This sudden turn of events once again shocked all of us.

There had been too many twists and turns in court today.

The judge looked at Samuel in confusion and asked, “And you are?”

“I’m a warrior from the Lycan Pack. I’m responsible for the royal family’s safety most of the time.” Samuel glanced at Joanna and said, “Since miss Lovecraft has recalled what happened that night, I’m sure you’ve also recalled that I was present during the investigation of that werewolf pack.”

Joanna looked nervous again because of Samuel’s appearance. “I... I can’t remember this clearly.”

Samuel didn’t look at Joanna again. Instead, he turned to the judge and said, “Besides, I was also a witness at the scene that night. I saw the entire process of Joanna tearing that innocent girl apart.”

Everyone in the audience gasped at Samuel’s words.

“Impossible, this is impossible. He’s lying.” Joanna’s face turned pale, but she still retorted strongly.

The judge stretched his neck forward and said, “You said you were a witness that night. What evidence do you have? Why didn’t you appeal at that time?”

“I don’t have any evidence. I didn’t appeal because it’s not my job,” Samuel said stiffly. “No one asked me to testify in court. But now that someone has brought this up again, I think I must tell you what I know instead of letting Joanna’s lies deceive you.”

“We can’t believe you without evidence,” The judge declared.

“I know my testimony might not be effective, but I have other evidence.”

Samuel took a few documents from his bag and handed them to the judge. He explained, “This is Rita’s birth document and related proof. She is the child of a werewolf and a human, so she has lived in a werewolf pack. However, she did not have any werewolf characteristics on her body after she became an adult.

“She did not inherit the genes of a werewolf, nor did she have the ability to transform. So, she was completely tortured by Joanna, just like what I saw the other day.”

I saw that the judge and the committee members were passing around the document that Samuel handed to them. Their faces became more and more serious. In the end, the judge cast a disappointed look at Joanna.

I felt like a boulder in my heart had finally been lifted off my chest. I knew that the overall situation had been set.

The judge stood up from his seat and sighed, “When I think of this, everyone already has their judgment. However, due to the constraints of the program, we have to investigate these clues before we can make the final decision. Joanna, you will be punished for what you have done. I hereby announce that the court is adjourned for now.”

The jury was the first to leave, followed by the judge and the other judges.

Michael and I looked at each other, and we saw the joy of victory in each other’s eyes. Joanna was about to lose everything. The next time she returned, she would only face life imprisonment or the death penalty.

“No,” she said.

My sharp hearing allowed me to hear a murmur. I subconsciously looked at Michael, but his eyes were still on me. I knew from his eyes that he had heard it.

Then, Michael’s brows furrowed, and I also realized who had said that.

The royal guards were escorting Joanna out. This time, they had handcuffed her. Joanna’s face was drained of blood, and she stood there like a statue.

What happened today was not within her expectations. She thought she would only be sentenced to a few years in prison, and then her family would naturally find a way to release her on parole, so she could go home safely.

But now, the court had announced that they would thoroughly investigate this, and all the evidence was against her.

She watched as her parents and lawyer tried their best, but to no avail.

“No! No! No!” Joanna’s voice was getting louder and louder, almost to the point of screaming.

The royal guards beside her grabbed her arm at once, but she struggled frantically. The chains mixed with special wolf poison restricted her movements. Panic and anger appeared on Joanna’s face. Her pupils expanded rapidly, and her breathing became rapid.

Her eyes quickly swept over her father and then fixed on me from a distance.

“It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault!”

Joanna screamed, and then her eyes glowed with a strange red light.

At that moment, I felt her beast about to break out of her body. The hatred and destructive light in her eyes grew as if the beast had already dominated her mind. She let go of all her rationality and became crazy and reckless.

Michael took a step forward and stood in front of me. He let out a warning growl at Joanna.
