BXBX NOVEL Chapter 313: Beware of Her
Purple Summers had a certain understanding of Jade Carlson.
Setting aside her work ability, speaking of Jade as a person, she was actually very resilient – when it came to something she wanted, she would stop at nothing to obtain it.
She was calculating and strategic, and with great effort, she became a prosecutor and was about to receive Mayor Carlson’s approval. However, her efforts fell short because of Purple Summers.
Did she hold a grudge and intend to sabotage the lawsuit?
Purple Summers thought the possibility was very high…
The group entered the courtroom and sat down.
Marcel Jefferson noticed Purple Summers in deep thought and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”
Purple Summers snapped back to reality and asked, “Are you ready?”
“I’m ready.” Marcel Jefferson nodded. “I reviewed the questions I want to ask and how to present them last night. All that’s left is the forensic report.” “Hasn’t the report come out yet?” Purple Summers sensed something was off. “It will be here soon. The report is on its way. I asked Larissa Hamilton to wait by the door. This is the fastest it has ever been. In the past, we had to wait at least a week for those forensic agencies.” Marcel said.
Purple Summers glanced at the prosecutor’s seat.
Jade Carlson sat upright next to Allen Rivera, calmly arranging the materials for the upcoming court session.
Purple Summers was suspicious: would Jade Carlson make a move?
“Send a message to Larissa, asking her to be careful.” Purple Summers told Marcel Jefferson.
“… Oh, okay.” Marcel Jefferson took out his phone, knowing that it was crucial to be cautious with key evidence.
At this moment, the court hearing officially began.
Since the last key point was whether Robin Harper’s testimony was credible, the prosecutor started the proceedings.
Allen Rivera presented the weather satellite cloud map of the day of the crime to the judge and jury, confirming that it was indeed cloudy in Clearwater City that day. However, according to the cloud coverage and the sunlight’s angle at seven o’clock in the morning, the possibility of Robin Harper being able to see into the apartment across from him was extremely low.
The judge greatly appreciated Prosecutor Allen Rivera’s thoroughness and declared that Robin Harper’s testimony held no reference value.
Purple Summers deliberately observed Jade Carlson’s expression, noticing a faint, barely-there smile, her eyes seeming to be elsewhere and not focused on the court hearing.
Purple Summers frowned: What exactly did Jade want to do?
At this point, the judge asked, “Does the prosecutor need to interrogate anyone further?”
“Yes, we would like to question the defendant, Gerald Graves,” Allen Rivera replied.
Marcel Jefferson was suddenly nervous: “He wants to question Gerald!” Gerald’s misbehavior was well known to everyone! Alexander Summers had a poor reputation outside, but it was just idleness and womanizing. However, Gerald was truly depraved and sick! It was said that every woman he had been with in the past ended up with diseases.
If Gerald’s reply stirred up anger, the jury might declare him guilty out of indignation!
“Don’t panic; let’s wait and see,” Purple Summers reassured him.
“Alright.” Marcel Jefferson took a deep breath, comforting himself, “It’s no problem. As long as the forensic report arrives, we can prove that there was someone else behind the crime.”
Purple Summers remained silent, feeling an ominous premonition…
Allen Rivera questioned Gerald, who was in the defendant’s seat: “Please describe what you and the deceased, Delilah White, did in her apartment on the night of the crime.”
Gerald’s attitude was arrogant and frivolous, replying, “We made love.”
The crowd was in an uproar.
Allen Rivera’s expression remained unchanged, asking again, “Please describe the process in detail. What did you do to Miss Delilah White?”
