Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

One month later, it was the day of the trial.

Since the royal family was involved, the trial attracted a lot of attention.

Although Rowan was sitting in the dock, he appeared calm and collected, as if he were in charge of the trial.

Martin and Carmella sat in the audience seats.

When they heard the charges the prosecution listed, a barely noticeable smile flickered across Carmella’s face. On

the other hand, Martin remained expressionless, but there was anger in his deep eyes as he tightly clasped his

hands together.

“Your Majesty…” Carmella gently took hold of his hands.

Martin’s fingertips jolted slightly, but he did not push her away. Carmella was surprised as Martin had avoided any

physical contact with her, even reducing their intimate moments, for years because of Helene’s incident. Whenever

he touched her, it was like he was touching something filthy. They had even started sleeping separately in the past

two years.

Martin’s action just now brought joy to Carmella’s heart. It was an unintentional gesture, but it felt like a milestone

with extraordinary significance to her. She was momentarily stunned before smiling and trying to lean her head on

Martin’s shoulder.

Martin still did not avoid her touch. Carmella’s eyes turned red, and she was more determined in her intention to

get rid of Rowan. Once Rowan was out of the way, no one would bring Helene back to sanity. As long as Helene

remained insane, no one would ever know Aurelia’s real identity.

She had to remove all these obstacles, and then Martin would always be hers alone.

The prosecutor asked sternly, “Rowan Irwin, do you admit to all of these charges?”

Rowan smirked. “Evidence needs to be presented in cases like this. Are you asking me to admit guilt without

evidence? Are you trying to confuse the facts? Do you think that the laws in Southeast Aciatic can be manipulated

at will?”

The lawyer glanced at him and requested to summon a witness before the judge. Soon, Aurelia sat in the witness

seat.

“You saw with your own eyes that Rowan Irwin treated Princess Helene, didn’t you?”

Aurelia nodded slightly.

The lawyer continued to ask, “Since drinking the medicine containing cinnabar, the princess’ condition has

worsened. And Rowan Irwin prescribed the medicine, is that right?”

Aurelia took a deep breath, licked her lips, and answered clearly, “No.”

The courtroom was in an uproar due to her response.

Aurelia smiled calmly. “I’m here to testify for Mr. Irwin today. I don’t want to see anyone slandering his reputation

with baseless accusations!”

The lawyer narrowed his eyes. “Ms. Chilton, you reported it to the queen when Princess Helene’s condition got

worse.”

“Of course, I have to tell the queen the truth that Princess Helene’s seriously ill. But that doesn’t mean that I’ll

frame Mr. Irwin!”

“Very well!” The lawyer smiled. This was as Carmella had guessed. He calmly presented another piece of evidence.

“Ms. Aurelia Chilton lived in Melorian before coming to Southeast Aciatic. Her parents are illegal immigrants with no

fixed income. However, their lives have improved significantly recently. Upon investigating their accounts, there’s a

large sum of inexplicable funds in there.”

The lawyer sneered. “Ms. Chilton, this is the benefit that Rowan Irwin promised you, isn’t it?”

Aurelia frowned, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. “You’re talking nonsense!”

“I’m not talking nonsense. This financial transaction is the most solid piece of evidence!”

“I haven’t seen my parents since I was ten years old!” Aurelia raised her voice. “I haven’t had any contact with

them, so how could Mr. Irwin contact them?”

The lawyer glanced at the audience seat. He made eye contact with Carmella, who was sitting in the center, and

she nodded slightly.

The lawyer bowed. “Your Honor, please allow me to summon another set of witnesses to testify!”

A moment later, a man and a woman walked into the courtroom. The courtroom was instantly silent as everyone

stared quietly at these two people.

The man was thin and pale, with the blood vessels on his face seemingly visible, while the woman had a lewd air

with her every move. Although she was not young, her skimpy dress and heavy makeup seemed to tell people what

profession she used to be in.

Both of them sat in the witness box, looking around nervously. When they saw Joy, who was beside Carmella, they

hesitated and lowered their heads at the same time.

Carmella’s brow furrowed with a sudden sense of unease. Who were these two people? They were not the ones she

had asked Joy to find!

Aurelia also looked puzzled as she stared at the two people. Although she had no impression of her parents, it had

only been eight or nine years since she was abandoned. Could a person’s features, appearance, and even hair

color change so completely in such a short time?

Carmella looked at the lawyer, biting her lip nervously. The clueless lawyer thought she was giving him a signal and

smiled, saying, “Ms. Chilton, your parents are here to testify too!”

He then looked at the man and woman and said, “I have a few questions to ask you both. You must answer

truthfully in front of the judge.

“The money in your bank accounts came from this person, right?” The lawyer pointed at Rowan.

The two people trailed their eyes after his finger and then glanced at Joy…

When this woman found them, she told them not to say anything in court and promised they would receive some

money afterward. Could she still keep her promise judging from the current situation?

“Please answer truthfully!” The lawyer cleared his throat and emphasized his words.

“These are not my parents!” Aurelia interrupted. “You guys are ridiculous! You can’t just find two people, make

them pretend they’re my parents, and then frame Mr. Irwin!”

“That’s right.” Cordelia’s voice came from the other side of the gallery, calm and tinged with sarcasm. “If witnesses

can be found so easily, the trial is too casual, isn’t it?”

“But…” Cordelia looked at Carmella. “Your Majesty may have another purpose for doing this. I wonder if I’m right?”

Carmella scowled instantly. She turned around abruptly and glared at Joy behind her.

“Where are the people I asked you to find?” She gritted her teeth. “How could it turn out like this?”

Joy raised her eyes, and her calm gaze showed no sense of loyalty to her master. It was full of estrangement.

“Your Majesty, what’s the purpose of you asking me to find those people?” she asked. “Why don’t you tell the judge

about it?”

“I’m asking you where those two people are!” Carmella flew into a rage and stood up to hit her.

However, Martin grabbed her by the wrist before the slap could land. He looked at her with a hint of distrust,

frowning. “Who did you ask Joy to find?”
