The courtroom was silent as the judge read out the verdict, one by one, for each of the defendants. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. The sound of the gavel echoed through the courtroom, and Nathan and Miranda breathed a sigh of relief. They had done it. They had won. As they left the courthouse, they were surrounded by reporters and well-wishers, all eager to hear their thoughts on the verdict. Nathan and Miranda smiled and answered questions, but their minds were elsewhere.

Perfect delivery. When I finished, David nodded. "Well done." The jury deliberated. We waited. --- Tuesday afternoon. Verdict came back. Four hours of deliberation. We won. Defense verdict. Complete victory. The client was ecstatic. David was thrilled. "Congratulations," he said. "You were excellent. Sharp. Professional. Everything I needed." "Thank you." "This is what you're meant to do. Trial work. You're too good to waste on contracts." I should have felt proud. Victorious. Successful.

“How are you two holding up?” “Not great,” Adrian admitted. “I keep thinking… What if they acquit her? What if Sterling’s right and there’s reasonable doubt?” “There isn’t,” Nathan said firmly. “The evidence is overwhelming and the jury knows it. They’re just being thorough.” Adrian’s phone buzzed. Chen’s name on the screen. His heart stopped. “Hello?” “The jury’s back,” Chen said. “They’ve reached a verdict. Judge Morrison wants everyone in the courtroom in thirty minutes.”

Chapter 47 The Judgment pt3. As Veronica stepped into the infamous judgment room, her heart skipped a beat. This was the room where the fates of many had been sealed. A place notorious for deciding who would leave unscathed and who would be buried six feet under. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that she, Veronica, would one day find herself standing here, under the scrutiny of the entire Blackwood Dynasty. "This b***h has got me into this mess. Damn her," Veronica muttered under her breath, careful to keep her voice low enough that Dominique wouldn’t hear.

“What do you think about Verity’s letter, then? Do you think she’s telling the truth that all she had written in the novel were all lies?” “I don’t think so,” I answered quickly. I’m so sure of my stand in the subject that I didn’t hesitate even for a second. “I think the letter was just an alibi. She knew that once Jeremy discovers that she killed their daughter, it’s either he would kill her or send her to jail. I assume she made the letter to counter the evidence, which is the novel, if Jeremy chose the latter. Why would someone write a novel about her own life with the real names of her family in such a horrible story, anyway? And if it was true that Jeremy had discovered it even before

He flashed a benevolent smile at the two treasures before turning his attention back to his councils. “This court has heard, seen and deliberated on the arguments from both sides and will now announce the verdict.” He didn't have any hesitation in giving his verdict today. He had seen the attitudes of both men in question. While one didn't hesitate to drag his own innocent children into the quagmire for his selfish desires, the other didn't hesitate to defy even the judicial system of the country for sake of his children. Did he need more evidence to prove the justness of his verdict?

And I knew what she saw: Not a man broken by what was lost. But a man standing on the edge of what might finally begin. The past had ended. With a verdict. And maybe... so had my penance. *** POV: Emerald It wasn’t triumph I felt. It wasn’t even relief. Just... stillness. I sat in that courtroom as the verdict dropped like a stone into still water, rippling across the quiet faces of those watching. Nine years. Parole after six. Mandated therapy. The consequences that had finally caught up to Vivian, wrapped in a clean, authoritative sentence.

Clenching my fists, I fired back, "What evidence do you have to say that it's my mother who's trying to file a fraudulent claim?" Snorting, Gigi replied, "So what if we don't have any evidence of that? We're not here to prove your mother's guilt today." Frowning, the judge warned us to maintain order in court. When it was time to read the verdict, I felt as though my heart was being squeezed. Alas, Gigi was declared innocent due to insufficient evidence.

My parents immediately chimed in, "That's right, it must be fake! We've lived with Claire for so many years. We know her character. She loves Louis; she'd never hit him! This video has to be forged!" The judge stated that evidence verified by the court was completely authentic and could not be forged. "Well, even if it's real, maybe Claire's been paralyzed so long that she had a mental breakdown." I let out a bitter laugh. My family was really going all out for Claire. However, Claire suddenly widened her eyes and pointed at the woman assaulting me on screen, shouting, "Honey, I know who that person is now! It's not me!"

The jury disappeared to deliberate. Every minute felt like an hour. I folded and unfolded my hands more times than I could count. Noah sat beside me without speaking. At some point, his little finger brushed against mine. Neither of us moved away. After nearly two hours… The jury returned. Everyone stood again. My heartbeat echoed loudly inside my ears. The foreperson rose. "Has the jury reached a unanimous verdict?" "We have." The judge nodded. "Please read your verdict." The courtroom became impossibly still. "On the charge of the murder of Marcus Kuntz..."
