Chapter 503
With Meredith and Diana yelling, most of the people in the auditorium turned to look at Madeline with interest.
Infuriated, Eloise and Sean jumped up to defend Madeline.
“Let them say what they want.” Madeline stopped Eloise and Sean. “There’s conclusive evidence, so Meredith can’t run from this. As for Diana, well, she’ll know soon enough how foolish she’s acting now.”
Even though they were filled with fury, Eloise and Sean clenched their fists and sat back down.
Frustrated and filled with distaste, they felt unworthy of Madeline.
After all, the Montgomery family could be said to have played a part that resulted in the way Meredith and Diana acted today.
Neither of them had a conscience.
One of them switched their daughter for another, while the other stole their daughter’s identity. They had taken everything that was meant for Madeline.
To think that the two would slander Madeline now.
What heinous and abominable people!
The judge hit his hammer heavily on the mantle. “Silence! Defendant, unless you wish to be additionally charged with contempt of court, I suggest you quiet down! You too, Ms. Diana Samuels.”
Meredith bit her dry lip in indignance, but the look from her lawyer had her closing her mouth for the time being.
Diana quieted down as well, resorting to glaring at Madeline.
With nothing to be guilty about, Madeline met the suspecting gazes unfazed.
Soon enough, the court began to review the case.
Meredith’s defense attorney was good at his job, having most likely been hired by Rose and Jon.
“Bang!” The judge knocked his hammer again. “Order in the court!”
Then, the bailiff stood and walked over to whisper to the judge. Listening, the judge nodded solemnly and announced, “New crucial evidence has come to light. May the witness be called to the stand.”
New witness and evidence?
Both Meredith and her attorney turned to look at each other in shock.
Madeline turned to look at the door as well and was met with a familiar figure entering the room.
Jeremy?
Elegant and dignified, the man walked with a gush of cold air surrounding him.
Meredith’s eyes widened. She was overwhelmed with a bad feeling.
