The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 225 Someone Roofied Him

"Impossible? Are you the expert here, or I am the expert?" The testing staff rolled his eyes at Mandy before moving on exasperatedly, "Don't send me this kind of funny stuff again, or else I’ll get very angry."

After that, he left the court.

The testing staff was the most outstanding expert in the court. This time, since the case involved the Jenkins and the Shaws, they decided to hand him the evidence for examination.

None of them would have imagined that the so-called solid evidence that Mandy handed in was fake.

The judge was furious as well, "Ms. Ainsley, you think you can fool all of us by using a special pigment to replace real blood? What are we to you? Some kind of moron? Do you know that we can charge you with fabricating evidence?"

"No... This can't be..." Mandy wanted to explain herself, but she did not know where to start. She presumably believed everything Jade said was the truth. Besides, she also found the photo, so she naturally thought the blood on the pearl was real. Who could have thought that it was just some kind of special pigment?

'Could it be that Jade is lying to me? Or is there another mystery in this matter?'

Mandy felt she was going to explode.

"Ms. Ainsley, do you have other pieces of evidence? If not, I'll have to announce the verdict now. Besides, as a reminder for you, Ms. Ainsley, falsely accusing other people of murder is a serious offense that will leave you in jail for a couple of years," the judge’s voice became stern as he felt that Mandy was making fun of him.

"I—I didn't frame her!" Mandy became flustered.

"Then do you have any evidence to hand in?"

"I... I..." Mandy’s gaze hopped from the judge's cold face to Susan's calm face and finally stopped at Luke’s indifferent expression. She gritted her teeth and said," I don't know what's wrong with the earring, something must have gone wrong midway. I didn't falsely accuse her of murder. Richard Jenkins's death must be related to her. I don't have anything else to show, but I have a witness!"

"Then let's summon the witness," the judge said.

It was only then that Mandy let out a long sigh of relief. She hastily gave the people from the court the address to find Jade.

'Witness?' Madam Jenkins's heart somersaulted. She had been very anxious recently. She tried to get to Jade, her former trusted confidant, but she could not reach her.

Right now, Mandy suddenly said that she had a witness...

A bad foreboding rose from within her. While she was lost in her thought, she sensed somebody looking at her.

She turned towards the direction and realized it was Julian who was looking at her with a knowing look.

Julian just glanced at her, and he soon withdrew his glance, but fear began to fill Madam Jenkins's heart.

She had a hunch that things were slowly getting out o f control. She even had the urge to exit the court right now, but she pressed down the impulse.

Don't fret,' she commanded herself. ‘Even if Jade were here, she’s her trusted confidant. She would never betray me.' Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jade was Mandy's final trump card. She was waiting not far away, so the people from the court soon brought her over.

The moment Jade appeared in Madam Jenkins’s sight, her body shook.

"Mom," Charlotte was stunned as well. She involuntarily cast a glance at Madam Jenkins.

"How did that slut get to Jade?" Madam Jenkins hissed through an undertone.

She began to regret it. She should not have let her compassion get the best of her and let Jade go so easily. Jade knew so many things and secrets about her, and she should have made her unable to open her mouth ever again.

But now, it was already too late. She just hoped that Jade could be smarter and watch her mouth. After all, she never treated her shabbily throughout the year while she was still working as her maid, so there was no reason for her to betray her.

Madam Jenkins kept comforting herself, but her calm facade was already starting to crumble.

Luke was startled when he saw Madam Jenkins's paling face. He quickly asked, "What's wrong, Mom? Are you not feeling well?"

"I’m fine." Madam Jenkins forced a smile on her face." I'm just a little surprised that Mandy could find Jade."

Luke nodded. Then, he fell into his thoughts.

Mandy thought she was the first one who got to Jade, but he knew that Julian was the first one who found her.

Considering Julian’s manipulative nature, Luke was certain that it would not be so simple.

'I guess whatever Mandy's planning right now, she will not succeed,' Luke thought inwardly.

"She is my witness. She once worked for the Jenkins a s a maid, and she can help me prove that I’m right," Mandy announced. After that, she turned to Jade and said expectantly, "Tell them, Jade. Tell them the truth.”

"Witness. You may speak now,' the judge said.

Jade took a deep breath then she darted a sorry gaze a t Madam Jenkins.

'I'm sorry, Madam Jenkins. You can't blame me for this. Mr. Shaw is too scary. I really can't afford to offend him.'

Madam Jenkins's heart skipped a beat when she noticed Jade’s gaze.

However, before she could do anything, Jade already began to talk, "Indeed. Mr. Richard Jenkins did not die of natural causes. A person induced it."

"See. I'm not framing her." Mandy was overjoyed.

Jade pressed her lips thin and continued, "On that day, Ms. Shelby was taking a rest in a room. Then, I was instructed to lead Mr. Richard Jenkins into her room."

"Instructed?" The judge frowned, "On whose instruction?"

Madam Jenkins was so anxious that she almost jumped up.

'Could it be that Jade...'

Everything Jade was saying right now was different from what she told her previously. She looked quizzically at Jade and said, "What are you talking about, Jade? Just repeat everything you told me."

Jade paid her no mind and continued, "At that time, M s. Shelby was exhausted so she was resting on the bed. Before Mr. Richard Jenkins went into the room, h e had already been roofied with a psychedelic. Mr.

Richard Jenkins had been tortured by a serious headache for a long time, and after taking the drug, his brain became so active that it exceeded what he could handle. So, when Ms. Shelby gave him a light push after he entered the room, his brain burst and he died. Madam Jenkins said that Ms. Shelby was the murderer, but it’s actually a misunderstanding. In reality, Mr. Richard Jenkins was killed by the psychedelic and it has nothing to do with Ms. Shelby. The person who instructed me just wanted to frame M s. Shelby."

Jade finished her statement in one go.

Mandy was not able to come to her senses even after Jade had finished giving her statement. Even though she had exonerated her, she did not know why she was suddenly assaulted by a surge of inexplicable panic. 1

'What the hell is this? Mr. Richard Jenkins was killed b y a psychedelic?'

A murmur began to spread across the crowd. Everyone was taken aback by the sudden twist of events.

"Isn’t this witness here to testify against Susan? But now not only has she cleared her of suspicion, she even twisted the entire event?”

"Dad was roofied by someone?" Luke shot up, his gaze intense.

He knew Susan did not kill his father. So it turned out

that his father was killed by somebody else and that person shifted the blame onto Susan. 1

"Who instructed you? Tell us now!" Luke shouted.

"Silence!" the judge said. Then, he looked at Jade and asked, "Who is the one that instructed you? And what kind of evidence do you have to prove your words?”

Madam Jenkins suddenly stood up and shouted, "No! She doesn't have any proof! She's lying!"
