Chapter 577
In the thick tension of anticipation, the day of the trial finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Alva slipped into her crisply ironed new dress and carried a large bouquet of fresh lilies to the cemetery.
She laid the flowers before Cynthia’s headstone and sat cross–legged on the ground, setting up an iPad in front of her displaying the gentle smile of the departed woman.
“Dear lady, your darling son and his wife are off to seek justice for you today. That witch Elspeth, struck by lightning, is finally going to get her comeuppance.”
Alva wiped away at Cynthia’s digital portrait, her eyes brimming with tears, “After the trial, the kids will come to visit you. Until then, let me keep you company as we witness this together.”
A breeze scented with the fragrance of lilies swept past, as if in silent response.
The case of Elspeth, though filed for a closed hearing, was rejected by the court for insufficient grounds and moved to a public trial.
The Abernathy Group’s reputation was substantial, and Elspeth’s status unique. But the sheer scandal her case caused in society, and the lack of criteria for a closed hearing, led the authorities to choose the path of a normal procedure to protect their standing from public outcry.
Early in the day, the courthouse was swamped with media, reporters broadcasting live, and the anticipation was palpable.
Then, a black sedan raced up, stopping a few steps from the entrance.
Cedric, unseen in ages, emerged in a sharp suit, capturing the attention of every reporter who surged forward.
“Mr. Cedric! Representing the Abernathy Group in defense of Mrs. Elspeth, what are your chances of winning this case?*
Cedric offered a smug smile, “I’ve yet to lose a case.”
His confidence seemed to forget the numerous defeats he had suffered at the hands of Evadne and Thaddeus.
“But previously, Mrs. Elspeth was detained for drug possession, and despite your representation, you couldn’t bail her out. Does this mean you’re already at a disadvantage with Elspeth’s case?”
Cedric’s smile froze, his fist clenched in his pocket.
His assistant quickly interjected, “Ladies and gentlemen, while we represent Elspeth on behalf of the Abernathy Group, by the time we took over, the evidence was irrefutable, and there was nothing we could do…”
“So you’re saying if Elspeth had found Cedric sooner, even if she really was guilty of drug possession, Cedric could’ve gotten her off the hook?” One reporter’s disdain for Cedric was thinly veiled, his question sharp.
