Unfortunately, this time, the audience is completely unconvinced.

Believers? Believers of Mammon, perhaps!

“In that case, Ms. Allen.”

Truman said, "You should be able to produce at least one or two pieces of evidence to prove that you did not apply for the bailout in Mr. Hopkins' name, right?"

"This concerns your innocence, so please produce it!"

At that moment, Truman felt a surge of relief.

When I asked Mary for evidence before, she would either cry or make a scene and refused to hand it over.

Now, the roles have reversed. Let's see if you can come up with anything!

"Evidence?"

Mary seemed to be reminded; she suddenly remembered.

"That's right!"

She said, "My application form! The second application form! You can see it, I didn't mention Hopkins' name on it!"

This is indeed evidence.

However, upon hearing this, Truman shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Allen, we tried very hard to find your second application form, but we couldn't find it at all."

Did you really submit it?

Me, me, me

In that instant, Mary was plunged into despair.

She seemed to see a giant black hand crushing down on her.

Not found?

You just don't want to find it!

It's so dark! It's absolutely dark!

I am just a weak woman, how can you bully me like this!

"Ms. Allen!"

Truman's voice turned completely serious, "Since you insist that you did not use Mr. Hopkins' name to apply for relief funds..."

"Then please submit the relevant evidence!"

"me……"

Mary suddenly rolled her eyes back and fainted.

The courtroom erupted into chaos, and medical staff rushed forward to carry Mary to the infirmary.

Truman stood still, showing no sign of discouragement.

She made a request to the judge: "Your Honor, I request that a second witness come forward."

You like to pretend to be dizzy, don't you?

Now that you've used this trick, I'd like to see how the next person plans to escape.

By this time, the second plaintiff was already completely limp and could barely hold the child in his arms.

How could this be?

The promise I heard before wasn't like this!

Those who contacted me clearly said that it concerned issues between men and women, which were inherently difficult to explain.

All you need to do is be firm in your attitude and act a little pitiful.

In the end, Hopkins had no choice but to pay money to settle the matter privately, leaving him with no room for resistance!

but

Why did the scene turn into this state before a single court hearing was even over?

The judge began to urge them on, and his voice sounded like a death knell from hell.

"me……"

The woman looked at the bailiff and walked towards her step by step.

She could almost see herself being arrested and imprisoned for falsely accusing a government official.

No, no!

Suddenly, the woman became ruthless.

She threw the child in her hands directly into the arms of the bailiff.

This child wasn't hers to begin with; it was arranged by those councilors, a child actress they found from who-knows-where.

I wouldn't feel any heartache if I threw it away.

The bailiffs were caught off guard and hurriedly caught the child.

Then the woman ran quickly toward the courthouse door, which was right in front of her.

That place!

Once we get to that place...

Hope was within reach, but suddenly, a heavy force pressed down on her.

The woman suddenly let out a sharp scream and struggled desperately.

"Let me go! Let me go! Ahhhhhh! Let me go!"

"Arrest her!"

The judge stood up and roared.

After this woman's outburst, the entire courtroom lost all face.

The camera flashes went off non-stop; the reporters really hadn't expected to capture such a news story.

What a steal!

The chaos at the scene lasted for a long time before it quieted down.

The judge sat back down, panting heavily, unable to calm his anger for a long time.

At this point, there is no longer any need for the trial to continue.

The jury quickly reached a verdict.

Elinor Hopkins, not guilty!

As for the three witnesses' false accusation, a separate case will be filed and the trial will be held at a later date.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hopkins."

The judge looked at Eleanor and said, "The verdict is now in, and your reputation is cleared."

Upon hearing this assessment, Eleanor showed no sign of relief.

He maintained this somber expression as he led Truman out of the courtroom, where reporters immediately swarmed around him.

"Mr. Hopkins, congratulations on protecting your reputation!"

"What do you have to say to those women who falsely accused you?"

Do you believe there's something else going on behind this incident?

Eleanor looked up at the reporters who were eagerly waiting to hear big news.

He finally spoke.

Thank you all for your concern.

He said, "But at this moment, I don't feel any relief."

"Perhaps you think that I saved my reputation, which is something to celebrate."

But the truth is quite the opposite.

"What I truly wanted to protect, I failed to protect at all."

"This trial is a complete failure for me."

Upon hearing this answer, the reporters exchanged bewildered glances, unable to comprehend its meaning.

"Mr. Hopkins, could you elaborate further?"

"of course can."

Eleanor sighed, "Although this accusation is completely false, many brave women have stood up to prove my innocence."

"However, this exposes the real problems of the Federation."

"A respectable woman, forced by circumstances, had to lie and say that her child was someone else's illegitimate child in order to receive relief and survive."

"Is this right? This is not right!"

"Our federal relief efforts still have significant problems."

"This is a severe test that we urgently need to solve!"

"I hereby promise you that President Roseve will do everything in her power and dedicate everything she has."

"Let this never happen again! Let everyone in the Federation live with dignity!"

Upon hearing this, the reporters present were all filled with awe and respect.

What a noble spirit this is!

Even in court, he was thinking about the well-being and dignity of the federal government!

"Hope..."

The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but Eleanor interrupted them.
