bear to see her suffer like this.

”Sister, long time no see,” Ellen said gently, her eyes filling with a barely concealed hostility.

Estelle looked at her with a distressed face, and spoke with a lump in her throat. ”Ellen, no matter what happens from now on, please tell me immediately, okay? I will try my best to protect you. You'd better behave while you serve your sentence in prison now. After all, it isn't that long. Then, you can get out.”

”Protect me?” Ellen taunted. ”If you really wanted to protect me, you wouldn't have put me in jail!” she scolded.
