Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“Miss Smith’s leg was broken by Angela. What happened to Angela’s legs?”

“It’s said that James used to like Miss Smith. When he knew she broke Miss Smith’s leg, he broke her leg. But after she got out of prison, she was together with James.”

“I don’t understand the life of a rich man, but if someone breaks my leg, no matter what, I won’t be with that person.”

Walking down the aisle, Angela heard two jurors whispering about her. She pursed her lips and walked over without a pause.

The court started soon.

When it was Jessica’s turn to speak, she first bowed to everyone, and then said softly, “When the car accident happened two years ago, I had been friends with Angela for seven or eight years.”

“Angela was a little grumpy. She didn’t pay much attention to other’s feelings. She had few friends. I think she was very real and lovely… ”

Jessica said a lot about her past with Angela, and her tone was full of nostalgia.

Angela watched her performance coldly. If it wasn’t for the wrong occasion, she would like to applaud for her!

Why didn’t she find that Jessica could perform so well before?

“But two years ago, on September 28, Angela’s birthday, she threw a birthday party as usual. I didn’t think much about it. I went to her house after I got the presents ready.”

“Before dinner, I called her and asked where she was. She said she had arrived and asked me to pick her up.”

Speaking of this, Jessica paused for a moment, her eyes fell on Angela, full of bitterness and incomprehension, “But after I went out, Angela directly drove into me, and I yelled to her to stop, but she stepped on the gas pedal and said she wanted me to die!”

She choked, “In fact, on the afternoon of September 27, Angela went out alone with me and asked me if James loved me or not. I said I didn’t know.”

“Then she was not happy and lost her temper with me. At that time, we were at school, and some passing classmates could prove that we had a quarrel.”

“I thought Angela just lost her temper with me as usual, so I didn’t take it seriously. I went to her birthday party as usual and prepared her favorite headset as a gift. Who knew…”

Jessica bit her lip and her eyes were full of tears. She raised her head slightly and choked back all her tears.

Seeing this, there was a lot of noise and discussion in the court.

“Two years ago, Angela was only 18 years old, but she did this kind of thing. If she was allowed to stay outside, who knows whether she would kill others because of little things in the future?”

“It’s more reliable for people like her to be put in prison for a lifetime!”

“What a pity that Miss Smith has made such a sinister friend, and now she is disabled…”

“Look at Angela. She still doesn’t want to repent!”

People were still talking about her with different wordings.

Angela was numb after hearing too many words like this, and her look didn’t even fluctuate.

Danis turned his head and looked at her. The bottom of his amber eyes was filled with anger and disgust as before, but mixed with forbearance and love.

Angela glanced at him, and then her eyes moved away, as if she didn’t see him.

The judge looked at Angela, “Does the defendant have anything to say?”

Angela stood up and said, “On the afternoon of September 27, Jessica did go out to talk to me. But what she told me was that she couldn’t stop her love for James and asked me if I could cancel my engagement with him and compete with her fairly.”

“Angela, how can you…” Jessica looked unbelievable, then sighed with a bitter smile, “Forget it, it’s meaningless to argue with you in court.”

She dropped her eyes and said softly, “It’s hard to imagine that we used to be friends.”

In the absence of evidence, the two women held different opinions. But all along, public opinion was biased towards Jessica, and it was true that Angela broke her leg at that time, so most people took it for granted that Angela was lying.

Angela didn’t explain anything more and just sat down.

Angela’s mobile phone vibrated twice in succession. It was two messages from Raya.

“Shit, Jessica is so shameless!” followed by three angry emojis.

“If I had not seen the evidence from my master, I would have believed her words! These people sitting below only listen to her one-sided story. Wait, the truth will come out later!”

Angela put away her mobile phone and turned to look in the direction of Raya, who gave her an encouraging gesture.

She nodded slightly. When she looked back, she saw her mother.

Elva looked at her with red eyes and worried face. Then she took out her cell phone and pointed to it, indicating Angela to look at it.

Angela looked at her for a moment, then withdrew her eyes. The mobile phone vibrated several times. She took out her cell phone, turned it to silent, and then put it aside without looking at it.

Needless to say, her mother wanted to persuade her to reconcile with Jessica.

“I want to ask Miss Smith a question.” Sean said, “At that time, the situation was so urgent. You said you heard Angela yelling to kill you. Would it be possible that the wind was too strong? Did you hear it wrong?”

Jessica shook her head, bit her lip and said, “It wasn’t windy that night. I heard it very clearly, and I have a recording in my hand.”

“Recording?” Sean pushed his glasses and said with a smile, “In such an emergency, how could you turn on the recorder?”

He paused. “Or did you know Angela would hit you before it happened?”

There was a commotion in the court.

Jessica gave a bitter smile, “I know you want to help Angela, but you should not maliciously slander me like this.”

“When I went out to find Angela, I was still on the phone with Nova. In order to avoid some trouble, I always had the habit of saving the call recording, so I accidentally recorded what Angela said. If necessary, I can call Nova over now.”

Sean smiled, “You don’t have to.”

He said to several judges, “I have a few things to prove that she is lying.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

After that, he gave several evidences to the judge, one of which was a video, and he handed over his laptop.

Jessica was flustered, but she was sure she didn’t leave anything that they could hold against her. She calmed down and looked as usual.

Sean said, “Before, Miss Smith, Angela, Nova and Janet were good friends. When I happened to watch Janet’s Moments, I found there was a rehearsal video, in which Angela just said she wanted to kill Miss Smith.”
