In Court, They Lost More Than the Case Novel

Chapter 11 +25 Bonus Sally started shifting her whole body toward the back of the car, forcefully pressing my upper body toward the front. After the crash, the front half of the car was already hanging over the cliff. With Sally deliberately exerting force on the vehicle, it was sure to fall. In that critical moment, I yanked my trapped hands free and grabbed her arm with all my strength. I was practically latched onto her when she had no choice but to drag me out of the car. But Sally wasn't an idiot either.

The moment she noticed that I had climbed out of the vehicle and that police and ambulance sirens were approaching from afar, she immediately started her performance. She pulled me into her arms to make it look like she was protecting me, so that everyone would believe that she truly was trying to save me. By then, no matter how I tried to explain the truth, no one would believe me if I said that Sally was actually trying to kill me. Hugging me from behind, she leaned toward my ear and whispered, "I purposely made the car in front of you brake, so you'd be forced to take a turn.

And I was also the one who broke your car's braking system." As soon as she finished speaking, a loud explosion went off behind me. By the time I snapped back to my senses, Sally had already been lifted onto a stretcher. Enraged, I rushed over and slapped her hard across the face twice. Bruce and Sean stepped in and held me back, insisting that if not for Sally, my car would've fallen off the cliff. That was when realization hit me. Nothing I said would ever matter to them, especially now that Sally had been injured while " saving" me. The screen eventually went dark.

The crowd gasped, and all eyes shifted to Sally. "Why did she do such a thing?" someone asked without thinking. Looking like fury incarnate, Sally started, "Why, you ask? Why don't you ask Wanda? Why did she have to steal Bruce from me? Why does she get to hog the entire Graham family fortune-" Before she could finish, Bruce struck her across the face. "Shut up! I never imagined this to be the truth..." Sean's eyes turned red. He kicked Sally hard in the stomach, shouting, "You bitch! You were the evil one all along! Because of you, I misunderstood my mom... This is all your fault!

I'm going to kill you!" But Sally shoved him to the ground. "How is it my fault when the both of you are blind? I just wanted to kick Wanda out so I could take her place and seize the Graham family fortune. "Bruce, didn't you say you hated lazy and unambitious women? So to become the woman you love, I sacrificed my back. "Tell me... Am I finally ambitious enough for you to accept me?" "Don't touch me, you lunatic!" Bruce roared. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he suppressed the discomfort in his chest and turned to the judge.

"Your Honor, did we lose our case?" The outcome was obvious-Bruce and Sean had lost. My marriage to Bruce was annulled, and I inherited all the assets from the Graham family. After the trial, the Grahams completely fell apart. 1/2 +20 Bonus When our neighbors learned the truth, they all turned against the Grahams, saying that the family had wasted their time. Every day, Bruce and Sean waited for me downstairs at my office building. "Wanda, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have trusted Sally. Please don't leave me, okay?" "Mom, do you really not want me anymore? I still want to be your child...

I'm so sorry, Mom. I really am..." Looking at how miserable they'd become, I said nothing. I only gave them a cold glance before turning away. Later, I sold off the Graham family's assets and migrated overseas. Everything in my homeland reminded me of the Grahams, and just the sight of anything related to them disgusted me. All I wanted was a quiet and secluded place, where I could live freely for the rest of my life. Six months later, I came across a piece of news from home. It said that the Grahams had lured Sally into their house, where they eventually murdered her.

She died from her injuries, and the Grahams were sent to prison. Before serving their sentence, they begged to see me one last time, hoping I would forgive them in person. Of course, I refused. People who had committed wrongdoings were never worthy of forgiveness.
