    received an email on herptop.


    Reading the first few lines, her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly turned theputer toward


    Kelly.


    Kelly read the email attentively, and as she progressed, her eyes reddened, tears streaming down


    uncontrobly.


    The assistant interrupted the trial, saying, “Apologies, Your Honor. The intiff is emotionally


    distressed. We request another recess!”


    Just as the Lawson family’s legal team was ready to unvell their ace–evidence proving Nathaniel was


    not a legitimate son and that Sheena acted in self–defense, the trial was abruptly halted again.


    Everyone present was puzzled.

    Lionel drove the car and waved at Lucy, who stood quietly behind Noah and Howard.
