Chapter 284 The Official Court Session

But this time, because of me, Michael had no choice but to be involved in this case.

This also made many people inside and outside the royal family focus on him. However, we were not afraid of that. Justice was on our side. My and Michael’s request was very simple. We wanted to give Joanna a fair trial for everyone, not just a trial in her favor.

I thought about the pros and cons, and then I found that more and more people appeared in the court. The seats behind Michael and me were already full.

I turned my head, looked at Michael, and found that he was also looking at me.

“This is not an early judgment.” I used an affirmative tone.

“This is the official court session. They’ve brought forward the progress without informing any of us.” Michael sounded very calm, but I could read his inner thoughts from his tight grip.

“So, Joanna will be judged today?” There were too many people present, and I didn’t want to lose my composure, but I couldn’t help but feel anxious. I was already scratching the back of the sofa, which calmed me.

“Hmph,” he snorted. Michael sneered, and his eyes looked as if he was thinking about something. His posture relaxed, and he said, “I’ve already expected them to play some tricks, but I didn’t know where they would put their weeight. Now that they’ve directly played an open card, it’s a good thing.”

I didn’t understand how this could be considered a good thing, but when I saw Michael’s determined expression, I gradually calmed down. I let go of the sofa and grabbed Michael’s fingers. Michael held mine.

The court was about to begin seeing that the jury had already entered.

I heard Michael say softly, “Don’t worry, we’ll just wait and see.”

I tried to calm myself down by taking a deep breath. However, when I saw the criminal suspects being put in line to enter the courtroom, and one of them was Joanna, I inhaled sharply.

Anger suddenly filled my heart. Whenever I saw Joanna, I couldn’t help but want to tear her apart.

“Don’t be too nervous, Cecily.” My mate’s breath wrapped around me and someone touched my hand softly.

I looked down and found that Michael had left a kiss on the back of my hand.

He scanned me from top to bottom. Looking into his eyes, I felt the anger in my heart silently dissipate and turn into a surging love.

It was like every day, every moment I saw my mate, my heart was filled with an endless desire for him.

I pulled my hand back a little, not wanting to show that I was too intimate with Michael in front of so many people. That would make it seem undignified.

However, Michael grabbed my hand, raised it, put it to his lips, and kissed it again as if he was deliberately showing it to everyone around. He was declaring his sovereignty over me in front of everyone else. I realized this, and my face turned red.

“Believe me, Cecily.” Michael sighed. “If I hadn’t come here today, perhaps they would have escaped. But now that I’m here, their wishful thinking will fall through. Even better, you’re here today, so you’ll be able to see with your own eyes how their plan failed.”

Michael’s promise had magical comfort, and his confidence infected me. I nodded and waited for the trial to begin officially.

After the bell rang three times, the hall finally quieted down.

The first step was to confirm the identity of the suspects. Each suspect had to confirm their name, gender, age, hometown, and other basic information. They were quickly pushed out and then pushed back.

Then, just as Michael had said before, the first trial would be for the crimes of some small figures. Their evidence was generally clear, and the process was relatively simple. Soon, the jury found them guilty, and the royal guards took them out and lead them to where they should go.

After going through what could be considered a long process, I finally saw a familiar face among the suspects – Thales.

I heard Courtney’s interrogation of Thales at pack and knew that he had chosen to plead guilty in exchange for his daughter’s freedom. He wasn’t a good man and had hurt many innocent people, but he was a good father.

I heard with mixed feelings that he was sentenced to fifty years in prison. This punishment was very heavy. He was just an ordinary werewolf, and it was likely that he would not be able to walk out of prison for the rest of his life. However, this was not beyond my expectations compared to what he did.

It was just that his current state was shocking.
