Free Web NovelChapter 929: Chapter 956: First Trial Verdict (3)
"Do you think the old lady is lying?"
"Were you surprised when the victim suddenly woke up?"
"Did you ever think she would wake up?"
"Will you appeal again?"
"The first trial ruled that you should pay six hundred seventy thousand in compensation. Were you mentally prepared for this result?"
The microphone was swung wildly in front of her, and the reporter’s sharp questions were relentless. Mia Ginger felt her ears hurting and instinctively raised her hand to cover them.
"My client is emotionally unwell right now, please understand!"
"Of course, we will continue to appeal!"
"My daughter would never do such a thing!"
"My baby wouldn’t hit someone, and even if she did, she would admit it."
"Excuse us, excuse us, excuse us!"
The parents of Tong Tong and several friends and family who came from afar looked irritated, their emotions clearly at the breaking point. If they continued being questioned, they might just break down and explode on the spot.
On the other side ——
The old lady and her family were in a similar situation.
The atmosphere was bustling and lively, yet filled with cheer.
"The quality of college students these days is really worrying!"
"We didn’t want to take her to court because she looked like a young girl."
"My mom firmly believes it’s her."
"Luckily, my mom woke up, otherwise all the grievances we’ve suffered during this time would have been for nothing."
"That’s right, that’s right, reporter friends, you must properly report this outcome!"
"We reluctantly accept the six hundred seventy thousand. My mom is so old; who knows how many complications this accident might cause!"
"Justice lives in the hearts of people!"
"The court is a place for reasoning!"
"That’s right, that’s right, the judge wouldn’t just make random rulings!"
"..."
Mia Ginger raised her hand to rub her forehead, withdrawing her gaze, not wanting to look anymore. The noise of conversations rose again in her ears.
"Do you think it was really the girl who hit her?"
"The old lady’s family doesn’t seem like good people!"
"But I think the old lady looks honest; she shouldn’t lie!"
"Who knows, maybe it’s just for the money!"
"That’s right, that’s right, in this situation whoever gets caught is it!"
"So complicated, I don’t understand it at all."
"Let’s wait for what follows. Didn’t their lawyer say they will appeal again?"
"Sigh."
A group of student observers finished their discussions and gradually descended the steps.
Mia Ginger still stood on the highest step, watching as crowds of people left one after another. She tugged at her backpack strap, sighed, and decided not to go back to school for the time being, planning to return home.
"Mia Ginger." A female voice suddenly stopped her.
Windsor Myres walked over to her.
It was Friday, and many students from their class were present as observers. Mia Ginger had already seen Windsor Myres earlier.
"Do you still think it’s not Tong Tong?" Windsor Myres asked her in a calm voice.
"Her family is not short of money; if she hit someone, she wouldn’t refuse to admit it." Mia Ginger replied in the same calm tone.
"Who knows, maybe she was scared." Windsor Myres said as she walked, "You know her well enough. She’s timid and afraid of trouble. Initially, she didn’t admit it, and when things got big with someone backing her, of course, she would be even less likely to admit it. Everyone makes mistakes."
"Maybe." Mia Ginger smiled lightly.
"What’s that supposed to mean?" Windsor Myres asked unhappily, "Do you think I’m trying to smear her?"
"I trust my feelings, you trust yours. It’s not about smearing or not, just a difference in opinion."
