Chapter 505
Chupse…
With Meredith’s unconstrained roar came her confession, pulling the entire courthouse into a silence.
Meredith’s eyes were bloodshot as she panted. She realized that she had misspoken!
She had just confessed to killing Brittany Montgomery!
Meredith’s attorney stared at her in a daze, slowly growing cold.
“So it was you, Meredith Crawford! You murderer! Murderer!” Diana broke down and screamed.
Meredith balled her fists as her eyes flashed.
Jeremy stared indifferently at Meredith’s ugly appearance, his tone unfazed. “You’re right, Meredith Crawford. You did delete the video, but I also had a skilled technician recover it for me.”
“…” Meredith stared at Jeremy at a loss, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Why? Why must you do this to me, Jeremy? I’m the woman you love the most! You promised you’d protect me forever so why are you helping that b*tch Madeline and framing me instead? Why?!”
Jeremy’s eyes sharpened at her ostentatious accusations. “Stop pretending. It won’t work anymore. You know exactly who the woman I’ve been in love with this entire time is, Meredith Crawford.”
“…”
“In addition to Brittany Montgomery, you’ll face consequences for the life of Madeline’s grandfather very soon as well.”
Meredith rushed out of the witness stand at Jeremy’s aloof words but was quickly held back by the court police.
As she struggled, Meredith glared and bellowed at Madeline.
As Brittany’s murder was too gruesome and she was also convicted of the deliberate murder of Len Samuels, Meredith was given the death penalty. Attempts of an appeal were denied, and the penalty was to be carried out in a month’s time.
The court was adjourned and Madeline exited the courthouse to bask in the warmth of the early spring sun. A relieved smile graced her features.
Her eyes shone as she looked at the sky.
‘You can rest now, Grandfather. The person who killed you is finally being held accountable.
‘Thank you for taking care of and protecting me during those ten years.
‘I would never have made it here now if not for you.’
“Eveline, Eveline!”
