Chapter 493

Tanya hadn’t expected Esther to present such compelling evidence. It made sense why Esther had kept the evidence secret, not revealing it prematurely to maximize its impact. This proved her innocence!

“Your Honor, this video is enough to show my client’s innocence. Please consider her situation…”

Esther and Bradley were once close, but with the emergence of this exonerating video, they seemed miles apart. Bradley’s long-held anger toward Esther now seemed trivial.

Esther glanced at Bradley, sitting across from her, still handsome but no longer stirring her heart. Her only focus was on proving her innocence and regaining custody of her child. From now on, she and Bradley were better off as strangers.

“The court is adjourned,” the judge said.

During the recess, Tanya held Esther’s hand, saying, “We’re definitely winning!”

To Esther, relaxation couldn’t happen until the final verdict was delivered. “The final verdict. is yet to come. We can’t lower our guard.”

Oliver, a reassuring presence, stood before Esther. “Esther, you might face another legal battle.”

Years ago, Esther had refused to admit guilt based solely on a video and ended up in prison. To overturn that conviction, she had to fight another legal battle to prove her innocence.

“Uncle Oliver, I proclaimed my innocence in court back then. Now, I’m going to prove it. I can’t let Felix grow up with a convicted mother,” she replied.

Jasper was genuinely happy for Esther. “Esther, do you feel relieved now?”

Esther smiled beautifully. “I feel like all my shackles have been removed!”

In fact, everyone there knew that even if Esther could get a new trial and prove her innocence, those five years she had spent in prison could never be replaced. Her most cherished time had been wasted in prison. The pain she had endured during that period would always be a part of her life.

Meanwhile, the legal team cautiously observed Bradley, who was frowning intensely. They hadn’t anticipated Esther having such evidence, let alone uncovering a flaw in the video from. five years back.

“Mr. Warner, we can still appeal!”

Bradley’s cold gaze swept over the lawyers, and he retorted, “Will appealing guarantee a win?”

The lawyers remained silent.

Bradley stood up and approached Esther.

Jasper instinctively stepped before Esther and coldly warned, “Bradley, what do you want?”

Bradley placed his hand on Jasper’s shoulder, his tone icy. “Jasper, my divorce with Esther hasn’t been finalized yet. Put away your eagerness to take over. It disgusts me.”

Oliver looked at him mockingly. “Warner, are you unable to accept defeat?” Bradley sneered. “Mr. Quill, are you sure Esther is your sister’s daughter?”
