CHAPTER 567: CHAPTER 588: THAT INSTANT OF EYE CONTACT

Mabel Quinn was startled for a moment, "Then what exactly were you thinking just now?"

"I was just thinking that maybe from the day you were born, it was destined that I would fall in love with you," he said earnestly.

Her ears couldn’t help but turn red; was the CEO confessing his love? Especially while maintaining such a serious expression.

"Well... I’ll be going to court soon, so I need to get ready," Mabel changed the topic, saying this. Under the CEO’s gaze, her mind was in a jumble. She didn’t know what she would say once she was on the stand. Quickly, she needed to clear her head!

"Alright," Kyle Kinston responded, watching Mabel Quinn move to the side to do exercises to clear her head. A moment later, he diverted his attention back to the LCD video screen. In the video, Josh Harris’s lawyer was pushing all the blame onto Grace Yowell regarding the bomb incident, claiming ignorance, while Grace naturally wasn’t going to just take it. She also pushed all the blame onto Josh Harris. The two of them were putting on quite a spectacle, like dogs biting each other.

Kyle Kinston’s fingers lightly tapped on the small table next to his chair, his gaze deep. Let them have their squabble; he had no intention of letting either of them off.

It was Mabel Quinn’s turn to take the stand. Mabel bid Kyle goodbye and then left the room. Under the guidance of a court officer, she entered the courtroom.

Mabel Quinn’s appearance caused the scene to momentarily quiet. Especially Grace Yowell, whose eyes were fixed on her, her face filled with hatred and twisted jealousy.

Why did she have to end up like this while Mabel Quinn was perfectly fine? It was just too unfair! She had tried so hard to change her fate, while Mabel Quinn hadn’t really done anything, yet Mabel Quinn got everything good. Even when she was in the detention center, she heard that Mabel Quinn was going to marry Kyle Kinston, while she, it seemed, had been abandoned by fate. A good hand of cards had turned bad.

Especially her face, now disfigured; any thoughts of becoming a star or making a comeback were mere fantasies!

Only when she was on the stand did Mabel find the scars on Grace Yowell’s face. The scars weren’t shallow, and likely wouldn’t fade easily even after healing.

This must have been caused by the explosion at the time, but Mabel Quinn felt no sympathy for Grace Yowell. Grace and Josh Harris were merely using each other, and neither got away unscathed.

Mabel Quinn first took an oath and then truthfully recounted everything she experienced before and after the incident. She also answered all the questions posed by both the plaintiff and the defendant’s lawyers.

Because Mabel Quinn’s testimony involved another witness—Daniel Harris.

The judge then summoned Daniel Harris to testify.

A tall figure walked in from outside the courtroom, and Mabel turned her head to look at Daniel Harris. Come to think of it, she hadn’t seen him since returning from Drumbeat Village.

While in Drumbeat Village, Daniel Harris couldn’t see a thing; his beautiful eyes were unfocused. But now... Daniel didn’t need anyone’s support, nor did he need a cane to find his way, but walked straight onto the stand in large strides.

His eyes... he could see again!

Mabel Quinn looked slightly dazed at Daniel Harris, while he seemed to sense something and paused slightly, looking towards Mabel Quinn. In an instant, her eyes met his, those eyes with focus!
