"As for Mrs. Lawson's intentional homicide, I can't explain it. After all, this matter involves criminal responsibility and the police will handle everything."

Selena became emotional when she heard that.

Mr. Clark had been on her side, so why was he now seemingly shifting his support?

Regardless of the current circumstances, everything could be rectified soon.

Lucy's message just came in, mentioning she's bribed several internet trolls who were on way. She could still win if they showed up and collectively testified against Freya.

Just as she was thinking this, there was a commotion outside.

"We're witnesses and here to report the murderer."

The judge frowned and gestured for the jurors to investigate.

"Freya bribed Lily to tamper with Julia's garment, all in an attempt to sabotage her rival and claim the coveted title of top designer at the prestigious international fashion competition."

"Yes, this woman is wicked. When Lily was ready to confess out of guilt, she eliminated the evidence to cover her tracks. I beg the judge not to spare this malevolent woman."

As soon as the internet trolls came, the situation quickly reversed.

Ella crossed her arms, leaned close to her and whispered, "It seems that your true identity must be revealed today."

"We'll have to reveal our true identities sooner or later, so why not boost Selena's ego first and let her bask in the glory? Then, when the situation is completely in her favour, we can pull a fast one on her. That would be hilarious."

Haha.

Indeed, it would be quite amusing.

Selena's face-changing skills were incredible, and she couldn't help but applaud them.

Freya arched an eyebrow, looked in Selena's direction, and chuckled as she stroked her nose. "Well done. Are you trying to send me to jail today after bringing in so many internet trolls?"

"But ... the outcome might not be as rosy as you imagine. You might lose miserably later, crying as you can't even walk out of this door!"

Seeing her so smug, Selena's expression twisted with a chilling intensity in her eyes.

She couldn't wait to kill this bitch right now and throw her overboard to the sharks.

Soon enough, she would witness the woman's imprisonment, ensuring she would never be free again. She was the only one who deserved the position of top designer.

When Freya was in jail, Selena would make her life worse than death!

Hidden in the shadows.

Queen Sally quietly observed everything, sensing a slight unease.

She turned to White Fox beside her. "Tell me, what exactly are you two scheming? Why do I feel Freya is confident about this trial? It's like everyone is her puppet, dancing to her tune."

White Fox tugged at her blonde hair and chuckled, "Master, have you finally caught on? That's right, this was all Boss' elaborate scheme. That dimwit Selena thought she had it in the bag, but she's already fallen headfirst into his trap. We've neutralized all the witnesses, who're singing our tune now. No matter who Selena tries to drag into this mess, they'll only end up biting her back."

"......"

So, even this whole jail thing was a trap?

Not only did they torment the scum, but they dared to deceive their Master as well.

This girl now was starting to spread her wings, wasn't she?

...

The sudden appearance of witnesses who collectively accused Freya of killing for profit turned the tide of the trial.

The judge handed over the prosecution to the plaintiff's lawyer to explain the cause of the matter.

This took another half hour.

The plaintiff's lawyer, seemingly energized, tirelessly presented Freya's guilt and responsibilities.

He rattled off a long list of accusations, painting Freya as a heinous criminal.

After finishing, the plaintiff's lawyer stared at Freya intently. "Mrs. Lawson, now that we have witness and material evidence, what do you say for yourself?"

Freya squinted, casually twirled her hair, and smiled sweetly. "Mr. Lawyer, you're quite eloquent. It seems you're accustomed to taking on cases that twist the truth. I'm curious. How much were you paid to disregard your professional ethics and fabricate accusations against me?"

Before the plaintiff's lawyer could retort, Selena yelled, pointing at her in rage. "Freya, how can you be so shameless? The evidence is overwhelming now and your murderous intent can no longer be hidden. How dare you still accuse me of bribing my lawyer? That's defamation. I can sue you for that!"

"Wait, I never said you were bribing the plaintiff's lawyer. Why are you so eager to admit it?"

"You ..."

Selena was seething, her mouth almost contorted.

She had fallen into Freya's trap again.

Damn bitch, so cunning!

Given their constant arguing, the judge shouted sternly, "Quiet! It's now the defendant's turn to defend herself. Non-participants, refrain from speaking."

Selena was furious but was in court and couldn't raise a scene, so she could only swallow her rage.

She refused to believe that with so many people accusing Freya, women still had a chance to turn the tables.

When the trial ended, she would give that bitch a harsh lesson!

Freya shrugged helplessly, then looked at the judge. "Your Honor, I deny the accusations made by the plaintiff's lawyer. As for why the lawyer would slander me, I've already explained that I suspect he received substantial benefits. However, I won't publicly disclose who it was from."

"Moreover, the international fashion design competition will commence in a month. I have been invited to participate as a top designer. Except for my subordinate, Miss Fisher, I consider no one else a true designer. So why should I engage in power struggles and tarnish my reputation?"

What?

The people present were all stunned.

What did she mean?

She said anyone in her eyes wasn't a true designer?

She also claimed to be the top designer.

Wasn't it supposed to be Julia?

Everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces.

Even the judge was surprised and frowned deeply. "Mrs. Lawson, please provide evidence to support your claims."

Freya sighed helplessly, "Your Honor, I've reiterated my innocence. I will never admit to something I haven't done."

She paused for a moment, deciding not to reveal her identity just yet. Ending the game so soon wouldn't be fun.

Her words made someone burst into laughter while gripping their stomach.

"That's hilarious! She claims to be the top designer. What about Julia, then?"

"Exactly! This woman must be desperate for fame."

"I wouldn't be surprised if those witness testimonies were true. This woman seems capable of anything to climb the ladder."

"......"

What a bunch of idiots!

Her intentions were crystal clear, yet they kept babbling nonsense.

Oh well, why bother arguing with someone not thinking straight?

Freya didn't want to explain anything, so she sat back and waited for them to figure it out.

Amidst the crowd's laughter, only the plaintiff's lawyer stared intently at Freya.

He was an experienced lawyer with a strong eye for people. From the start, Freya seemed unnaturally peaceful to him.
