Sheena quietly tucked the note back into her pocket, lowering her gaze in silence.
Kelly appeared emotionally distressed, a picture of sorrow and agony.
Those unaware of the truth marveled at her profound motherly love.
Even though the deceased was her adopted son, they thought Kelly’s grief was heart–wrenching, truly
showcasing her kind heart.
In contrast, Sheena remained cold and stunningly beautiful but with a ruthless heart. If she had truly
committed murder, then perhaps she deserved the consequences.
The unsuspecting spectators were now leaning unanimously toward Kelly’s side.
“Charles Lance is subject to an international extradition order, and he should have faced trial by the
National Investigation Bureau for his wrongdoing. However, the defendant, Sheena Lawson, on the day
of the wedding, ruthlessly killed Mr. Lance. She not only took his life but also took away his body. To
this day, his remains are nowhere to be found. Given the heinous nature of this act, we request the
honorable judge to impose a severe sentence!”
Sheena was lost in thought when suddenly she heard her name being called by Kelly’swyer.
Something in his statement caught her attention…
Nathaniel’s body was missing?
How could that be?
She remembered Elliot instructing someone to return Nathaniel’s body to Froania and handing it
over to the Nicholls family.
Was it possible that the Nicholls family, driven by their resentment toward her, conspired with Kelly to
deliberately hide Nathaniel’s body to bring her down?
Sheena’s mind was buzzing.
Sheena’swyer, Ricky, raised his hand and said, “Your Honor, regarding the usations from the
intiff, our defendant has something to say.”
Then, he looked at Sheena and continued, “Ms. Lawson, don’t be afraid. What really happened on the
day of the wedding at Florence Cathedral?”
The Lawson family’s legal team was well–prepared.
Once Sheena narrated the events ording to the provided note, they would present Lionel’s medical
assessment and a series of evidence to the judge.
All eyes were now fixed on Sheena, who kept her head down, seemingly still contemting something.

“Ms. Lawson, it’s your turn to speak!” Ricky called out to her again, quickly bringing her back to focus.
He reassured her with a gaze, adding, “Don’t be afraid. Speak freely. The judge will ensure fairness
and justice for you!”
Sheena nced at Ricky, knowing well what he was implying.
He was suggesting shifting all the me onto Nathaniel, making him bear the burden, letting him be
the scapegoat….
After all, Nathaniel was already dead, and these proceedings were just for the living. Once everything
was concluded, it would not have any impact on everyone’s lives.
However…
a thing.
Sheena could not bring herself to do such a
Though she did not love Nathaniel, she had once respected and admired him, especially considering
he had never harmed her.
In her eyes, Nathaniel owed her nothing.
No one was born knowing how to love, and Nathaniel had just chosen a different approach.
“Ms. Lawson!” Ricky called her for the third time.
Sheena snapped back to reality, instinctively turning her head to nce at Noah and Howard in the
spectator seats.
Her two brothers gave her firm, reassuring nods, indicating she should proceed with the n.
Sheena sighed silently and finally began to speak.
She looked at Kelly on the intiff’s seat and calmly asked, “Princess Kelly, do you know Nathaniel’s
favorite food? What did he dislike the most? What was his greatest wish?”
“What do
you
mean?”
Not only Kelly, but the entire courtroom was bewildered.
All thewyers on the defendant’s side widened their eyes, and Ricky was so frustrated that he
snapped a pen in half.
Sheena was not following their n!
If she lost the case, his bonus would go down the drain!
On top of that, his title as Froania’s topwyer was on the line too!
