Chapter 349 Verdict of Shadows
The defendant's lawyer stated with a stern expression, "Our client has been on psychotropic medication for three years, which means she could not control her actions during the incidents in question."
He then presented the psychiatric evaluation report. Frey's face darkened as a wave of nausea overcame her.
The irony was almost unbearable as she was the one truly suffering and in need of treatment, yet it was she who had been guilt-tripped by her torturer.
Her hands trembled slightly as she glared at Abigail. For a moment, she was tempted to lunge at her, which might have offered some twisted sense of satisfaction.
Just as Frey was about to act on her impulse, her lawyer intervened, grabbing her arm. "Ms. Frey, calm down!"
Frey took deep breaths, her eyes locked on Abigail in the dock.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside the courtroom.
"Quiet! What's happening?" The judge's face was stern. The day's proceedings had already been chaotic enough.
"I have evidence proving that Ms. Abigail is not mentally ill!" came a chilling voice.
The courtroom fell silent as Nathaniel's imposing figure appeared. His unexpected arrival stunned everyone, as his involvement had not been anticipated.
Frey was taken aback and speechless, while Abigail's face turned an alarming shade of pale.
Her gaze remained fixed on Nathaniel, who was now walking toward the audience. The pain in her heart was palpable.
Despite her connection to Nathaniel through Michael's schemes, and despite her belief that no man was beyond her reach, she had been thoroughly defeated by Nathaniel.
Nathaniel's arrival with new evidence seemed to signal a fatal blow for her.
Frey's lawyer quickly reviewed the documents handed over by Koen, and his eyes brightened with realization.
The defendant's lawyer appeared flustered, his curiosity piqued about this new evidence that could be devastating for his client.
The plaintiff's lawyer stood up and presented the documents to the judge.
"You are obstructing the judicial process!" the defendant's lawyer objected.
"Your Honor, these people should be expelled from the court!"noveldrama
"The laws of our country permit the submission of new evidence that could alter the facts of the case during the trial," the plaintiff's lawyer retorted, "This evidence includes à record of Ms. Abigail arranging for our client to be hit by a car last year. The driver had a close relationship with Ms. Abigail."
He continued, "This includes their call records, which we can publicly listen to. Isn't that Ms. Abigail's voice?"
He added, "Moreover, the doctor
who conducted Ms. Abigail's mental evaluation has been detained by the police. He graduated from a dubious institution abroad and lacks the credentials to perform such
evaluations. His medical license is
also questionable." Content belongs
"We argue that the defendant committed a premeditated crime, and a psychiatric evaluation is unnecessary. To subject the victim to further humiliation is unjust!"
The courtroom fell silent. Nathaniel's
evidence proved crucial, and the
swift capture of the doctor
demonstrated a level of power and
resources that no other family in Saeville could match.
Abigail looked at Nathaniel, her voice trembling. "Nathaniel, do you really have to be so merciless?"
