Axel spoke confidently, staring at Shannon with a piercing gaze. The intimidation of his eyes, which seemed like they could see through her, was not a joke.


    Shannon''s heart thumped like drums, and she swallowed dryly. Hunter''s heart tightened alongside.


    He had heard of how the public prosecutor in Savrow, Axel, was extremely stubborn and hard to deal with.


    Being a prosecutor was quite a sensitive and powerful role. Countless wealthy and influential people wanted to get one or two prosecutors on their side, serving them during critical moments. Many prosecutors look upright and fair, but in truth, they helped the conglomerates, entering into a mutually beneficial rtionship.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    But Axel was born with an overwhelming sense of justice and was also born into a wealthy conglomerate.


    How could they try to bribe him? The spare change he carried in his pocket was probably more than what people could offer!


    Axel presented the new evidence to the court.


    A white pill bottle in a stic evidence bag appeared on the screen immediately.


    Shannon stared at the screen, her brows deeply furrowed as her face was full of surprise.


    "Defendant, do you recognize this pill bottle?" Axel fixed his cold gaze on her as he questioned.


    Shannon shook her head nkly. "No... I don''t know what it is."


    Axel could not help but sneer. His tone was both imposing and oppressive. "You don''t know? This is your murder weapon. How could you not know?"


    Hunter''s heart suddenly tightened. Even someone as cunning as him could not guess what Axel had up his sleeve.


    "W-What murder weapon?! I''ve never killed someone. How could there be a weapon?! I don''t know anything!" Shannon''s forehead was covered in cold sweat, but she remembered what Hunter had instructed her.


    No matter what questions were thrown at her on the court, she could only deny them or feign ignorance. She must not dance to their rhythm.


    "Although the witness did not personally see your murder process, there were traces of your n to poison the deceased."


    Axel slightly narrowed his eyes. "You


    might think it was impossible to search for evidence for a twenty-year-old case. But you are too naive A witness might be unreliable, but as long as you don''t destroy the physical evidence in time, it will stay there forever. It will not vanish or lie. Even if you intend to destroy the evidence, our forensic technology has improved rapidly. What we couldn''t uncover twenty years ago was merely a piece of cake now."


    Shannon''s face turned ashen from fear, quickly recalling everything that happened in Mary''s room twenty years ago.


    She indeed nned to poison Mary, but she failed, as that bitch caught her in the act.


    Then she got into a fierce fight with Mary. She always thought that Mary was a pushover who could not stand up for herself, but Mary acted abnormally at that time, insisting on exposing her crimes.


    Therefore, amidst the struggle, Shannon identally pushed Mary off the balcony.


    Coincidentally, there was nobody around when Mary hit the ground. That womany in a pool of blood, eerily beautiful. Even her death was as lovely as an oil painting with rich and vibrant colors. Shannon freaked out but still used her dress to immediately wipe off her fingerprints on the balcony''s railing and footprints on the ground, then brought the poison away from the crime scene.


    What other evidence could there be?


    There could not be any evidence left at the scene!
