Chapter 276
Melanie, seated beside Naomi, was constantly dabbing at her tears. She hadn't expected Ivan to harm Jessica because of his infidelity. It turned out that he'd used Jessica to cover up his act.
Seeing that his affair with Simone could no longer be hidden, Ivan rose from his seat and said nonchalantly, "Yes, I confess that I no longer love Jessica. I cheated on her.
"I admitted to Jessica that I was having an affair and asked for a divorce. She said that she needed time to think about it.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
"I didn't expect her to do something so extreme and jump off a building. All I have to say is that I had nothing to do with what happened to her.
"I Since Jessica was still in a coma, Ivan could say whatever he wanted. There was no one to contradict his story.
He turned to Naomi and sneered, "Did you really think these photos could incriminate me? Are you trying to push the blame on me? If that's all you got as a lawyer, I suggest for you to quit your job and be a stay-at-home wife."
Naomi merely smiled and replied, "You need to be patient."
She then turned to the presiding judge and continued, "Your Honor, we request to present the second piece of evidence."
The presiding judge replied, "The plaintiff's request to present the second piece of evidence is approved."
Ivan's expression darkened upon learning that Naomi had a second piece of evidence.
However, he quickly regained his composure as he recalled that he hadn't let Naomi into his house. Therefore, it was impossible for her to obtain any evidence.
After receiving the judge's approval, Naomi played a recording and explained, "The second piece of evidence was provided by a witness staying in the defendant's neighborhood.
Chapter 276.
"The witness is a minor. In consideration of their safety and the fact that the video is an authentic live footage, we have decided not to summon the witness to testify."
Once Naomi had finished speaking, a video of Ivan's house started playing on the projector screen. Although the video hadn't been filmed inside his house, it was still clear and vivid.
In the video, Ivan was seen physically assaulting and hurling objects at Jessica in the living room.
No matter how she tried to evade and plead for mercy, Ivan showed no signs of stopping. He continued with the assault, hitting her harder with each blow.
"As we can see from the footage, the defendant has a strong tendency for violence.
His attacks on the victim were inhuman. Needless to say, Ivan was responsible for the old wounds on Jessica.
"Apart from the drone recording, we have managed to obtain the surveillance footage from the defendant's home. This would allow us to know the extent of the victim's suffering and Ivan's motive for the murder."
"Ivan, please stop. I'm begging you."
"Ivan. Ivan, please."
"Are you doing this to me because I can't bear a child? The doctor said there's nothing wrong with my body. I'm capable of being pregnant. Let's not rush this, okay?
Upon hearing the mention of a child, Ivan grabbed a chair and smashed it against her.
"A child? Do you have the money to support them? You are such a disgrace! I thought I would receive a hefty dowry from your parents when I married you.
"Little did I know that they only gave 200 thousand dollars. You're such a worthless
bitch. Get your parents to transfer the house to you. You'd better not let that bitch, Melanie, get it."
After watching Ivan smash the chair on Jessica once more, Naomi said,
"Defendant, if our medical report is accurate, you are suffering from Necrospermia. You are incapable of conceiving children."
There was no way Naomi would let a

scumbag like Ivan off easily. Shen publicly exposed Ivan's infertility without any hesitation.
Ivan grew pale, and he picked up the nearby sign and hurled it at Naomi.
"You bitch! How dare you invade my privacy? I'm going to sue you. You shall rot in
jail. Where did you get all the footage from? You must have obtained in through illegal means. None of the evidence is admissible."
