Female Novel
Chapter 1491
Sentenced to death... He was sentenced to death?
Jeffrey's mind felt like it had been struck by a massive explosion. He couldn't hear what Steven was
saying next, and he didn't want to either.
He grabbed onto the railing and shouted hysterically, "How could I be sentenced to death? I'm not a
citizen of your country! Are you bullying me because I don't understand the law?
"Even if I'm sentenced to death, it shouldn't be by you. I should be deported back to my country and be
judged by my country's court! You can't sentence me to death!"
Steven glanced at Jeffrey's pale and sinister face with a faint smile, then coldly raised his voice. "You're
talking to me about the law? Okay, I'll give you a simple lesson in law, then.
"According to the Diplomatic and Consular Immunity Act, the criminal responsibility of foreigners who
enjoy diplomatic immunity is resolved through diplomatic channels. Jeffrey, what qualifications do you
think you have to enjoy this right?
"Furthermore, foreigners who commit crimes within our country are subject to our country's laws, equal
to our citizens. However, some foreigners who enjoy diplomatic immunity may be given a chance of
survival. But Jeffrey, you're clearly not one of them."
Jeffrey trembled. "No, that's not possible."
"Also, the Tsulu Embassy contacted us after the trial this morning. They said they wouldn't interfere in
your case and gave us full rights over it. Since you don't enjoy diplomatic immunity, according to the
principle of jurisdiction, our court has the right to judge you according to the law.
"Now, you're convicted of first-degree murder, so we can lawfully sentence you to death."
"I did kill, but Sophia threatened me! I was forced!"
Jeffrey glared fiercely at Sophia. "I was just an accomplice! Sophia is the mastermind! She manipulated
me. She should be the one sentenced to death!"
Sophia stared at Jeffrey with bloodshot eyes and spat rudely at his face.
Although the occasion was inappropriate, the Taylors almost burst out laughing when they saw
Sophia's frenzied demeanor. It starkly contrasted her former dignified and elegant persona as the wife
of a wealthy tycoon.
"She has quite a good mentality. Even at this point, she's still acting arrogantly." Alyssa squinted her
eyes.
"If not, how could she be a villain?" Smirking, Jasper stared at the two sinners arguing with cold eyes.
"Let her be mad. It's probably the last time in her life."
Sophia and Jeffrey were about to start fighting, but fortunately, the court officers subdued them in time.
Steven's eyes were filled with disgust. After so many years in this profession, he had seen all sorts of
rampant, evil, and sick criminals. But these two were definitely among the worst, making him so
annoyed that he wanted to throw the gavel at them.novelbin
"Now, I'll announce the trial result of the defendant Sophia Kirkman for the cases of contract killing and
first-degree murder."

In a daze, besides the smell of rust, she also smelled a nauseating odor of decay.
It was like a dead animal had been buried under her feet for a long time. Ominous odors rose in waves,
wrapping around her tightly.
She crinkled her nose, sniffing around like a dog, searching for the source of the smell.

Steven's tone was even colder and more solemn when announcing the sentence this time compared to
when he was dealing with Jeffrey.
Sophia shuddered all over. Would she still be alive after 30 years?
