Chapter 274 Mother and Daughter Hurt Each Other (2) (1/2)

Sheila pushed Gloria away with a guilty conscience, ”Yeah, I found a lawyer for you, Lawyer Jack.”

”Lawyer Jack, nice to meet you!” Gloria grabbed the lawyer's hand and shook it excitedly, as if she had seen a life-saving straw. ”Lawyer Jack, is there any hope of my appeal? I don't want to die. You must save me!”

Obviously, Gloria had a strong desire to survive. Looking at the excited woman, the Lawyer Jack had mixed feelings. Before he came to the jail, Sheila requested him to persuade Gloria to withdraw the appeal. Her own daughter was trying to deprive of her opportunity to live. It was really cruel.

Even though she was a heinous person, Lawyer Jack couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

”Do you want me to tell you the truth?”

A brief pause appeared on her face. Normally, this kind of contest was not going to be a good one.

”The chances are very small, and there is almost no hope.” What he said was the truth as well as Sheila's expectation. Her performance in the first round of the trial was so awful that she couldn't escape from the death sentence. What's more, the court trial was open. People said that they were greatly pleased, and she deserved it. No one sympathized with her.

The case itself and social influence both needed to be considered, and none of these were beneficial to her.

Upon hearing this, Gloria's face immediately turned pale.

Sheila took the opportunity to hold her and said, ”Mom, we can withdraw the appeal. There is no hope.”

”No!” Gloria pushed away Sheila by reflex, her face showing a frantic determination. ”I must file an appeal. I will not withdraw it even if I will be sentenced to death! They can withdraw the charges and prolonged the time of death. I can also live a longer time. I don't want to die in such a coward! ”

Sheila tipped the lawyer with a wink, and he understood immediately. Then he took the file bag and went out, leaving the space for the mother and daughter.

”Mom, don't be so excited.” Sheila helped her sit down.

”Sheila, I must lodge an appeal. You know that I must appeal against the sentence! Though Lawyer Jack said that the chance is very small, there is still some hope. Even if the result remains the original sentence, I can live for more days. Do you understand? ” At the moment, Gloria's life was threatened. All she wanted was to stay alive.

”But mom, I have no money now.” Sheila said dejectedly.

Stunned, Gloria asked, ”what do you mean?”
