When The Family Reads The Fake Heiress Mind novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286 Falling Silent

“Wait… are we actually getting a plot twist?”

“Come on, it can’t flip that easily. Let’s give it a minute.

After Jolene presented Edgar’s proof of presence, Sarah’s lawyer merely frowned slightly, then calmly continued his questioning. “Alright. Let’s say this young man really was at the scene. As I said earlier–just because he claims he saw Thomas, does that automatically make it true?”

“He could very well be lying.”

The lawyer narrowed his eyes, his tone cool and detached. “And another thing. Why did he only come forward now, after all this time? Why not testify earlier?”

“Waiting until the last possible moment to say he’s a witness–it’s suspicious, don’t you think?”

His pointed remarks immediately pulled everyone in the courtroom–and in the livestream chat–back from the edge of believing Edgar.

“Yeah, the lawyer makes a solid point.”

“Totally. This kid could be lying through his teeth.”

“Feels like Asher and Jolene pulled him in last–minute to act as a fake witness!”

“Exactly. Why would a real witness wait this long? He looks more like a paid actor.”

“Can we just get to the bottom of this already? I’m dizzy. I don’t even know who to believe anymore.”

Thomas had been watching everything unfold from inside the courtroom.

The moment he saw that footage confirming Edgar’s presence, his heart gave a subtle jolt.

At first, he assumed he must’ve made a mistake when he was wiping the surveillance footage.

He could’ve sworn he’d deleted every clip with Edgar in it.

Had he actually missed one?

But that kind of rookie mistake didn’t sit right with him.

Soon enough, he noticed something-

The angle in this footage was completely different from anything he’d seen before.

But how?!
