Chapter 226 Identification
Chapter 226 Identification
Everyone shifted their gaze to Madam Jenkins in shock as she got agitated all of a sudden.
"Mom, what's going on?" Luke looked at Madam Jenkins cluelessly.
Trembling, Madam Jenkins looked pale and her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat as if she was terribly frightened.
She would have been paralyzed if Charlotte was not there to support her.
"Luke!" Madam Jenkins tried to calm herself and continued, "Nothing, I'm just surprised that Jade has the guts to speak irresponsibly even though she is just a house helper. I was indeed depressed when your dad passed away, but the identification results showed that he was dead from brain bleeding, no one was involved. Thus, I think it’s unnecessary to continue the lawsuit. Luke, just get Mandy to withdraw the lawsuit to stop the embarrassment.
Your father’s death is an incurable scar in my heart and I don’t want anyone to misuse his death, do you get it?"
Madam Jenkins was in tears as she talked. Depressed, she said as she looked at Jade, "Jade, your mother grew up with me and she handed you to me after she passed away so that I could take care of you. I've always treated you just like my daughter and I don't want you to take the wrong path. My husband's death was an accident, I just wish that you can wake up and stop being exploited to harm the innocents. Let's stop here, Jade!"
What filled Madam Jenkins’ eyes was all the love she had for Jade.
Impatiently, she seemed to be frustrated and worried that Jade was used.
Coldly, Julian took a glimpse of Madam Jenkins.
Madam Jenkins was a good sweet talker. In fact, she just wished that Jade would change her confession by bringing up her mother and their old friendship.
However, everything was too late.
Jade seemed to be guilty too when she looked at Madam Jenkins. She was not willing to betray Madam Jenkins if she had a choice. However, she had come clean to Julian when he threatened her. Julian found out everything she knew, and hence he would certainly tell the truth even though she did not.
If that was the case, she might as well be the one who reveals the truth as she would receive a big amount of money as what Julian promised her.
Jade thought of her new boyfriend and the baby in her belly. She said after biting her teeth, "I didn't lie, I have evidence."
"Carry on," the judge said.
Subconsciously, Madam Jenkins shouted, "No!"
"I’d like to advise you to stop disrupting the court order, Madam!" the judge said as he frowned.
On the surface, Madam Jenkins seemed to be calm. She bit her teeth and requested as she looked at Mandy, "Hurry up Mandy, tell them that you want to file a dismissal for this lawsuit and that's it for this case." 1
Jade was indeed a slut! She betrayed her!
She was definitely not going to let her continue her confession.
Otherwise... Madam Jenkins did not even dare to think about it.
"I..." Mandy was confused and helpless as things developed in a different manner which was beyond her imagination.
Apparently, Jade agreed that she would accuse Susan Shelby as the murderer during her confession. In addition, she gave vital evidence, and hence she trusted her.
However, the blood of Richard Jenkins was just ordinary red coloring!
Jade even changed her confession and claimed that Susan was innocent.
Only God knew how things would turn out if the lawsuit continued.
Therefore, Mandy was also a little panicked and she
helplessly said, "I... I'd like to file a dismissal."
Madam Jenkins finally heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's it for this case. We are filing for a dismissal."
What? She must be insane that she thought she could file a lawsuit and dismiss it whenever she wanted.
Coldy smirking, Julian was about to say something.
Susan was already standing right up calmly.
She turned around and gazed directly at Madam Jenkins, "Since Jade claims that she has evidence to prove her words, why not listen to her, Madam
Jenkins? Are you feeling guilty as you just can't wait for the case to close?"
Guilty?
What did she mean?
The audience could not help but begin to discuss it as there seemed to be something according to Mrs. Shaw. 1
Madam Shaw was shocked and she remembered that i t would be a very exciting drama according to Julian. Coupled with Susan's action, a scary notion crept into Madam Shaw's mind.
Was she... How could it be?
Oh gosh! That would be insane if Madam Jenkins did that!
"What are you talking about, Susie?" Luke could not get it, and asked as he looked at Susan cluelessly,"
Why would my mom feel guilty?”
Susan felt sympathy for Luke as she gazed at him.
It was very likely that Luke did not even have the courage to think about it that way. He would probably collapse if he found out the truth.
However, Madam Jenkins had been living in the nightmare for too long, and there was no reason for her to continue living free from her guilt.
"That's right! Watch your words, Susan!” Madam Jenkins shouted with an unexplainable bad instinct.
Why would Susan say it that way? Had she found out... the truth?
How could it be!
Smirking, Susan continued, "I wasn't being reckless. You will find out more after listening to what Jade has to say.”
"I've told you before, Jade is..." Madam Jenkins said with panic.
"Madam Jenkins!" Susan interrupted her right away. She added with a sharp glare, "Do the Jenkins think that I'm such a weak woman? It's not your call to accuse me as a murderer whenever you want! What would be the end of this rumor that I'm the murderer i f I don’t put everything on the table now? Let me tell you this. I'll never agree even if you want to file a dismissal! I want the truth today, carry on, Jade!” 2
Susan was always a gentle and polite person and it was extremely rare for her to be so furious. Hence, Madam Jenkins was shocked.
On the other hand, the judge gave permission for Jade to continue her confession.
"Indeed, late Mr. Jenkins was put on drugs. I can tell the name of the drug and I even know where it originated and where to get it as well, so I know everything about it," Jade said after biting her teeth.
"Oh? Tell me more."
Without hesitation, Jade submitted the name of the drugs as well as a few names. For privacy purposes, the drugs were purchased bit by bit from different sellers and eventually summed up to a scary dose.
It would lead to a very critical health condition if a healthy man was to be drugged with that dose of this particular medicine, not to mention if it was to be used on a sick patient. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
In fact, Jade had not told the complete truth.
On that day, Richard Jenkins was also drugged with a psychedelic which contained a very small amount of aphrodisiac effect. Only then would he approach Susan when he saw her and that was the reason why Susan pushed him away.
However, that was not the main point of the incident. Hence, Jade did not mention it in the court to avoid ruining Susan’s reputation.
