NovelStartShannon's eyes darted around as she continuously tried to think of a plan.
In the end, she could only grit her teeth and face it, thinking that the accident happened twenty years ago. Twenty years! So what if the maid testified against it? She did not witness how everything happened with her own eyes, and all the evidence was long gone.
With that thought, her expression eased a little, and she slowly straightened her back.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGregory glanced at the maid with a surprised look, completely forgetting who she was, even if she was the maid who served the woman he loved most closely for several years.
Bella's heart pounded nervously, and her breathing was erratic. Thankfully, Justin hooked his arm around her waist, silently soothing her emotions, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
She was not someone who could not keep calm.
However, it was different this time. It involved the most important battle for the man she loved most-a chance to settle a twenty- year blood feud.
The maid sat in the witness dock nervously, not daring to look at the spectators, much less Shannon. Her legs trembled violently under the table.
Clarence flipped through her information file, his eyes narrowing sharply. He then asked, as a procedure, “The witness' name?" "Emily... Emily Bluefield." The maid answered timidly.
"I've read your information. You once worked for the Salvador family as a maid twenty years ago." Gregory's eyes widened in shock. At this time, he finally remembered that the witness had indeed worked for them, and she was Mary's personal maid.
After Mary passed away, she resigned with an excuse. Gregory had long forgotten about this insignificant character, and he totally did not expect to see her again in court, especially as a witness.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThinking of Mary, Gregory felt a stab of pain in his heart, which made him clutch his shirt instinctively.
Emily nodded. "Yes... Twenty years ago, I worked at the Salvador family's Tideview Manor. I was the maid of Madam Mary, the deceased wife of Chairman Salvador and Mr. Justin's mother. I was responsible for taking care of Mr. Mary's daily needs." Her nhad been sealed for twenty years, so it was different after resurfacing for ten or twenty years.
Only Justin's eyes reddened instantly, welling up with crystal-clear tears, blurring his gaze full of intense hatred.
Hunter snorted, thinking that Steven brought in an irrelevant person as a desperate struggle, his last resort. "The plaintiff's attorney, do your witnesses have any connection to this case?" Everyone's eyes focused on Steven, especially Asher, looking at him with hope and worry for his upcoming performance.
Ignoring Hunter, Steven walked to Emily and said firmly, "Your Honor, my witness actually has not much to do with this case." Upon hearing his words, Hunter could not conceal the contempt on his face.
However, his triumph did not last more than three seconds. Steven's next sentence made the crowd's jaw drop with shock. "But she could with prove that Shannon was related to a murder case twenty years ago." Everyone was stunned speechless! "Twenty years ago, Chairman Gregory's wife, Madam Mary, fell to her death in the Salvador family's Tideview Manor. The police ruled it a suicide, and the Salvadors chose to settle the case quickly to minimize the impact on their company. But now, I can tell everyone confidently that Madam Mary did not commit suicide at all. It was a murder! The person who killed her was Shannon!"
