The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 227 A Trap

"Thus, do you mean that someone intentionally instructed you to hoard these drugs and feed it to Richard Jenkins, and then frame it to Susan Shelby?" the judge asked.

"Yes. The drug is very unique, and I'm sure those people on the name list will remember if we manage t o find them and check with them. They can prove my words," Jade said without hesitation.

The judge immediately sent someone to do a verification.

The officer left the court to conduct a verification.

"Here's the critical question. Who is the one who instructed you?"

The court was in complete silence as the judge asked that question.

Although the verification process was pending, Jade clearly confessed the process she used to drug Richard as well as the flow of the drug purchases. Hence, it was unlikely for her to lie!

Indeed, Richard was murdered, but who was the murderer?

"How can it be? Was Richard murdered?" Madam Jenkins looked at Jade furiously, "Tell me! Who was the one who instructed you! Why did you drug my

husband, why?!"

Madam Jenkins looked miserable and she collapsed.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she shouted. 2

Luke quickly supported Madam Jenkins as she seemed to be in great depression and grief. Fury filled his eyes. "Calm down, Mom, I’ll get her to pay the price regardless of who is the one who

murdered my father."

Madam Jenkins's body trembled very slightly, but Luke did not notice it.

Madam Jenkins fully showed her acting skills this time while Charlotte seemed to be anxious.

Charlotte would definitely be pointing her finger at her mother and she would certainly deny the accusation. However, would that be the end?

After all, Charlotte was just a young girl in her twenties. She was not as experienced as Madam Jenkins, hence, her recovery power was not as good a s well.

Madam Jenkins was shocked for just a very short time when she was accused, but she managed to calm down very soon. However, Charlotte was stiff and she looked like a wooden block from the beginning.

Jade bit her teeth and pointed her finger in a specific direction as she stretched her hand.

"The one who murdered Richard Jenkins is..."

Madam Jenkins' eyes were filled with fear for a moment.

She had to be calm.

She could definitely make it as long as she continued t o deny it!

"Is... Charlotte Jenkins.” Jade suddenly switched the direction of her finger and pointed at Charlotte.

Madam Jenkins was stunned.

Luke was stunned.

Charlotte was stunned out of shock.

She was already anxious and guilty from the beginning. Hence, she took a step back and shouted as Jade pointed at her, "It's not me! No, that's bullshit!"

"I'm not lying!" Jade continued speaking without waiting, "Richard Jenkins had a mistress when he was still alive and he intended to make her child the successor of the family's assets. Hence, Charlotte hates that child. On the other hand, everyone knows that Charlotte had a crush on Julian and she hates Susan, so that’s the reason why she set Susan up!"

Madam Jenkins was shocked as she did not expect Jade to switch her focus.

Charlotte could not help but take a step back again and slump on the chair behind her. Anxious and panicked, she shouted, "Nonsense! Not me! I didn't ask you to do that!"

Helplessly, she looked at Madam Jenkins, "Mom, it's not me, not me!"

Without waiting for Madam Jenkins to speak, Susan grabbed the opportunity to say, "Who else if it’s not you, Charlotte? You're the oldest daughter of the family who can give any order to Jade. You killed your dad because you want the assets, and you set me up because you hate me! These are your motives and strategies - what else if you’re not the murderer?"

"No, it’s not me..." Charlotte screamed.

"Oh, really?" Susan smirked coldly and interrupted Charlotte, "Think about your father's suffering expression when he was about to die. He will never let you go cause you're the one who killed him!”

Right after Susan finished talking, a ’pop' sound was heard, followed by the lights that dimmed across the court.

The court was in a complete blackout.

"What’s going on?"

The audience was frightened.

"You're a b*tch, Charlotte! Now I know you're the one who killed me, do you know that I'm suffering?” It was Richard's voice that was heard amongst the audience. 3 NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

"Dad?" Charlotte screamed and squeezed under the chair, "Go away, go away! It's not me, it's not me!"

Madam Jenkins was shocked for a second too as she heard Richard's voice. However, she managed to recover very quickly.

She told herself that it was fake, it was definitely fake!

That was a trap!

Madam Jenkins quickly grabbed Charlotte's hand. " Calm down, Charlotte! Your dad has passed away.

This is fake, someone must have planned it."

However, Charlotte was not as strong as Madam Jenkins — she collapsed. Desperately, Charlotte said a s she grabbed Madam Jenkins, "Mom, I’m innocent. I didn’t kill dad. You know that I didn't drug him, right?"

"Calm down, Charlotte." Madam Jenkins tried to stop Charlotte from continuing to talk as she sensed that something was not right.

"Why did you do this to me, Charlotte, why? Did I mistreat you? Don't you remember that when you were still a kid, I was always by your side when you fell ill? I searched the entire country to get

everything you wanted, but why, Charlotte, why did you kill me?" Richard’s voice was like a sorrowful spirit lingering in the air. 1

Charlotte was even more miserable. She got up from the ground and both hands were in the air. She felt sorry for Richard and her guilt was buried deep in her heart as she had been brainwashed by Madam Jenkins.

Helplessly, she burst into tears as she heard those words from 'Richard.' "Dad, just leave, it's not me, Dad. Mom is the one who killed you, it's Mom. I'm just keeping the secret for her but I didn't drug you! I

didn't!”

Charlotte cried as she gasped.

Suddenly, the lights worked again.

The court was brightened again.

However, it was completely silent.

"Dad, dad..." Trembling, Charlotte was still mumbling under the chair as she had not recovered from the shock.

Meanwhile, Madam Jenkins's face was pale. She slumped and sat on the chair after taking a glimpse at the audience.

That was it. Everything was over.

Why did Charlotte have to be so naive!

She just confessed everything even when such a small trick had been played.

Without the corpse, what Jade confessed was not sufficient enough to be strong evidence to prove her guilt and she could just deny it. However, since Charlotte said that...

"Oh, I see. Thus, you're actually the one who killed Richard Jenkins. Isn’t that right, Madam Jenkins?" Susan glimpsed at Madam Jenkins with a cold gaze.

Julian was the one who designed the drama. Hence, Susan was relatively at ease from the beginning.
