“The money went through many hands, getting transferred around the accounts of the suspect’s friends and family. That goes to show how much thought went into the devious scheme. We can also ascertain that the money didn’t come from the defendant’s account but from an ordinary, forty-something housewife who had contact with Ms. Sherrock recently,” the defense attorney said unhurriedly. He rested his piercing gaze on Olivine for a brief moment.

A sullen look appeared on her delicate face. However, looking around and observing the many pairs of eyes on her, she forced herself to maintain her composure.

“I hope that the defendant’s attorney minds his words. Everything has to be supported by evidence. If one merely makes baseless accusations based on speculation, what can that prove?”

The defense attorney sneered. “Justice will prevail. That’s the end of my argument.”

The court’s final ruling was that Angeline was found not guilty and could be released immediately.

Nancy hurried over and hugged Angeline. The latter leaned her head against Nancy’s shoulder, finally finding a release for the grievances she had suffered for many days.

“Thank you,” she choked out tearfully, her eyes reddened.

Nancy could not help chuckling in her ear. “The person you should thank isn’t me.”

Realization seemed to dawn on Angeline when she heard those words, and her expression gradually turned grim.

Evander, Olivine, and Valerie walked over from where they had been sitting.

Feeling a confidence boost after winning the lawsuit, Angeline looked back at him calmly. Then, emphasizing every word clearly, she said, “I told you I’d surely win, Mr. Golding.”

“So, should I apologize?” Evander asked without responding to her remark, slowly walking toward her. He was so tall that he could easily loom over her.

His naturally imposing aura still sparked fear in her heart. She swallowed hard, then replied evenly, “I only wanted to ask that you refrain from using the threat of blacklisting me to try and pressure me again next time.”

She speaks in such an arrogant manner. Frankly, I don’t think even Golding Group’s higher-ups would dare take that tone with me.
