Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 967

I remained composed as my loving husband stayed by my side every step of the way.

He had been a little harsh sometimes, but right now he was even more composed than I was.

An additional lawyer appeared at the prosecution bench. That must be the result of Melvern's efforts.

The trial officially began.

After presenting the details of the case, both sides submitted their evidence. Adrian played a crucial role, maintaining a steady momentum, articulating logical arguments, and seizing every opportunity with compelling evidence.

The opposing side also had strong evidence. Several project managers from Ardora testified.

Johnson, who was standing beside me, clenched his fists in frustration. He whispered, "Those guys changed their stance. They promised not to testify, and now they're here. How could they be so hypocritical?"

There was no need to guess. It must be because of Liora.

I scanned the courtroom and saw a fully armed Liora in a corner. Her arm was still not healed. It was wrapped in clothes and held close to her chest. It looked like the cast hadn't been removed yet.

Not far from her was the discreet Melvern, trying to keep a low-profile.

I withdrew my gaze and focused on the trial. Arguments were heating up, and I could see Matthew was getting nervous.

Witnesses came forward one by one, both sides in a heated dispute. Adrian presented the testing report for the materials used in construction, conducted under the supervision of relevant departments.

They even brought in personnel from the relevant departments to testify, hitting hard on the authenticity of the previous material testing report.

However, the atmosphere became tense because it involved evidence from Melanie. The trial reached a point of anxiety.

The opposition clung stubbornly to this point, since the fact that Melanie and Matthew were a married couple was an undeniable reality.

They needed solid evidence to refute Melanie's claims for an absolute victory.

Everyone was tense. I squeezed my hands tightly, and Atlas comforted me in a low voice. "Don't worry, just wait!"

I involuntarily glanced back at Liora, who was looking at me meaningfully, her eyes filled with provocation.

Since they had changed their strategy for today's trial, all the accusations against Liora had been hidden. This made the efforts of the aggressive lawyer hired by the opposition somewhat pointless and irrelevant.

However, it clearly delighted Liora.

After all, she wanted to take over Matthew's company, and nothing in her demeanor hinted at her heinous crimes.
