You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 431

"Is that so?" Hearing her reply, a smile of mockery flashed across Marcellus's face. He continued,

"Eleven years ago, you were only 20 years old. Would you have been able to reflect so calmly when

you were so young? Wouldn't you have tried to run away? Or maybe even try to get someone to be

imprisoned in your place?"

When Marcellus asked that question, Yoel seemed as if he had understood and he shouted in

opposition. However, the judge ruled out his opposition.

When Valerie heard Marcellus's question, she smiled calmly. "Yes, I wouldn't. Those who know me well

would know that I matured faster. I wouldn’t be immature when it comes to matters that require

thinking."

Seeing her attitude, Marcellus walked in front of Valerie. Then, he asked firmly, "Miss Valerie, are you

willing to be responsible for every word you say now?"

This was the first time that Marcellus had questioned Valerie in such a tone in the two court sessions.

Seeing that Marcellus was very serious, Valerie felt worried for a while, but soon she clenched her fists

and solemnly answered, "Yes, I am willing to be responsible for what I say."

This was what Valerie and Yoel had agree on.

She wouldn't admit it no matter what.

Anyway, Finley was dead and he was not able to be a witness. As long as she did not admit to it, no

one could do anything about it.

In fact, Cynthia had thought of this method. The recording was in the hands of the police and in fact, it

had already confirmed Valerie's crime. She could only deny it and talk about her family background.

There was still a glimmer of hope for her to survive.

However, there was only one unexpected situation that would bring Valerie down.

That is, to have another witness.

"Alright, if that's the case, I don't have any questions for now."

After Marcellus finished his words, he went back to his seat.

Coralie could clearly see that there was a trace of pride in Valerie's expression. She couldn't help but

grab Skylar's hand and ask, "Skylar, will she really be convicted? If she doesn't admit to it, would she

be exonerated of her crime?"

"No, she won't."

Skylar gently patted her hand and consoled her softly.

Coralie retracted her gaze and glanced around the hearing. She saw that Hector was not present and

Amelia was sitting in the first row.

There was another lady who sat three seats away from Amelia. She appeared very young and was

wearing a thin white coat. Her hair was combed up in a princess style, and on top of it was a beautiful

bow clip.

"Isn't that the lady whom Franklin had brought in when we got engaged last time?"

Coralie pointed to the lady and asked.

She remembered that she was called Lucille Jules, and she was still quite young. At that time, Franklin

had introduced her as his fiancee.

"Yes."

Skylar didn't seem surprised at all by the girl's presence.

"Why is she here?"

"You'll find out soon."

Skylar pulled Coralie close to his side and didn't say much to her.

Yoel once again spoke in a roguish way about Valerie's identity, status, education and so on. He

explained that it was impossible for Valerie to do such a thing, let alone collude with the kidnappers.

In the end, Yoel also explained the issue of the kidnapping in an even more shameless way. "Miss

Valerie and Finley knew each other, so it may be possible that Finley had mistakenly sent her the

message. Now that Finley is dead, no one can give an answer."

He appeared to be flawlessly using Finley's death to deny the evidence.

He wanted to help Valerie wash off her crimes.

In fact, at this time, Yoel's expression was very calm. He even felt like a genius. If he had successfully

won this tricky case, he could actually consider becoming an actual lawyer in the future.

However, at this time, Marcellus suddenly spoke, "We have other witnesses to prove that Valerie had

killed Hendrick Chariott 11 years ago, and the first thing that came to her mind was to find someone to

be her scapegoat."

When Marcellus said this, Valerie felt her legs weaken and her heart suddenly started to beat wildly!

Because when Marcellus said this, Valerie thought of a person! A person she had forgotten about

before!

"Alright."

After the judge agreed, the wooden door of the courtroom opened and in came Franklin Moore, who

was dressed in a light gray suit, with his hair slicked back. He appeared very energetic.

Valerie's face paled. She could no longer stand and she immediately kneeled onto the ground.

In fact, Valerie's behavior showed her admittance to what she had done eleven years ago.

When Yoel saw her like this, he wasn't nervous at all. On the contrary, he was very calm!

That way, he could completely push the responsibility of losing the lawsuit to Valerie because of her

lack of psychological endurance.

Franklin walked up and stood in the middle of the witness stand. He started, "Good afternoon to the

judges. My name is Franklin Moore. I have come to talk about what had happened eleven years ago."

"Okay, go on."

The judge nodded.

"When I was in high school, I liked Valerie a lot and went on a crazy pursuit for her. Everyone who

knows Valerie and I know this, but one night eleven years ago, Valerie suddenly came to me..."

"Don't... Don't say it..."

When Franklin began to talk about what had happened, Valerie croaked weakly.

"At that time, I didn't know what she was going to do. Valerie told me that she wanted to borrow my

bathroom, so I lent it to her. I didn't expect that she would come out of the bathroom without wearing

any clothes. She then begged me to help her..."

"Shut up! Stop talking!"

Just as Franklin was about to blurt out the matter, Valerie suddenly went crazy. There were two

policemen standing around her, but they did not expect Valerie to rush out. She had already rushed out

of her seat before they could stop her!

She was cuffed and pushed both her hands towards Franklin. "Franklin Moore, you said that you loved

me and were willing to do anything for me."

"Yes, I did say that, but I can't break the law for you."

Franklin was very calm.

Just then, the two policemen hurried over to hold her back.

"You men are all liars!" Valerie shouted out as she was dragged back by the police. "Franklin Moore,

you said that you would do anything for me, but you couldn't even do that!"

Valerie then looked at Skylar and continued to shout, "Skylar Holland, you said that you would protect

me back then, but you didn't do it either!"

"The trial will be adjourned!" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Seeing that Valerie had reacted that way, the judge knew that there was no way to continue the trial; he

could only announce an adjournment.

Yoel appeared very calm from the beginning to the end.

He knew that in this case, he didn't need to take the blame anymore. Valerie had admitted to the whole

thing herself.

Amelia sat at the seat and numbly looked in front. She sat there unmoving, because she knew that this

time, Valerie would definitely go to jail.

After Valerie was held down, the court was officially adjourned and the judges sat on their seats to

discuss the case.

Amelia walked up to Franklin in a few steps. Amelia raised her hand and was about to slap him when

Lucille suddenly stood up and stood in front of Franklin!

Slap!

A hard slap landed on Lucille and she stood in a daze.
