As the tape ended, the courtroom fell silent as everyone tried to process what they had just heard. "It's worth noting that Alan Miller was kind enough to provide us with the name of that doctor. He's currently in police custody while we conduct the necessary investigations," Alistair said.

Frederick and Vanessa were terrified. That idiot really had betrayed them by spilling everything to Alistair. They could feel their victory slipping through their fingers. All their so-called friends had betrayed them, and on top of that, they were stuck with a useless lawyer who was doing nothing to help.

"You... you were going to do what?!" Jayden's voice broke the silence, his shout reverberating through the courtroom as he stood, fists clenched, ready to attack the bastards who had planned to destroy his fiancée and steal his child. "Jayden," Deborah called, standing up as well.

*Jayden, calm down, please. They're not worth it," Caroline said, rising alongside Christian and the assistant to restrain him before he did something reckless.

Jayden hesitated, seeing everyone holding him back and noticing a police officer approaching.

Meanwhile, Herman was growing increasingly frustrated. He was tired of this circus, and as he glanced around the courtroom, he noticed someone signaling to him. When their eyes met, the person silently mouthed a message, causing Herman to smile-it was time. Acknowledging the message with a slight nod, he returned to his seat beside his clients.

"Hey, idiot, don't just sit there... Do something!" Vanessa hissed under her breath.

"We're starting to look like the bad guys..." Frederick muttered nervously.

"And aren't you?" Herman asked, raising an eyebrow as he glanced at them, his words clearly striking fear into their hearts.

"Yes, I do have a few questions for him," Herman said, standing up and approaching Alistair. "Detective, according to the recording you presented and the confession of this supposed accomplice, how certain are you about my client's involvement in the criminal activity, specifically the disappearance of babies. from hospitals?"

"It's completely accurate," Alistair replied, adjusting himself in his seat. "When we reviewed old case files and unsolved cases, we found that about thirty years ago, there was a period when hospitals were deemed unsafe because infants were mysteriously dying at birth or in their incubators. At the time, a thorough investigation was conducted, but nothing was found. However, upon reviewing those documents, we uncovered numerous Irregularities-key points that were deliberately overlooked. This suggests that even back then, they had people covering for them... And I must say, your client has a long history, starting her career when she was just sixteen."

"The answer lies in their last case, in which they killed a child. We believe it was someone they weren't supposed to touch because the next day, some of their accomplices were found mutilated in their homes after the bodies of the mother and daughter were discovered," Alistair explained, glancing at the couple, who looked visibly nervous. "But as you know, they loved easy money, so they found another way to get it.

"I understand. Thank you," Herman said, looking at Alistair. "I have no further questions."

"Those weren't even questions," Vanessa muttered in frustration.

"Order," the judge said, clearly irritated.

Deborah stared at the lawyer... for once, she agreed with Vanessa-those weren't questions. It was more like the lawyer was trying to confirm something.
