Chapter 578
Blood so red it was terrifying!
The image of Cynthia’s horrific death flashed across Elspeth’s mind, and she suddenly let out a piercing ring in her ears, as if she were drowning, her body drenched in cold sweat, her lips pale and trembling incessantly.
“Elspeth? Elspeth, are you alright?” Cedric, clearly sensing something was amiss, asked in surprise.
“It’s nothing.” Elspeth’s handcuffed hands curled tightly under the table, fiercely cutting off the mental images.
“Elspeth, you haven’t answered my question.”
Cedric pressed again, “You need to come clean with me right now. Is this the only life you’ve taken? It’s vital for your defense in court, for upholding your reputation. You’re aware that on the surface it’s just the death of a maid, but Thaddeus and Evadne are clearly using this as a leverage to corner you, to ensure you can’t recover. They will dig deep into your past and could present any kind of evidence against you in court, it’s unpredictable.”
Elspeth still quivered uncontrollably, biting her lip.
“I’m asking you these questions with no ulterior motive, only to have a better chance of winning in court. You must be completely honest and trust me, we need to work together fully. Only if I know everything about you can I stand undefeated in the courtroom.” Elspeth let out a laugh that made one’s skin crawl, “Mr. Cedric, are you really trying to help me, or are you just looking out for your own golden reputation?”
Cedric didn’t like being questioned this way, but due to her status as Mrs–Abernathy, he had to play along, “Of course, helping you get acquitted is far more important than any undefeated streak.”
“Forget it, I don’t trust any of you lawyers!”
Anxious, Elspeth shook her legs like she was having a seizure, “If I tell you, you’ll just have another weapon to threaten me with later. I’ve seen enough of these dirty tricks, don’t think you can fool me!”
Cedric frowned and asked, “Are you suggesting that there is truth to this?”
“No! I haven’t killed anyone! Never have I ever! Don’t you dare slander me!” Elspeth screamed, her emotions boiling over as she stood up like a madwoman.
“Alright, alright, if you say no, then that’s good.” Cedric leaned back, wary of her lunging at him.
The courtroom was packed.
Though the trial was publically broadcasted on the court’s website, to avoid any disturbances from uninvited guests, Frederic booked all the available seats for spectators, filling them with allies from the Abernathy Group and his legal network.
For today’s trial, besides Frederic, the long–absent Glynnis had also been summoned.
