“No, it’s not. It’s NOT!”

Elspeth rattled the bars of her holding cell with a metallic clang, still struggling desperately as she

roared at Arnold with a snarl, “Arnold! How dare you con me with fake evidence! As a district attorney,

to present falsified evidence in court! You’re abusing your power! This is misconduct! Your so–called

evidence is worthless!”

Arnold looked at her with an expression full of irony, showing not a trace of fear.

Indeed, becoming a paragon of justice had always been his life’s ambition, and he had risked his

career by using the phony evidence against Elspeth.

But he didn’t regret it for a second.

Even if the wronged party wasn’t Evadne’s beloved, even if the victim wasn’t Thaddeus’s mother, he

would have done it anyway. His duty wasn’t just to follow the procedures of the law but to embody the

light of justice, breaking through the darkness at any

cost!

“You say the evidence is fake, and you’re right. This bottle isn’t the original one, and it doesn’t have

your fingerprints. But you confessed to the murder, you admitted to pushing the victim down the stairs.

These are the unshakeable truths! If you weren’t guilty, no matter how I baited you, you’d never have

confessed to all this! Elspeth, you killed someone with your own hands twenty years ago, and now as a

tycoon’s wife, you think you can just hire someone else to do your dirty work. You may not get the

death sentence this time, but justice has a long reach, and today you’ll pay for the blood debt of two

decades ago!”

Each word Arnold spoke weighed heavy in the hearts of all who heard him.

The courtroom fell silent, the reporters outside fell silent, even the live stream on the court’s official

website paused in silence. And in that silence, a piercing screech from the courtroom’s speakers

suddenly broke the quiet-

Then, the recording that Erica had risked her life to make was played for all to hear!

The recording captured only the most crucial parts, Elspeth’s voice was immediately recognizable, and

the other, Glynnis’s voice, was a mystery to all but the Abernathy family and Evadne’s inner circle.

“What’s going on here? How did this recording get played?”

The officers rushed to check the back, and the judicial staff were equally astounded!

Only Ivan remained composed, the judge who should have maintained order, chose silence at that

moment.

Elspeth seemed like a soulless husk, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

No matter how strong she was, no matter how vicious,

Glynnis, just a door away, trembled so violently she nearly bit off her own fingernails in fear!

“Evadne, this recording, could it be you?” Thaddeus gripped Evadne’s delicate hand tightly, astonished.

Evadne looked just as bewildered, blinking her beautiful eyes, “Not me. If I had planned anything, I

would’ve told you right away!”

Suddenly, her phone vibrated in her bag.

She hurriedly checked it to find a message from Elvis,

[Evadne, did you like the little surprise I set up for you?]

Evadne gasped and quickly typed, [The recording? Was that you?]

[Who else but me among your brothers has the skill to hack the court’s system? Even your husband,

my old college buddy, doesn’t have these chops.]

Evadne narrowed her eyes and typed, [Elvis, have you fallen in love?]

[In love? Ha, who needs that stuff?]

[So where did you learn those flirty words?]

[Well, just trying to lighten up the mood a bit.]

Despite teasing him, Evadne felt warmth in her heart.

She quickly showed Thaddeus the chat with Elvis, their heads leaning close together.

“When’s Elvis coming back? I must thank him in person,” Thaddeus said gratefully.

“Erm, you scared him off with your drinking last time. He probably doesn’t want to see you for a while?

Evadne replied with a helpless shrug

Thaddeus chuckled, “That was nothing. I hadn’t even started.”



With the interlude over, the court returned to order.

Ivan’s face was stern as he hammered his gavel, “We will recess now. Court will reconvene at three

this afternoon to announce the verdict!”

Before his words ceased echoing, Frederic stood up, radiating a chill, and left without a backward

glance

The next second, all his associates stood and left en masse, leaving the spectator seats, once packed,

now occupied only by the Ashbourne family.

“Frederic, it’s not true! I’ve never killed anyone! Frederic!” Elspeth cried out, reaching towards

Frederic’s retreating figure, but the only response was the resounding slam of the courtroom door.
