Chapter 308

(( Rhio POV's )))

I left silently and headed to the court for the hearing. All the witnesses that stood against me had sewn their own shitty stories. They also presented an evidence…

The replicated thumbmarks of the deceased businessmen. They said I coerced the businessmen into giving me their thumbmarks so I could get their wealth.

It was really pathetic. It was chaotic.

Throughout the hearing, I've uttered only a few words.

I couldn't talk.

My lawyers did all the defense. The volley of false accusations went on until the first hearing was adjourned. But no matter how much they liked, I wouldn't be jailed without the indictment from the jury.

My temper was burning.

Especially when I returned to see that Jasmin was still crying.

"You're crying until now?"

She faced me briefly and wiped off her tears, "This is nothing. I-I'm just moody today."

She forced a smile and lied down on the bed again.

My emotions were already in shambles and seeing her like that made my chest heavier. I'm no longer sure if I can still go through that pinhole I'm stuck at. The set-up was well planned and the witnesses knew what they were doing. Meanwhile, I have no reliable evidence that could back me up. I just sighed at her and buried my face on her shoulder. I don't want to be imprisoned. I couldn't even kill.

But I could kill whoever tried to frame me up for that Summit Massacre…
