The screen immediately displayed a forensic video analysis report. At the bottom, the signature read: “The Forensic Technology Department“.

Ennica sull felt like she was dreaming as she followed Zayne out of the courtroom. They had only taken a few steps when an angry voice rang out. “Enrical Stop night there!”
jilliana stormed up to her, raising her hand to slap her “was this your doing, you bitch? Are you trying to ruin my son?
