Chapter 398 -398 I Don’t Want to Be Insane!
Ruby Green and the three others were taken to the airport police station. On the way, they saw a news report on the big screen. A stone bridge near the International Hospital had been bombed. A black sedan had plunged into the river. Currently, the police and fire department were working together to salvage the vehicle. The chances of survival for those inside were slim.
This news made Ruby think of a possibility, and she couldn’t help but hope. Just then, one of the arresting officers whispered, “I heard the one who fell was Master Brandon Piers’ fiancée. Even the Special Forces’ Luke Scout was brought in by him.”
“Yeah, it doesn’t look like an accident. Piers must have offended someone,” another officer responded.
Ruby’s swollen face turned into a fit of uncontrollable laughter, “Ha ha ha, karma, karma!”
Ruby’s face, already swollen like a pig’s head, became even more grotesque and terrifying as she laughed maniacally. But she couldn’t control herself.
She had always worried that that idiot Gordon would mess things up for her again. But this time, the guy finally proved useful and finished the job.
Abigail Green, that fat bitch, was finally dead!
The frustration that had been pressing against Ruby’s chest slowly dissipated. The anger and resentment from being beaten by the Taylors were completely gone.
At this moment, Ruby wished she could pop open a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
“You’ve gone crazy!” The police officer escorting her, along with the Taylors, were all startled by Ruby’s sudden laughter. One of them muttered under his breath.
Fanny Taylor found Ruby’s laughter somewhat eerie. “Dad, Mom, has she gone mad?”
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor didn’t respond, but their expressions said they were looking at a lunatic.
However, Ruby didn’t care at all.
These days, she dreamt every night of skinning Abigail alive, making her suffer a miserable death.
If it weren’t for that fat bitch, she would still be George Piers’ mother and Master Brandon’s fiancée. Her mother wouldn’t have been sued by that old man Lincoln Green and sentenced to prison. Ruby herself wouldn’t have fallen from being a rich lady to having nothing.

These were all Abigail Green’s faults.
She was the one who caused all this suffering. Now she was dead, and they would never be harmed by her again!
The more Ruby thought about it, the more excited she became. She looked at the police with burning eyes and asked, “Is it true that Master Brandon’s fiancée is dead?”
The officer looked at Ruby with disgust. “You four disturbed public order. Detainment for fifteen days.”
“What?” Ruby, who had been so excited just a moment ago, instantly cried out in dissatisfaction, “I am the victim. Why are you detaining me? I am the victim! You should detain them!”
The Taylors, who had been a bit frightened by Ruby’s sinister laughter, exploded upon hearing her words.
Mr. Taylor pointed at Ruby’s nose. “I am your grandfather. It is rightful to discipline you!”
“Yes, we are elders. It is rightful to discipline this little bitch!” Fanny Taylor echoed.
“You still have the nerve to call yourselves my elders? What kind of elders are you? A bunch of heartless, black-hearted people. I will sue you for intentional harm!”
Hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, along with Fanny, rushed forward, ready to continue beating Ruby.
A few police officers shouted sternly, stopping the four from starting a brawl in the station.
For safety’s sake, they were separated and detained in two different rooms.
Three days later, the police received a court order to transfer the detainees to the court.
The charge was for hiring a murder.
Ruby nearly fainted when she heard this.
These past few days, she had been too excited that Abigail was finally dead, forgetting that Gordon was her hire. Once exposed, it would inevitably implicate her.
Ruby panicked, while trying to comfort herself, thinking, with “Period” around, the court couldn’t possibly find any records or conversations of her transactions with Gordon.
The Taylors were equally scared, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear as they looked at Ruby.
Especially Fanny Taylor, who had been the most ruthless towards Ruby. After arriving in Gills City, she had heard rumors that the eldest Taylor daughter was convicted of murder. Now Ruby was also being charged with hiring a murderer. Would she come after her next?
Fanny Taylor was furious, pointing at Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, who had finally calmed down after three days in the police station. “Look at what you raised. All of them are murderers!”
“Shut up!” Mr. Taylor squatted in the corner, his face extremely grim, glaring fiercely at his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Taylor flinched and looked at her husband. “Dear, could it really be true? Rose was such a soft-hearted child. How could she kill anyone? And Ruby, despite being a girl. If she really killed someone, what about Jackson? What about Jackson…”
Mrs. Taylor couldn’t help but mutter to herself, her voice tinged with anxious nervousness.
Mr. Taylor remained silent, squatting there. He had more worries. Now, their money was gone. One house had been sold. How were they going to pay off the mortgage on the remaining house? What about their two grandsons going to college?
Where were they going to get the money for their son’s bail?
The once arrogant family now looked like frostbitten eggplants, with Fanny Taylor squatting in the corner, sobbing.
What was she going to do? What would happen to her sons?
As for Rose Taylor and Ruby Green, no one spared a thought for them.
When Ruby was transferred to court, she was trembling all over. Partly from the pain in her cheeks and body, and partly from fear.
She had witnessed her mother lose the lawsuit and get sentenced to twelve years. What if she lost too?
But amidst her fear and anxiety, there was also a tinge of excitement.
To be charged with hiring a murder meant it was real, not attempted murder.
Abigail truly was dead. But she might not necessarily be sentenced.
Clinging to this false hope, Ruby called the lawyer who had helped her before, requesting his defense. But he directly refused her.
Ruby was very unhappy and finally applied to the court for legal aid. Seven days later, just before the trial, she received a call from a lawyer at a high-end law firm in Gills City, willing to defend her.
This news was like a shot of adrenaline for Ruby, making her believe even more that she would be fine.
But when she met with the lawyer, he told her he came on the instruction of her father to defend her.
Ruby took a while to realize this father wasn’t Lincoln Green, but Johnson.
Her face darkened instantly. “Who said he was my father? He is not my father!”
The lawyer gave Ruby a long look. “Your father asked me to tell you, no matter what evidence the other side presents, you just need to deny it. If necessary, we will present evidence of your mental state to the court.”
“What do you mean by that?” Ruby asked warily.
“Our country’s law has a provision that mentally ill criminals are not held responsible.”
Ruby didn’t even think. “I don’t want that. I don’t want to pretend to be crazy!”
“Miss Green, you must think carefully. This time, you are up against Master Brandon’s team of lawyers. It will be very hard to evade punishment.”
“I don’t want it. I don’t…”
The lawyer stood up. “Think carefully, Miss Green.”
After leaving the court, the lawyer dialed a number and respectfully reported, “Rest assured.”
