Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 299: 299: New Witness

She seemed to have survived a major career crisis, but in reality, she missed an important opportunity to shine in her life!

Her career was stained, her family saw only interests, and as for her marriage… Nathaniel Summers was always indifferent to her.

Jade Carlson felt that her life had fallen into a desperate situation, and she must find a way to break through as soon as possible, otherwise, she might be mediocre for the rest of her life.

Her chaotic thoughts circled in her mind over and over again. Jade couldn’t help but look at Purple Summers again—

Purple Summers looked down at the documents in her hand, her beautiful side face was elegant and aloof.

Jade couldn’t help but wonder: Why would Purple Summers be here?

It was the case of the Second Young Master Graves today. Could it be that Purple Summers would intervene in this case?

This Purple Summers is really strange! Her presence is everywhere!

Last time she even asked about Suzanne Saunders’s death, which startled her…

Thinking of Suzanne Saunders’s death, Jade became more and more unsettled. Just as the judge struck the gavel at this moment, her body shuddered, and some pages of the documents in her hands fell off, attracting Allen Rivera’s questioning gaze.

Allen Rivera was very serious about his work, leaving no room for error, and would not show any tolerance just because his subordinates were female.

Jade felt resentment in her heart.

This Allen Rivera, like Suzanne Saunders, was an anomaly. He dared to offend Young Master Graves! Sooner or later, he would die without even knowing how he died!

The judge announced the opening of the court session.

As it was the second instance, it was necessary to first read the verdict of the first instance and the relevant evidence. Then, the defender would present the appeal reasons and opinions.

Mr. Ross still questioned the cause of death as determined by the forensic doctor and claimed to have found a key eyewitness to the case.

Purple Summers frowned and whispered to Marcel Jefferson next to her: “Where did they find the witness?”

Marcel looked puzzled: “I don’t know.”

After hesitating for a moment, he couldn’t help saying, “Is this what Mr. Ross meant by the sure way to win?”

“Let’s wait and see.” Purple Summers said.

A man in his thirties was invited onto the witness stand, wearing a light gray suit and thin-framed glasses, exuding an air of refinement and elegance.

This man’s name was Robin Harper, who lived in Greenwood Town, Building 21, Unit C402.

Mr. Ross said, “Mr. Robin Harper, please tell the judge and the jury what you saw at 7:30 in the morning on the day of the incident.”

The other party replied, “I saw the neighbor across from me waking up, sitting up in bed, and looking at her phone for a while. She might have still been sleepy, and then she lay down again.”

Mr. Ross presented a work photo of Delilah White in court and asked the witness, “Is the woman who got up that you saw the victim in this case, Miss Delilah White?”

Robin Harper nodded: “It’s her.”

“Are you sure?” Mr. Ross held the photo even closer, “This photo is her work photo. She did her hair, put on makeup, and is wearing different clothes. Mr. Robin Harper, are you really sure?”

“Yes, I am sure it is her,” Robin Harper calmly explained, “She lives right across from me. I can see her every day from the window, though we don’t know each other, I am very familiar with her face.”

Mr. Ross’s mouth curved up in a self-satisfied smile as he respectfully turned to face the jury.

“This Mr. Robin Harper, who lives in a room whose window is directly opposite the victim Delilah White’s room, saw with his own eyes that Delilah White was still alive at 7:30 on the day of the incident. And my client Gerald Graves was already captured by the surveillance leaving Greenwood Town at 7:20! Therefore, the testimony of Mr. Robin Harper is sufficient to prove that my client did not kill Miss Delilah White, and my client is innocent! — I request the court to approve the acquittal of my client Gerald Graves.”
