Chapter 267 Death (1/2)

Sitting in the seat, Sheila's mind was in a mess, only thinking what to do.

She looked in the direction of Gloria and found that she was also looking at her. Gloria's eyes were full of panic and doubts. 'Yes, I have to tell her that Lawyer Martin can't defend her today.'

At the thought of this, Sheila abruptly stood up and shouted to the direction of Gloria, ”Mom, I'm sorry. I wanted to approach Lawyer Martin just now, but he was pissed off by me and left. He couldn't defend for you today!”

Sheila's voice resounded in the court. Everyone looked in the direction her, and their eyes were filled with astonishment and weirdness, almost shouting ”weirdo”.

”Hush!” The Secretary warned her seriously. ”The court is a sacred place. If you dare to neglect the court again and communicate with the defendant openly, I will expel you out!”

It was then that Sheila realized what she had done. She sat back in embarrassment. Others did not dare to talk to each other in a loud voice, but their eyes were full of contempt and disgust when they looked at Sheila.

”Then, please proceed with announcing the court discipline...”

Gloria got panicked when knowing that Lawyer Martin would not show up? How could she face the interrogation of Ashley's lawyer, judge and public prosecutor alone!

'it's all because of the idiot Sheila! She is worse than useless!' Gloria blamed herself in mind! How could she give birth to such a fool who made trouble for her every day! She even tried to seduce Lawyer Martin, but fail. He was pissed off!'

No matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do. Now that things had been done like this, she would teach Sheila a lesson in the future. The most important thing was to deal with the court trial. Fortunately, before she came here, Lawyer Martin reviewed the trial process with her again and told her what to say, she remembered everything. Although Lawyer Martin was not present now, as long as she explained the original cause of her murder, it was all because of her love and envy. The judge is also a human. She believe the judge will understand her.

Gloria felt much more relieved.

After a short while, the chief judge came in. Everybody sat up and the court trial began.

After going through some process that she did not understand at all, the judge finally began to ask her, ”defendant, Gloria, could you please tell me whether the facts in the indictment is truth or not?”

Upon hearing this, Gloria stood up immediately. ”Yes, but...”

”Well, are you willing to admit your crime?” The judge interrupted her.
