Before Celeste or Matthias could respond, Narcissa sneered at Celeste again.
"But, Ms. Rodriguez, justice is in the hearts of the people. No one's going to believe your excuses anymore, so you might as well stop wasting your time. Wouldn't it be better to preserve the last shred of dignity you have left?"
Celeste showed no reaction.
Matthias, however, smiled. "What a wonderful thing to say—'justice is in the hearts of the people.'"
He then glanced toward Quentin on the stage. "The two of you have put on quite the righteous display, bravely standing up for your friend. I genuinely admire that. But do you know who I admire even more?"
His gaze shifted to Wynn. "Ms. Locket, from what I can see, one of them genuinely admires you, while the other genuinely considers you a friend. Yet you've deceived both of them. Doesn't your conscience bother you at all?"
He paused, then chuckled. "Oh, that's right. I forgot. You don't have a conscience to begin with. After all, it's hereditary."
Wynn's expression changed. But she paid no attention to Matthias. Her eyes remained fixed on Celeste, as though she were trying to confirm something.
Narcissa, Quentin, Jorge, and Miles all believed that, at this point, no matter how much Celeste tried to argue, public opinion could never turn in her favour. After all, the only witness who could testify on her behalf, Trevor, had already failed to "clear her name".
They knew Celeste and Matthias wouldn't simply give up and admit defeat. But Matthias's words had completely caught them off guard.
Narcissa and Quentin's expressions immediately turned cold.
Kieran, Beck, and Caleb all knew that the situation was currently extremely unfavourable for Celeste. So, when they heard Matthias speak like this, they were stunned as well. They didn't expect him to say something like that either.
Before they could think it through, Narcissa couldn't hold back any longer.
She sneered. "Mr. Yoder, I never expected a grown man like you to be so incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. Not only that, you're publicly hurling such vicious insults at a woman. You—"
"Hahahaha!"
Matthias burst out laughing. "Ms. Lackspur, vicious? Insults? Did I? I'm a very well-mannered person. How could I possibly do something like that?"
"You—"

Uhuh. And what, pray tell, is it that you know to be doing Trevor?...
Mr. Lincoln, you never raised your son. He is not a real man... When I see him, I just remember the line from the song that says "I guess no one ever told you how to be a real man."...
Did Trevor shut down the internet? If he does it, he's truly the biggest whore I've ever seen in my life... This guy raised my blood pressure throughout 800 chapters...
