Ste Grace stood at the bow with a white windbreaker on, but her face was still numb from the cold.
She looked to the east. The sky was turning bright and then red gradually. The sun rose from the clouds, shining brightly.
No matter what the result was going to be, she should go to the military court and apany Jasper in his final days. Perhaps, this was theirst chance to meet.
She turned around and saw Elvis Zachary standing on the dock andlooking at her worriedlywith Steper in his arms.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Ste went out.
She stroked the dog’s head and said thoughtfully, “Elvis, I’ll leave Steper to you in the future.”
“You and the Chief will definitely be able to get through this safely. Nothing bad will happen to you both,” Elvisforted Ste.
“It had never lived a good life when it was with me. Now, I am not able to take care of it anymore,” Ste looked up at Elvis and said, “Did the Dark Shadow seed?”
Elvis looked a little distressed, “We found out through the God’s Eyes that Frederick had hidden Linda. We don’t know where she is right now.”
Ste’s lips twitched, “Maybe this is destined. Forget it, ask the members of Dark Shadow to retreat. We are running out of time now. Even if we do find out where she is, we still need to worry about the traps that were set by Frederick.”
“We will try our best to fight until the veryst moment,” Elvis confirmed.
“That’s up to you then. What about Jasper? When will he go to the military court?” Ste asked.
“If everything goes as nned, he will probably be brought to court at 10 a. m.,”
“Could you arrange for me to attend the trial?” Ste asked.
Elvis nodded and said, “You, the Madam, and Chief Levis will be attending the trial. Other people will be denied entry. I came here to pick you up.”
“Okay,” Ste responded and picked Steper up, “Let’s go then.”
The court was set in the Cab. Quinn Zellweger was the judge,and the juries were Sean Yaleman, Zoahs Davis, Travis Lanes, and Christian Saltzman. The five magnates had all arrived. It could be seen that Jasper was… highly valued by them.
Ste sat in the first row. Before Jasper came out, Suzi Shine held Ste’s handnervouslyand said, “Jasper should be fine. He has not done any bad deeds, right? It’s impossible that he had done those things. How could he wind up in the military court?”
Ste was unusually calm. After a while, Jasper came out of the room.
He looked at Ste deeply, while Ste smiled at him. She was not emotional and she was already mentally prepared for the result.
Jasper walked up to the dock.
“General Jasper Milton, did you participate in the rescue mission eight years ago? In this mission, all yourrades died. Only Hale Summer, you, and Bettany Hadley survived,” Zoahs asked directly.
“Yes,” Jasper did not deny it.
“Did you instruct Bettany to kill all the otherrades because someone had found out about the organization behind the mission?This organization being one which carried out illegal favors for you,” Zoahs continued to ask.
“No,” Jasper answered directly.
“Please ask Bettany toe in,” Zoahs said in a low voice.
The door opened and someone brought Bettany in.
Ste did not turn her head. Suzi was emotional. She rushed up to Bettany and questioned harshly, “I treated you so well. Why are you framing my son?”
“Guards, keep the order,” Christian said sternly.
A guard drove Suzi out of the courtroom.
Ste looked at Christian. He was younger than she thought and he lookedabout thirty-five years old. He was not handsome, but he had a good temperament. His eyes were sharp and keen. He seemed to be a chauvinist. He was self-opinionated and arrogant. His gaze was filled with ambition as well as murderous intent.
“Bettany Hadley, did you kill yourrades ording to Jasper’s orders?” Zoahs asked incisively.
Bettany looked towards Ste.
Ste looked at her calmly.
She nced around and looked at Zoahs, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“What?” Zoahs was shocked and he looked at Bettany in surprise, “Didn’t you say that Jasper was the one who asked you to kill them? I have a recording here.”
“I also said that Frederick had ordered me to do it and that was recorded too,” Bettany said indifferently.
“How dare you! You are toying with thew. Who is it? Who ordered you to kill those people?” Zoahs stood up angrily and pointed at Bettany.
“I remember now. It was you who had incited me because you hated Jasper. Jasper dumped your daughter, so you asked me to lie to frame Jasper,” Bettany said with her eyes wide open.
“You must be crazy. You’re spouting nonsense!” Zoahs was so angry that he foamed at the mouth.
“Crazy?” Bettany’s eyes were flickering. She clutched her stomach and said anxiously, “Where’s my child?”
Zoahs frowned, “What do you mean?”
“My child. Where did my child go? They injected drugs into my body and asked me to frame Jasper. I, I don’t know anything, I was innocent. I don’t know anything,” Bettany squatted down and held her head. She was shivering in a trance.
“Zoahs, it turns out that you had ordered her to frame Jasper,” Ste stood up, stared at Zoahs firmly, and used him.
“Nonsense, this woman has gone crazy. How could we believe what she said?” Zoahs retorted immediately.
“She is crazy now, but she was not mad before. What she said was recorded,” Christian frowned and said.
“Are you talking about the recording where she said she was ordered by Frederick or the one that she imed she was instructed by Jasper?” Ste asked Christian.
“Didn’t you kidnap her son and forced her to say that it was Frederick who did it so that you could frame Frederick?” Christian said annoyingly.
“Your Excellencies, please recall a detail. Hale Summer had been under Jasper’s control since long ago. At that time, Hale was being wanted as a spy. If this matter was done by Jasper, why didn’t he kill Hale directly and bury this matterpletely?” Ste asked.
“Jasper is crafty. He must be trying to frame Frederick,” Christian said.
“Why did he want to frame Frederick? You’re the strange one here. Why did you insist that it was Jasper who did it, but why do you not suspect Frederick at all? Could it be that you are the boss behind Frederick, the mastermind behind that organization?” Ste said directly.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
A murderous look shed across Christian’s eyes and he said harshly, “How dare you!”
“Otherwise, I really couldn’t think of any other reason for Jasper to frame Frederick,” Ste said fearlessly.
“Back then, Jasper snatched Frederick’s ex-wife, and Frederick then snatched Jasper’s ex-wife too. They had grudges against each other and everyone knows all about it,” Christian said confidently.
“Alright.” Sean said, “Now, the key witness has gone crazy. She keeps changing her words. One moment she said that it was Frederick who had instructed her to do so. The next moment, she said that it wasJasper, and now she said that it was Zoahs. I guess, she would probably say that it was me who did it next. Her words are no longer credible. I believe that the trial hase to a halt. Let’s talk about it after she has recovered.”
