Chapter 124
"You want to talk to me about the law?" Natalie's voice suddenly rose, and she glared at Sophia and said, "Then let me tell you, the law is made for human interactions. The law is the bottom line of morality, and morality is also a part of human interactions. The law is to maintain the existence of human interaction. Even if the law doesn't cover human interactions, it is still needed to fulfill basic human rights. Even the law will forgive a woman who has been treated cruelly by her husband."
She suddenly approached Sophia and lowered her voice, "Do you have a child? If someone killed your child in front of you, tell me, what would you do?"
Sophia was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time.
Just as the woman was in a daze, the policemen seized the opportunity to take her away.
Natalie turned to look at the judge and said, "Your Honor, I think even the law has to follow moral principles. You all have wives and children. If someone treats your wife and children like that, what would you do? Even if we live by the rules, we're still not robots. Humans are humans because we have emotions. I think Yannah did what anyone would do. Her crime isn't worth a death sentence!"
When Natalie spoke, countless eyes were focused on her, but among the gazes, two of them were the strongest.
One was Vincent's. Originally, he couldn't understand why Tobias had fallen for this woman.
Before, he'd thought that Natalie was the most ordinary person. She was the kind of girl who could not be found once she was thrown on the street.
At that moment, he suddenly understood why Tobias liked her.
That girl had her own distinctive characteristics.
The other gaze came from Tobias. He looked at Natalie with a faint smile.
Soon after, the court made a judgement. Yannah was deemed innocent and would be released immediately.
Of course, it was impossible to obtain such a judgment with just Natalie's words, or with the pressure from the public.
The main reason was because of Tobias.
Of course, Natalie did not know all of that.
After hearing the verdict, Yannah was so excited that she came to Natalie and knelt down directly in front of her.
"Miss Natalie, thank you for saving me. Thank you." Even Yannah did not expect that she would be acquitted and deemed not guilty.
Natalie helped Yannah up and said, "If you really want to thank me, then live a good life from now
II on.
Yannah nodded desperately and answered, "I will, I will."
After Natalie and Yannah parted ways, Natalie, Tobias, and Vincent got into Benjamin's car, which was waiting for them outside.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Hoffman." Natalie thanked Vincent very seriously.
She knew that such a trial couldn't possibly have achieved such a result without Vincent's hard work.
Vincent's eyes fell on Tobias, and he said. "Miss Godfrey, the one whom you should thank the most is Tobias."
Natalie's breath came to a halt.
Of course, she knew that.
After a while, she turned to Tobias. "Tobias, thank you."
Different from her words to Vincent, Natalie's voice was obviously much lower when she thanked Tobias. Her voice sounded so soft that it couldn't be heard clearly.
"You should thank yourself too, Natalie. You also contributed a lot to this matter." Tobias replied as he looked at Natalie.
A red flush appeared in Natalie's cheeks, and she smiled with some embarrassment.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Vincent broke the silence first. "Tobias, that man's parents really didn't give up. It seemed that they are still not happy even after we gave them a sum of money. That woman is probably their daughter who came to make trouble on purpose."
In order to guide the public's opinion, Tobias had specifically asked someone to find Yannah's parents-in-law and give them a huge sum of money to promise to help speak some words in support of Yannah.
Their son was already dead, and they couldn't possibly revive him. What was more, their son was indeed in the wrong, and so the man's parents had agreed to do as they were paid to.
However, they didn't expect that his parents still weren't happy, even ordering their daughter to make a fuss at the court.
As soon as Vincent finished speaking, Natalie was shocked as she realized something.
Yannah's parents- in- law were bought over by Tobias?
Why didn't Tobias tell her? She even talked to Tobias that night but he didn't tell her anything either.
Natalie looked at Tobias in surprise.
Tobias didn't seem to notice her gaze. He changed the topic calmly. "Vincent, are you going to the airport now?"
Vincent nodded. "Yes."
He had a lot of work to do, and he had taken a lot of effort to help Tobias then. Thus, he had to rush back to the United States.
Tobias asked Benjamin to drive Vincent to the airport.
"There's no need to. You're busy with your work too, so I'll go by myself," Vincent told him.
Tobias said blandly, "You've done me such a big favor for me, so it's natural for me to send you off."
The airport was near the court so they arrived after a short while.
"Tobias, well meet again if we're fated to," Vincent said to him before he left.
Tobias nodded, "We will meet again for sure."
"Miss Godfrey, I hope that the next time we meet is at your wedding." Vincent looked to Natalie again.
His words were very meaningful.
A trace of bitterness flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.
The wedding of Tobias and her? She was afraid that such a day would never come.
After sending Vincent off, Natalie and Tobias went back to the car and Tobias ordered Benjamin to send her home first.
When they were getting in the car, Natalie finally couldn't help asking, "I didn't know Yannah's parents-in-law were bribed by you. Why didn't you tell me?" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"I forgot to tell you." Tobias's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"But I told you that night so you couldn't possibly have forgotten about it!" Natalie did not believe that Tobias had forgotten hence she retorted.
Natalie kept mentioning that Yannah's parents- inlaw were sensible people to Tobias last time as they were in support of Yannah, but Tobias didn't tell her that he bribed them at that time.
A dim light flashed in Tobias' eyes.
After a while, he looked straight into Natalie's eyes, and said with a low and magnetic voice, "Natalie, as you said, human nature is beautiful and glorious. I hope that you can always think that way. That's why I didn't want to let you see the bad side of human nature."
Natalie was stunned.
A moment later, Tobias looked away outside the window.
Natalie came to her senses bit by bit.
She remembered the night when she talked about that matter with Tobias happily. Presumably, Tobias didn't want to destroy her fantasies.
A lot of things came to her mind bit by bit.
It was not only the matter regarding Yannah's parents-in-law, the TV station's interview must have been because of Tobias too.
