Chapter 23
23 Questioning Maya 2
“Miss Maya, where were you when Miss Jeslyn was crying for help?” D
“She wasn’t calling for help, she was cleaning the evidence!”
“So, you were there.”
“Yes, I was.”
“Doing what?”
“Nothing.”
#
“Interesting… so, your boss was cleaning her evidence and you were standing by the stairs, doing
nothing… note that, your honor.”
“Yes, I wasn’t doing anything, I was shocked.”
“Or you were recording?”
“Huh?”
“You heard me. You were recording while she was ‘killing’ her grandfather and also cleaning the
evidence.”
“No, I wasn’t!”
“ording to your statements, Jeslyn killed her grandfather and you were the only one there to witness
it, and it so happens that there was a video of that scene that was yed a while ago. So in other
words, you recorded it.”
“Someone else could have done that.”
“The angle for where the video was taken, was exactly where you were standing, bedside the stairs.”
“Someone else could have beening from the stairs, Miss Christine was also home and she-” “Miss
Christine was ‘in the shower’. We already proved that.” 5
“By the way, I mustmend your videoing skill, it was brilliant… your honor-” (2
“I didn’t do that, I don’t know how to do that!”
“But you did and I’m sure of it because you work in the entertainment industry. Hahaha.”
“Yes, I might work in the entertainment Industry, but I don’t know how to fake a video-” she widened her
eyes in horror at her mistake and slowly looked at thewyer standing in front of her, hoping he didn’t
hear that. (6)
Everyone whipped their heads to look at her with bulging eyes.
“Hahaha…Your honor, she just admitted the video was faked.”
The judge sighed before writing down what he wanted.
This court is adjourned until 2:00 PM. The judge dered and hit the gravel.

“Court rise!” The judicial assistant cried out in a loud voice.
Everyone stood up in respect for the judge who got up and walked out of the room.
The man was hungry, so he needed to eat.
Jeslyn and Spid walked out of the room, ignoring the stares from everyone.

“You only drank milk tea this morning, don’t you feel hungry?” Spid asked her.
“No, I’m not.” Jeslyn shook her head as they walked towards an office.
How could she feel hungry when she was feeling excited?
“How dare you all?!”
“We are sorry, Miss.”
“You are sorry? Do you know what will happen if she is let out?!”
Lawyer An stayed silent. He knew what would happen, but what could he do?
The young Miss was just yelling and using them of beingzy from aptop, not knowing how hard
it really is to fight against that man in a mask.
“Christine,”
“O-lder sister…” Christine flinched.
“You are a disappointment!”
“S-sister I’m sorry, that man was-”
“Shut up! Don’t give me excuses. I saw it all. I watched the damn trial! Why couldn’t you tell him went
out to see your boyfriend? I could have arranged for a boy to stand as your boyfriend immediately, you
fool!” The young Miss turned to look at Maya with rage in her eyes.
“Maya, what did I put you there for?”
“I’m sorry Miss, I ruined everything”

“Why didn’t you allow them to call the hotel manager? I was already on a call with him and he agreed to
work with you, but you ruined it!”
“I’m sorry Miss, I was wrong”
“Oh, yes you were wrong, totally wrong and that is why you shall be the scapegoat for Christine.” “M-
miss?!” Maya looked with shock in her eyes. Her heart beating faster and faster against her ears. She
should take the fall? That means she would be sentenced for murdering the old man!
She immediately fell to her knees and started to kowtow with great trepidation. “Please Miss, spare me,
I beg you, please forgive me.”
“So, who will take the fall for your mistakes? If you hadn’t cowered at the man’s feet, you could have
be my assistant, but no, you failed and as the most worthless person in the group, you are
mandated to be the sacrificialmb, or else, your brother will be killed in the next 5 hours.
Maya stayed on her knees looking lifeless as tears slowly fell from her eyes. Her older brother,
although useless and only cares about himself, was the only family she didn’t want him to be dragged
into this mess.
She suddenly started to regret all the decisions she had made in regards to Jeslyn.
Jeslyn was the nicest person she knew and she never treated her like an assistant but in the end, her
revenge was all that mattered as she ignored humanity and held tightly to the knives that wanted to
chop the Lee family into pieces. 2
Now, her life was made to repay for the revenge she was able to carry out. She cleaned her face and
braced herself to be the sacrificialmb. Although she wasn’t happy that she’ll be going to prison, she
was d that she killed old man Lee, 2
The Miss sneered at Maya after seeing how she quickly epted her fate. She looked around the
office and didn’t see who she was looking for.
“Where is Ray?”
“He left,” Christine said.
After Ray was trialed and his secret was revealed to the world, he stormed out of the court. 2
The young Miss narrowed her phoenix eyes for a split second before she turned to look at the man.
that went withwyer An to the prison.
“If Jeslyn is about to bring up the property transfers, make her realize I’ll be publishing the threat. Not
just that, I have a lot of dirt on her, including the one on her high school graduation.” 1
“Ok, ma’am.” The man said with a bow.
She nced over at her mother and father with a condescending look before she snorted and the
laptop screen went nk.
The people in the room breathed a sigh of relief and turned their attention to Maya. She wasn’t crying
but was obviously feeling hurt.
