Watching the electric car carrying Lawyer Thompson disappear into the dusk, Forsythia Brown looked at Gem Atkinson and said, "Lawyer Thompson told me everything."
"Hmm?"
"Five years ago, when you proposed divorcing me and requesting a retrial, you actually instructed him to make sure I was acquitted."
Gem laughed, put his arm around her shoulder, and slowly walked towards Bell Tower Garden, saying, "Let's forget the past."
"With Lawyer Thompson's eloquence, and no evidence to prove me guilty, as long as I didn't plead guilty, the court couldn't do anything to me. So, you've assumed that we wouldn't divorce after all."
As long as she didn't plead guilty, the court would have to reschedule the trial regarding his divorce proposal. During the rescheduled trial, he could completely withdraw the divorce request. So, he had never thought that they would divorce, and the proposal was just a result of temporary anger.
"Mmm."
