You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 431

"Is that so?" Hearing her reply, a smile of mockery flashed across Marcellus's face. He continued, "Eleven years ago, you were only 20 years old. Would you have been able to reflect so calmly when you were so young? Wouldn't you have tried to run away? Or maybe even try to get someone to be imprisoned in your place?"

When Marcellus asked that question, Yoel seemed as if he had understood and he shouted in opposition. However, the judge ruled out his opposition.

When Valerie heard Marcellus's question, she smiled calmly. "Yes, I wouldn't. Those who know me well would know that I matured faster. I wouldn’t be immature when it comes to matters that require thinking."

Seeing her attitude, Marcellus walked in front of Valerie. Then, he asked firmly, "Miss Valerie, are you willing to be responsible for every word you say now?"

This was the first time that Marcellus had questioned Valerie in such a tone in the two court sessions.

Seeing that Marcellus was very serious, Valerie felt worried for a while, but soon she clenched her fists and solemnly answered, "Yes, I am willing to be responsible for what I say."

This was what Valerie and Yoel had agree on.

She wouldn't admit it no matter what.

Anyway, Finley was dead and he was not able to be a witness. As long as she did not admit to it, no one could do anything about it.

In fact, Cynthia had thought of this method. The recording was in the hands of the police and in fact, it had already confirmed Valerie's crime. She could only deny it and talk about her family background. There was still a glimmer of hope for her to survive.

However, there was only one unexpected situation that would bring Valerie down.

That is, to have another witness.

"Alright, if that's the case, I don't have any questions for now."

After Marcellus finished his words, he went back to his seat.

Coralie could clearly see that there was a trace of pride in Valerie's expression. She couldn't help but grab Skylar's hand and ask, "Skylar, will she really be convicted? If she doesn't admit to it, would she be exonerated of her crime?"

"No, she won't."

Skylar gently patted her hand and consoled her softly.

Coralie retracted her gaze and glanced around the hearing. She saw that Hector was not present and Amelia was sitting in the first row.

There was another lady who sat three seats away from Amelia. She appeared very young and was wearing a thin white coat. Her hair was combed up in a princess style, and on top of it was a beautiful bow clip.

"Isn't that the lady whom Franklin had brought in when we got engaged last time?"

Coralie pointed to the lady and asked.

She remembered that she was called Lucille Jules, and she was still quite young. At that time, Franklin had introduced her as his fiancee.

"Yes."

Skylar didn't seem surprised at all by the girl's presence.

"Why is she here?"

"You'll find out soon."

Skylar pulled Coralie close to his side and didn't say much to her.

Yoel once again spoke in a roguish way about Valerie's identity, status, education and so on. He explained that it was impossible for Valerie to do such a thing, let alone collude with the kidnappers.

In the end, Yoel also explained the issue of the kidnapping in an even more shameless way. "Miss Valerie and Finley knew each other, so it may be possible that Finley had mistakenly sent her the message. Now that Finley is dead, no one can give an answer."

He appeared to be flawlessly using Finley's death to deny the evidence.

He wanted to help Valerie wash off her crimes.

In fact, at this time, Yoel's expression was very calm. He even felt like a genius. If he had successfully won this tricky case, he could actually consider becoming an actual lawyer in the future.
