Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Court Session

Translator: 549690339

When Marcel Jefferson and Purple Summers entered the courtroom, the spectator seats were already packed with people and there were countless cameras set up.

Marcel Jefferson clicked his tongue, “It’s quite lively today.”

Not only had the local news media from Clearwater City come for the public hearing of the serial murder case, but even several well-known TV stations from other states had sent people as well.

At this moment, Jade Carlson entered the courtroom. Her face was rosy and radiant, and although she tried to restrain herself, she couldn’t hide the sense of complacency in her eyes.

As she walked past the defense, Jade Carlson saw Purple Summers sitting next to Marcel Jefferson in the capacity of a paralegal.

Jade Carlson’s facial expression stiffened for a moment, utterly shocked.

She had suffered at the hands of Purple Summers before, but she had thought it was because she had underestimated a child. Now, how could Purple Summers even dare to sit in this courtroom!

Where did Purple Summers get her confidence?!

Could it be that Henry Jameson’s case was really overturned by Purple Summers?!

The moment Jade Carlson thought of the Goddess of Justice statue, she found it unbearable, promptly walking to her seat, her face cold and grim.

Today was the day she would become famous from a single case; she shouldn’t let such a small matter affect her mood. Jade Carlson sat at the prosecutor’s seat, quietly adjusting her state of mind. However, for some reason, the presence of Purple Summers always made her feel uneasy.

The judge announced the commencement of the court session.

The first witness was the Rowe family’s nanny.

First, the public prosecutor questioned her.

Crying, the Rowe family’s nanny said, “The madam instructed me to pick up Nana at four-thirty every afternoon. Nana said she forgot her handiwork assignment and asked me to go into the kindergarten to look for it. I went… I never thought that when I came out of the kindergarten, Nana would have been kidnapped by that heartless person!”

As Marcel Jefferson listened attentively, Purple Summers nudged him with her elbow.

Marcel Jefferson: “???”

Purple Summers pushed the laptop over, and the document on the screen had a line of text written.

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately raised his voice to say, “Objection!”

The very abrupt objection interrupted Jade Carlson’s questioning; the courtroom fell silent, and everyone looked at Marcel Jefferson-

“I object to the prosecution’s pointless questioning!” Marcel Jefferson straightened his tie and stood up from his seat, “Witnesses for the prosecution have neither seen my client take Nana Rowe with their own eyes nor heard Nana’s cries directly. This has no connection to the case at all! The prosecutor’s questioning is nothing but a waste of time!”

Jade Carlson’s face alternated between shades of red and white.

Today’s court hearing had been carefully designed by her, with each step intended to make everyone admire her. However, the very first witness was called to a halt by the defense!

Marcel Jefferson spoke righteously to the judge, “The prosecution only wants to prove that Nana was taken away by my client. Submitting surveillance footage would be more direct, and the current line of questioning offers no help to the case! It’s just wasting everyone’s time!”

His words were sharp, pointing out that Jade Carlson was wasting time.

Jade Carlson felt a surge of anger in her heart!

Of course she knew that the video evidence was more persuasive, but if it were presented like that, wouldn’t the case end immediately?! How could she show off her prowess then?

However, the judge agreed with Marcel Jefferson, finding his argument very reasonable, and asked Jade Carlson, “Prosecutor, do you need to provide more persuasive evidence or witnesses?”

Could Jade Carlson say “no?”

With so many reporters present, she couldn’t let people think she was powerless to fight back!

The other party was nothing but a third-rate lawyer…

Jade Carlson’s gaze swept past Purple Summers sitting beside Marcel Jefferson.

… and an adopted daughter who couldn’t make an appearance.

“The prosecution requests the testimony of the second witness.” Jade Carlson said coldly, her head held high.

– Bang!

The gavel struck.

“Please call the second witness to testify.”
