To put it crudely, it was not as if Susan was innocent in the first place.
The discussion between the Shane and the Garcia family went swimmingly.
Consequently, they skipped the lengthy interrogation process for Susan's case. Susan was merely held in a
maximum-security prison as she awaited her final trial in two days.
At the same time, Silas had also arranged for Warren's detention in jail.
Warren's sentence would be far lighter than that of Susan's. He did not have a hand in Yulia's murder, nor was he
the direct culprit in poisoning Harrison. All he did was plant his ideas in Susan's head.
He would merely be tried for instigation, which came with a jail term not exceeding three years.
Nonetheless, Natalie could care less about his sentencing. Frankly, she had no direct grudges against him, and
three years in jail was, in her opinion, a satisfactory punishment for Warren.

interrogation room. She was being escorted to a maximum-security prison to await trial.
Shane nodded. “Okay, I'll wait for you here.”
Susan was restrained and guarded by two police officers; she could hardly harm Natalie in her state.
Natalie smiled at her husband before approaching Susan, who was being ushered into a police car by the officers.
She shouted hastily, “Susan!”
Susan whipped around instantly at the sound of Natalie's voice. Her gaze seemed to drip venom as she spat, “It's
you.” Natalie stopped about two meters away from her and smiled. “It's me.”
For some reason, Natalie's smile seemed to trigger Susan, who tried to lunge at the former to scratch her face off.
She had barely shifted her body when the police officers held her back.
One of them rapped her with a baton to warn her to stay calm.
At that, Susan gritted her teeth against the pain, and she could only glare helplessly at Natalie, willing her gaze to
burn holes through
She shrieked next, “It's all your fault! If you didn't bring the police to the hospital, they'd never catch me!”
That b*tch Natalie ruined everything! If she didn't bring the police over, no one would see me choking Harrison, and
I wouldn't end up in handcuffs. Natalie destroyed my life!
Natalie continued smiling as she replied, “You're right. I brought them over, but it wasn't my idea; it was Harrison's.
He asked me to bring the police to the hospital at two.”
“That's impossible!” Susan shot back instinctively.
Tucking her hair behind her ear, Natalie said, “Why is it impossible? Don't forget that Harrison was the one who
called you yesterday and invited you to his ward. Besides, you called Warren two days ago and exposed your affair
to Harrison. Just think about it. Why didn't Harrison confront you about it immediately? Why wait until yesterday to

It was evident that Harrison had set a trap for Susan's arrest.
At that moment, Susan instantly understood what had happened and screeched like a banshee, “Harrison Smith,
you tricked me!”
Harrison found out about her relationship with Warren two days ago. In hindsight, she should have noticed how odd
it was that Harrison did not immediately interrogate her about her betrayal.
He did not mention a peep about it yesterday either and merely summoned her for a visit today.
All of this caused Susan to let down her guard during her visit. She never imagined that it was all a trap set by
Harrison, and she had walked in obediently like a fool.
Susan deeply regretted her oversight. Why didn't I think twice after his phone call yesterday? Why didn't I question
his reasons for interrogating me about the affair in person instead of yesterday?
She finally knew that he had planned to provoke her all along and trigger her murderous intent. All that was left to
do was await Natalie's arrival with the police officers, providing the best eyewitnesses to her attempted murder.
