My Second Husband novel Chapter 1050

There were a lot of people gathered outside the court.

They were awaiting the verdict because it wasn't a small affair.

Not everyone was doing it out of concern. Most of them just wanted to see if the Granger family would finally be defeated this time.

Nelson comforted Naomi before the trial began, "It will be fine!"

Naomi nodded.

Then, the two of them smiled at each other and sat down directly in their seats.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the trial officially began.

Firstly, a few suspects were brought in. Naomi quickly looked at them. However, they immediately turned their heads away when they met her eyes.

Naomi frowned at the sight of that, but she thought they were just indignant after being detained for so long.

She only hoped that everything could end peacefully that day, and that all innocent civilians would be released soon.

In the beginning, the suspects were questioned. The police also showed some evidence.

Up until that, everyone remained calm.

After that, the police claimed that they had found some witnesses.

Naomi had known about the witnesses the day before, but she didn't know who exactly they were. Now that she heard that the witnesses were coming, she couldn't help but feel curious.

With just one glance, she was left stunned.

The witnesses were no other than the wives and families of her subordinates.

What flabbergasted her even more was that none of her subordinates looked surprised seeing their families take the witness stand in court.

In other words, they all had known about it beforehand.

Naomi had a premonition that something bad was going to happen, but she could not express her apprehension overtly at the moment. Therefore, she shifted restlessly in her seat.

The family members of several suspects testified that their husbands were wronged and forced to do so by their superior.

After hearing their words, some of the people in the court, who knew about the Granger family, looked at Naomi doubtfully.

If those witnesses were telling the truth, the Granger family would be in serious trouble this time.

Furthermore, certain people who were sitting some distance away from Naomi started gossiping amongst themselves.

"Is it true that the Granger family committed such wrongdoings?"

Naomi was infuriated, but she knew that she had to suppress her anger. She couldn't disgrace the Granger family on such an occasion. Additionally, she would insult herself if she wasted her time arguing with such busybodies.

She simply closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Nelson, on the other hand, rebuked them indirectly with a low but scornful tone, "Well, some people just can't keep their mouth shut, can they? They'd better watch their mouths though. I have heard that people who gossip too much will be punished by God and sent to hell."

It was sarcastic, but it was also effective.

They shut up at once.

Naomi suddenly felt that she was not angry anymore. In fact, she had an urge to laugh.

The family members of most of the suspects had finished testifying, and soon, the last witness came to the stand.

Before Naomi could laugh upon hearing Nelson's words, she was devastated by the presence of the last witness.

When she was framed by the former witnesses, she felt surprised and slightly angry, but never sad.

However, when she saw Carol walking to the stand calmly, she was utterly astonished. Carol's presence sent a chill down her spine.

Carol and Walter were the first couple she met when she started to take over the organization.

They both came from the countryside. Walter was a honest man. He used to hang out with his gang, but he was always the one getting bullied.

Meanwhile, Carol had been working diligently as a waitress and a housekeeper in order to support her younger brother, as well as to help her husband.
