Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life

Chapter 23

Chapter 23 I Wish You Happiness

The audience inhaled in a sharp breath. Even real murderers usually don’t admit to their acts. Ben listened in shock.

Why would she say that! The judge looked at her, bewildered. “Defendant, you are on trial. Remember that each of your words weighs heavily.”

Jean looked into the judge’s eye. Gigi wanted her gone. Perhaps Edgar will finally let her family go if she admits to it. “Your Honor, I’m speaking the truth. This is what I genuinely think. I despise Gigi Reece. I hope she dies!”

The staff in charge of discipline led Ben out of the courtroom. Silence fell over the room.

The judge held his gaze on Jean, standing in her spot. “Defendant, are you sure that you had the intention of murder at the time of the event?”

Mr. Scott rose to his feet anxiously, trying to defend Jean. “Let the defendant speak,” the judge interjected. Jean glanced toward Gigi. As expected, Gigi was exhilarated. Does she believe she can take me down now?

On the other hand, Edgar frowned as if he worried about her. What a joke. “Yes, I admit it. I wanted to kill her.” Jean repeated her words.

Her resolute tone allowed no space for doubt. The lawyer wiped his sweat, regretful of the situation. As the trial adjourned, Jean’s hands were cuffed. She stopped in her tracks when she passed by the couple.

She continued toward the door and disappeared from their sight. Edgar’s eyes were fixed on her as she left. His heart felt heavy. She… admitted to it.

Noticing Edgar staring at the door, Gigi clasped his hand and pouted. “Edgar, what are you looking at? Jean is evil. I never thought that she wanted to kill me from the start! Fortunately, you acted quickly, Edgar…”

He listened to her words and felt disgusted. He had seen the security footage. Pulling his hand away, he stood up. “Let’s go home.”
