Madeline's pink lips curled slightly. The tall and handsome figure was reflected in her clear and beautiful pupils.Jeremy was wearing a tailored suit, a black shirt, and a burgundy tie. He was standing in the defendant's seat while looking cool and elegant.Compared to how tired and sick he looked in the previous two days, he was now in a very good state and also in good spirits.He had a graceful posture, and he exuded a kind of calm and relaxed charm.He was not at all like a criminal awaiting sentence, but rather a domineering adjudicator who wanted to try others.Ryan looked at Jeremy indifferently.It did not matter how good Jeremy's image was nor how strong his aura was now.He could not escape from being accused of homicide now that they had conclusive evidence.Ryan curled up the corners of his lips and smiled openly at Jeremy's calm gaze.He seemed to be showing off his victory.After the verdict was announced, Jeremy's reputation in Glendale would completely be des
He stared at her quietly with deep eyes before saying, “I have nothing to say.”Jeremy's response gave rise to all kinds of speculation.“Jeremy has nothing to say. Is that an acquiescence?”“We have the witnesses and physical evidence too. He can’t refute at all in the first place.”“I really didn’t expect him to have really killed someone.”“Aw, I used to admire him and idolize him!”The murmurs of people in the gallery basically confirmed Jeremy of those accusations. The discussions on the internet were the same.Madeline looked at Karen and Winston on the other side. They were frowning while looking very worried.“Why isn’t Jeremy defending himself? How is it possible that he would kill someone? He wouldn’t commit murder!” Karen muttered incoherently.Winston also frowned. “Don't get too worked up. If Jeremy didn’t do it, he won’t let himself be accused of such a crime.”“Quiet.” The judge hit the gavel, then talked about the police officer's murder last night. He summone
The smile on Ryan's face froze when Madeline suddenly said such a thing.He turned his head to look at Madeline who was smiling and calm. Then, doubts started forming in his heart.‘New evidence?‘What new evidence is she going to provide?’The judge looked at Madeline carefully. “Who are you?”Madeline bowed politely. “I’m Jeremy Whitman's wife, and my name is Eveline Montgomery.”Ryan frowned when she heard Madeline's self-introduction. The netizens watching the live broadcast and the people watching in the gallery were casting all kinds of weird glances and saying unkind remarks at Madeline once again.Was this woman sick?One second, she said that Jeremy was her husband. In the next second, she would be seen with Ryan. Now, she was claiming to be Jeremy's wife in court?What the hell was going on?The prosecution lawyer immediately stated, “Your Honor, unreviewed exhibits are not allowed to be shown in court. This is unreasonable!”“The rules are dead but as humans, we’r
Karen and Winston were both shocked. Then, they looked at Madeline who was still calm while feeling puzzled.“Eveline, don't make the same mistakes again and again. We’re in court.” It seemed that Ryan was persuading her in such a gentle and kind manner.Madeline smiled profoundly. “Ryan, I can’t continue this act anymore and you don't have to as well.”“...” Ryan was stunned. While looking at Madeline who was proud and arrogant at this moment, he could not associate her with the heartbroken woman who drowned herself with alcohol that night.It was all an act?Her vulnerable side, her sadness, and her grief that night were all just an act?“Ryan, I knew you would say that I’m forging evidence for Jeremy, but a lie is still a lie, after all. Lies will never prosper in the face of the truth.”Ryan looked dispiritedly at Madeline who was standing not far away from him. Then, he saw her bending down to pick up a bag from Ken’s side.His pupils shrank as he looked at the bag Madelin
The woman in the video was wrapped in a bath towel and was standing in front of a slender and elegant man.It was unknown what they were talking about. Then, the man took out a gun with a silencer all of a sudden and shot the woman on her calf.The woman immediately slumped to the ground in pain while leaning against the wall.After that, the man shot the woman on her shoulder again. Finally, he directly shot the woman in her heart.This scene of the shooting was as clear as day.Due to the distance between the two buildings, the faces of the man and woman were a little fuzzy, but from the silhouettes and clothes, it could be determined that the man in the black suit was Ryan while the woman was Lana.“Oh my God!”“It’s Ryan!”“I didn't expect Ryan to be the real murderer!”“He actually killed someone and still blamed Jeremy for it?”“This is too insidious!”The people in the gallery were stunned as the comments online went insane.Then, Madeline provided another video. “Ry
How could there be a witness?Just when he suspected that Madeline was just trying to be deliberately mystifying, he saw someone coming in through the side door suddenly.The man was in a wheelchair, and although his mental state was not very good, he was indeed a living person!Ryan looked at this police officer who he had personally shot and killed but turned out to be safe and sound.“Ryan, you didn’t expect this, right? I’m not dead.” Although the police officer was weak, he was full of energy when he said this.“The recording played by Miss Montgomery just now is real, because I was the one who recorded it with a recording pen at the time,” the police officer glared at Ryan and said.“Your Honor and everyone here, I swear in the name of the People's Police that Ryan Jones is the real murderer behind Lana Johnson’s death. That night, he tried to kill me and blamed Mr. Jeremy Whitman for it again. Ryan Jones is the one behind all of these! What Miss Montgomery said are all fac
Looking at Jeremy whose eyes were filled with worry, Ryan chuckled and asked, “Do you think I can let her go now?”Compared to Jeremy's nervousness, Madeline was much calmer. “Ryan, you’re an Interpol agent too, so you should know that you’ll be punished by law if you commit a crime.”Ryan's eyes showed a little appreciation when he saw that Madeline was not afraid of anything.“I know, so that’s why I can't let you go now.” He smirked, but the smile on his elegant and handsome face that was as soft as spring breeze was long gone. At this moment, there was only an evil sneer.There was no need for interrogation because through Ryan’s behavior, everyone could clearly see the truth now.He committed murder and wanted to blame Jeremy for his crime, but in the end, evil could never trump justice. His gentle and elegant facade was completely torn apart by Madeline, and he was now covered with a dark and evil aura like Satan from the night.“Jeremy, if you don't want anything to happen
After hearing Madeline's explanation, Ryan could not help but chuckle.“Eveline, I underestimated you.”He seemed to be admitting defeat, but there seemed to be a hint of joy in his smile.“I was right. You’re indeed a woman worthy of me submitting to you cheerfully.”“I’m not as good as you think. Ryan, you lost because you’re too arrogant.”Madeline gave him a merciless blow and told Ryan the subtle details.“Actually, I knew that there was a camera in your study. I knew you must’ve seen me entering your study and saw that I tried to open your safe. So, I deliberately told you that I wanted to steal the reagents.”Upon hearing this, Ryan's face changed slightly.Back when it happened, he thought that Madeline was being sincere to him, but he did not expect that she just did that to win his trust!“Ryan, I can also tell you that there’s no tenant opposite Glendale Hotel who happened to capture the scene of you killing Lana on the security camera.”“...”Madeline's announcem
