Camilla Farrell's demeanor chilled slightly, her expression tinged with solemnity.
Purple Summers continued, "Unlawful detention, if accompanied by prolonged imprisonment, insult, and battery, can lead to a severe sentence. However, Jade Carlson has not inflicted any direct harm on your child, and even with Secretary Wiggins intervening, the sentence would be at most three years."
Purple Summers looked up, her clear and cool gaze meeting Camilla Farrell's as she asked, "Mrs. Farrell, can three years of imprisonment alleviate your hatred?"
Just three years, can that really soothe the resentment?
...Of course not.
Camilla Farrell recalled the deception she suffered, the thought of her daughter nearly ending up in an icy pit. Her hatred was such that she wished to cast Jade Carlson into hell, never to rise again! How could a mere three-year stint in prison suffice to quell her hatred!
At that moment, Camilla Farrell finally understood Purple Summers' intentions.
