Chapter 334

Just as the tension in the courtroom reached its peak, the jurors, after a thorough discussion, turned their gaze solemnly towards Whitney. "Plaintiff, defendant, the evidence presented by both parties is comprehensive. If you fail to produce any further evidence to prove Keegan's innocence, the judgment will stand as is. Moreover, you, Whitney, will be charged with contempt of court, obstruction of justice, and defamation," they declared with grave finality. Ludwik, standing at the back, froze momentarily, his expression darkening.

Seeing their counterattack succeed, Zane and Delphine couldn't hide their smug smiles. Zane, adjusting his designer suit, was just about to make his grand exit from the courtroom, convinced of their victory. This trial was supposed to be Whitney's downfall.

But in that instant, the courtroom doors burst open, letting in a beam of light.

Whitney, pale as a ghost, held her breath and turned sharply towards the door.

"Hold on!" Tiana, flanked by two police officers, shouted as she made her appearance.

The officers, blocking the source of light as they entered, brought someone with them into the center of the courtroom.

"Our witness, Jaxon, has arrived with crucial evidence!" Tiana yelled, her voice hoarse with urgency.

The room fell silent.

Zane, caught mid-exit, was too stunned to react.

Delphine's elegant composure faltered visibly.

Elaine, sitting next to Ludwik, could only stare in disbelief. What?

Kelvin, unable to contain his excitement, stood up. "Your Honor, in light of new evidence presented by our side, we request a moment for our key witness, Jaxon, to testify!"

Ludwik squinted, visibly taken aback.

Jaxon's supposed suicide on his fifth day in custody was something Ludwik had heard about.
