Chapter 658:
Damn! Frustration consumed him as he pressed against the window, struggling to contain his emotions. He took a deep breath and looked up. He wouldn’t abandon hope for her. He was ready to seize any chance to start over with her.
As the time for the trial arrived, two officers sealed the courtroom doors. Swallowing the rising tide of anger, Greyson followed her into the court and sank into a seat in the auditorium. From that moment on, he was determined to become part of her world again and understand everything about her, including her work.
Candice hurried to the lawyer’s desk.
Corless and Belinda took their seats.
Greyson’s presence nearly derailed her train of thought. She needed to regain her composure.
However, his words echoed within her, making her realize how surprisingly close she had become to Milton recently.
At the same time, she wanted to stay near Milton—to uncover the truth about the wedding night and the ambassador’s wife’s birthday party. Who could be orchestrating this dangerous game, dragging Milton into it and using her as a pawn?
Greyson was visible among the crowd in the auditorium. Candice’s eyebrows furrowed at the sight of him, but she remained unfazed.
As the exhaustive trial began, a fierce battle unfolded between the two sides.
Candice presented evidence she had never before revealed in court—photographs of the secret room in the resort’s sample villa in Coving Mountain, Wenkin.
The photographs sent shockwaves through the room. Corless’ actions were so abhorrent that even the judge was left speechless, prompting an immediate adjournment for deliberation.
During the break, Candice quickly ate while sorting through the upcoming documentation.
When the proceedings resumed, Candice presented the falsified medical records that Greyson had provided. These records revealed that Corless had manipulated Belinda’s initial hospitalization in Wenkin, fabricating injuries from a supposed bike fall. At the same time, Candice submitted an injury report from a highly credible institution.

This irrefutable evidence left Belinda’s boyfriend, Moises, overwhelmed by Candice’s relentless questioning. Under the mounting pressure, he retracted his previous testimony in court. He confessed to accepting Corless’ bribe to frame Belinda for fraud. He further admitted that he had never been intimate with her and that his accusations against her were entirely fabricated.
Everything finally fell into place.
The trial ended successfully.
Corless, once confident in his ability to outmaneuver Candice, now sat slumped on the ground, his eyes dull and his appearance haggard. His fate was sealed, and the prospect of life imprisonment loomed. He had underestimated Candice’s determination and never anticipated her uncovering the secret room and the damning evidence against him.
In the auditorium, Cathy was present as well, though she was disguised to ensure she remained unrecognizable. She wore a turtle-neck sweater to conceal her chin, a black mask, and a wide-brimmed hat. She feared the media’s probing questions should they recognize her.
