Chapter 583
Yolanda spilled every secret she’d been harboring, and once she’d purged twenty years of pent–up frustration and oppression, she slumped back into her chair, her entire body drenched in sweat.
In that moment, she was consumed with genuine self–reproach and regret.
She despised herself for not revealing the truth for twenty long years!
If only she hadn’t been so greedy back then, if she had had the courage to stand up to Elspeth’s threats and accuse that viper of murder, Cynthia might rest in peace, and she wouldn’t have suffered two decades of a life in turmoil.
She had been foolish beyond belief. Elspeth was just Mr. Abernathy’s mistress back then. Why did she fear a woman so vile?
If only Mr. Abernathy and his wife had reconciled, Elspeth would never have risen to power or remained within the Abernathy family. Even if she had been carrying Mr. Abernathy’s child, her fate would have been nothing more than a forced disappearance, leaving the child behind.
But it was too late for regrets.
The members of the Ashbourne family, present at the hearing, felt as if they had witnessed Thaddeus’s mother’s death with their
own eyes.
The three ladies and Nydia were already tear–stricken, Aaron looked gravely solemn, and even the usually stoic Cassius had a telltale redness rimming his eyes.
He, his brothers, and Evadne, had all lost their mothers at a young age. But compared to Thaddeus, they were fortunate.
The greatest agony wasn’t a mother dying from illness, but dying with eyes wide open, without peace.
“Your Honor, I have several questions for the witness regarding this case,” Cedric said, his eyes dark as he rose to his feet.
Evadne and Thaddeus knew he was bound to cause a commotion, desperate to protect Elspeth for the sake of his future. Despite being prepared, their hearts clenched in anticipation.
Judge Ivan nodded gravely, “Proceed.”
Cedric approached Yolanda, his gaze chilling, “Witness, you’ve accused my client of being the true perpetrator of Elspeth’s murder. Did you actually see my client push her down the stairs with your own eyes? A simple ‘yes‘ or ‘no‘ will suffice. Nothing
more.”
Jason’s brows furrowed in an instant, his fists clenching.
Yolanda could only answer truthfully, “No, I didn’t, but I clearly heard.”
Bang!
