Chapter 713
Sheena lowered her gaze, her expression icy as she chose not to respond.
Kelly’s lawyer raised his hand, continuing to press his well–founded accusations against Sheena,
“The defendant’s silence is a sign of guilt. She did shoot Mr. Lance while he was defenseless. Your Honor, we suggest detaining her
As the lawyer was making his compelling argument against Sheena, the assistant on the defense side received an email on her laptop.
Reading the first few lines, her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly turned the computer toward
Kelly.
Kelly read the email attentively, and as she progressed, her eyes reddened, tears streaming down uncontrollably.
The assistant interrupted the trial, saying, “Apologies, Your Honor. The plaintiff is emotionally distressed. We request another recess!”
Just as the Lawson family’s legal team was ready to unvell their ace–evidence proving Nathaniel was not a legitimate son and that Sheena acted in self–defense, the trial was abruptly halted again.
Everyone present was puzzled.
Kelly unexpectedly withdrew the lawsuit during this recess.
Did she concede in this lawsuit?
Sheena, perplexed by the turn of events, wondered about the content on the laptop that Kelly grieved
over.
Was it the weight of the royal scandal that led Kelly to step

Exiting the courthouse lobby, Sheena spotted a familiar figure leaning against a luxury car, the handsome silhouette instantly soothing her restless heart.
It was Elliot.
She hurriedly approached, her small hand slipping through his unbuttoned black coat, embracing his waist, and feeling the warmth of his body.
“When did you wake up? Do you feel pain anywhere? While Noah is still in Svelton, I’ll have him clear away any lingering discomforts!”
Sheena’s words of concern warmed Elliot’s heart. He contentedly tousled her hair, enveloping her slender figure securely within his coat.
“I probably woke up when you were in court. Don’t worry, Noah’s medical skills won’t leave any lingering issues in my body,” Elliot assured, easing Sheena’s concerns.
Drawing close to her ear, he whispered mysteriously, “Nana, I want to take you somewhere.”
“Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there,” he replied gently, opening the car door, and carrying her horizontally, carefully placing her in the seat.
Turning back, he addressed Howard and Noah, saying, “I’ll borrow Nana for a bit. It’s almost New Year’s, and I’ll formally thank you guys on New Year’s Eve.”
Howard showed an understanding expression, waving his hand impatiently.
“Hurry up and stop it with your public display of affection!”
Noah did not say anything, just looking at them indifferently.
Lionel drove the car and waved at Lucy, who stood quietly behind Noah and Howard.
