The courtroom erupted in an uproar of shock.

The blood immediately drained from Gregory's face, and he abruptly stood up as if a fire had started in his seat, staring incredulously at Shannon.

Mary... Did she not commit suicide due to severe depression? How did it become murder?

How could the murderer be Shannon, the woman who slept beside him for twenty years?

"I... I didn't... I didn't!" Shannon gazed at Gregory, shaking her head as she cried.

Justin slowly moved his icy gaze to Gregory's pale-white face, uncontrollably letting out a bone-chilling laugh from the depths of his heart, full of bitter hate.

Even at this moment, Justin did not see any sorrow for his mother on Gregory's face. Instead, Gregory held more doubt and suspicion.

Steven had caught him off guard. He had never encountered such a situation in the years he was on the field. It started as a hiring-for-murder case, so how did it involve Justin's mother?
