When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 289 I Have Something To Say

She once again presented to the court all the testimonies regarding the downfall of the relationship between Cecilia and Nathaniel, as well as how Nathaniel was emotionally abusive.

Just as the judge was about to pass the verdict, without any new evidence or testimony, suddenly, Cecilia stood up and said, “I have something to say.”

The judge looked at her, signaling for her to speak.

Cecilia glanced at Nathaniel, then turned to the crowd and confessed, “I’ve been unfaithful.”

Everyone present fell silent in an instant.
