Chapter 57

Shannon’s lawyer studied her. She looked as if she wasn’t going to speak. He turned and faced thejudge. Your Honor, my client has no objection. We have nothing to say.

Lea closed her eyes gently. She was agitated and her breathing was trembling.

The silent courtroom was filled with exclamations. Some people spoke softly. Although they loweredtheir voices, everyone’s emotions were revealed.

Even the jury expressed surprise and confusion. They had never seen a prisoner in court who didn’tsay a word or defend themselves

Expecially when it was a murderer who was facing heavy punishment.

Shannon’s lawyer actually did not speak up for her.

“Court is adjourned until the trial result is out. The judge rose and returned to his office.

The jury wem to the conference room to discuss the outcome.

The lobby suddenly became lively. Everyone discussed animatedly, especially a few mediareporters.

A person said. The murderer is Shannon!”

Another person said. Tve long heard that there’s more to this matter. So this is why

Someone else said, “Such an outstanding student like Miss Helen actually took the blame for sucha person.”

Someone said. “Helen is kind. We’ve already checked in private. This Shannon is from a single–parent family. Her family is very poor. When she was young, she grew up freeloading off herneighbors. Her mother is sick and has been living in Fraley Hospital. Miss Helen paid for all themedicine in the hospital. They were classmates for three years. Miss Helen has always taken goodcare of her

Another person said, “Wow! A kind little angel like Miss Helen is so rare! No wonder she refused totell the truth. At this point, she’s still helping her classmates. It’s a pity that Shannon is too evil andlet her down.”

Someone else answered, That’s right. What kind of good person can come out of that kind of low–level environment?”

Not only were the reporters discussing it, but they were also writing articles about It They wereprepared to release it when the trial results were out later.

Matilda crossed her arms and looked at her daughter when she heard these voices. The corners ofher mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were filled with smiles,

She thought, “That’s right. That’s how it works. Not only will I bring Helen back innocem, but I alsowant to give her the image of a kind and helpful girl. I want to make this a stepping stone for Helenand let her rise step by step.

Matilda looked at Helen in a good mood.

Helen also looked up at her. The smugness and joy on her face could not help but show. But in theblink of an eye, it faced,

This was a serious occasion, and she still had to maintain her image

Seeing the proud faces of Helen and Matilda, Lea was so angry that she gripped her phone tightly.

Helen raised her eyes and looked at Lea. When she saw her sitting beside Christian, her eyesturned red for a moment, but she quickly changed her expression and looked at Lea provocatively

She thought, “See, I have killed a person. However, I will be fine. I failed last time. After I comeback this time, there will be plenty of chances. I will not be so stupid as to fall into your traps again,Lea. I don’t believe that you are so lucky to be able to escape every time.

Seeing Helen looking at Lea, Matilda turned around and looked at Lea as well. The gaze behind hersunglasses was as cold as a knife.

Lea looked back at them with a cold expression.

Soon, the judge returned to his seat, and the jury returned to their seats. Their results had beenpassed to the judge.

the end, the judge announced the outcome of the trial. As everyone had expected, Shannon wassentenced to life imprisonment.

In the

Helen was released immediately. A hint of excitement appeared on her face. When she sawsomeone looking at her, she immediately looked at the sentenced Shannon with a pitifulexpression.

Matilda let out a long sigh of relief. She looked at Shannon and saw that she had her head loweredand was being held by the staff like a log.

Suddenly, she frowned.

She wanted to pressure the court to sentence Shannon to death.

Only when Shannon was dead could the truth be hidden forever, and Helen would be safe.

However, it did not matter now. The prison was a place that was more convenient for her to operathings behind the scenes.

Shannon was sentenced to life imprisonment at such a young age. The probability of such aperson committing suicide in prison was very high.

“Miss Helen, congratulations!” A reporter stepped forward and took a photo of Helen. “Everyonemisunderstood you. The people who attacked you online all owe you an apology”

A person said. “The truth has been announced to the public. The misunderstanding has beencleared up. Everyone will apologize to you” Someone else said, “Everyone will see you as a kindand helpful person. They will look up to you.”

Helen was overwhelmed with emotions when she heard this.

Because of the murder, she became the center of attention on the Internet

Now that she was acquitted, coupled with the good angel persona of helping her classmates andtheir families, her image had changed drastically. She was extremely popular and had alreadysurpassed A list celebrities

She had always wanted to be a superstar. There was no better opportunity than this

After she went out, with her current popularity and image, there would be many variety showsbegging her to participate. Then, she would get her mother to invest in a few movies and television

dramas for her to be the protagonist. Then, she would shoot magazine covers and fashionendorsements,

She would become a phenomenal superstar in the shortest time possible.

Helen looked up and inadvertently saw Shannon being escorted away. She thought. If Shannondied, she would never tell the truth. Then, I would be able to completely get rid of this matter. If Ihad known, I would have told Mom and sentenced her to death. No, I have to let Mom think of away to let Shannon die in prison as soon as possible.

Shannon was escorted by the prison guant. Just as she was about to walk out of the courtroom,Lily’s mother pounced on her, grabbed her by the hair, and beat her up. “You devil! You killed mydaughter! Go to hell and pay with your life for my daughter!”

Simon also rushed up and punched her in the head.

Shannon felt a heavy blow to her temple. Her vision turned black and she almost fainted

In the end, it was the police officers escorting her who pulled Lily’s parents away. Her hair wasdisheveled and her face was scratched. She was in a Sorry state

The police officer then escorted her out.

Matilda watched her leave and completely relaxed. She turned to look at Christian. A kind smileappeared on his face. He was very happy.

The corners of her lips curled up into a victorious smile. She stood up and went forward. Shesqueezed past the reporters surrounding Helen and reached out to hug her daughter’s shoulder toprotect her.

“This is a court of law. Please remain silent. We will not be interviewed. With that, she left withHelen. The bodyguards came forward and followed behind to protect them.

be was sharp.

Christian stood up and saw that Lea was still sitting upright. Her expression was cold and his gaze

She thought, “Ever since she moved into the residence with me, other than the initial complaintagainst Matilda, she rarely revealed her emotions. Could it be that she is unhappy that Helen hasbeen acquitted”

Christian’s mood became heavy.

Lea was his granddaughter, and so was Helen. Matilda was the Berry family’s daughter. He didn’twant any conflict between them to affect his family.

Lea did not have much emotion about Helen’s acquittal.

If Helen was sentenced to life imprisonment so easily, then Matilda would be very useless.

This way, Helen would be destroyed too easily. It would be too easy for her.

Lea wanted to slowly toy with Helen to death and make her lose the halo of the Berry family andMatilda’s love. She wanted Helen to suffer

setbacks time and time again, see hope again and again, and fall into despair and madness againand again. She wanted Helen to wish that she was dead.

She was so angry because of Shannon, and also because she hated Matilda and her
