When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284 Isn’t It Absurd?

“I was at the scene the night it happened.”

Edgar’s voice was calm, flat–his lips barely moved as he spoke, but each word dropped like a stone into a

still lake.

“I was sitting on a bench along the main street. I saw everything that happened… with my own eyes.”

The courtroom rustled, and the livestream chat ignited instantly.

“Saw it? Really? Sounds fake.”

“If he really saw something, why didn’t he come forward earlier?”

“Exactly. This case’s been dragging for weeks. If he had info, he would’ve said something sooner.”

“Total bullsh*t. There’s something off about this.”

“Nah, not buying it. Smells like a setup.”

“Drama for the cameras, that’s all.”

Edgar didn’t flinch. His voice remained even, his composure flawless.

“No one knows the full truth better than I do,” he said, eyes sharp and unwavering. “I was there from the start. I saw what really happened.”

Thomas, watching from his office, leaned closer to the screen, jaw clenched so tight it ached.

He knew what Edgar was about to say. And the fury burning through his veins was cold and bitter–because Edgar had betrayed him in the most public way possible.

And he was doing it so calmly. So confidently.

Edgar continued. “At first, I was just sitting there, zoning out. Then two people walked into view. The streetlights weren’t great, so I don’t think they saw me.”

His voice dropped slightly, each word more deliberate than the last.

“One of them… was Sarah, who’s now standing in the plaintiff’s box. The other…”

Edgar’s gaze swept across the courtroom, then landed on the panel of judges.

“Was Thomas, of the Lawson family.”

Gasps rippled through the courtroom like waves crashing on shore.

“Thomas?”

“Wait, wait–so that license plate wasn’t a coincidence?”

“You’re telling me he was the one with Sarah?”

“Thomas was drunk. He started groping Sarah,” Edgar said bluntly, tone still emotionless. “It wasn’t a good scene.”

“The real perpetrator has been hiding this entire time… while someone else, someone innocent, is being paraded through a courtroom.”

“Isn’t that absurd?”
