The Phantom Heiress Rising From The Shadows novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Guilty

All eyes in the courtroom shifted towards Thiago, including the judge’s

Thiago stayed calm and seated as he said to Roberto, “Oh, now you remember you’re my father? You had the love and support of my mother as you built your career. And how did you repay her? You betraged her with her own sister. When she discovered the affair, not only did you deny your actions, bet you slao fit her Even after she left you, you continued to target her. Do you truly think you deserve to be my father?”

Roberto’s complexion turned ashen as he cast nervous glances around the room. It was dear from the disgusted looks he received that he was now viewed as despicable.

The crowd, made up mostly of victims, had no trouble believing Thiago’s account.

“Such a jerk!”

“Scumbag!”

Echoes of anger rose from the audience.

Roberto paid no attention to the people from less privileged backgrounds. Their insults didn’t faze him in the slightest. He turned his focus back to Thiago and retorted sharply, “Your mother brought her downfall upon herself. Why did she hold onto the Moreno Group’s shares so desperately? If she hadn’t been so greedy, would I have done what I did? And you, you brat, I am your father, how dare you treat me like this? I will kill you

when I am out of here!”

His menacing words led the judge to strike the gavel, exclaiming. “Mind your words!”

The security personnel also intervened, saying to Roberto, “Shut up.”

Roberto threw a scornful look at the judge and acted as if the guards weren’t even there. He kept his attention locked on Thiago, his voice rising with fury. “Listen to me. Plenty have come at me, thinking they could bring me down, and every last one of them failed. You really believe you can pull it off with your schemes and the people you’ve gathered?”

His tone was defiant.

Thiago had known Roberto long enough to expect such a reaction from him. He said, “We’ll find out soon enough whether I can bring you down or not. You’re placing all your hopes on the Vargas family, but maybe no one has told you yet–the Deputy Mayor has already been removed from office. Word is, someone high up, a man named Ewing Sandoval, was taken down in connection with this, too. Are you still so sure you’ll walk out of here a free man now?”

Caught off guard, Roberto stared at Thiago, his voice incredulous. “You know about Mr. Sandoval?”

After a moment’s reflection, he vehemently denied the possibility. “Impossible! You’re just trying to intimidate me, you little brat. It seems you weren’t disciplined enough when you were a child. I should have beaten you

more.”

Chapter 154 Guilty

Brenna observed Thiago’s hands quiver slightly. Despite his outward confidence, he was visibly nervous.

She gently took the pile of documents from Thiago’s hands, located the notice about Ewing Sandoval’s suspension, and approached Roberto to show him that.

The notice was explicit and carried the official stamp from the authorities.

Roberto stared at the notice for an extended period, his complexion grow paler as he whispered repeatedly, “Impossible…”

With composure, Brenna said, “Over the past seven years, Thiago has been collecting evidence to seek justice

for his mother. He didn’t overlook those who protected you, either. He has also amassed evidence against

Ewing’s crimes. Mr. Moreno, the law won’t let you slip through its grasp this time.”

Roberto’s complexion turned ghostly white, and he slumped back into his chair.

At that instant, Harlan and Jovie, positioned at the adjacent defendant stands, were similarly taken aback. They

were well aware that Ewing was the Moreno family’s protector.

It was evident to them that the Moreno family was facing disaster now that Ewing had been brought down.

Thiago moved to the plaintiff’s stand with deliberate steps, marking the official start of the trial.

During the proceedings, Thiago laid out extensive evidence before the court, including testimonies, photographs, videos, and numerous witnesses.
