offer my assistance. You mention Monday as if you are unaware that it is one of the busiest days at work. If I am not mistaken, you will likely have even more tasks to complete then. If you do not finish this today, you will face an overwhelming workload come Monday, and I am certain you would prefer to avoid that,” Steven elucidated.

Ethan pondered this for a moment.

“I also wish for you to complete your work in a timely manner so that you can attend your meeting. Alternatively, let us proce

  • FRAMED (THE PAYBACK)   CHAPTER 180: OH NO! ETHAN WAS THE ONE WHO FRAMED ME!

    With the gavel struck, Steven broke down in tears, exclaiming, "I am innocent!!!" The police escorted him away as his family—parents, sister, and girlfriend—cried out in anguish. The victim's family rejoiced, relieved that justice had been served for their only son. Charlotte felt gratified that she had persevered with the case, despite the fact that Edward could not be brought back to life; justice had been achieved. Ethan was the only individual pleased to witness Steven's removal and to see him face a lifetime sentence for a crime he did not commit, wearing a mischievous smile. The following day, Angela visited Ethan, informing him that Steven had been sentenced to life imprisonment. She then shared the good news about how Cynthia had facilitated Ethan's automatic employment at the financial institution managed by her uncle, along with the provision of a house and car. Overcome with emotion, Ethan burst into tears, filled with joy at how his life had transformed overnight

  • FRAMED (THE PAYBACK)   CHAPTER 179: THE JUDGEMENT DAY: I JUDGE BARRETT, DECLARE YOU GUILTY, AND I HEREBY SENTENCE YOU TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT

    Charlotte sighed and remarked, "Hmm, the case may be resolved by then." Ethan pivoted the conversation by posing a challenging question to Charlotte: "Given that you perceive something suspicious in this case, does this imply that you will cease to manage it and forgo seeking justice for your deceased client?" "I understand your intentions, Ethan, but I must disappoint you; as it stands, Steven is guilty, and I remain committed to this case and will pursue justice for my late client," Charlotte asserted. Ethan smiled slyly, as this was precisely the response he had hoped to hear. "I shall now return home; I look forward to seeing you on the final day for the judge's ruling," Charlotte announced as she departed. Ethan waved goodbye as he took a deep breath. A few days later, Cynthia spoke with her uncle, Maxwell, who is a bank manager at a different financial institution, concerning Ethan's employment. "Good day, Uncle," Cynthia greeted. "Oh, my favourite niece! How are

    "Very well, I have heard you," Susan conceded. "Excellent! Now, please tell me how much you expended on your witness?" Jane inquired. "I do not comprehend; why are you posing such a trivial question?" Susan retorted. "Because that individual does not appear to be in dire need of financial assistance," Jane replied. "Neither does yours," Susan countered. "Pray tell, what secret are you concealing, and who is that individual?" Jane pressed. "Why do you not reveal the secret you are hiding?" Susan countered. Jane crossed her arms and stated, "You first; I shall disclose my secret after you reveal yours." "Why?" Susan queried. "Because I asked first," Jane responded. "Very well, I shall begin. If you must know, I am not concealing any secret; he is merely someone I assisted some time ago, and he opted to repay the favour by standing as a witness for my boyfriend, who happens to be your brother," Susan explained. "Really!" Jane exclaimed. "Indeed," Susan confirmed. "Please, el

    "Very well. I hope she consents, as I am eager to leave this place," Steven concluded. "I will approach her office tomorrow morning. For now, I must take my leave. Take care, Steven, and maintain faith," Barrister Robert said as he departed. The following day, he visited Charlotte's office. Upon seeing him, Charlotte perceived that he had come with an important proposition. "Good day, Charlotte," Barrister Robert greeted. Charlotte responded with a feigned smile and remarked, "I assume we have not yet been formally introduced." Barrister Robert extended his hand in introduction, saying, "Oh, I apologise for my manners; I am Barrister Robert." Charlotte disregarded his handshake and retorted curtly, "I see no need to introduce myself again, as I believe you are already aware of my identity." "Could you at least offer me a seat?" Barrister Robert requested. "Given your demeanour, I did not assume you wished to sit," Charlotte replied. Barrister Robert nodded and said, "Charlott

  • FRAMED (THE PAYBACK)   CHAPTER 176: THE COURT DAY (DO YOU PLEAD GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY)

    Barrister Robert, Steven's parents, his sister Jane, and his girlfriend Susan were all present in the courtroom, as were the victim's family. Upon the entrance of Judge Barrett, all present rose in a display of respect, after which he instructed them to be seated. The court usher then announced, "Let the witnesses come forward." Jasper was the first individual called to testify before Judge Barrett. "Please state your name and recount your observations regarding the defendant," directed Judge Barrett. None in the courtroom were familiar with Jasper, not even Charlotte, who was a friend of Steven's, hence he proceeded to introduce himself. "My name is Jasper, and I am a friend of the defendant. I was present at his residence when he received a phone call, and he took some time before leaving the house. Upon his arrival at the scene, he quickly contacted me to inform me that someone had been murdered prior to his arrival," Jasper stated confidently. Before Judge Barrett could pos

    "I need a hug too," Jasper said, reciprocating as he embraced Steven tightly. They then departed, and Steven was escorted back to his cell. Meanwhile, upon returning home, Jane promptly called Barrister Robert to inform him that her brother Steven wished to see him and that it was of great importance. The following morning, Barrister Robert arrived at the police station to see his client, Steven, curious about the reason for the summons. "Steven, how are you? Your sister called to say you wanted to see me. I hope everything is well," Barrister Robert inquired quickly. "Indeed, all is well. I simply wished to discuss something significant with you," Steven acknowledged. "Very well, I am listening," Barrister Robert responded. "I would like to know if you have managed to find anyone willing to act as my witness in court," Steven asked. Barrister Robert adjusted his necktie and cleared his throat before explaining, "Um, I regret to inform you that I have not yet secured a

    "Hmm, I presume you have observed my reaction and hope you are satisfied with your findings," Steven replied. "Yes, I am pleased to see that you still possess some emotions despite your current situation," Jane stated. Steven nodded and turned to Susan, asking, "My love, why have you not visited

    “That is acceptable; I will support you throughout this endeavour,” Jasper assured her.

Meanwhile, Susan ventured outside in search of a wit

    "Please, answer me," Ethan urged. Charlotte coughed softly and admitted, "To be honest, I would think you were being untruthful." "Why is that?" Ethan inquired. "Because you do not wish to see me," Charlotte responded. "Very well. Suppose you had come to check if I was home, just as you did

I will discuss it with him once he awakens." Etha
