Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMany media reporters were conducting interviews, and people demanded severe punishment for the Chandler family. It seemed that Byron had angered the citizens of Gerby.
As the car waited to enter the courthouse, I overheard an elderly citizen being interviewed. He passionately said, "Byron is insane, and he does not even spare his own daughter. What kind of person is he?" Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but glance at Beatrice. Her face remained pale, and she appeared calm. Sensinglooking at her, she clasped my hand with her cold one.
The powerful voice from outside continued, "Mr. Elijah, the ex-CEO of Keller's Dairy, was a remarkable person. He's our pride in Gerby!" The old man was indignant, and his words garnered approval from the surrounding crowd.
"I'm 60 this year, and I've been drinking the milk produced by hispany for decades. This esteemed man, who has safeguarded the health of Gerby residents for so long, has suffered such cruelty. How can we not be outraged?" "That's right. After Byron took over, the quality of milk declined." "It's true. And this family is so arrogant as if they run this place." Everyone chimed in withplaints to the reporters.

When the milk poisoning incident happened years ago, I never believed it." He was shaking his head vigorously, then looked at the reporters. "Do you know why I believe in him so much?" The reporter asked, "Why?" "When Gerby experienced a major flood causing a power outage, dairy production was affected. Mr. Elijah ordered the milk produced that day to be stopped. He personally apologized to the citizens, explaining the reason. How can such a good person make poisoned milk?" "That's two innocent lives lost. They're just children. How dare they poison two innocent kids like that?" "They even claim it's due to Mr. Elijah's mismanagement.' "Nonsense! The truth wille to light one day. This scum must be sentenced to death, or the people of Gerby will never accept it." "Yes, those who collude with the Chandlers shouldn't be spared. All of us are watching." "These people support him, so he dares to do anything recklessly, from murder to extortion. He targets anyone he dislikes! What kind of person is he?" "We must seek justice for Mr. Elijah and make Byron pay with his life!" These voices were relentless. The courtroom had limited seating, so not everyone could get in, but that didn't stop the crowd from gathering.
The road in front of the courthouse had already been closed off, as too many people tried to attend the trial today.
The screens inside the courthouse were already on, playing out the facts of the case.
