As the tape ended, the courtroom fell silent as everyone tried to process what they had just heard. “It’s worth noting that Alan Miller was kind enough to provide us with the name of that doctor. He’s currently in police custody while we conduct the necessary investigations,” Alistair said. 

Frederick and Vanessa were terrified. That idiot really had betrayed them by spilling everything to Alistair. They could feel their victory slipping through their fingers. All their so–called friends had betrayed them, and on top of that, they were stuck with a useless lawyer who was doing nothing to help.
