Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 570

In the courthouse of Seacisco.

It didn't take long before the jury came to a conclusion.

The evidence given by Ethan was clear, concise, and in a word, damning. Because the two families involved were equally powerful, the case could only be presented with evidence. In the end, the judge confirmed the authenticity of the evidence Ethan had put out.

Ethan won the trial. Elissa was rendered guilty of the two charges, the intentional homicide twenty years ago and the recent attempted murder.

When the verdict was announced, Seth raised his eyebrows and looked at Ethan.

They hadn't seen each other in years, and in Seth's eyes, Ethan had changed a lot.

Ethan noticed the man's gaze and turned to look straight at him. The two locked eyes.

Seth smiled politely at him, but the smile was somewhat unfathomable. He nodded at Ethan, turned around, and then left.

The second he walked out of the courthouse, Ritchie couldn't hold it in any longer and exploded. "Fuck!"

His nostrils flared as he roared, "Dad really didn't help! Mom stayed loyal to him for years and she only tried to get rid of Ethan for our family's sake. If Dad did something, things might've turned out differently!"

"Calm down. Someone could hear you." Seth put his hand on Ritchie's shoulder and warned him in a low voice.

Ritchie had always had a bad temper, ever since he was a child.

Ritchie had no choice but to clamp his mouth shut.

Seth talked to the lawyer in a hushed voice for a while. He was still calm. He had never seen Ethan as a threat and never understood why Elissa was so wary of him.
