NovelStartEmily confessed everything she knew. After she vented her grievance and bitterness that she had suppressed for the past twenty years, she slumped back into her seat, drenched in sweat.
At this moment, she genuinely felt guilty and remorseful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hated herself for telling the truth twenty years too late! If she had not been so greedy back then, if she could be fearless against Shannon's threat and expose that evil bitch for murdering Mrs. Salvador. Then Mrs. Salvador could rest in peace. Emily also would not suffer twenty years of exile.
She was truly foolish. At that time, Shannon was merely Chairman Salvador's mistress. Why should she be afraid of such a despicable woman? If Chairman Salvador and his wife repaired their relationship, Shannon would never stand a chance, nor could she remain in the Salvador Corporation. Even if she was pregnant with his child, her ultimate fate would have been to be cast aside, and only her child could stay.
However, there was no turning back.
The Thompson family listened to the cruel truth from the spectator's seat, all feeling as if they were witnessing the death of Justin's mother firsthand.
The three mistresses and Amelia were already in tears, and Ralph had a heavy expression. Even Asher, who was always composed and calm, had slightly reddened eyes at this moment.
He, his brothers, and Bella had all lost their mother early. But compared to Justin, they were incredibly fortunate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt did not hurt the most to lose a mother to illness. The greatest pain was when she died with a remaining grievance, unable to rest in peace! "Your Honor, regarding this case, I have a few questions for the witness." Hunter stood up with a dark look.
Bella and Justin knew this bastard would definitely stir up trouble. He must try his best to save Shannon for his own future. Even though they were prepared, their hearts still tightened.
Clarence nodded sternly. "Permitted." youHunter walked to Emily, staring at her with a chilling gaze. "Witness, accuse my client of being the real murderer who killed Mrs. Salvador. Did you see my client push her off the building with your own eyes? You only need to answer yes anno. You don't need to say anything else." Steven's brows furrowed, and he clenched his fists.
Emily could only answer honestly. "No... But I clearly heard..." With a bang, Hunter slammed on the table, scaring Emily out of her wits. "Any object can make a sound when it collides. If someone outside hears this, will they think I am killing someone?" Steven immediately raised his hand, interrupting, "Your Honor, I object to the defendant using such misleading hypothetical questions!" Clarence said, "Defendant, avoid asking hypothetical questions." Hunter smiled coldly and continued, "This means that the witness did not personally see my client commit the alleged murder. Her testimony could only prove that my client was the last person to see the deceased She is a suspect, but not definitively the murderer. Besides, you said my client tried to poison the deceased with fentanyl, but fentanyl is not poison. It is a common analgesic, and one could even obtain it at a clinic overseas. It is a legal type of drug." "Although fentanyl is an analgesic, it is common knowledge that a slightly higher dosage could be lethal." Steven thought that Hunter's argument was pure sophistry. He immediately retorted indignantly, "As long as it's lethal, this type of drug carries a significant danger. The defendant should adhere to the facts rather than playing word games!"
