Chapter 917: Chapter 917 Pessimism_1 Chapter 917: Chapter 917 Pessimism_1 During the recess, Purple Sumrs and Henry Jason went to the lounge.
“Did I screw this up?” Henry Jason was caught in a fit of rage and anxiety. He tried to suppress it, but it was beyond his control, and he paced the lounge restlessly.
“I should have been calr.” He grasped his own hair, “I lost my temper in court. Will the jury think I’m soone who is easily impulsive?”
“Don’t worry too much, your performance wasn’t that bad,” Purple Sumrs sighed softly, “but, it wasn’t that great either.”
She looked at Henry Jason, her brows furrowed, “Honestly, Henry, don’t you find this whole situation strange? Right after you left, Sean Patterson was found dead in the bathtub. Haven’t you ever suspected Noelle Nichols? Not even a little, not even the slightest chance?”
“Hannah wouldn’t murder Sean Patterson!” Henry Jason answered vehently.
Purple Sumrs pursed her lips, sowhat helpless at his response, “I know you love her, but… What I need isn’t your conclusion. I need a reason that can sway the jury, any reason. Henry, just standing in the courtroom shouting that you didn’t commit murder is of no help in proving your innocence. Do you understand?”
“She really couldn’t have killed Sean Patterson. It’s just not possible…” Henry Jason paced back and forth in the lounge, stopping and starting his sentences.
Finally, he stopped.
“Hannah loved him,” Henry Jason said with difficulty, “…She, loved Sean Patterson a lot.”
“But she chose to marry you?” Purple Sumrs’ frown deepened, “I don’t understand…”
“She loves too, but… it’s a different kind of love. I don’t know how to explain it to you.” Henry Jason bit his lip, his complexion ashen, “After Hannah decided to marry , she always felt like she was betraying Sean Patterson. She said that it was the first ti she defied Sean Patterson, and she felt very sorry for him.”
Purple Sumrs was stunned: “Why? Sean Patterson was just her manager…”
“It’s different,” Henry Jason sighed, explaining, “Hannah’s parents divorced when she was very young, and they started new families. She grew up lacking affection, and it was Sean Patterson who brought her up. He taught her how to conduct herself, how to dress, you could say that in so ways, he took on the role of her parents.
Hannah often told , her relationship with Sean Patterson was like a father and a friend. However, everything has two sides. While Sean Patterson cared for and looked after Hannah, he also had many restrictions for her. No spicy food, no carbonated drinks, no dark-colored clothing, no this, no that. Every ti Hannah couldn’t stand it, she would complain to , but after the complaints, she still couldn’t leave him!
“She had ten years of emotions towards Sean Patterson; he had beco a part of her! That day when I stord out in anger, although Hannah followed , do you know what she told ? She suggested calling off tomorrow’s wedding, we could just register our marriage secretly, and it would be the sa if we held the ceremony later!”
Upon recollecting this, Henry Jason’s smile was bitter: “I asked her then, whose feelings were more important, Sean Patterson’s or mine? Why did we have to be so secretive about our marriage, as if we were doing sothing shaful?!”
Purple Sumrs understood, “So that’s the real reason you left her alone and went for a drive by yourself.”
“Yes, at that ti… I lost control of my emotions, I was very, very angry.” Henry Jason weakly punched the wall of the lounge, desolate to the core, “I was afraid if I stayed there any longer, I would do sothing impulsive, so I drove away from there, I… I really didn’t commit murder.”
Purple Sumrs was silent, not saying a word.
The case really didn’t look good.
If I’ve estimated correctly, Noelle Nichols should be the next one, facing Allen Rivera’s questioning. It’s uncertain how long Noelle Nichols will hold out…
