Chapter 438
The phone beeped, and the screen was unlocked.
Grace could not suppress her excitement and immediately checked the application that was opened recently.
The first was the camera.
She clicked on it and saw a video in which Louise and a man appeared.
She covered her mouth in surprise. The man in the video had a scar on his forehead. It was the man who had tried to harm her previously, and this man was actually having an affair with Louise.
She wondered if Brian would vomit from disgust when he saw the video.
Grace thought, ‘It turned out that Ava was killed because she discovered Louise’s secret. This video is very important. Even if I can not prove that Ava was not killed by me, I can at least drag Louise down with me.’
She looked at her phone excitedly. At this moment, the phone screen suddenly flashed twice. Then, the screen turned black.
Grace pressed the side button twice, but the phone did not respond.
At this moment, the door opened and the prison guard threw in a set of clothes. He said coldly, “Change into these clothes!”
After Grace changed her clothes, the prison guards came to take away her clothes and phone.
She hurriedly grabbed the prison guard’s hand and asked, “What are you going to do with my things?”
Seeing her nervous expression, the prison guard thought that she was worried that her things would be stolen, so he explained, “Don’t worry, we won’t take your money. Everything you have will be handed over to your family on your behalf.” Grace had no choice but to let the prison guard take the phone away.
Now, she could only think of a way to meet Carson and get him to fix the phone.
However, she was alone and helpless here. If not for Brian’s help that day, she would not have been able to see anyone.
The holding cell was only 45 square feet, with a cot, a small window, and a toilet.
Grace lay on the bed and heard the conversation of a few prison guards outside. “Prisoner 83 didn’t kill an ordinary person. The Adkins family is very powerful in Capern City Moreover, they are in-laws with the Francis Group. I’m afraid the Adkins
family won’t stop until she’s
sentenced to death.”
A prison guard added, “She kept saying that she was wronged. I don’t think she’s capable of murder. I wonder if there will be any reversals in this case.”
Someone else said, “Other than
turning themselves in, how many
murderers don’t cry out injustice? It’s hard to tell what’s going on in people’s hearts. Some people look soft and weak, but they’re ruthless when it comes to killing people.”
Another prison guard said, “That’s true…”
Grace listened to their conversation, her heart fluctuating.
The next day, the autopsy report of Ava came out.
MS
Ava’s time of death coincided with Grace’s arrivall to the park. All the evidence pointed to her.
During this period, Grace never saw Carson again. She did not know if her things had been handed over to Carson.
The trial started a few days later.
Grace was escorted to the defense table by the prison guards.
Marshal and Shannon sat beside the prosecutor and glared at Grace angrily. They wanted to tear her apart.
The judge asked, “Defendant, do you have any objections to the above charges?”
Grace said, “I have no conflict with Ava. I have no motive to kill.”
Shannon was rather agitated. When she heard Grace’s denial, she immediately roared, “You murderer! You have a motive to kill! The last time my daughter kidnapped you, you had a grudge against her, so you killed her!”
“Is that so? But the last time your daughter was acquitted, she didn’t kidnap me.” Grace was waiting for them to personally admit that they had kidnapped her. This way, she could buy as much time as possible. The police had to investigate the previous case again.
