Chapter 218: Fatten Them Up Before Killing

Seeing Isabelle's smug expression, Emma clenched her teeth, her nostrils filled with anger.

"You're pregnant?"

"I didn't expect someone who doesn't read much to know so much about the law." Isabelle's pink lips curved into a wicked smile, like a winged little devil, "Why don't you try to guess how likely it is that the baby in my belly is Jake Smith's?"

In Orientopia's law, there is a provision that if a criminal is pregnant, regardless of whether the baby is born or not, she will not be sentenced to death, as though her life were spared merely because the child in her belly is innocent.

It's been just over a month since the live streaming incident, but it's not impossible that she could be pregnant.

Just thinking about Isabelle carrying Jake's child made Emma feel nauseous.

At first, she was angry at the injustice of the law, but then her mom told her that the ultimate goal of the law was not to take lives, but to deter crime.
