Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: No Grievances or Hatreds_1 Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: No Grievances or Hatreds_1 The witness’s words fell, and the entire courtroom erupted into uproar.
mbers of the jury looked at each other while everyone in the gallery whispered amongst themselves.
The judge struck the gavel forcefully, “Order! Order!”
The scene finally quieted down, and a variety of looks fell upon Purple Sumrs, so skeptical, so inquisitive, so gleeful… Violet Nelson felt an indescribable delight.
She watched Purple Sumrs’s shock in her eyes and imagined how utterly panicked and bewildered Purple Sumrs must be feeling. Ah, there was nothing more wonderful than this!
The judge stared sternly at Purple Sumrs, “Defense lawyer, is what the witness has said true?”
Purple Sumrs, looking bewildered, replied, “I have never given her money, nor have I induced her to give false testimony. Under Article 307 of the Criminal Law, anyone who stops a witness from testifying or instructs others to give false testimony through violence, threats, bribery, etc., shall be sentenced to no more than three years of fixed-term imprisonnt. Your Honor, I would never knowingly break the law. Why the witness would suddenly slander , I also find strange.”
The judge furrowed his brows deeply and struck the gavel again, “Court is adjourned; the next court session will be scheduled later. The defense lawyer is to be investigated imdiately!”
With that, the judge left the courtroom in annoyance.
Purple Sumrs seed to realize sothing and looked resentfully at Violet Nelson, “Was it you who did this?!”
Violet Nelson smiled disdainfully, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Co with !” Purple Sumrs grabbed Violet Nelson and stord into the lounge.
She slamd the door shut with a bang.
“You’re the one I was told to find, who else could it be but you?! Tell ! Did you instruct her to slander ?” Purple Sumrs was frantic, “Have you lost your mind?! Without an alibi, you might as well prepare to go to prison!”
“Who says I don’t have an alibi?” Violet Nelson sneered.
She should’ve kept her composure, but seeing Purple Sumrs so rare out of sorts, she couldn’t contain the elation in her heart and only wanted to crush her into the dust!
“Purple Sumrs, you’d better worry about yourself!” Violet Nelson’s eyes glittered with barely concealed triumph, “Instructing others to give false testimony carries a sentence of up to three years of imprisonnt, not bad at all. Your lawyer’s license will probably be revoked, right? And the academy will expel you, right? Interesting, I’ll soon be acquitted, and you’ll be the one going to jail. Isn’t that interesting?”
Purple Sumrs looked at her in disbelief.
“Why?” Purple Sumrs genuinely didn’t understand, “Violet Nelson, I have no feud with you! Why would you do this to ?!”
“No feud? No grudge?” Violet Nelson laughed as if she’d heard the world’s biggest joke.
“When I went to Clearwater, I was originally ant to beco allied with Graves Corporation through marriage. The second young master’s birthday reception was actually for . But what did you do?! You upstaged , making everyone revolve around you! In the end, the marriage alliance with the Graves family fell through. Ruining soone’s marital prospects, doesn’t that count as a grudge?”
Violet Nelson spoke of the past with teeth clenched in hatred, “And what did you do when you ca to Kingsley? You beca the president’s daughter! The Presidential Palace held a grand reception for you! What about ? What did I get? I spent over a decade in the president’s life, yet I didn’t compare to a newcor like you! Even getting married, you had to step on ! Making lose all face at the wedding reception! All this, doesn’t it count as a grudge?!!”
Purple Sumrs stared wide-eyed, “But I didn’t force you to set your wedding on the sa day as mine…”
“It was you who forced !” Violet Nelson raised her voice sharply, her expression turning fierce for a mont, “You were the one who booked the entire Heavenly Phoenix Palace for your wedding, what choice did I have?! Was I to wait until the end of the year and have people laugh at the comparison of our weddings?! Or should I have awaited ridicule, being only the president’s niece, never matching up to the president’s daughter?! Why should I always be one step below you?!!”
Upon hearing this, Purple Sumrs’s expression gradually cald down, and she smiled lightly, “But you are just the president’s niece.”
