He had not shed a single tear at Mary's funeral. But now, he felt an overwhelming urge to weep for her.
However, belated affection meant nothing. His belated tears were equally meaningless.
Hunter staggered backward, utterly stunned as he looked at Shannon, as if struck by a lightning bolt.
In this instant, he finally understood everything.
From the beginning, Axel's so-called evidence had never existed. His reconstruction of the crscene was merely a pretext to place Shannon under intense interrogation. It was nothing more than a fabricated story.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAxel had set this trap from the very beginning and had methodically lured Shannon into stepping into it, driving her into an abyss of no return! Hunter closed his eyes, tormented by a whirlwind of emotions. Even now, he was still trying to find a solution, but he had exhausted all his efforts and had nothing left to give. He had no more tricks up his sleeve.
Shannon confessed in court, admitting that she had pushed Justin's mother off the balcony in her own words.
Even God could not save her now! Touched, the Thompsons' eyes teared up. Sasha almost let out a loud cry, but Mila quickly covered her mouth.
Asher's Adam's apple bobbed as he suppressed his intense emotions. He glanced at Ralph beside him. "You all truly orchestrated a brilliant play." "Well, Axel, Bella, and I merely played our parts." Ralph cast a look of admiration and respect at Justin's tall, upright figure. "The true mastermind is our incredibly resourceful brother-in-law. He followed the slightest clues to find the witness in Richmond and cup with the idea of presenting fabricated evidence in court to provoke Shannon, causing her to panic and confess. This guy is cunning and relentless!" Asher's heart trembled with a lingering fear. "What he did was incredibly risky. Even though Axel was willing to risk his entire career as a prosecutor to help pull off this daring performance, what if Shannon had been slick enough to hold out and not confide in it? What would you have done then?" Ralph pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "But, Ash, we had no other choice. It was a gamble, with everything on the line. If we hadn't taken the risk, there wouldn't have been any chance at all. In fact, believe that we're able to win the case this tbecause Justin's mother has been watching over him from beyond." Hearing this, Asher choked up, too moved to speak.
At this very moment, sitting in the front row, Bella clutched Justin's warm hand tightly, unable to hold back her tears.
"Finally... We won." "Yeah, we finally won the case." Justin gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Bella's eyes with his calloused fingertips. When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and filled with deep emotion. "Bella, thank you. I owe it to you, Axel, Steve, and Ralph... Thank you all. You all have given my mother the chance to rest in peace."
