Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 316

Chapter 316 He Insisted on Getting an Answer

“For the past two weeks, Andy has been under the control of the police. He doesn’t have the ability to prepare anything, and Sam is an old fox. It takes more than the ordinary person to scheme against him.” What kind of person wishes so badly for Jean to take on the criminal accusation?

Gigi? Edgar’s face darkened. It wouldn’t be her. She didn’t have such meticulous schemes. There was only one possibility left.

No lawyer was willing to defend Jean. This was something she had expected early on. After all, no one would be willing to destroy their reputation. Three days later, a hearing was officially held in court.

Because Gigi was a public figure, the case was carried out in a semi-public manner. When Jean walked into court, many people started to curse at her angrily.

“She’s so evil for laying her hands on such a small child!” “You don’t deserve to be human!” Gigi wore a pair of black shades and sat in the stands. She adjusted the frame of her glasses and put on a grieved look.

It was just that Edgar didn’t accompany her, nor were the Reece family around. Jean sat down directly across from her. She listened carefully as Gigi accused her of her ‘crime’ in front of the judge.

“She’s the ex-wife of my husband, Edgar, and she’s always been jealous of our relationship. She’s also been to my house and the hospital to disturb me a few times after I got pregnant. I have the old videos as proof. She’s the reason I have postpartum depression.”

“I also stayed at a mental hospital before I gave birth. I have witness testimonies for all of this.”

The judge accepted the evidence that she submitted and started to question Jean. “Defendant, you don’t have a defense attorney. You can defend yourself against the charges that the plaintiff has brought up against you. What do you have to say?”

There was silence in the courtroom.

Gigi raised her eyes to look at Jean. At that moment, there was a trace of an indifferent smile on the corner of her lips.

She would win.

Just like before, she would personally send Jean to prison!

Jean didn’t say anything from start to finish. The judge said again, “Defendant, did you hear what I said?”

“Your Honor, sentence her to jail!”

“That’s right. We don’t need to listen to her explanation. Sentencing her to jail is the only way to ensure that our society is peaceful and harmonious.”

There was an uproar in the courtroom. The crowd had been incited, and they pointed to Jean agitatedly as they kept shouting.

“Silence.”

The judge cried out loudly a few times but there was still no use.

In the end, the court could only be adjourned. The judgment would only be made after two days.

When Jean walked out of the courtroom, she was alone. She saw Gigi surrounded by a crowd of people. “Don’t be afraid. A woman like that would definitely be punished by the law.”

“Is your baby alright?”

Even if it was a passerby, they would feel like Gigi was particularly deserving of sympathy.

Jean looked from afar before turning and walking out from the corridor at the side.

Suddenly, a figure greeted her. Before she could come to her senses and avoid him, he had already pulled her to a corner behind the wall.

“Let go.”

Edgar stared straight at her face, and his voice deepened gradually. “I knew that you would definitely walk over here secretly.”

Jean pursed the corner of her lips and didn’t say a word. Her hands kept struggling.

But she still couldn’t break free from Edgar’s force.

“What did the judge say? Court has been adjourned, hasn’t it?” There was an expectant look on his face.

Jean looked at him strangely, and her eyes were flashing with questions. Even if Edgar had immense power, he couldn’t manipulate the court’s decisions.

“The evidence that Gigi provided is inadmissible. You are the biggest problem, but you can’t admit to the crime immediately. You have to wait for public opinion to build before it’s the best time to reach a verdict.”

He actually managed to make such a guess?

Jean immediately braced herself and shook her head. “I don’t know what you mean!”

“Why are you protecting Gigi?”

His eyes had already seen through everything. No one other than Jean could foresee the situation so accurately.

He just didn’t understand why Jean wanted to help Gigi. Did Gigi have some information on Jean?
