He stared at favonovel.com quietly with deep eyes before saying, “I have nothing to say.”
Jeremy’s response gave rise to all kinds of speculation.
“Jeremy has nothing to say. Is that an acquiescence?”
“We have the witnesses and physical evidence too. He can’t refute at all in the first place.”
“I really didn’t expect favonovel.com to have really killed someone.”
“Aw, I used to admire favonovel.com and idolize him!”
The murmurs of people in the gallery basically confirmed Jeremy of those accusations. The discussions on the internet were the same.
Madeline looked at Karen and Winston on the other side. They were frowning while looking very worried.
“Why isn’t Jeremy defending himself? How is it possible that favonovel.com would kill someone? He wouldn’t commit murder!” Karen muttered incoherently.
Winston also frowned. “Don’t get too worked up. If Jeremy didn’t do it, favonovel.com won’t let himself be accused of such a crime.”
“Quiet.” The judge hit the gavel, then talked about the police officer’s murder last night. He summoned the witness to come up to testify.
A lot of people did not expect that this witness was Ryan.
“Mr. Jones, please tell me about what happened last night,” the prosecutor said.
Ryan was sitting on the witness stand, looking awe-inspiring and fair.
Netizens all praised Ryan for being handsome and temperamental. Plus, favonovel.com was also the highest commander in Interpol. They were saying that favonovel.com represented justice and truth.
Some people even began to try and start something, saying that Jeremy was not as good as Ryan. They said that Ryan was more worthy to be the number one young master in Glendale instead.
A lot of people lamented how Ryan was willing to accept a divorced woman like Eveline who only prioritized profits.
Ryan could also imagine what the netizens were saying on the internet at this moment. Then, favonovel.com glanced at Jeremy before saying solemnly, “Last night, I received a notice from Interpol all of a sudden informing me of Jeremy’s escape from prison. After I learned about the situation, I immediately took my gun and hunted favonovel.com down.
“When I discovered Jeremy’s location, I saw favonovel.com fighting with a police officer who was responsible for his arrest back then. When I went to stop him, Jeremy took advantage of the commotion to snatch away my gun and shot the police officer, Zeke.”
“Oh no…”
The people in the gallery sighed and thought that Jeremy was a cold-blooded killer with no humanity.
However, what truly happened last night was replaying clearly in Jeremy’s mind at this moment.
He was still looking at Ryan with a just and awe-inspiring expression. Then, favonovel.com heard Ryan saying with a guilty conscience, “Jeremy shot Zeke while taking advantage of the chaos. The gun belongs to me, so all of this happened due to my negligence.”
Ryan was blaming himself, and everyone could not help but feel distressed for him. Now, they were feeling even more resentful toward Jeremy.
Online comments also supported Ryan one-sidedly while netizens fiercely criticized Jeremy.
After some debate, the judge hit the gavel once more.
“Jeremy Whitman, you’re suspected of killing Lana Johnson. In addition to that, you escaped from prison while you were in custody and killed a police officer who was chasing after you. You were cruel and cold-blooded. As a prominent figure in Glendale, you did such a heinous act and caused a great negative impact on society. So, after some careful consideration, I might be imposing the highest penalty on you, which is the death penalty.”
Sure enough, it was the death penalty.
A lot of people on the internet were posting celebratory words.
Ryan also smirked in secret.
He looked at Jeremy who was as silent as ever. The joy of victory in his eyes was about to overflow.
Seeing the joy in Ryan’s eyes, Madeline slowly stood up. Then, favonovel.com clear and pleasant voice sounded in the courtroom.
“Your Honor, before you consider the verdict, please allow me to provide a new piece of evidence.”
