Chapter 922
Soon, the day of the trial arrived.
Thanks to Lewis’ influence, not a single respectable lawyer in Weston la dared to take on the task of defending Edmund, no matter how much he was willing to pay.
Larissa had rehea rsed her testimony at home in advance.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she took the witness stand.
She sobbed uncontrollably as she recounted the scary experiences after being kidnapped.
Her emotional testimony moved the jury deeply.
She cried so many times during her testimony that she could barely hold hersell together.
The key witnesses, including Vick, corroborated her account.
The text messages and contracts exchanged between Vick and Edmund were presented as evidence.
Such proof could potentially send Edmund to jail.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, except for a minor hiccup during Wendy’s appearance.
Kevan was concerned about her m ental state.

So, he had coordinated with the prosecutor to place her as the last witness.
Edmund was completely taken by surprise when he saw Wendy in the courtroom.
She had chosen a plain appearance for the day.
She was dressed in all black.
She had no makeup at all.
Her face appeared somewhat pale-a deliberate act to gain sympathy from the jury.
But from Edmund’s perspective, it seemed like she was sympathizing with him.
He thought she was bearing a tremendous burden on his behalf.
After enduring several rounds of accusations, Edmund had almost resigned himself to losing the case.
He expected to spend the next few years behind bars in a foreign country.
However, Wendy’s unexpected appearance offered a glimmer of hope into his bleak outlook.
He looked at her with hope, his eyes seemingly fixated on her..
She raised her head.
She met his gaze confidently.
She even offered him a faint smile.
She provided him with a reassuring expression.
So, the tension that had tightly held his body immediately dissipated.
Wendy recounted the day’s events truthfully, without any embellishments.
“The defendant informed me that he had taken my friend’s son.
“He requested that I accompany him.
“We went to a coffee shop near the mall, but my friend’s son wasn’t present
“I consumed it and I lost consciousness.
“I have no recollection of the events that followed.
“When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a room at the Maple Hotel”
