James clenched his fists, his voice filled with disbelief. "Mom, this is the solution you cup with?"
Mrs. Chancer shot him a sharp glance. "Didn't you hear her? Lucy is doing this of her own free will. She doesn't
want to see you orupset. Besides, she has a psychiatric evaluation report—she won't be convicted."
She added firmly, "And I'm doing this for your child!"
James looked toward Lucy in the defendant's seat, his heart twisting painfully. This was his sister-the ssister
who used to demand revenge over the smallest grievances. Now, she was being forced to take the fall.
Lucy continued, her tone eerily calm. "I've resented Sarah for a long time. It's not a secret-most people here
know it. Back at Adams University, | bullied her countless times. Even before this incident, she and | had deep
conflicts. The villa incident was premeditated | planned everything just to ruin her. | wanted to see her break
down."
She spoke so smoothly, as if it were the absolute truth.
Sarah could tell there was both truth and falsehood in Lucy's words. The first part was real—Lucy had indeed
held a grudge against her. But the latter half? That sounded more like Charlotte's own thoughts being put into
Lucy's mouth.
The defense attorney listened to Lucy's statement with satisfaction, while
Charlotte wore a faint smile, looking at the judge with confidence. With Lucy's testimony, she believed the court
would see that she had nothing to do with any of this.
"Request to cross-examine the witness!" Sarah's lawyer suddenly stood.
The judge granted permission, and the lawyer walked up to Lucy, his expression sharp.
"Lucy, how do you explain Kelvin Luther's testimony?"

Lucy blinked, her expression unfazed. "Kelvin? | have no idea why he would lie. This was my doing-no one else's."
Kelvin, sitting nearby, glanced over his shoulder, his face tense.
The lawyer's tone was firm as he asked, "Lucy, are you absolutely certain that you committed this crime?"
"Yes," Lucy nodded without hesitation.
The lawyer then turned to the judge. “Your Honor, | would like to present new evidence."
Charlotte's brows furrowed slightly. She hadn't expected Sarah to have another move left to play.
The lawyer walked over to the courtroom's large screen and played a video. The moment the footage began,
Mrs. Chancer's calm demeanor shattered.
The video was taken inside a psychiatric hospital. The first clip showed Mrs. Chancer's initial attempt to persuade
Lucy to take the fall. The second clip was from just before the trial.
"Lucy, do it for your sister-in-law! Take the blame!"
"...In the end, that woman wasn't even seriously hurt. You won't get a harsh sentence. And if your brother pulls
sstrings, your punishment might be even lighter..."
"If you don't confess, then don't ever call'Mom' again."
The courtroom fell into stunned silence.
As the video continued playing, more reporters had gathered inside the courtroom, eager to capture every
moment. Cameras flashed as they recorded the shocking revelation.
Charlotte's face turned deathly pale-she couldn't believe these videos had been exposed in court.
Mrs. Chancer's expression was grim, her jaw clenched tightly. How could she have forgotten about the
surveillance cameras?
The lawyer turned back to the judge.
