The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 4702

As Jakel was accompanying Elaine to the hospital, Charlie was on his way to New York.

Jakel reported the situation to Jordan promptly, and Jordan then reported the situation to Charlie immediately.

According to Jakel, he would only be able to apply for one to two days of hospital treatment time for Elaine at most, but Elaine would have to attend the preliminary hearing after the hospital treatment was over.

During the preliminary hearing, the judge would make a ruling on whether Elaine could be released on bail based on the general circumstances of the case.

If she could be released on bail, the judge would give a bail amount, and as long as the money was available, she would be able to temporarily regain her freedom.

However, according to Jakel, the amount of contraband involved in Elaine’s case was too large, so bail was basically impossible.

This meant that Elaine would temporarily be held in a detention center after the preliminary hearing.

Similarly, the United States also had two types of institutions just like Oskia, namely: jail and prison. Although they both translated to mean prison, the former was actually more similar to the detention center in Oskia, which was used to temporarily detain suspects with minor crimes who had not yet been sentenced, whereas the latter was the real prison which was used to imprison criminals who had been sentenced.

Elaine would be detained in the former.

In order not to make Charlie worry too much, Jordan also promised Charlie that he could quietly take Elaine out of jail first through a special channel.

What’s more, if Charlie wished to, he could even send Elaine back to Oskia directly and settle things over here completely.

However, Charlie declined his kind offer.
