Chapter 1016 The Real Culprit
At the thought of this, she said between clenched teeth, “Don’t you ever think of framing
me for the incident. It wasn’t me who did it!” Seeing her agitated demeanor, Sofia grew
somewhat hesitant. Could Susan have actually been wronged?
On the other hand, Eunice was alarmed when she noticed the look of hesitation on her
mentor’s face. Crap, she thought to herself before immediately stepping forward to sneer
at Susan. “Don’t forget that you’re also a member of our orchestra and one of our own.
What gives you the right to cry foul here after doing such a shameless thing?”
Upon hearing this, Susan immediately eyed her with a gaze that was both hostile and
slightly frosty. Then, in a flash of revelation, she seemed to have something figured out.
Suddenly, she let out a sneer, saying, “Well, well, I never thought you were so good at
keeping your cards close to your chest!”
Eunice frowned. For some reason, she grew a little uneasy deep down. “I don’t understand
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwhat nonsense you’re talking about. I’d advise you to just plead guilty.” She suppressed
her inner anxiety while looking at Susan haughtily. The instant their eyes met, it was as
though there were real sparks flickering and flying between them.
Susan sneered. “Why should I plead guilty for something that I never did? Miss Eunice, do
you really think I have no idea who the mastermind behind the incident was?” she said,
pausing between each word toward the end of her speech. Eunice, who was already
feeling somewhat unnerved, panicked even more at this moment.
However, Susan forestalled her and spoke before she could say anything. “You love
Tessa’s husband, so you grew jealous of her and wanted to get rid of her to become his
wife. That’s why you plotted the stage incident in an attempt to kill her along with her
baby.
Since I had set her up before, you decided to simply make me a scapegoat for it. However,
even if this case goes to the police, I won’t plead guilty for something that I never
did.” Hearing these words, the others frowned and looked at Eunice with suspicion.
Sensing their gaze upon her, Eunice balled her fists and forced herself to remain calm. All
the evidence points to her at the moment. As long as I don’t admit it, I’ll have nothing to
do with it. At the thought of this, she inhaled secretly before replying with disdain, “Stop
throwing mud at me here! And besides, whether you admit it or not, you’ve been caught
in the act now…”
Looking at the vaguely smug woman before her, Susan curled her lips into a sneer. She
mocked, “What sort of witness testimony is that? He might’ve been bribed by somebody
into framing me for it.” As she spoke, she stared fixedly at Eunice with dark, sinister eyes.
The moment she saw this, Eunice felt as though she were being stared at by a venomous
snake. It sent a chill down her spine, and she felt very guilty and scared, with a feeling
that she’d been seen through.
Susan’s icy and determined voice reached her ears again. “I admit that I drugged Tessa,
but it wasn’t me who plotted the stage incident. Don’t try to pin it on me!”
As soon as she finished her speech, there was a knock on the door to the ward. Then, a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsmart-looking man pushed the door open and came in in a suit and leather shoes.
At the sight of this, Kellen asked with a frown, “Who are you looking for?”
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Albert Potelle, Miss Susan’s attorney.” Albert gave a
simple self-introduction before walking toward Susan right away.
As it turned out, Susan had signaled the nurse to inform her father when Sofia and others
came over. Due to his status, Rorion couldn’t step in personally, so he hired an attorney
for her instead. At any rate, he wouldn’t let his daughter suffer in the slightest.
Although Susan was unaware of these things, she sighed with relief when Albert showed
up. At least I don’t have to face these people alone. In an instant, her back straightened
again. Facing Sofia and others, she said coldly, “Now that my attorney is here, you guys
can talk to him if you want to press charges against me.”
The instant she said that, Albert stepped forward to find out about the situation. After
learning of what had happened, he defended his client with great professionalism, saying,
“As my client said, it’s impossible to have her convicted with the one-sided testimony of
this stage operator alone. So, if you guys want to hold her responsible for the incident,
please produce substantial proof of it.”
