NovelStartChapter 947 Mya Was Insulted "If he's sentenced to a lifetime imprisonment, he could get an abatement from penalty." Ivan put his hands together against his chin, looking up at her. "However, if he's sentenced to death, he'll have no chance." Mya was rendered wordless but understood what he meant.
She should be patient in this matter, as it would take time step by step.
Finnley propped his arm on her shoulders and said gratefully, "Mr. Marsh, thank you so much for helping us. We'll go home. Her mother hasn't calmed down yet." "OK." Ivan nodded his agreement.
Finnley squeezed Mya to his side and took the elevator to go downstairs.
Mya's mind was still jumbled. She worried about her father, feeling collapsed. The sudden change in her life made her suffer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her heart, her father had always been a hero who was hard-working and professional at work and cared about the people.
"lI want to use the ladies' room," Mya muttered in the elevator.
"OK. I'll wait for you." The elevator arrived on the first floor, and doors slid open.
Mya headed for the ladies' room. Suddenly, a department manager stopped Finnley. "Hi, Mr. Russell." "Hello." Finnley nodded at him in response.
The manager chitchatted with him. "I didn't expect you to get married so fast. Usually, you were not close to women." Finnley knew what he wanted to talk about but had no mood to continue such a topic.
Seeing him look annoyed, the manager stopped asking him something personal.
Finnley waited for Mya.
After entering the ladies' room, Mya closed a cubicle. A few female employees also entered while chatting.
"Mya Saunders must be a liar. She married Mr. Russell as the mayor's daughter, but her father was arrested the next day." "The marriage must have been planned. Otherwise, how could they get married so soon? Many youngsters nowadays are afraid of getting married." "It's said the Russells reacted friendly. What else could they do? If they added insult to injury, their company's reputation would be ruined." "Exactly. Mr. Russell is so pitiful! He's such an outstanding man but has to marry a daughter of a criminal." "She must have deceived him. It's so unbearable!" Mya left the cubicle. Standing behind them, she listened to them gossip calmly.
"If | were Mya Saunders, | wouldn't feel too ashamed to appear here. How shameful she has such a father!" "She doesn't deserve Mr. Russell at all. Her father was the mayor but turned out to be an embezzler. Ha ha ha..." The women fell about laughing. However, when she looked up, she saw Mya behind her.
She shivered in fear and turned around immediately.
Others followed suit and saw Mya.

With an arrogant smile, she mocked, "It's the best time to break us up now. If you can, try to break us off. If not, you'd better shut your mouths." Her voice wasn't loud, but she had a strong aura. With those words, she left the ladies’ room.
All the women were rendered tongue-tied. Somehow, they couldn't utter their remarks when standing before Mya face-to-face.
Mya was close to Ivan and Jennifer, and she also married Finnley.
Without her father, none of them afforded to offend Mya, either. Or they might lose their jobs.
In the lobby, Mya walked towards Finnley. They left the building together.
Finnley drove, and Mya sat in the passenger's seat.
She peered out the window, watching the landscape. "I must cheer up! | still have Mom. I'll help Dad take good care of Mom." Finnley was delighted by her words. "That's good. Mr. Marsh will try his best to help your father. Probably, we'll get good news soon." When they arrived home, Paula served some late supper, but they didn't see Shirley.
"Where's my mom?" Mya asked.
Paula was surprised, looking around. "She was on the couch earlier and told me she was hungry. | was in the kitchen to cook for a few minutes..."
