Chapter 103
“Report on her actions?”
“That’s surveillance, isn’t it?”
David, who had been watching this scene, felt his insides boiling with rage.
‘Where did that wench suddenly come from…!’
He wanted to grab that lowly wench by the collar and ask what nonsense she was spouting, but having already received a warning from the judge, he couldn’t move recklessly.
“Furthermore, it’s false that Lady Scofield had a one-sided crush on Duke Laventess.”
“D-did you hear that?”
“It really is an affair…!”
At that moment.
David glared at the spectators with a menacing look.
“Gasp.”
The spectator who had unconsciously uttered the word “affair” belatedly covered their mouth.
However, the spectators’ gazes were not particularly kind.
‘Shouldn’t he have just acted honorably from the beginning?’
‘He committed adultery himself, so why is he taking his anger out on us?’
Meanwhile, Judy’s testimony continued steadily.
“The young lady believed herself to be the Duke’s true lover. Although she committed a grave mistake at this harvest festival, that too was because she trusted in the Duke’s love.”
It was a clever statement.
At first glance, it seemed like she was sympathizing with Catherine and trying to protect her somehow.
But in reality, it was a statement that completely confirmed the inappropriate relationship between David and Catherine.
“In fact, the Duke provided financial support so that the young lady could live comfortably. Even the mansion where the young lady resides was arranged by the Duke.”
The spectators exchanged glances with each other.
‘Did you hear that?’
‘There was even financial support.’
The spectators, who clicked their tongues inwardly, turned their attention back to Judy’s words.
“Moreover, the Duke visited the mansion several times and spent time alone with the young lady.”
Judy concluded her statement with emphasis.
“All of this is fact that I witnessed directly.”
After the two testimonies ended, the atmosphere in the courtroom clearly shifted toward Isabel’s side.
“If that’s true, then the Duchess’s request for divorce is completely understandable.”
“It doesn’t seem like lies, does it?”
“Exactly, the testimonies are too specific.”
While the spectators were quietly murmuring.
“Everyone, maintain order!”
The judge raised his voice to calm the spectators.
“This concludes the first witness testimony. Witness, you may leave.”
Judy bowed her head and left her seat.
The judge opened his mouth again.
“Next witness, please enter.”
Creak.
The door opened.
Along with it, a gorgeous beauty like a single rose revealed herself.
Her red hair was carefully pinned up.
She wore an elegant dress tailored to fit her body perfectly.
The identity of that beautiful lady who confidently held her chin high was…
“Lady Scofield?!”
“Don’t tell me the baronet’s daughter is going to testify herself!”
Not only the spectators, but even the jury members stirred violently.
But the most shocked person in this place was undoubtedly David.
‘Catherine, why the hell is that bitch here?!’
David’s eyes widened.
His blue eyes were already stained with shock.
“I, Catherine Scofield, swear to give only truthful testimony without lies according to my conscience.”
After finishing the witness oath with such a clear voice.
Catherine boldly declared.
“My position hasn’t changed at all from before. The Duke and I loved each other.”
Good grief, what ridiculous nonsense!
To avoid showing his shaken state to the outside, David clenched his fists tightly.
He put so much force that his bones protruded white over the back of his hands.
Meanwhile, at Catherine’s bombshell statement, people became noisy like a swarm of bees once again.
“Did the Lady just say she loved him?”
“Was it really an inappropriate relationship after all?”
“Everyone quiet, quiet!! Be silent!!”
The judge raised his voice.
Thus the courtroom finally became quiet.
Catherine spoke again.
“I first met the Duke three years ago. I saw him at an outdoor party hosted by the Milton family.”
It was such a long-standing relationship?
People unconsciously swallowed their dry saliva.
This was almost around the same time he married the Duchess, wasn’t it?
“After that, the Duke expressed his interest in me first, and I too was helplessly excited by the Duke. In my eyes, the Duke seemed like the perfect man.”
Catherine continued with an intoxicated voice.
“The Duke was kind to me. He told me many times. That he had no choice but to marry for his family, but I was his only true lover.”
David breathed heavily.
His mind boiled with rage.
He wanted to rush into the witness stand right now and cover Catherine’s mouth, but.
‘Please endure it.’
The lawyer beside him sent desperate glances.
Right, it would be troublesome to further upset the judge here.
David forcibly suppressed his emotions.
“And so we continued our relationship. The house where I currently stay became our love nest for the two of us…”
Haah.
Catherine let out a sweet sigh.
But that was only momentary.
“But His Grace cruelly abandoned me.”
Her expression, which had been reminiscing about the past with wistful eyes, suddenly turned cold.
A frigid voice followed.
“He denied our love and demanded that I testify that I had a one-sided crush on His Grace. But I couldn’t do that.”
Catherine was now completely immersed in her own misfortune.
She concluded her words in a thoroughly theatrical tone.
“Even though His Grace trampled on and mocked my pure feelings, I was sincere about our relationship.”
“…”
“…”
People unconsciously fell silent, each closing their mouths.
At this very moment.
Catherine was overwhelming the courtroom.
“I understand that everyone will find my words hard to believe. That’s why I will tell you information that only someone who spent nights with His Grace could know.”
Catherine straightened her back.
“His Grace prefers more open places rather than the bedroom. He enjoys the thrill. I thought even that was manly of him.”
People’s eyes widened at that explicit expression.
But Catherine’s words weren’t finished yet.
“He’s basically someone who sleeps a lot. He would fall asleep quickly after our relations ended. Actually, I wanted to have various conversations after our relations, but it was disappointing that His Grace fell asleep too early.”
That crazy bitch!
Does that woman have no shame?!
David’s face turned red and blue.
“After that, when he wakes up from sleep, he always smokes tobacco. So I had to prepare tobacco in advance. As for tobacco preferences, he favors cool scents, and I mainly purchased mint-scented ones from the Tormo brand.”
At the same time, Isabel let out a snicker.
Because every single characteristic of David that Catherine was revealing was completely true.
The reason her mouth tasted bitter even in the midst of this was.
‘There’s a lot I don’t know either.’
What did she care whether he enjoyed thrills or not.
That meant Catherine and David must have spent passionate nights together many times.
Catherine’s voice dropped to an intimate whisper.
“And he has a small star-shaped mole on his left chest. It’s exactly the size of a pinky nail and very cute. After our relations ended, I would always kiss him there…”
“Shut up!”
Unable to bear it any longer, David erupted in a frenzied shout.

Damn girl. Catherine has redeemed herself in my eyes.
It is b*tchin’ behaviour to walk in and talk about that in such detail.
