Chapter 917: Chapter 917 Pessimism_1

During the recess, Purple Summers and Henry Jameson went to the lounge.

“Did I screw this up?” Henry Jameson was caught in a fit of rage and anxiety. He tried to suppress it, but it was beyond his control, and he paced the lounge restlessly.

“I should have been calmer.” He grasped his own hair, “I lost my temper in court. Will the jury think I’m someone who is easily impulsive?”

“Don’t worry too much, your performance wasn’t that bad,” Purple Summers sighed softly, “but, it wasn’t that great either.”

She looked at Henry Jameson, her brows furrowed, “Honestly, Henry, don’t you find this whole situation strange? Right after you left, Sean Patterson was found dead in the bathtub. Haven’t you ever suspected Noelle Nichols? Not even a little, not even the slightest chance?”

“Hannah wouldn’t murder Sean Patterson!” Henry Jameson answered vehemently.

Purple Summers pursed her lips, somewhat helpless at his response, “I know you love her, but… What I need isn’t your conclusion. I need a reason that can sway the jury, any reason. Henry, just standing in the courtroom shouting that you didn’t commit murder is of no help in proving your innocence. Do you understand?”

“She really couldn’t have killed Sean Patterson. It’s just not possible…” Henry Jameson paced back and forth in the lounge, stopping and starting his sentences.

Finally, he stopped.

“Hannah loved him,” Henry Jameson said with difficulty, “…She, loved Sean Patterson a lot.”

“But she chose to marry you?” Purple Summers’ frown deepened, “I don’t understand…”

“She loves me too, but… it’s a different kind of love. I don’t know how to explain it to you.” Henry Jameson bit his lip, his complexion ashen, “After Hannah decided to marry me, she always felt like she was betraying Sean Patterson. She said that it was the first time she defied Sean Patterson, and she felt very sorry for him.”

Purple Summers was stunned: “Why? Sean Patterson was just her manager…”

“It’s different,” Henry Jameson sighed, explaining, “Hannah’s parents divorced when she was very young, and they started new families. She grew up lacking affection, and it was Sean Patterson who brought her up. He taught her how to conduct herself, how to dress, you could say that in some ways, he took on the role of her parents.

Hannah often told me, her relationship with Sean Patterson was like a father and a friend. However, everything has two sides. While Sean Patterson cared for and looked after Hannah, he also had many restrictions for her. No spicy food, no carbonated drinks, no dark-colored clothing, no this, no that. Every time Hannah couldn’t stand it, she would complain to me, but after the complaints, she still couldn’t leave him!

“She had ten years of emotions towards Sean Patterson; he had become a part of her! That day when I stormed out in anger, although Hannah followed me, do you know what she told me? She suggested calling off tomorrow’s wedding, we could just register our marriage secretly, and it would be the same if we held the ceremony later!”

Upon recollecting this, Henry Jameson’s smile was bitter: “I asked her then, whose feelings were more important, Sean Patterson’s or mine? Why did we have to be so secretive about our marriage, as if we were doing something shameful?!”

Purple Summers understood, “So that’s the real reason you left her alone and went for a drive by yourself.”

“Yes, at that time… I lost control of my emotions, I was very, very angry.” Henry Jameson weakly punched the wall of the lounge, desolate to the core, “I was afraid if I stayed there any longer, I would do something impulsive, so I drove away from there, I… I really didn’t commit murder.”

Purple Summers was silent, not saying a word.

The case really didn’t look good.

If I’ve estimated correctly, Noelle Nichols should be the next one, facing Allen Rivera’s questioning. It’s uncertain how long Noelle Nichols will hold out…
