Chapter 56
The lawyer handed Shannon his phone
It was a video call with the most advanced communication equipment. Even through the phone screen, she could clearly see the situation on the bed.
were
Donna Yancey was lying motionless on the bed in a blue striped hospital gown. Her hair was white, and her eyes were closed. Oxygen tubes wer inserted, and the sound of her breathing could be heard clearly, slow and weak.
Seeing her face clearly, Shannon’s entire body tensed up.
This person was not her biological mother.
There were many questions swirling in her heart.
F F F
She thought, “Who am I Why did I become her daughter?
The lawyer frowned when he saw that Shannon did not take the phone but was very agitated. “Miss Yancey, aren’t you going to say something to your mother?”
The lawyer’s reminder brought her back to her senses. She tried to calm down and took the phone with trembling hands.
The lawyer scrutinized her carefully. “Your mother’s condition is very serious. If she doesn’t have a kidney transplant, dialysis, and high–priced imported medicine, she could die at any moment and stop breathing. It might happen in an hour, half a day, or just tonight, tomorrow… Fortunately, under Miss Helen’s care, she can undergo a kidney transplant in an hour, With Fraley Hospital’s full treatment, she will definitely recover. She’s still very young, not yet fonty. I’m sure she’ll be healthy for the rest of her life. The surgery fees, including the cost of her later recovery, are about 300 thousand dollars. But don’t worry, Miss Helen has already paid for it. She has also found a nanny for your mother and help her recover later.
The lawyer spoke slowly, making sure she listened to every word he said and understood all the points he wanted to highlight.
The surgery only started an hour later.
The trial should be over in an hour.
“Miss Yancey!” Seeing that Shannon was staring at the phone screen without saying a word, the lawyer raised his voice. “Aren’t you going to say something to your mother? Look at her eyes imoving. She’s conscious. She can hear you”
In the video call, Donna tried her best to open her eyelids. Her lips opened and closed, and the sound she made was amplified by the loudspeaker so that she could hear it. “Shannon, save… save me….
Shannon closed her eyes tightly. Her long eyelashes were wet. She choked and tidied her throat and eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she was much calmer.
She pressed the phone to her ear. “Mom… don’t worry. You’ll be fine. You’ll get better… At this point, she hung up,
When it was time for the trial, Lea was playing with her phone. When she heard the judge say to bring the suspect up, she sat up straight and looked up. She saw Shannon and Helen being brought to their seats one after another.
Shannon was wearing a blue prisoner uniform. Her head was lowered, and her long hair was tied into a ponytail. Her sideburns covered most of her face. She was thin, haggard, and lifeless, like a criminal who couldn’t see the light of day.
Seeing her like this, Lea frowned. She had a bad feeling
After she’d sent Shannon the DNA test, Shannon hadn’t replied to any of her messages. Lea knew this was a sensitive period, but she still wanted Shannon to make her own judgment. She was so smart,
Now, Lea was a little nervous.
On the contrary, Helen was completely different from her.
She was wearing a simple white dress and had her hair tied into a ponytail. She was clean, bright, obedient, and pure. She was the typical image of a pure and kind girl.
Anyone who saw her would think that she was beautiful. She made people want to protect her, but they could not associate her with a murderer.

a lot of effort. On such an occasion. Helen could not wear the prisoner’s clothes and appear as a prisoner.
Helen also had acting skills.
Lea thought, “No wonder she had been doing so well in the entertainment industry in my previous life.
The trial began. Helen’s lawyer went straight to the point and pointed out that the person who pushed Lily down the school building and killed her was Shannon.
The other lawyers added.
They listed the grievances between Lily and Shannon over the past three years. The photos, videos, and statements of their classmates and teachers showed that Shannon had a deep hatred for Shannon.
They were the best team of lawyers in Vaporleon City. One of them was a lawyer from the Berry Group.
Their statement was rigorous, logical, and had no flaws.
While the lawyer was making his statement, Matilda, Belen, as well as the leader of the legal team, including Shannon’s own lawyer, had been secretly scrutinizing Shannon.
She lowered her head and did not say a word. She did not dare to look at anyone directly. She looked completely like a murderer.
Helen’s lawyer finished his statement and submitted all the evidence. After the judge examined it, he looked at Shannon. Her head was still lowered. and she was in a daze. She did not dare to raise her head.
“Shannon, do you have anything to say?” the judge reminded her.
She still hadn’t spoken on such a big case. She hadn’t even made eye contact. Her lawyer hadn’t spoken either.
Matilda’s eyes turned and scared straight at her.
If Shannon dared to say anything harmful to Helen, her mother would immediately die in the hospital.
Helen also stared at her nervously, afraid that she would say something unfavorable to her.
The Berry family’s legal team was also secretly scrutinizing her. If Shannon did not resist, they would have succeeded easily.
After that, Matilda would give them a generous reward. In the future, in Vaporleon City, with the support of the Berry and Frall families, their future would be limitless
If they lost, their careers would end here.
The jury also looked at Shannon, hoping that she could defend herself
She was still so young. She was going to take the SAT in half a month. They learned that her results were not bad and her future was so bright. They felt that she would not kill her classmate just because of a grudge.
Lea secretly clenched her fists. At this moment, she was very nervous.
Shannon was her benefactor in her previous life. The two of them were in the same boat. She really wanted to save her and give her a chance to
start over.
At the same time, she was furious.
Donna was not Shannon’s biological mother at all. Even if she was her mother, she did not deserve Shannon risking her own life to save her.
Lea felt that Donna was not worthy
Although up until now, Donna had not done anything to hurt Shannon excessively like Matilda, as long as there was a chance, in front of great benefits, she would be more cruel and cold–blooded than Maulda.
Shannon should have stood up and fought back. She should have revealed that Matilda had taken her mother’s life and threatened her.
If this matter had been announced and blown up, those people might not have dared to kill Donna
Shannon could even look for Lea. As long as she asked, Lea would help her. With her medical skills and the medical resources she currently had. she could help her.
However, Shanno didn’t ask for help.
These people were depriving her of her freedom, and her life, destroying her character and innocence, making her live like a bedbug in prison for the rest of her life as a murderer.
However, Shannon did not even struggle.
Lea could only feel anger surging in her heart.
She was infuriated.
