    “What’s up with you?” Even Marcel Jefferson noticed Purple Summers’ good mood and couldn’t help but ask her in a low voice.


    “Nothing much, I just feel happy seeing her make a fool of herself.” Purple Summers exined lightly.


    Marcel Jefferson waspletely lost.


    Purple Summers had witnessed Jade Carlson’s performance in court and thought back on the times when they used to work at the Prosecutor’s Office together.


    Jade Carlson, as her assistant, was indeed diligent and hardworking, but her attitude always seemed perfunctory.


    When Allen Rivera would sort through case files, he would maintain a high level of attention on the case from beginning to end, never missing a single point of doubt. But when it was Jade Carlson’s turn, it was just about sorting out the files to her, she neither cared why the victim died nor why the suspectmitted the crime.


    To her, it was just work.


    However, she forgot that this job is not just work; she would be a prosecutor in the future and she must maintain a keen interest and enthusiasm for the cases.


    Suzanne Saunders rejected her promotion application twice, and Jade Carlson felt wronged.


    Sometimes, Suzanne Saunders would wonder, was she being too harsh? As a female prosecutor, Jade Carlson’s performance was already considered good…But as soon as this thought arose, it was immediately quashed!


    What about being a woman?


    If one were to lower expectations because she is a woman, wouldn’t that be equivalent to admitting that women are naturally weaker than men?!


    The standards for bing a prosecutor are consistent, unrted to identity, age, or gender!


    After the third witness appeared in court, Jade Carlson, presumably having had enough of Marcel Jefferson’s “objection,” went straight to the most crucial question.


    “Witness, can you tell us whether you saw a ck car pass by the factory between five-thirty and six o’clock on November 2nd?”


    “No.” The witness replied.


    This witness, Jared Curtis, was the security guard whom Purple Summers and Marcel Jefferson had never met before.


    His hair looked like it hadn’t been trimmed in a long time, appearing unkempt. His bangs almostpletely obscured his eyes, giving him an overall impression of mncholy and istion.


    Jade Carlson said, “Caspian Maple ims he saw Nana Rowe being taken away by a ck car, heading towards Euphony Road. Meanwhile, the witness was at the entrance of a factory on Euphony Road and there was no so-called ck car passing by! This clearly shows that Caspian Maple was lying! If not to cover up his own guilt, why else would Caspian Maple make false statements?!”


    Her impassioned and unhesitating speech seemed to resonate with the jury, easing some of Jade Carlson’s underlying tension.


    No objections came from the spectators.


    She finally managed to regain a little bit of dignity…


    Jade Carlson let out a sigh of relief. Despite some setbacks, she had seeded.


    Now, it was Marcel Jefferson’s turn to question the witness.


    “On November 11th, at around ten-thirty in the morning, a car passed by the factory. Do you remember its color?”


    “Objection!” Jade Carlson stood up, “I object to the defensewyer raising questions irrelevant to this case!”


    “The 11th was the day before yesterday, whereas the 2nd is over a week ago. If the witness cannot even remember the events of the 11th,dies and gentlemen, is his testimony regarding the 2nd credible?” Marcel Jefferson responded with a smile.


    Interestingly, this wasn’t something Purple Summers had taught him, but came from Marcel Jefferson’s own astuteness.


    Jared Curtis replied, “There’s surveince footage at our factory. When the police came to ask questions, I checked the video, so I know that there were no cars passing by that day.”


    The video, they were waiting for the video!


    Suppressing his excitement, Marcel Jefferson turned around and loudly said to the judge, “As you can see, this surveince footage is key to the case!


    However, this crucial piece of evidence is actually a forged video! I earnestly request your honor to allow the yback of evidence rted to the forged video in court!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, the courtroom stirred withmotion.
