Chapter 1050


    There were a lot of people gathered outside the court.


    They were awaiting the verdict because it wasn''t a small affair.


    Not everyone was doing it out of concern. Most of them just wanted to see if the Granger family would


    finally be defeated this time.


    Nelsonforted Naomi before the trial began, "It will be fine!"


    Naomi nodded.


    Then, the two of them smiled at each other and sat down directly in their seats.


    At 10 o''clock in the morning, the trial officially began.


    Firstly, a few suspects were brought in. Naomi quickly looked at them. However, they immediately


    turned their heads away when they met her eyes.


    Naomi frowned at the sight of that, but she thought they were just indignant after being detained for so


    long.


    She only hoped that everything could end peacefully that day, and that all innocent civilians would be


    released soon.


    In the beginning, the suspects were questioned. The police also showed some evidence.


    Up until that, everyone remained calm.


    After that, the police imed that they had found some witnesses.


    Naomi had known about the witnesses the day before, but she didn''t know who exactly they were. Now


    that she heard that the witnesses wereing, she couldn''t help but feel curious.


    With just one nce, she was left stunned.


    The witnesses were no other than the wives and families of her subordinates.

    What bbergasted her even more was that none of her subordinates looked surprised seeing their


    families take the witness stand in court.


    In other words, they all had known about it beforehand.


    Naomi had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, but she could not express her


    apprehension overtly at the moment. Therefore, she shifted restlessly in her seat.


    The family members of several suspects testified that their husbands were wronged and forced to do


    so by their superior.


    After hearing their words, some of the people in the court, who knew about the Granger family, looked


    at Naomi doubtfully.


    If those witnesses were telling the truth, the Granger family would be in serious trouble this time.


    Furthermore, certain people who were sitting some distance away from Naomi started gossiping


    amongst themselves.


    "Is it true that the Granger familymitted such wrongdoings?"


    Naomi was infuriated, but she knew that she had to suppress her anger. She couldn''t disgrace the


    Granger family on such an asion. Additionally, she would insult herself if she wasted her time


    arguing with such busybodies.


    She simply closed her eyes and took a deep breath.


    Nelson, on the other hand, rebuked them indirectly with a low but scornful tone, "Well, some people just


    can''t keep their mouth shut, can they? They''d better watch their mouths though. I have heard that


    people who gossip too much will be punished by God and sent to hell."


    It was sarcastic, but it was also effective.


    They shut up at once.


    Naomi suddenly felt that she was not angry anymore. In fact, she had an urge tough.


    The family members of most of the suspects had finished testifying, and soon, thest witness came to


    the stand.


    Before Naomi couldugh upon hearing Nelson''s words, she was devastated by the presence of the


    When she was framed by the former witnesses, she felt surprised and slightly angry, but never sad.


    However, when she saw Carol walking to the stand calmly, she was utterly astonished. Carol''s


    presence sent a chill down her spine.


    Carol and Walter were the first couple she met when she started to take over the organization.


    They both came from the countryside. Walter was a honest man. He used to hang out with his gang,


    but he was always the one getting bullied.


    Meanwhile, Carol had been working diligently as a waitress and a housekeeper in order to support her


    younger brother, as well as to help her husband.


    She had taken multiple part-time jobs.


    There was once where Walter was injured in a fight among rival gangs. Back then, Carol carried him on


    her back all the way to look for Leslie.


    At that time, Leslie was not around. Carol had knelt outside waiting for him for an entire day and night.


    Moreover, it was also raining heavily those two days.


    Naomi happened to see them when she came back from her daily practice. Upon understanding the


    situation, she quickly apanied them to the hospital.


    After getting to know Walter''s disposition, Naomi understood that their dream was to have a small shop


    of their own.


    Hence, she was inspired to establish a shop for them. On that very street, she managed to gather most


    of Leslie''s subordinates to turn into a new leaf and work in entirely new careers.


    They lived a happy life after that. Everyone was very grateful to her and would wee her


    enthusiastically upon seeing her.


    asionally, they would tell jokes, saying that she was their saviour and angel sent from the heavens.


    Naomi didn''t take it too seriously because she didn''t help them out of need for fame or recognition.


    What she wanted was nothing more than a clear conscience.


    However, Naomi didn''t expect that they would turn against her one day.


    She thought they would have an unwavering trust in each other.


    Naomi clenched her fists so hard that even her fingernails were sinking into her flesh, but she could not


    feel the pain at all.


    She could only hear thewyer''s questions directed at Carol.


    "You''re here today to testify on behalf of your husband, aren''t you?"


    Carol nodded and replied, "Yes!"


    "Can you swear that everything you say is true?"


    Carol nodded again and said, "Yes!"


    "Very good. Then tell me now, were your husband''s actions personal? Or was he forced by his


    superior? If so, who is the superior that gave him the order? And is the person in question present at


    the scene today?"


    Everyone cast their gazes at Naomi, especially those who had been admonished by Nelson. They were


    feeling smug, prepared for a turnaround to take ce. They couldn''t wait but see Naomi embarrassed.


    However, Naomi took no notice of their gloating expression. She braced herself for the uing


    usation and looked at Carol.


    Meanwhile, Carol also raised her head to look at her.


    When their eyes met, Naomi''s body tensed up right away.


    Nelson stretched out his hand and held hers. He said to her, "It will be okay."


    Silently, he used his other hand to send a message to Richard, who was waiting outside.


    "The situation here doesn''t look good. Is the person I asked you to seek out on standby with you now?


    Wait for my message and be ready toe in and testify!"


    Seeing that Carol was looking in Naomi''s direction, thewyer asked her directly.


    "Is she your husband''s superior?"


    Carol nodded and said, "Yes!"


    All the people at the scene gasped in shock while thewyer continued to ask her another question.


    "So, is she the one who forced your husband tomit such acts of wrongdoing?"


    At the same time, Monique, who was sitting in thest row, watched this scene gleefully. Being


    incriminated was not a small matter.


    If Naomi was implicated in the crime, the Granger family''s reputation would definitely be tarnished.


    By then, Amos would not be free to deal with her anymore. On the contrary, she would have a chance


    to bring down the Granger family once and


    for all.


    Monique felt smug as thewyer repeated his question.


    "Is she the one who forced your husband?"


    Everybody was eager to see how the Granger family''s good name would be sullied, but they didn''t


    expect Carol to shake her head and deny the usations.


    "No!"
