"Ugh, the redemption arc is too simple." $ 78%Ė Finished As soon as Edgar finished his testimony, the male lawyer seated next to Sarah couldn't wait to jump in. His eyes were sharp and cold as he stared at Edgar, firing off aggressively, "This young man claims to be a witness, but can he provide proof that he was actually present that night?" "From start to finish, this is all just your one-sided story. There's no actual evidence. If you made all this up, it wouldn't be surprising at all." "And even if you were there that night, can you prove you actually saw both Thomas and Sarah? Not someone else?" "Because your bias is way too obvious. Without solid evidence, there's no way your testimony will convince anyone." His clear and methodical argument instantly struck a chord with everyone in the room-and all the viewers watching the livestream.
That's right! Even if Edgar didn't seem like he was lying, he was still just a teenager running his mouth. Whatever he said, people were supposed to just take it at face value? That he saw who he said he saw? It didn't hold water. Not without actual proof.
Jean sat in her seat, one eyebrow subtly raised as her gaze floated toward Sarah's lawyer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat lawyer really was Thomas's loyal mutt.
Even now, he was still defending Thomas to the bitter end, ignoring the facts and trying to shift the blame. Jean's lips curled slightly, a cold glint flashing from the corner of her eyes.
Good thing she cprepared.
"He does have proof that he was there that night." It wasn't Edgar who spoke again, but Jolene, who smiled as she stepped forward.
She promptly submitted a new piece of surveillance footage to the judge.
No one except Jean and Jolene had seen this footage before.

Were the earlier recordings incomplete?" 78% Finished Following the license plate footage, Jolene submitted yet another recording, this one from a different angle. Though the lighting was dim, the brightness and clarity had been adjusted in post-production. Everyone could clearly see a thin, frail-looking boy curled up on a bench along Tri Street, He sat frozen, like he was lost in thought, until eventually, he slowly stood up.
Only then did everyone get a good look at his figure and face- It was Edgar!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe timestamp on the footage matched the night of the incident exactly. Everything lined up. Jean watched with a blank expression, her hand absentmindedly propping up her chin.
This footage cfrom the dusty old surveillance camera outside that eTX rundown.convenience store. It had slipped through the cracks-one that Thomas hadn't managed to tamper with.
Jean remembered combing through the store's recordings and, after al long search in the dark, finally spotted Edgar huddled in a corner. Later, she adjusted the brightness and clarity and discovered even more- Like how Edgar stood up at the very end, facing the camera just enough to reveal his face.
It was undeniable proof that he'd been there.
"Damn, he really was there that night?" "I compared it-it's definitely him. He was at Tri Street that night." "But what if the video's fake?" "Con, not everything is fake. That's clearly real surveillance footage." 300
