Chapter 1612 Suspected of Murder
Megan's current appearance is truly terrifying; her cheeks have sunken in on both sides, and even her nose has collapsed.
Megan thought Landon was hypnotized by her and that he still loved her unconditionally.
During the trial period, Megan acted like a madwoman every day, cursing and throwing things.
She couldn't accept her current ugly appearance, nor could she accept that her legs were completely paralyzed.
Finally, on the day of the trial, Landon found an excuse not to go.
Megan was pushed there by someone, and she ran into Michael in front of the courthouse.
Megan and Michael, who had recently divorced, met, and Megan immediately started cursing at Michael, "Michael, you will die a horrible death. I must have been crazy to marry a violent man like you. How unlucky I am to have been loved by someone like you for over ten years."
Her words stabbed Michael in the heart like needles.
He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging, wishing he could kill Megan on the spot.
Lawyer Geraldo McGinnis quickly pressed down on his shoulder, "Michael, calm down."
Michael took several deep breaths, turned around, and walked into the courtroom without looking back.
Geraldo, who was handling this case, was personally brought in by James and was one of the top lawyers globally.
During the trial, Geraldo presented various pieces of evidence, accusing Megan of deceiving Michael with lies all along, and her real purpose was to swindle Michael's assets.
Megan's lawyer, Otha Soderberg, was not weak either, openly accusing Michael of making Megan live a sexless married life. He also accused Michael of deceiving Megan about his sexual ability and even beating Megan after the divorce.
The lawyers on both sides engaged in a fierce debate, almost revealing all the ugly and unpleasant things in public.
The judge sitting above couldn't help but secretly take a cold breath. Fortunately, the Jude family had made arrangements, and this case had to be handled secretly. If it were a public trial, it might cause a social sensation, and the Jude family would be laughed at by the entire Madison.
An hour later, the judge ruled in favor of Michael, but because Michael had beaten Megan, causing her disfigurement and permanent disability, the judge only required Megan to return the money and property divided in the divorce agreement to Michael, instead of the three hundred million dollars Michael had originally demanded.
Michael was so angry at the result that he punched the table.
Megan wasn't any better off; one hundred million dollars was all the money she had now.
And she couldn't bear to lose the house and villa in Austin.
"No, I don't agree. I want to appeal. I will never give him the money and the house. They are mine," Megan made a scene in the courtroom.
She was already ugly, and her crazy behavior made the law enforcement officers in the courtroom feel disgusted. They also looked down on Michael's choice of a wife.
Facing the undisguised contempt from everyone, Michael felt extremely uncomfortable.
He had won the case, but it seemed he had lost all his dignity.
Megan had brought him a lifetime of shame.
He had once foolishly loved such a money-obsessed woman.
At the same time, the courtroom door was pushed open, and several police officers walked in from outside, showing their badges, "Police business. We received a report that Megan is involved in a murder case. We need to take her back to the station for questioning."
Michael was shocked.
Megan screamed in disbelief, "What murder? What are you talking about?"
"Someone reported that there were issues with the death of your father's second wife, Esmeralda. The police have already collected some evidence. You are also suspected of not only murder but also tampering with Esmeralda's body. Additionally, you have used hypnosis on several men you dated to swindle large amounts of money and commit fraud. Therefore, we must arrest you in court, and you cannot be bailed out."
After the police finished speaking, they handcuffed her and took Megan away.
"I didn't do it. I didn't kill anyone. Don't slander me. Landon, save me, save me."
Megan's hysterical voice faded at the door.
Michael was still in shock. What did Esmeralda's death have to do with Megan? What about using hypnosis on men she dated? What about tampering with a body?
Each revelation terrified him.
What kind of woman had he married? Could it be that everything Laura had said was true?
The more he thought about it, the more scared Michael became.
"Michael, the case is over. I'm leaving now," Geraldo said as he packed up his files, "I hope Michael will be smarter in the future. You could find a random old woman on the street who would be better than Megan."
After saying that, Geraldo left in large strides.
After coming out of the courtroom in a daze, Michael also drove to the police station.
When Michael arrived, he found Joseph, Cassie, and Bernice all there.
"Did you report it?" Michael looked at them in a daze.
Cassie raised an eyebrow, looking at the disheveled Michael in a black suit, with stubble and bloodshot eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with undisguised disdain, "It wasn't just us."
Michael was stunned.
At that moment, Landon suddenly came down from upstairs with a lawyer, shaking the police officer's hand vigorously, "Please make sure to punish that bitch Megan severely. I treated her kindly, and she used hypnosis on me and drugged my tea. If my secretary hadn't discovered it in time, I might have been ruined by Megan for life. It's terrifying. How could I have encountered such a horrible woman? This kind of woman must not be released."
Michael was stunned. He rushed over and grabbed Landon, "What are you talking about? Weren't you Megan's lover?"
"I was her lover, but who knew Megan was so terrifying."
Landon shook off his hand, "I just wanted to have sex with her, to satisfy my sexual needs. It was consensual. Who knew Megan would drug my water, making my mind more and more confused each day? She even hypnotized me in bed, making me love her wholeheartedly and want to marry her. It was terrifying. Fortunately, I fainted a few days ago, and my secretary took me to the hospital, where I found out that my mind had been tampered with."
Landon angrily pointed to his head, "Luckily, my family found a top psychologist to cure me, and fortunately, it didn't last long. Otherwise, my mind would have been completely ruined."
Michael was confused, "Then why did you help her last time?"
