Chapter 1251

The smile on Ryan’s face froze when Madeline suddenly said such a thing.

He turned his head to look at Madeline who was smiling and calm. Then, doubts started forming in his heart.

‘New evidence?

‘What new evidence is she going to provide?’

The judge looked at Madeline carefully. “Who are you?”

Madeline bowed politely. “I’m Jeremy Whitman’s wife, and my name is Eveline Montgomery.”

Ryan frowned when she heard Madeline’s self-introduction. The netizens watching the live broadcast and the people watching in the gallery were casting all kinds of weird glances and saying unkind remarks at Madeline once again.

Was this woman sick?

One second, she said that Jeremy was her husband. In the next second, she would be seen with Ryan.

Now, she was claiming to be Jeremy’s wife in court?

What the hell was going on?

The prosecution lawyer immediately stated, “Your Honor, unreviewed exhibits are not allowed to be shown in court. This is unreasonable!”

“The rules are dead but as humans, we’re flexible. If the truth is delayed because of this key evidence and innocent people are unnecessarily charged, will you bear the consequences?” Madeline said and calmly looked at the prosecutor.

Ryan looked at the calm and collected Madeline, suddenly sensing that something was wrong.

She seemed to have come prepared.

He had doubts in his heart, but he was not sure.

He looked at Madeline and tried to look into her eyes. However, her arrogant and calm gaze only scanned across his face indifferently before she looked into Jeremy’s eyes.

Madeline turned sideways to look at the man sitting beside her and stretched out her hand.

The man sitting next to her handed her some documents.

Ryan only just noticed that the person sitting next to Madeline was Jeremy’s assistant, Ken Baker!

Madeline took the documents and handed them to the staff.

“This is the clue I found when I accidentally entered the room where Lana was killed.” Madeline met Ryan’s confused eyes. “On the wall near where Lana collapsed, there were two bloody letters carved on it. Can everyone see what those two letters are?”

As Madeline’s voice fell, the big screen showed a wall stained with blood. There were carvings that wrote the letters ‘RJ’.

RJ?

Everyone was still wondering what those two letters meant when they heard Madeline’s affirmative answer.

“Ryan Jones,” she said confidently. Her eyes were sharp and domineering. “RJ is the abbreviation of Ryan’s name.”

“What…”

There was another wave of gasps from the people at the scene and on the internet.

Ryan looked at Madeline who said these words in disbelief. However, he was even more surprised that Lana had carved such things before she died.

“Objection!” Before Ryan could speak, the prosecutor overturned Madeline’s evidence. “Miss Montgomery, you said you entered the deceased’s room by accident. When did you accidentally enter the room? Was there anyone else at the scene? If there wasn’t, we can assume that you forged evidence in order to exonerate Jeremy Whitman from the crime.”

“There are bloodstains on the wall as well as those letters. I believe Lana’s fingerprints can be found on the wall as well. If I’m the one who forged this, I would have to wipe my fingerprints away after. Then, the fingerprints left by Lana would be removed and destroyed by me, but I can tell you with certainty that Lana’s fingerprints are still intact.”

“Um…” The prosecutor was startled and saw that the result of Madeline’s forensic appraisal was exactly the same as what Madeline said just now.

Ryan did not know where this was going now, but he knew he could not mess this up.

He furrowed his eyebrows and looked at Madeline tenderly. “Eveline, I know that you still have deep feelings for Jeremy and you really want to save him, but he has killed someone and is not worthy of you helping him falsifying evidence to clear him of the charges. You’ll ruin your life if you do this.”

Most netizens expressed that they were moved after listening to what Ryan said. Then, they started scolding Madeline even more violently for actually giving false evidence in court just to help Jeremy.
