Chapter 1615 Court Session
Cassie remained silent, just pressing her lips together.
Joseph became anxious, "Can you accept my proposal?"
Joseph's cautious demeanor reminded Cassie of the domineering and high-and-mighty Joseph from before, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing her laugh, Joseph relaxed and hooked her hand, "Cassie, your silence just now scared me."
"Am I that scary?" Cassie gave him a sidelong glance, "Weren't you quite arrogant in front of me before?"
"How was I arrogant?" Joseph looked aggrieved, "I was just a bit proud before. Now, for you, I don't want anything else. I just want you."
"Did you see what happened to Michael? If you ever wrong me again," Cassie smiled beautifully, "it will be very bad for you."
"Cassie, don't you know you're even more charming now?" Joseph said, "You're getting smarter and more capable. Marrying you is my good fortune."
"Consider yourself lucky." Cassie snorted arrogantly, shook off his hand, and walked towards where the car was parked.
Joseph knelt on the ground, stunned. What did she mean by lucky?
Frowning, Joseph chased after her, "Cassie, so did you agree or not?"
"Think about it yourself." Cassie didn't look back.
After a few seconds of being stunned, Joseph suddenly exerted force, tightly hugging her from behind, and laughed softly, "If you want me to think about it, then you agreed."
"Did I agree?" Cassie feigned innocence.
"I don't care, you agreed." Joseph hugged her and kissed her hard.
"Joseph, let go, there are people around." Cassie scratched him in embarrassment.
"Then let's kiss in the car." Joseph pulled her towards the car.
Once in the car, he couldn't wait to kiss her.
He was as happy as a child getting candy.
"Cassie, with your words, I will definitely find a way to get Megan the heaviest sentence."
At the police station.
When Megan was being interrogated in the room, she was completely bewildered, "What are you talking about? I haven't killed anyone. I haven't used hypnosis. I haven't harmed anyone! I'm innocent."
"Your affair partner, Landon, personally accused you of drugging his food."
The police took out a document, "This is the evidence submitted by Landon, containing large amounts of illegal substances. Landon said you tried to hypnotize him during sex. Not just Landon, but also Joseph. Joseph once sought treatment from you, and after one session, his memory became confused."
When the statements were laid out, Megan was bewildered.
Joseph was one thing, but Landon?
How could Landon?
Suddenly, Megan realized that Landon had never been successfully hypnotized by her; she had always been the one deceived.
"So Landon was lying to me, he was always lying to me."
Too many things had happened recently, and Megan's mind was on the verge of collapse. She started shouting like a madwoman, "I didn't do it, don't frame me, I'm just an ordinary psychologist."
"Really?" The police sneered, "But your own brother has confessed. Nathan said you actually hated your stepmother. On the surface, you seemed to respect Esmeralda, but privately, you frequently instigated Nathan to argue with Esmeralda. You also encouraged him to anger his own father to death. You are a woman whose actions are shockingly malicious; you didn't even spare your own father."
Facing the police's questioning, Megan kept denying.
Until the police gathered more and more evidence, and the prosecutor's office filed charges in court.
On the day of the trial, Joseph, Cassie, Laura, Bernice, Lucas, Michael, and Landon all attended.
Due to the wide scope of the case and the involvement of people with extraordinary identities, the court had to hold a public trial.
This attracted many reporters, and some even broadcasted live.
Because Bernice was a public figure, and Cassie, Laura, and Joseph were also well-known in Madison, the live broadcast quickly attracted many viewers online.
[I see Bernice. The ones sitting next to her seem to be Laura and Cassie.]
[Next to Cassie should be Joseph. The man next to Joseph is really handsome.]
[That should be Lucas, the head of the Nelson family group.]
[I think I see Michael too. Who is on trial today? Why is everyone here?]
[Megan, Michael's ex-wife.]
[Wait, wasn't Laura Michael's ex-wife?]
[Apparently, Michael recently got divorced. Megan's ex-boyfriend is Joseph, and her former friend is Lucas. Cassie and Laura are both Megan's rivals. It's said that Megan has harmed many people and even killed someone.]
[Oh my god, what a demon, so terrifying.]
While netizens were hotly discussing online, the judge had already started the trial.
Landon was the first key witness to testify, followed by Joseph.
Then came the psychiatrist from the hospital. "When I treated Cassie back then, I didn't think she had any mental illness. But Megan gave me five million dollars to admit in front of Joseph that Cassie had a mental illness and to have Cassie committed to a mental hospital. I have records of the overseas accounts and transfers, but Megan didn't use her own account for the transfer."
The prosecutor said, "Through our diligent investigation, the account used for the transfer belonged to a friend Megan met while studying abroad."
The funeral home employee said, "When we cremated Esmeralda's body, Megan said she was Esmeralda's daughter, so we handed the urn to Megan. During this time, it didn't go through anyone else's hands."
Nathan was the most agitated. "It was Megan who switched Esmeralda's ashes. Megan hated Esmeralda the most in her life. Megan said she would never let Esmeralda be buried with my dad. I'm sure Esmeralda's death is related to Megan. Megan told me more than once that she wanted to kill Esmeralda. Megan wanted Nina to have nothing. After Esmeralda died, Megan told me to anger my dad to death, saying that once my dad died, the company would be ours."
He went on, "Not only that, Megan is also very narrow-minded. Don't be fooled by her gentle and kind appearance; Megan has done many bad things in private. When she was with the Zenith family, Megan often framed Nina."
The prosecutor cleared his throat, "Alright, witness, please refrain from discussing matters unrelated to the case."
Nathan quickly shut his mouth.
In the audience, Lucas's brow furrowed slightly. After a moment, he took off his glasses and quietly wiped the lenses.
