"N-No...No! That's not true!!"

Shannon rattled in the iron cage, desperately struggling, and she roared ferociously at Axel, "Axel Thompson! How dare you trick me with fabricated evidence?! As a prosecutor, how could you present fabricated evidence in court?! This is an abuse of power! This is a breach of the law! Your evidence is invalid!"

Axel looked at her with mocking eyes, showing not a trace of fear.

Indeed, becoming a righteous prosecutor had been his lifelong aspiration. However, although using fabricated evidence came with the risk of suspension, he had no regrets.

Even if the person seeking justice were not Bella's beloved, even if the victim was not Justin's mother, he would still have done it without hesitation.

His duty was not just to follow the procedures but to become a beacon of justice, breaking through the overwhelming darkness at any cost.

"Well, if you claim the evidence is fake, you're right. This bottle isn't the original one, and it doesn't have your fingerprints. However, you confessed to the murder yourself and admitted to pushing the victim down the stairs. These are undeniable facts! If you had nothing to hide, no matter what evidence I presented or how I tricked you, you wouldn't have revealed everything!

"Shannon, you killed someone twenty years ago. And now, as the wife of a tycoon, you can have others do your dirty work, like hiring a hitman. While you may not get the death penalty for committing this crime, the long arm of the law will catch up with you. Today, you must pay for what you did twenty years ago!"

Every word Axel spoke left a deep, heavy impact on everyone's hearts.

The spectators went silent, the reporters outside the courtroom were quiet, and even the comment section of the live stream on the court's official website fell silent.

Yet, this silence was deafening.

Just then, a piercing noise came from the speakers on both sides of the courtroom ceiling.

Then, the recording Linny had risked her life to record began to play openly for all to hear.

The recording played only the most crucial parts, and everyone instantly recognized Shannon's voice. However, apart from the Salvadors and Bella, no one could immediately identify the other voice, which belonged to Bethany.
