“Even if you say so, the deceased died from falling off the building. Although my client was present, nobody could directly prove that the deceased’s death had anything to do with my client.”
As Hunter spoke, he looked at Clarence seriously. “Your Honor, the plaintiff’s witness could not serve as a direct witness in this case. Moreover, she disappeared for twenty years before coming out to testify. Could her memory have become faulty? Was she in cahoots with someone else secretly? Her testimony is unreliable!”
The courtroom fell silent. Everyone glared at Hunter’s punchable face, fire almost bursting out of their eyes.
Shannon kept her head down, hiding her face, trying her best to control her expression to the extent that her facial muscles were twitching.
She was really afraid that she would lose control of her expression and laugh out loud in joy.
Shannon thought, ‘Mary, you wretched bitch! You couldn’t win against me when you’re alive. Do you think you can do so after death? What a joke!’
Steven’s eyes were bloodshot when he saw that the case had ended in a stalemate. He sat down unwillingly. The Thompson family was fuming, wishing they could jump forward and tear Shannon apart.
“Fuck… Why bother with all this? We should have just sent someone in, like how Charles was dealt with. We should strangle her in the cell or drown her in the toilet bowl. End it once and for all!”
Sasha’s eyes bulged with hatred. “Even shit couldn’t shut Hunter’s dirty mouth up! I was too lenient with him. I should’ve ripped out his tongue and made him a mute lawyer!”
Mila was distressed about Justin’s mother’s plight, shaking her head as she sighed. “It’s too easy to let someone die. But if we do that, the world will never know the truth about Mrs. Salvador’s death. Justin will never be able to seek justice for his mother, who died in vain.”
Axel’s gaze was determined, and he slowly stood up, bowing earnestly to the judge and spectators.
When he sat back down, his intense gaze subconsciously swept through the last row, landing on Roza’s fair face.
Roza’s rosy lips were slightly pursed, her eyes flickering behind the dark sunglasses as her heartbeat increased.
The moment Axel withdrew his gaze, her lips parted, and she mouthed silently, “Good luck.”
“After investigation, I have prepared a few questions for the defendant, Shannon.”
