NovelStartBlood... Terrifying, crimson blood! Thinking of Mary's gruesdeath, Shannon suddenly felt a piercing ringing in her ears. She was drenched in cold sweat as if she had drowned, and her colorless lips trembled uncontrollably.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mrs. Salvador? Mrs. Salvador, are you alright?" Hunter noticed her abnormality and asked in surprise.
"No... Nothing." Shannon's cuffed hands curled into a ball underneath the table, fiercely cutting off the memories in her brain. "Mrs. Salvador, you haven't answered my question yet." Hunter asked again, “You need to be honest with me. Are you still responsible for any other lives? This is extremely important forto defend you in court and protect your reputation. Although it was just a maid who died, Justin and Bella are clearly trying to use this case as a breakthrough to bring you down completely. They will definitely do everything in their power to dig through your past. It's hard to say what evidence against you they might throw out in court.” Shannon's body still trembled uncontrollably as she bit her lip tightly.
"I don't have any ulterior motives for asking you this question. I only want to increase our chances of winning in court. Now, you need to be entirely honest with me. Trustand cooperate with me. I can only stand undefeated in court if I know everything about you." Shannon let out a chilling sneer. "Mr. Lovett, are you really trying to help me, or are you only doing this to protect your own legendary record?" Hunter did not like being asked this question, but due to her status as Mrs. Salvador, he still had to flatter her. “Compared to my undefeated record, it's more important to help you clear your name, of course." "Forget it. I can't trust any of you lawyers!" Out of anxiety, Shannon's legs shook as if she were having a seizure. "If I told you, you would have another weapon to blackmailwith in the future. I've seen too many of these despicable tricks. Don't think of lying to me!" Hunter frowned and asked, "So you mean... There's really something?" "No! I've never killed anyone! Never! Don't accuse me!" Shannon broke down. She suddenly stood up and yelled like a maniac. "Okay, okay. It's good if you didn't." Hunter stepped back, fearing she would pounce on him and bite.
Every seat was taken in the court.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmne Although the trial was to be tried publicly and streamed live on the court's official website, Gregory had booked all the seats he could to avoid any random outsiders from slipping in and causing trouble. Then he filled them with people from the Salvador Corporation and legal acquaintances. Besides Gregory, the long-hidden Bethany was also summoned for today's trial.
Naturally, she did not want to show herself in such an unpleasant place. She had long lost any hint of affection for her mother.
"Dad, why did you forceto come? Those reporters will start making up stories when they see me!" Bethany whined, her brows furrowing in frustration. "I don't even dare to step outside now, refusing to attend gatherings, afraid of being laughed at! With a mother like that... It's such a disgrace!" "Being laughed at? You're from the Salvador family. Who would dare laugh at you? Besides, no matter what, she's still your mother. As her daughter, you should show support for her to get through this period. How could you say such cruel words?" Gregory sat in the front row sternly, reprimanding Bethany in a cold tone. Bethany asked exasperatedly, "Then why is it just me? Where's Carrie?" "Don't you know what condition your sister is in? How could she chere and deal with the stress? As her sister, you should be more considerate instead of complaining." Gregory shook his head, displeased. Bethany did not dare to speak further, silently seething. 'You're only siding with that fool because she has Ryan backing her up!'
