The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Axel spoke confidently, staring at Shannon with a piercing gaze. The intimidation of his eyes, which seemed like they could see
through her, was not a joke.
Shannon's heart thumped like drums, and she swallowed dryly. Hunter's heart tightened alongside.
He had heard of how the public prosecutor in Savrow, Axel, was extremely stubborn and hard to deal with.
Being a prosecutor was quite a sensitive and powerful role. Countless wealthy and influential people wanted to get one or two
prosecutors on their side, serving them during critical moments. Many prosecutors look upright and fair, but in truth, they helped
the conglomerates, entering into a mutually beneficial relationship.
But Axel was born with an overwhelming sense of justice and was also born into a wealthy conglomerate.
How could they try to bribe him? The spare change he carried in his pocket was probably more than what people could offer!
Axel presented the new evidence to the court.
A white pill bottle in a plastic evidence bag appeared on the screen immediately.
Shannon stared at the screen, her brows deeply furrowed as her face was full of surprise.
"Defendant, do you recognize this pill bottle?" Axel fixed his cold gaze on her as he questioned.
Shannon shook her head blankly. "No... I don't know what it is."
Axel could not help but sneer. His tone was both imposing and oppressive. "You don't know? This is your murder weapon. How
could you not know?"
Hunter's heart suddenly tightened. Even someone as cunning as him could not guess what Axel had up his sleeve.
"W-What murder weapon?! I've never killed someone. How could there be a weapon?! I don't know anything!" Shannon's
forehead was covered in cold sweat, but she remembered what Hunter had instructed her.
No matter what questions were thrown at her on the court, she could only deny them or feign ignorance. She must not dance to
their rhythm.
"Although the witness did not personally see your murder process, there were traces of your plan to poison the deceased."

Axel slightly narrowed his eyes. "You
might think it was impossible to search for evidence for a twenty-year-old case. But you are too naive A witness might be
unreliable, but as long as you don't destroy the physical evidence in time, it will stay there forever. It will not vanish or lie. Even if
you intend to destroy the evidence, our forensic technology has improved rapidly. What we couldn't uncover twenty years ago
was merely a piece of cake now."
Shannon's face turned ashen from fear, quickly recalling everything that happened in Mary's room twenty years ago.
She indeed planned to poison Mary, but she failed, as that bitch caught her in the act.
Then she got into a fierce fight with Mary. She always thought that Mary was a pushover who could not stand up for herself, but
Mary acted abnormally at that time, insisting on exposing her crimes. Content
Therefore, amidst the struggle, Shannon accidentally pushed Mary off the balcony.
Coincidentally, there was nobody around when Mary hit the ground. That woman lay in a pool of blood, eerily beautiful. Even her
death was as lovely as an oil painting with rich and vibrant colors. Shannon freaked out but still used her dress to immediately
wipe off her fingerprints on the balcony's railing and footprints on the ground, then brought the poison away from the crime
scene.
What other evidence could there be?
There could not be any evidence left at the scene!
