"What the hell? Jolene's really saying this? My respect for her just shattered," "A top lawyer saying something this reckless-how embarrassing." "She really threw away her reputation for money," "Used to think she was a role model for women. Guess not." "Just shut up, Jolene. Seriously," "This is supposed to be top-tier legal work?" 81%f +8 Pearls Jolene submitted a surveillance clip to the court.
This footage had never been seen before by anyone present.
It was a small, obscure segment-painstakingly pulled from hours of footage by Jean and Jolene after scouring every detail they could find.
And in this clip-Thomas's license plate flashed across the screen.
Thomas had done a thorough job tampering with the surveillance footage. He'd scrubbed away every trace of himself. But no matter how meticulous the plan- There's always a flaw.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn one frame, buried in the shadows, the car's license plate slipped through.
Barely visible to the naked eye, hidden by the poor lighting. That was probably why Thomas hadn't erased that section-he hadn't noticed it himself.
But Jean had.
She adjusted the lighting, enhanced the exposure-and there it was: a tiny but undeniable clue.
It was the only piece of evidence left showing that Thomas had been anywhere near Tri Street that night.
They'd kept this discovery quiet-until now.
Jolene stood and addressed the court.
"The night of the incident, it wasn't just the defendant and the plaintiff who were at Tri Street. someone else present-a person everyone has overlooked." re was She paused, then gestured toward the footage.
"This license plate belongs to a car registered to Thomas, the son of the Lu family." 1/3 12.29 гn, 9 may Chapter 278 A Flaw in the Plan And with that-chaos erupted.

"Thomas, is this bad?" Selena bit her lip nervously. "Your license plate..." "You don't need to worry." Thomas didn't even flinch. His expression remained neutral, his eyes calm and unfazed.
The footage Jolene presented hadn't been part of his original plan.
But it didn't matter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA license plate flashing across the screen proved nothing. It wouldn't disrupt the outcome.
If Jean and Jolene thought this alone could take him down-they were naïve.
Still... Jean was proving to be more of a nuisance than expected.
She'd sniffed out a single moment of carelessness and sunk her teeth into it.
The livestream chat only grew more frantic. Thomas's ntook over the entire screen.
"Who's Thomas?" "Srich guy. He's kind of famous." "No way-Thomas was there that night too?" "He probably just happened to be driving by. That doesn't mean anything."
"Don't lose focus, guys. Asher's still the main suspect. A license plate isn't proof." "Thomas is rich-he wouldn't stoop to that kind of street crime." "Exactly. Only broke people do stuff like that."
"He was probably just passing through. The guy's got no reason to do something li like this."
"I don't think this license plate proves anything," Sarah's lawyer finally responded, addressing Jolene's submission. "The night of the M incident, we have complete surveillance footage, the plaintiff's testimony, and most importantly-Asher's student ID found at the scene. These are what matter.
A car flashing by on tape doesn't mean Thomas was involved in any way."
