Wooing My Ex-Wife

Gwendolyn slid the note back into her pocket and looked down without saying a word.

At the defendant’s table, Kylie didn’t seem to be in good spirits.

When the clueless audience caught the sorrowful expression on her face, they lamented the nobility of her motherly love and kindness for her adopted son.

In contrast, Gwendolyn wore a mask of indifference.

Despite her beauty, they accused her of being cold-hearted and thought she deserved to be put on the stand if she did commit murder.

The oblivious people at the public gallery had already made up their minds and were in favor of Kylie before the trial even started.

“Mr. Vidar Lund was extradited via an international arrest warrant.

His crimes, if any, should’ve been judged through a trial by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Meanwhile, the defendant, Gwendolyn Shalders Harris, murdered Mr. Vidar Lund on their wedding day and hid his body.

Until this day, his body is nowhere to be found.

Your Honor, we demand a heavier sentence for the defendant for conducting such psychotic deeds!” Gwendolyn was spacing out when she heard Kylie’s lawyer mention her name.

Something the lawyer said had caught her attention.

Charles’ body is missing? How can that be? I heard Cedrick ordered his men to send Charles’ body to the Newtons in Chanaea.

Do the Newtons hate me so much that they collude with Her Highness and hide Charles’ body to ruin me? Gwendolyn’s mind was a jumbled mess of speculations and theories.

“Your Honor, the defendant has something to say against the plaintiff’s complaint.

” Jared raised his hand and spoke before he turned to Gwendolyn.

“Ms. Harris, don’t be afraid.

Tell the court what happened at Flola Grand Cathedral on the wedding day.

” The Harris family’s legal team had had it all planned out.

They would present the proof of Nico’s injury and other evidence to the court once Gwendolyn read the note.

At that moment, all eyes in the room were concentrated on Gwendolyn.

No one knew what she was thinking.

“Ms. Harris, it’s your turn to speak,” Jared reminded her, pulling her out of her thought.
