Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 900

Emelie took her mother's hand. She held up her dress and walked up the illuminated steps to the stage, where all eyes were on her.

She calmly addressed the crowd: "My mother has said everything that needs to be said. I won't keep you long. I just want to announce that I will be returning to Cedonia to formally reopen the Xander case. After 28 years, it's time to bring this story to a close."

Her brief statement, combined with her resolute demeanor, convinced everyone that she was determined to seek justice, no matter what.

Wesley was the first to clap, though he was standing in a corner where no one could see him. Hence, no one knew it was him.

Soon, applause spread throughout the grand hall, growing louder until it was thunderous.

The applause could be for many reasons: support from friends and family, appreciation for the dramatic story, or simply joining in the crowd's enthusiasm.

It didn't matter whether it was mocking them or out of goodwill. A major news story was about to break that night, prompting the reinvestigation of a case from 28 years ago.

In a corner, Elias sipped his drink. "I thought Ms. Pierce would take the stage herself."

Jayden replied, "She isn't a direct witness to the Xander case. Yennifer is. Ms. Pierce would only be speaking from a third-party perspective, which wouldn't engage the audience as strongly. Yennifer, on the other hand, can not only clarify the events but also make them compelling."

Otherwise, there might be doubts like, "You were so young back then. How could you know about these events? Where did you hear this from? Are you trying to use storytelling to interfere with justice just like the four families used public opinion to influence the courts?"

With Yennifer speaking, there would be no such doubts. After all, she was the victim and the plaintiff.
