Chapter 1252
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Karen and Winston were both shocked. Then, they looked at Madeline who was still calm while feeling puzzled.
âEveline, donât make the same mistakes again and again. Weâre in court.â It seemed that Ryan was persuading her in such a gentle and kind manner.
Madeline smiled profoundly. âRyan, I canât continue this act anymore and you donât have to as well.â
ââ¦â Ryan was stunned. While looking at Madeline who was proud and arrogant at this moment, he could not associate her with the heartbroken woman who drowned herself with alcohol that night.
It was all an act?
Her vulnerable side, her sadness, and her grief that night were all just an act?
âRyan, I knew you would say that Iâm forging evidence for Jeremy, but a lie is still a lie, after all. Lies will never prosper in the face of the truth.â
Ryan looked dispiritedly at Madeline who was standing not far away from him. Then, he saw her bending down to pick up a bag from Kenâs side.
His pupils shrank as he looked at the bag Madeline picked up in disbelief.
Seeing Ryanâs cracked face, Madeline carried the bag and walked to the witness stand. Then, she opened the bag in front of Ryan and took out the suit from it.
âRyan, you should be familiar with this, right?â
ââ¦â
âThis is the best evidence to prove that youâre the one who murdered Lana.â
ââ¦â
Ryan looked at the suit he had thrown into the river and came to a realization.
It turned out that Madeline was not asleep at that time.
She was only pretending to be asleep. She clearly saw him throwing the handbag into the river!
She had asked someone to salvage it!
âJudging from your face, you shouldâve figured it out by now.â Madeline then asked with a chuckle, âThis limited-edition tailored suit has your name hand-stitched on it. Why did you want to throw such a good suit into the river, Mr. Jones?â
ââ¦â
âIs it because of the smoke you left on it when you murdered Lana?â
Madelineâs words gradually solved everyoneâs doubts.
That was what was going on with the suit.
After Ryan heard that, his elegant face gradually became gloomy. Even the look in his eyes started to change.
Even though he was very upset at the moment, he still remained calm on the surface. However, his cold eyes were staring straight at Madeline.
âEveline, I only know now that youâve stolen my clothes. Did Jeremy manipulate you into doing this to help him cover his crimes?â
Since Ryan still wanted to argue, Madeline took out her phone. âRyan, since you still refuse to admit it, then I will show you an interesting video.
âThis is evidence provided by one of the residents living in the building opposite Glendale Hotel. Since he was on a business trip a while ago, he had just returned home yesterday. When he was checking the surveillance footage on his security camera, he accidentally discovered that it had captured the scene of Lana being killed that night.â
ââ¦â
What?
How could such a coincidence happen?
Ryan was in disbelief, but in retrospect, it seemed that he had forgotten to close the curtains when he killed Lana that day.
At this moment, Madeline sent the video to the staff in court. Then, the scene from that day appeared on the big screenâ¦
