293 Making Up A Story

“If everything in this video is true, this girl can’t be as innocent as you claim. I even suspect that everything that happened just now was just her act. She has been trying to use lies to cover up the truth. I think we need to re-investigate all the evidence,” the jury also spoke.

“I agree. Now that there are new charges, we should reinvestigate everything,” someone echoed.

“But, haven’t we already come to a conclusion about what happened before?” A member of the committee voiced his objection. “We are not saying that she is innocent. She participated in kidnapping the Prince’s mate, but she did not abduct the she-wolves. I don’t think there is any problem with this. I’m willing to believe that she’s still kind by nature.”

“I agree with this. We don’t have to waste time repeatedly. It’s enough to confirm the truth that she killed humans.”

For a moment, the court was filled with different voices.

Everyone was expressing their opinions, but the core contradiction had always revolved around the evidence that Courtney provided. Could it confirm that Joanna had killed the human girl?

I looked at this mess and felt that our existence had completely muddled up this pool of water. However, this was a good thing for us. Only after all the turmoil and twists had passed could they dig out the dark things at the bottom of the pool and expose them to everyone.

“I... I have something to say.” A weak female voice was heard, but it instantly attracted everyone’s attention. The voice came from Joanna; this was the first complete sentence she had spoken since Courtney appeared.

In just a few minutes, she had completely calmed down. Instead, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry but was holding it back. “I didn’t say anything just now because I was trying to recall this incident. After all, it was too long ago. But I can say I didn’t harm humans and won’t do that.”

“Then, please explain your actions in the video,” the judge asked calmly.

“She was not a human girl. She was a werewolf,” Joanna said. “Back then, Michael and I went to a werewolf pack to investigate something. We met Rita. She kept trying to get on Michael’s good side, but I was very friendly. Many people in the same industry can prove it. You can go and investigate.”

I didn’t expect to hear Michael’s name from Joanna’s mouth again. The anger in my chest rose again. Michael looked down at me and grabbed my hand.

I managed to control my temper and continued to listen to Joanna. “It was Rita who asked me out that night. I wanted to reject her, but she insisted on meeting me, so I had no choice but to go.

“As you can see from the video, I entered the forest behind her, but she attacked me as soon as I entered. She set up a trap inside, and I injured her to protect myself. Then, I came out of the forest.”

Joanna lowered her head and made a gesture of wiping her tears. “After that, we left the next day. I don’t know where Rita went after that, and I didn’t tell anyone about it. I was so shocked when I saw the news of her death. I felt it was my fault that she was harmed, and I feel really guilty about it.”

Joanna’s expression was too natural. I would have thought it was real if I hadn’t heard Samuel’s detailed description of how Joanna cruelly tore open the other person’s body.

I saw that the doubtful faces of the jury members had started to loosen up. I couldn’t help but clench my fists.

Joanna had a rare talent to come up with such a story in such a short period and act it out movingly. But if we let her fool the jury, all our previous efforts would be in vain.

I looked at Courtney worriedly. The main reason Michael and her interrupted the court trial was that Rita was a human girl. However, it would be a completely different story if she were a werewolf.

Werewolves often had disputes over various issues. Duels were common, and even the werewolves who won because of their strength would be sought after by others.

Although Joanna was a Lycan, and it was a little unfair for her to win against a werewolf, it was not a matter of principle. It was not on the same level as killing a human.

I felt Michael’s hand pressing on my shoulder. “Don’t worry, trust me.”

The judge threw the question to Courtney this time. “In your accusation, are you sure that Rita is a human girl?”

“I can answer this question.”

A loud voice came from outside the door, and Samuel walked in. He first bowed respectfully to Brandon and Michael and then to General Lovecraft, Courtney, and me.
