Chapter 670: Each Receiving Their Retribution (1)
In the end, Debbie Duncan was convicted for kidnapping Elena. Although she didn’t abuse the girl or cause more severe consequences, the kidnapping was carried out according to her subjective will, so she was sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment and executed immediately.
Jane Auclair was not the mastermind, but since she knew about Debbie Duncan’s purpose of kidnapping Elena beforehand and participated in it, she was originally sentenced to five years of imprisonment. Due to Cole Duncan’s plea and her good attitude in admitting her guilt, she had the subjective intention to surrender, so her original five-year sentence was reduced to three years.
Upon hearing the verdict, especially her son’s plea for Jane, Debbie Duncan felt completely discouraged, as he never spoke up for her. Moreover, from the start of the trial until now, Cole Duncan never even spared her a glance, and she fainted in the court.
The Judge called for a doctor, but Cole Duncan remained motionless. Daisy Willow shook her head helplessly, seeing Cole’s cold attitude towards his mother. After all, this was the retribution Debbie Duncan brought upon herself.
It was not Cole’s fault for being unfilial when her only son could stay indifferent to her plight. Everything was Debbie’s own doing.
Daisy Willow felt no sympathy for Debbie, and the fifteen-year prison sentence was enough for a woman in her fifties. Daisy thought that her life with Elena would finally return to normal.
Unable to accept the verdict for her daughter, Joanna Auclair stood up in court, "Jane, don’t worry. Mom will appeal this for you. I will definitely help you appeal!"
"There’s no need, Mom. This is what I deserve. Take good care of yourself, and when I get out, I’ll make it up to you," Jane could finally see that things weren’t as bad for her as for her mother, Joanna.
