Chapter 1016 The Real Culprit
At the thought of this, she said between clenched teeth, “Don’t you ever think of framing me for the incident. It wasn’t me who did it!” Seeing her agitated demeanor, Sofia grew somewhat hesitant. Could Susan have actually been wronged?
On the other hand, Eunice was alarmed when she noticed the look of hesitation on her mentor’s face. Crap, she thought to herself before immediately stepping forward to sneer at Susan. “Don’t forget that you’re also a member of our orchestra and one of our own. What gives you the right to cry foul here after doing such a shameless thing?”
Upon hearing this, Susan immediately eyed her with a gaze that was both hostile and slightly frosty. Then, in a flash of revelation, she seemed to have something figured out. Suddenly, she let out a sneer, saying, “Well, well, I never thought you were so good at keeping your cards close to your chest!”
Eunice frowned. For some reason, she grew a little uneasy deep down. “I don’t understand what nonsense you’re talking about. I’d advise you to just plead guilty.” She suppressed her inner anxiety while looking at Susan haughtily. The instant their eyes met, it was as though there were real sparks flickering and flying between them.
Susan sneered. “Why should I plead guilty for something that I never did? Miss Eunice, do you really think I have no idea who the mastermind behind the incident was?” she said, pausing between each word toward the end of her speech. Eunice, who was already feeling somewhat unnerved, panicked even more at this moment.
However, Susan forestalled her and spoke before she could say anything. “You love Tessa’s husband, so you grew jealous of her and wanted to get rid of her to become his wife. That’s why you plotted the stage incident in an attempt to kill her along with her baby.
Since I had set her up before, you decided to simply make me a scapegoat for it. However, even if this case goes to the police, I won’t plead guilty for something that I never did.” Hearing these words, the others frowned and looked at Eunice with suspicion.
Sensing their gaze upon her, Eunice balled her fists and forced herself to remain calm. All the evidence points to her at the moment. As long as I don’t admit it, I’ll have nothing to do with it. At the thought of this, she inhaled secretly before replying with disdain, “Stop throwing mud at me here! And besides, whether you admit it or not, you’ve been caught in the act now…”
Looking at the vaguely smug woman before her, Susan curled her lips into a sneer. She mocked, “What sort of witness testimony is that? He might’ve been bribed by somebody into framing me for it.” As she spoke, she stared fixedly at Eunice with dark, sinister eyes.
The moment she saw this, Eunice felt as though she were being stared at by a venomous snake. It sent a chill down her spine, and she felt very guilty and scared, with a feeling that she’d been seen through.
Susan’s icy and determined voice reached her ears again. “I admit that I drugged Tessa, but it wasn’t me who plotted the stage incident. Don’t try to pin it on me!”
As soon as she finished her speech, there was a knock on the door to the ward. Then, a smart-looking man pushed the door open and came in in a suit and leather shoes.
At the sight of this, Kellen asked with a frown, “Who are you looking for?”
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Albert Potelle, Miss Susan’s attorney.” Albert gave a simple self-introduction before walking toward Susan right away.
As it turned out, Susan had signaled the nurse to inform her father when Sofia and others came over. Due to his status, Rorion couldn’t step in personally, so he hired an attorney for her instead. At any rate, he wouldn’t let his daughter suffer in the slightest.
Although Susan was unaware of these things, she sighed with relief when Albert showed up. At least I don’t have to face these people alone. In an instant, her back straightened again. Facing Sofia and others, she said coldly, “Now that my attorney is here, you guys can talk to him if you want to press charges against me.”
The instant she said that, Albert stepped forward to find out about the situation. After learning of what had happened, he defended his client with great professionalism, saying, “As my client said, it’s impossible to have her convicted with the one-sided testimony of this stage operator alone. So, if you guys want to hold her responsible for the incident, please produce substantial proof of it.”
