Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 183

Queenie was no fool. When she realized something was off, she immediately contacted her lawyer.

Just because Gideon hired Rupert for Hera and got Christopher to come over didn't mean that Queenie would let them get the upper hand on her.

There was no way Hera could turn the tables in her favor, seeing as Kane and Shaun were present.

Hera finished her mission just as everyone involved in the case finally showed up. She put away her phone and tilted her head.

"Let's begin," she stated.

The combination of Hera's poker face and her icy demeanor made her seem even more superior compared to the others.

Kane shot Nathan a look, who understood it immediately. The latter then reopened the case file, which he had reinvestigated earlier.

"Queenie Killian, we've reconfirmed the validity of the information gathered from the investigation on the report you've lodged this morning. The victim, Zyler Gaskell, is able to speak normally without any problems, which doesn't match the report you've made."

Queenie's lawyer was a woman named Michelle Doyle. The latter had gotten to know all the necessary details this morning so she could defend Queenie right away.

"Although Zyler regained his ability to speak this morning, that doesn't mean he didn't get injured. We have written proof from Reinland Hospital as well as the medical staff's witness statements that Zyler couldn't speak at all last night."

"You should provide the evidence that shows Hera crippling Zyler to the point that he can't speak, not evidence given by the hospital," Rupert refuted.

He had already been briefed on what had happened when Michelle was making her way to the detention facility.

Michelle was speechless, to say the least.

As expected of the best lawyer in Jadonia, the moment Rupert spoke up, he targeted the most vital weak point in Michelle's defending speech.

Reinland Hospital was still unable to determine the exact cause behind Zyler's muteness. This meant no one had any evidence that Hera was the culprit other than Zyler's own statement.

Still, Michelle had no choice but to continue, "The teacher working at the mailroom in Cavenridge International Academy can prove that Zyler could still speak normally before leaving the mailroom during after-school hours.

"But after he got into the conflict with Hera, he could no longer speak once he returned to the mailroom."

"I can prove that," Christopher spoke up at that time.
