Chapter 316 Chapter 316 Hearing that William shared the same thought as me, I asked, "Are we able to find out more about the baby's condition prior?" If we could uncover that the baby's health had already been in jeopardy and that Grace had to terminate the pregnancy either way, we might be able to prove my innocence. "I already have people looking into it, but don't get your hopes up, he replied. "For starters, Hardwell Group is the largest medical conglomerate in the country. All of Grace's prenatal care was done in their own hospitals," William explained.
"So, there's almost no way for us to get her real medical records." He added, "And even if we do manage to, and there's proof that there was something wrong with her baby, it still won't prove that Grace tried to frame you, let alone that you didn't push her. "The key to this case is whether or not you push her. You're in police custody right now. So, in order to be released, you either need solid evidence that you didn't do so, or the victim drops the charges. This isn't a public relations battle." Grace had tried to use public opinion to label me a homewrecker.
She had also framed me as having maliciously pushed her, which caused her to lose the baby. If this were merely the case, then yes, proving the baby needed to be terminated would be enough to show that Grace had tried to frame me. It would also be sufficient to change the public's opinion of me. However, the Hardwells had involved the police, so this wasn't just about my public image. They were suing me for intentional assault, meaning it didn't matter what condition the baby had been in. امه The case against me was that I had pushed Grace, which led to fetal death.
As a result, she suffered a hemorrhage and was forced to undergo an emergency labor induction. Because of all this, legally, I was guilty. Hence, the only way to clear me of the charge was to prove that I hadn't pushed Grace. But the truth was, there wasn't any evidence to prove I didn't do so. So, even if we did uncover that she already had complications with her pregnancy, it still wouldn't be enough to spare me from a court trial. Grace's simple methods had me backed into a corner.
"In your situation, the only chance you have of being acquitted is if Grace decides to let you go and the Hardwell family drops the charges," William stated. I was at a loss for words because I knew he was telling the truth. Proving that the child needed to be terminated wouldn't absolve me of guilt, which meant the only option left was if Grace let me off the hook and didn't pursue legal action. But she wanted to destroy me and had even gone as far as to risk her life to do so. So, how could Grace possibly be willing to let me go? Besides, even if she were, Agatha would never let it happen.
