Chapter 253
At this moment, Ivan's mom, Karen Potts, began shouting from the witness box, "Melanie, you evil bitch. How has my family wronged you and Jessica?
"Ivan rarely went to the hospital because he was busy. However, hasn't he been to the hospital? Haven't I been to the hospital?
"In addition, your sister is still unconscious. Are you expecting us to take care of a comatose person 24/7? You bitch! How could you blame my son for harming and killing others? You deserve a horrible death!"
At Karen's offensive language, the judge banged his gravel and reminded her, "Witness, please watch your language and control your emotions. If not, we're going to need you to leave the court."
Karen sat down unwillingly upon the judge's reminder. It was as though she'd experienced extreme grievances, and Ivan was the one unconscious.
Once the witness box regained its silence, the judge asked Ivan, "Defendant, do you have anything to say in response to the speech of the plaintiff's lawyer?"
Ivan stood up and looked at Naomi. He said, "Sir, I don't think the lawyer is talking about me. I've never done anything she's accusing me of. I've never hit my wife, Jessica, let alone pushed her off the third floor.
Naomi asked, "Your wife, Jessica, was frequently wounded. Do you know that?"
Ivan responded, "I had no idea."
Naomi continued, "You live in such close proximity with her. You've never realized her wounds?"
Ivan replied disdainfully, "Who wants to examine her every day? Ms. Goodwin, I believe you when you say Jessica was hurt. I trust the validity of your médical reports and admit that she was wounded.
"However, I didn't cause her wounds. If you want to help her fight her battles, please find the perpetrator. Don't cast your suspicions randomly. If you do find them, I'll thank you for my wife."
In the plaintiff's box, Melanie couldn't hold herself back.
She stood up, looked at Ivan and said, "You're lying. My sister's wounds were so obvious. It's impossible that you were unaware.
"The fingerprints around her neck the day she fell were highly visible. My mom even asked you what happened."
Ivan glared coldly at Melanie. "You'll have to ask your sister about her wounds. Perhaps she's cheating on me behind my back and got pummeled by someone else."
Melanie was enraged upon hearing this. "Ivan, how could you doubt her like this? Are you even human?"
Ivan replied, "You think I've killed someone, so can't I suspect your sister of cheating? Who knows whether she committed suicide out of guilt?"

In the s stand, Jessica's mom, Kelly Gerard, wiped away tears upon hearing his words.
Jessica's dad, Marshall Coleman, shook with anger. How had he been blind enough to marry off his En daughter to someone like this?
The Colemans became even more suspicious that Jessica's wounds and fall had to do with Ivan based on his statements and attitude.
Ivan continued unashamedly, “Melanie, if you think I'm involved in your sister's death, please provide concrete evidence rather than trying to convict me solely with your empty words."
Melanie replied, "Alright, let us investigate your house. Do you dare to release your home surveillance En footage?"
Ivan said, "Based on your current attitude and suspicions, how would I dare to let you enter my home? My apologies. I still want to enjoy a few more years of freedom."
Melanie stated, "Ivan, you're feeling guilty now."This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
