�Miss Ren, you�re just back. Why don�t you rest for a night first before you go there?�

When Margaret noticed that Renee was about to go out, she felt very sorry for Renee.

�How can I rest comfortably when Lei is suffering in the cold prison?�

�Yes� you�re right.�

Margaret heaved a long sigh. �Miss Lei fell out with her family just to help you. So, you�re the only one who can help her now.�

�Don�t worry. It�s just a small affair. I own the most awesome legal team in Beach City.�

While smiling, she consoled Margaret. After that, she went straight to the prison where Leia was without any delay even though night had fallen.

Renee went to the prison where Leia was and went straight to the point in front of the person in charge.

�I want to bail Leia out. How much is it? Just name the price.�

The person in charge was an old leader of nearly fifty years old. He had plenty of experience in handling cases, so he had had contact with all kinds of people. Of course, it was not the first time that he had met someone rich and imposing like Renee.

He buried his head to handle the cases without even glancing at Renee. He said calmly, �This suspect�s case is a bit special, so she doesn�t have the right to be bailed to wait for the trial. You may go back now.�

�Did she murder someone or set a place on fire? Why isn�t she qualified for bail? If my information is right, she did it as a form of self-defense. She resisted the person who caused trouble. Of course, it should be considered proper self-defense. Why is it regarded as a criminal offense?�

Agitated, Renee argued with the old leader.

�Self-defense?�

Finally, the old leader looked up and shot her a sharp glare. He then suddenly said, �Your information is outdated. The victim died at nine this morning since they failed to save him. Based on the surveillance video, the suspect carelessly killed a person. It wasn�t in self-defense, and she committed manslaughter. You won�t be able to take her away, no matter how ridiculous a sum you offer.�

�Man� Manslaughter?�

Renee was struck dumb on the spot. She never expected that it was so serious.

If someone was killed and if it was labeled a criminal case, there was no way Leia would be granted bail.

�Yeah, she�ll be locked up for three to five years for manslaughter unless she manages to gain the forgiveness of the victim�s family. What a pity!�

The old leader shook his head and sighed with feelings. �I think people the likes of you should stop wasting your effort. Their only son has been killed. Of course, she will never be forgiven.�

�People the likes of you?�

Renee immediately asked, �So, did anyone else come to bail my friend out?�

�Yes, he�s also rich and more relentless than you. He tried to intimidate and bribe me. So, I drove him away.�

The old leader recalled that person because he had a deep impression of that person. �He�s indeed a loyal and passionate man.�

Renee could not be bothered to dwell on that. She inquired, �Can I see my friend?� JrNovels.com
