Chapter 139: The Court Case II
"Do you think Mr. Ewan is right?"
"I am not sure. Doctor Athena doesn’t look like the one who would do such evil. I think Mr. Ewan is confused, or perhaps he received wrong information..."
"Or maybe he is just too desperate to have his children back."
"If it is as you said, then he is a man most miserable."
"You lot are gullible! He must be telling the truth, especially since he came with proof. Ewan Giacometti is too powerful of a man to be deceived by a hacker. I think our doctor’s demeanor contributes to the disbelief—her innocent face is the best tool to mislead people."
"I think you are right. I have always questioned her success story. How does one go from being labeled an illiterate, as they claimed she was six years ago, to becoming a certified doctor? And not just that, but a well-known one who discovered the cure for a national pandemic?"
"I’m afraid you are right. We have all placed our lives in the hands of a murderer. She should be arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment!"
"I think life imprisonment is too lenient; she should be subjected to electrocution!"
Whispers buzzed like angry bees, escalating into loud arguments that filled the court. Elder Timothy had to strike the gravel four times to restore order.
"Silence!" He shouted again as the murmurs rose once more, moving to a crescendo of heated debates.
"If you won’t keep quiet, then this case will be handled in the inner chambers!" He threatened, causing a tense silence to blanket the council hall.
