Chapter 579
The courtroom was a stage, and every soul within its walls, save for the actors Frederic had arranged, glared at Elspeth with eyes filled with loathing and condemnation.
Even Glynnis looked upon Elspeth, the mother who had plotted her downfall with contempt and disgust.
Elspeth had come prepared for this trial. She had requested a bathroom break before proceedings to ‘touch up‘ her makeup, ensuring she appeared as a pale and haggard woman tortured by life’s cruel hand. Her innocent facade was so convincing, it was as if she had been born for this role.
Frederic, catching Elspeth’s pitiful, pleading gaze, was momentarily transported back to the days of their early acquaintance. His heart, once sealed in concrete, cracked open once more.
“You witch. You will pay for Erica’s life with your own! I demand justice!” Erica’s grandmother could not contain her fury upon seeing Elspeth, her voice trembling with rage and sorrow, a sight that could soften the hardest of hearts.
Elspeth, with tears brimming in her eyes, shook her head helplessly, looking every bit the innocent victim she pretended to be.
This was a public trial, every moment captured on camera, the courtroom no less than a theater.
And she, she was still the star of the show!
Before the trial, Cedric had sworn to her that the charge of hiring a hitman would not stand. Her only task was to play her part in this carefully orchestrated drama.
“Madam, please, calm down! Just breathe,” Jason urged, rushing to Erica’s grandmother’s side as she turned pale and began to convulse. Evadne stood up, calling for oxygen, “Someone get an oxygen tank quickly! She’s going into shock!”
The officers scrambled to assist, and only after the elderly woman was given oxygen did she begin to stabilize.
The judge, Ivan Dempsey, robed in black, took his seat, his heart heavy at the sight of his siblings entangled in this public spectacle.
“Oh no, the judge is a Dempsey!” Aviana shook Suri frantically, nearly making her sick, “Suri, will he throw Jason under the bus? Are there any good apples in the Dempsey family? I have my doubts!”
Suri patted her hand reassuringly, “Ivan’s record is clean. He’s made it on his own merit, without much influence from his father. I believe he’ll be fair.”
The momentous trial began.
