Chapter 1335
Based on my nature, there’s absolutely no way that I will let Asher off the hook. I would have ordered Asher to be disposed of if it weren’t for Sonia. Yet, Asher just had to be acquainted with her. He’s not just a mere acquaintance either. In fact, he just had to be the senior member of Paradigm, which has brought significant contributions to the company. Moreover, not only was he her father’s business partner, but also his good friend.
Even though their friendship crumbled to dust afterward due to conflicts caused by Asher’s inferiority complex, we still can’t deny that Asher had been a decent friend in the past. Coupled with her soft- hearted nature, it’s very likely that she won’t mete out a heavy punishment toward Asher out of respect for his contributions to Paradigm. Although I can’t deny that my wishes are the exact opposite of her possible decision, I would still respect her choice. That’s why I decided to ask her about what she will do with Asher.
That was what Toby thought.
On the contrary, Sonia didn’t know what he was thinking. Even so, a hint of hatred immediately appeared on her face when she heard him asking about Asher. “Of course, I will make him pay a heavy price. He nearly killed the two of us, so we should not handle his case lightly.”
She balled her fists tighter as her anger grew, so she added, “Nevertheless, I have inquired about Asher’s case. According to the police, the most severe punishment he will receive is life without parole. Still, nothing is set in stone. It’s also very likely that he may just be sentenced to more than ten years in prison. That’s why I’m mad. I would be fine if he receives life without parole, but I would be utterly disgusted if he only gets sentenced to more than ten years in prison.”
Toby stared at her with slight shock in his eyes and asked, “So, you want Asher to receive life without
parole?”
