Chapter 585

“No, it’s not. It’s NOT!”

Elspeth rattled the bars of her holding cell with a metallic clang, still struggling desperately as she roared at Arnold with a snarl, “Arnold! How dare you con me with fake evidence! As a district attorney, to present falsified evidence in court! You’re abusing your power! This is misconduct! Your so–called evidence is worthless!”

Arnold looked at her with an expression full of irony, showing not a trace of fear.

Indeed, becoming a paragon of justice had always been his life’s ambition, and he had risked his career by using the phony evidence against Elspeth.

But he didn’t regret it for a second.

Even if the wronged party wasn’t Evadne’s beloved, even if the victim wasn’t Thaddeus’s mother, he would have done it anyway. His duty wasn’t just to follow the procedures of the law but to embody the light of justice, breaking through the darkness at any

cost!

“You say the evidence is fake, and you’re right. This bottle isn’t the original one, and it doesn’t have your fingerprints. But you confessed to the murder, you admitted to pushing the victim down the stairs. These are the unshakeable truths! If you weren’t guilty, no matter how I baited you, you’d never have confessed to all this! Elspeth, you killed someone with your own hands twenty years ago, and now as a tycoon’s wife, you think you can just hire someone else to do your dirty work. You may not get the death sentence this time, but justice has a long reach, and today you’ll pay for the blood debt of two decades ago!”

Each word Arnold spoke weighed heavy in the hearts of all who heard him.

The courtroom fell silent, the reporters outside fell silent, even the live stream on the court’s official website paused in silence. And in that silence, a piercing screech from the courtroom’s speakers suddenly broke the quiet-
