“Ma’am, try not to worry. Even if today doesn’t go well…” Sofia gently patted Mindy’s shoulder, her voice low and reassuring, “we can still appeal.”

Mindy said nothing. She simply pressed her lips together unconsciously, sniffled lightly, and gave a slow nod.

Jean quietly observed everything.

It was clear both Mindy and Sofia felt deeply pessimistic about the upcoming trial.

Neither of them believed Asher could win today.

The available evidence, the direction of public opinion, and even the media–all of it was stacked against him.

So, despite having Jolene as defense counsel, their anxiety remained. They were already bracing for the

worst.

“Relax,” Jean whispered, her voice soft. “There’s no need to be too worried.”

Mindy and Sofia didn’t know the full truth of the case. There were many things Jean simply couldn’t tell them.

All she could do was try to ease their nerves.

“Okay.” Sofia took a deep breath and forced a smile. “We’re not that nervous… it’s just-”

She glanced down, her eyes dim. “Just not knowing what’s going to happen…”

Jean reached out and gave Sofia’s shoulder a light pat.

Twenty minutes later, the trial officially began.

The livestream exploded in popularity, with viewership numbers climbing fast.

The chat section of the stream blew up. A torrent of comments flooded the screen in a storm of question marks and exclamation points.

Because someone completely unexpected had appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Jolene stepped into the courtroom–right into the defendant’s side.

“No way–am I seeing this right? That’s Jolene???”
