Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 905

One month later, it was the day of the trial.

Since the royal family was involved, the trial attracted a lot of attention.

Although Rowan was sitting in the dock, he appeared calm and collected, as if he were in charge of the trial.

Martin and Carmella sat in the audience seats.

When they heard the charges the prosecution listed, a barely noticeable smile flickered across Carmella's face. On the other hand, Martin remained expressionless, but there was anger in his deep eyes as he tightly clasped his hands together.

"Your Majesty..." Carmella gently took hold of his hands.

Martin's fingertips jolted slightly, but he did not push her away. Carmella was surprised as Martin had avoided any physical contact with her, even reducing their intimate moments, for years because of Helene's incident. Whenever he touched her, it was like he was touching something filthy. They had even started sleeping separately in the past two years.

Martin's action just now brought joy to Carmella's heart. It was an unintentional gesture, but it felt like a milestone with extraordinary significance to her. She was momentarily stunned before smiling and trying to lean her head on Martin's shoulder.

Martin still did not avoid her touch. Carmella's eyes turned red, and she was more determined in her intention to get rid of Rowan. Once Rowan was out of the way, no one would bring Helene back to sanity. As long as Helene remained insane, no one would ever know Aurelia's real identity.

She had to remove all these obstacles, and then Martin would always be hers alone.

The prosecutor asked sternly, "Rowan Irwin, do you admit to all of these charges?"

Rowan smirked. "Evidence needs to be presented in cases like this. Are you asking me to admit guilt without evidence? Are you trying to confuse the facts? Do you think that the laws in Southeast Aciatic can be manipulated at will?"

The lawyer glanced at him and requested to summon a witness before the judge. Soon, Aurelia sat in the witness seat.

"You saw with your own eyes that Rowan Irwin treated Princess Helene, didn't you?"

Aurelia nodded slightly.

The lawyer continued to ask, "Since drinking the medicine containing cinnabar, the princess' condition has worsened. And Rowan Irwin prescribed the medicine, is that right?"

Aurelia took a deep breath, licked her lips, and answered clearly, "No."

The courtroom was in an uproar due to her response.

Aurelia smiled calmly. "I'm here to testify for Mr. Irwin today. I don't want to see anyone slandering his reputation with baseless accusations!"

The lawyer narrowed his eyes. "Ms. Chilton, you reported it to the queen when Princess Helene's condition got worse."

"Of course, I have to tell the queen the truth that Princess Helene's seriously ill. But that doesn't mean that I'll frame Mr. Irwin!"

"Very well!" The lawyer smiled. This was as Carmella had guessed. He calmly presented another piece of evidence.

"Ms. Aurelia Chilton lived in Melorian before coming to Southeast Aciatic. Her parents are illegal immigrants with no fixed income. However, their lives have improved significantly recently. Upon investigating their accounts, there's a large sum of inexplicable funds in there."

The lawyer sneered. "Ms. Chilton, this is the benefit that Rowan Irwin promised you, isn't it?"
