A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

After the judges arrived, the trial began.

The prosecution lawyer stated the case and described the miserable condition of Andy's parents during

this period.

After the plaintiff's lawyer finished his statement, the judges were deep in thought.

The last time when Harold was sentenced to life imprisonment, Andy's mother fainted on the spot.

Under the stage, Andy's parents now looked a lot more haggard than the last time they came to the

court.

The prosecution changed the topic. "In addition, I have a new witness who can prove that Harold is the

real murderer and his means were extremely cruel!"

The murderer with brutal crime means could be sentenced to death according to law.

The lawyer provided the information of the witness. After checking it, one judge said, "Send the

witness."

Then, Susie was brought into the court and stood on the plaintiff.

The judge said, "The plaintiff's witness, please state your testimony."

Susie looked at Harold with hatred.

"Your Honor, it's like this. My name is Susie, and Harold has been pestering me for a long time. He

complained to me many times that the deceased threatened him to pay back the money and he got the

idea of killing Andy for he didn't want to. On the day of the accident two months ago, Harold told me

something strange, so I suspect that he might lay his hands on Andy."

"That's why I went to the deceased's house in advance that day. I wanted to persuade him to leave

quickly. The fact that I went to his house can be proved by the neighbors nearby!"

The clerk beside looked up at the judge.

"Your Honor, when the prosecution mentioned that there was a new witness, we went to the scene to

investigate. The neighbors nearby did meet Ms. Susie that day."

Susie was secretly pleased in her heart.

When she went to Andy's place to find Dick that day, she was seen by a person living in the same

building with Andy, and that one knew her. At that time, she thought that this matter would bring her

trouble, but she did not expect that this would indirectly help her, proving that she could be a witness.

Susie continued, "Despite my persuasion that day, Andy still did not believe that Harold would kill him

and refused to leave. Later, Harold went there. When I saw Harold, I wanted to stop him. Unexpectedly,

Harold ignored me and stabbed Andy. I was so scared that I did not dare to stop him."

As Susie spoke, she crossed her arms with both hands as her body trembled, indicating that she was

really scared at that time.

Audrey narrowed her eyes as she stared at Susie.

Susie was really going all out to frame Harold. It would be a waste if she wasn't going to be an actress.

Susie continued with a trembling voice, "At that time, I saw that Harold cruelly stabbed Andy more than

ten times with a dagger, but Andy didn't die until the final stab. He was in great pain in his last

moments!"

"Your Honor, what I said is true!" Susie looked at Harold with a terrified expression. "Also, the

defendant didn't do anything to me because he liked me. I took advantage of that opportunity to

escape. Later, he called me and said that he would not let me go since I saw him kill Andy. I was really

scared, afraid that he would kill me. Fortunately, you arrested him."

When Susie accused Harold, Harold was expressionless, or ... he had become numb because of

Susie's hypocrisy.

Previously, he only knew that Susie would slander him in court. Now, after he saw her in her true

colors, the last bit of love he had for Susie had been depleted.

He had no more illusions about her.

Audrey suddenly raised her hand.

The judge asked, "The defense lawyer, do you have any problem?"

Audrey stood up and walked near Susie.

Susie felt a burst of panic at the sight of Audrey walking towards her. Nameless pressure overwhelmed

her when she was before Audrey, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Witness, can I ask you a few questions?"

Susie calmly looked at Audrey. "Okay."

"Well, what I want to ask is that you just said that the defendant had killed the victim in the last strike,

right?"

"Yes!"

"However, I have an autopsy report from a medical examiner. It is said that the victim was dead when

he was stabbed the first time. There are no signs of struggling at the scene, so ... it is not as you said.

The victim didn't die under torture!"

Susie thought in panic,

'Why don't I remember the autopsy report? Dick didn't tell me this and I'm screwed.'

"Then ... I might have remembered wrongly," Susie stuttered.

"Oh, wrong? Then let me ask you again, did my client call you before Andy died, or after that?"

"Of course it's after that because he called me later to threaten me!" Susie said confidently.

Audrey revealed a mocking smile.

With a teammate like that, who needed enemies?

Susie came to be a witness on the spur of the moment, so there were many things that she did not fully

understand. She thought that as long as she framed Harold, he would be proved guilty.

Audrey held two pieces of paper on her table.

"Your Honor, I have two files here. One is the call record of my client from the Telecom Department. It

records when Harold made the call and the time of death of the deceased identified by the forensic

expert."

After Audrey submitted the evidence to the judge, she smilingly turned to look at Susie.

"Susie, you insisted that after Andy died, Harold called you to threaten you. In the information I got, he

did call you and only once. According to the time of death identified by the expert, Harold called you

half an hour before the time, not after that!"

Susie widened her eyes with trepidation.

"Then, I might have remembered wrongly. The murderer called me half an hour before Andy died..."

With a smile on her face, Audrey continued, "Then I have a question. If Harold called you half an hour

earlier, and according to you, at that time he had not killed Andy, how could he have foreseen that you

would appear at the scene and threatened to kill you?"
