Although Justin had listened to Emily's testimony countless times privately, the excruciating pain in his heart always felt like the first the heard it.
"Fentanyl is a type of analgesic drug banned in the country. It could be fatal with even a slight overdose." Bella's reddened eyes welled up with hateful tears. Her mother had also passed away, so she could fully understand Justin's pain.

At the stime, the comments on the court's official website's livestream were flooding in. The viewers, shares, and comments had broken the highest record on the website.
[Shannon has more lives on her hands?! Is she a conglomerate chairman's wife or a bloodthirsty demon?!] [So Justin is not an illegitimate child! His mother married into the Salvador family after Chairman Salvador's first wife passed away, while Shannon is merely a mistress who got in through her pregnancy! The illegitimate children should be Shannon's kids!] [What a shameless bitch! She poisoned Mr. Salvador's mother to gain an official title! Her heart is so dirty that even animals would refuse to eat it!] [Shannon has two daughters. Carrie was born after Shannon married Gregory, so Bethany is an undisputable bastard child! How can she be so arrogant with that dishonorable background? If it were me, I wouldn't be able to hold my head up high forever!] At this moment, Bethany paced back and forth anxiously in the court's washroom, smoking while she browsed through the comments online.
Seeing that she was suffering from a horrendous wave of attacks online because of her mother, while Carrie remained untouched, her eyes bulged with hatred. She had perfectly inherited Shannon's crazy tendencies, as she screamed in the empty washroom.
In the court, Shannon also pointed at Emily and screamed, in sync with her daughter. "Emily! You're spewing nonsense! I've never poisoned Mary! I've never ordered you to swap her medication! She died from depression, jumping off the building because she couldn't cope! It has nothing to do with me! "How much did you take from them... What did they promise you? Doing everything they could to catch you, someone who never showed your face in Savrow for twenty years, asking you to slanderat this point?!" When she said this, Shannon's vicious gaze kept staring at Justin, as if she were about to rush out of the cage and lunge at him. Emily chose Justin's side not only because she was afraid of his power. She had been secretly monitored and controlled by Shannon for twenty years, and she had enough of it. She hysterically exposed her encounter.
"If I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning! Everything I said is true! You were afraid that I'd rat you out, so you forcedto resign and leave Tideview Manor. Even so, you were not assured. You sentto the secluded small town in о Richmond and sent your men to constantly monitor and threatenover the past twenty years! I lived under your control every day. "What difference does it have from being in jail? I was born and raised in Savrow but could only spend the latter half of my life in that remote Richmond town... I've been suffering and enduring it all because of you!" Emily's heartfelt experience made it difficult for people to doubt her.

e "Back then, you sneaked into Mrs. Salvador's room to swap her pills, but you were caught red-handed by her. I was hiding by the staircase and saw everything! Because of this, you threatened and blackmailed me, saying that if I dare to sp I the troth, you will make my family vanish from Savrow!" Gregory's ears buzzed. The image of Shannon gradually twisted and distorted in his vision, almost unrecognizable.
He only thought about how horrifying everything was. This had happened in his home, but he only found out now.
"At that time... I clearly heard a heavy thud coming from Mrs. Salvador's room. You had a fierce argument..." In the end, Emily burst into tears. “Then... Then Mrs. Salvador fell, and you ran away from her room in a panic. If you didn't kill Mrs. Salvador, who else did?!" "Nonsense! This is all nonsense! She jumped herself! I'm more of a witness than you! I watched her jump on her own with my eyes!" Shannon's eyes flashed with a vicious glint, but she still had not lost her mind completely. She knew there was no evidence after so many years. As long as she denied it, the truth of that case would never cto light.
After listening to Emily's testimony, Hunter quickly grasped the situation.
At this point, he was on the sship as Shannon, so no matter what, he could not let it sink.
