The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge
Chapter 1478

"Yes, Your Honor."

Steven did not lose his composure. He recollected himself and looked toward Bella and Justin's direction with an ambiguous gaze.

The couple had serious expressions, nodding to him slightly.

Steven pursed his lips, staring at Shannon with a sharp gaze. "Ms. Shannon, you insisted that you've never killed anyone. Let me ask you again. Is everything you said true? This is your last chance to confess."

Hunter laughed when he heard it, scrutinizing Steven disdainfully.

Steven was like a monkey challenging him, asking such a foolish question in court. Only an idiot would admit to killing someone.

"No... I don't even dare to kill a chicken. How could I possibly murder someone?!"

Shannon's mind spun quickly, thinking about how she only ordered others to do her dirty work throughout the years. With her noble status, how could she possibly soil her own hands? So, she replied firmly, "No matter how many times you ask, my answer is the same. Never!"

"Okay."

Steven no longer looked at her, turning to face the judge seriously. "Your Honor, I'd like to summon a new witness to the stand concerning this case."

As his voice fell, the crowd erupted in whispers.

Shannon's heart tightened, and she quickly looked at Hunter with an anxious and panicked gaze.

Hunter was also confused, not knowing what tricks Steven had up his sleeve, but he had countless court trial experiences and encountered numerous tricky challenges. He was confident that he could handle whatever came his way.

Clarence nodded sternly. "Summon the new witness."

At this moment, the heavy door swung open.

Walking into the crowd's view was a gray-haired, haggard, and plainly dressed old woman.

However, this ordinary woman made Shannon feel thunderstruck, so afraid that her insides twisted in terror.

Shannon's legs gave out, and she crashed against the iron railing of the defendant's stand. If her trembling fingers did not hold onto the railing tightly, she might not even have the strength to stand!

It was that maid who changed her identity and hid in Richmond! Why did the maid appear at this place? Shannon had sent someone to watch her year after year. Even when Shannon was jailed, Bethany helped her handle things. How could she have been caught and brought to testify?!

It must be a ruse. This woman must be an actress hired by Steven!

Shannon suddenly thought of something. Her ferocious and bloodshot eyes turned toward Justin.

Coincidentally, Justin's bottomless gaze was watching her, as cold and sharp as daggers, seemingly able to slice her throat at any moment.

Immediately, everything clicked in Shannon's mind.

It turned out that Justin had secretly taken control of the maid and forced her to side with him. He discreetly eliminated everyone Shannon had sent to spy on the maid.

Such decisiveness and cunning malice were indeed what Justin was capable of.
