"Even if you say so, the deceased died from falling off the building. Although my client was present, nobody could directly prove that the deceased''s death had anything to do with my client."


    As Hunter spoke, he looked at rence seriously. "Your Honor, the intiff''s witness could not serve as a direct witness in this case. Moreover, she disappeared for twenty years beforeing out to testify. Could her memory have be faulty? Was she in cahoots with someone else secretly? Her testimony is unreliable!"


    The courtroom fell silent. Everyone red at Hunter''s punchable face, fire almost bursting out of their eyes.


    Shannon kept her head down, hiding her face, trying her best to control her expression to the extent that her facial muscles were twitching.


    She was really afraid that she would lose control of her expression andugh out loud in joy.


    Shannon thought, ''Mary, you wretched bitch! You couldn''t win against me when you''re alive. Do you think you can do so after death? What a joke!''


    Steven''s eyes were bloodshot when he saw that the case had ended in a stalemate. He sat down unwillingly. The Thompson family was fuming, wishing they could jump forward and tear Shannon apart. "Fuck... Why bother with all this? We should have just sent someone in, like how Charles was dealt with. We should strangle her in the cell or drown her in the toilet bowl. End it once and for all!" Sasha''s eyes bulged with hatred. "Even shit couldn''t shut Hunter''s dirty mouth up! I was too lenient with him. I should''ve ripped out his tongue and made him a mutewyer!"


    M was distressed about Justin''s mother''s plight, shaking her head as she sighed. "It''s too easy to let someone die. But if we do that, the world will never know the truth about Mrs. Salvador''s death. Justin wil never be able to seek justice for his mother, who died in vain."


    "And he would never make Gregory regret his idiocy and ruthlessness," Celeste said coldly.


    M''s lips curled disdainfully. "At this point, Justin would not care about what Gregory thinks. That man did not even thoroughly investigate the death of his wife, and he foolishly married a murderer for twenty years. So what if he knew the truth? He is too arrogant and prideful. I don''t believe he could feel much remorse. If I were Mary, I wouldn''t even want Gregory to kneel and beg for my forgiveness at my grave. He would only be disturbing my peace!"


    Amidst the stalemate, Justin''s expression was still calm, frightening the others.


    At this moment, he gradually shifted his gaze toward Axel, the public prosecutor.


    The debate was over. Steven had nearly turned the tide, only to have Hunter knock it over again.


    "If the intiff does not have any new evidence, the prosecutor may proceed with questioning the case." As the judge, rence could only follow the process.


    Axel''s gaze was determined, and he slowly stood up, bowing earnestly to the judge and spectators.


    When he sat back down, his intense gaze subconsciously swept through thest row,nding on Roza''s fair face.


    Roza''s rosy lips were slightly pursed,

    The moment Axel withdrew his gaze, her lips parted, and she mouthed silently, "Good luck."


    "After investigation, I have prepared a few questions for the defendant, Shannon."
