Chapter 182 The Witness’s Testimony

“Witness?”

Why are you being so disappointing that your emotion fluctuates?

It’s just that after Wallis has committed suicide and the second mistress has met the dead body, she felt that it’s unfair to the deceased therefore she told others regarding what she has witnessed. She said she has heard Wallis’s shrieks when she witnessed the process.” She then glanced at Grace with a careful look before she continued. “Wallis was
