Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Non-stop Opposition

Translator: 549690339

The prosecutor’s second witness was a female college student named Robbie Reed.

When she entered the court, Caspian Maple, who had been sitting quietly in the defendant’s seat, suddenly stood up, only to be forcibly pressed back down by the bailiff beside him. Though it only lasted a brief moment, it caught the attention of many people.

Purple Summers noticed and asked Marcel Jefferson next to her, “What happened?”

Lowering his voice, Marcel replied, “She seems to be Caspian Maple’s girlfriend…”

Purple Summers nodded in understanding.

It seemed that Jade Carlson had indeed done her homework.

“Witness, please state your name and your relationship with the defendant,” Jade said.

“My name is Robbie Reed, and I… Caspian Maple is my boyfriend.”

There was a stir in the audience, as everyone was surprised.

Jade was quite satisfied with this effect, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth. “Do you get along well with the defendant? What kind of person is he in daily life?”

Robbie was a little nervous and said, “We get along alright… He doesn’t talk much, he’s a bit introverted, and sometimes he would suddenly throw a tantrum, moody… I accompanied him to undergo anti-depression psychotherapy, but the effect was not very obvious.”

Jade then asked, “Please tell everyone, what did you see in the defendant’s computer a week prior to the day of the incident?”

“I saw… in his computer’s search history, the keyword was… kidnapping.”

Jade’s face almost displayed a victorious smile, “That is to say, one week before Nana Rowe’s accident, he had already been searching online for how to kidnap. This was clearly a premeditated crime — ”

Marcel Jefferson suddenly stood up: “Objection!”

Another objection…

The judge looked at him, asking, “What’s the reason for the defense lawyer’s objection?”

Marcel was dumbfounded.

Reason?… He didn’t know! He was prompted by Purple Summers!

Purple Summers signaled him to look at the laptop screen.

“Ahem, ahem!” Marcel hurriedly glanced at it and immediately said, “I object to the prosecutor’s groundless speculation! The search keyword only shows that my client was curious about kidnapping. It cannot prove that he is the murderer of Nana Rowe! All of our search histories contain more or less similar keywords. Are you saying that I searched for bank robbing last week, and the bank robbery this week means I’m the robber? I request the prosecutor to maintain a proper attitude and present more convincing evidence!”

The judge pondered for a moment and said, “Given the particularity of this case, the defendant’s activities in daily life do have some reference value. The defense lawyer’s objection is invalid.”

Jade sighed in relief.

However, the judge then said, “But I would also like to remind the prosecution to provide more valuable evidence or testimony.”

Jade’s face turned sour.

What was going on? Everything was different from what she had anticipated…

Although this time the objection was ruled invalid, she too received a warning from the judge. Her arrogance didn’t pay off, and instead, she was under restriction!

After sitting down, Marcel couldn’t help but quietly ask Purple Summers, “Why do we keep objecting?”

“To disrupt her rhythm.” Purple Summers’ bright eyes slightly narrowed, her smile shallow. “And, doing so makes me happier.”

Marcel was speechless.

Meanwhile, Jade had regained her composure and continued calmly, “Based on what Caspian Maple’s classmates and girlfriend have said, Caspian Maple has a loner and introverted personality, with a tendency towards violence. Coupled with his long-term suffering from depression, we strongly suspect that Caspian Maple poses an underlying danger to society — ”

Her voice shifted, and Jade lamented painfully, “He had planned it for a long time, lurking near the kindergarten before approaching Nana Rowe when she was alone… Ultimately leading to this tragic incident!”

Purple Summers lightly tapped the table.

Marcel caught on, looking at her with astonishment: Another objection?

Purple Summers grinned and nodded.
