My Weak Wife Is a Real Goddess novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 

Zoey stood where she was, her face deathly pale and her lips quivering. She didn’t know how to respond. 

Jenny gritted her teeth and fumed. “The video was definitely edited by someone! Maybe you even used Al face- swapping technology! Lucille, you have no shame! First, you almost killed Zoey, and now you’re trying to frame 

her!” 

“That’s right, it’s obviously a fake video. How could Zoey be such a person?” 

“Lucille Jules, you’ve gone too far! Just go die!” 

Lucille smiled. 

To be honest, while she had experienced similar situations during her time in Dilsburg, her family had always protected her well. The people around her also treated her kindly, taking her background into consideration. 

Therefore, it was the first time she had met people who were so shameless and could lie without batting an 

eye. 

What really stood out to her was that they had no remorse at all. 

Without saying a word, she played the scene of the original owner being pushed into the pond and drowned to death by them. 

The original owner’s screams in the video were agonizing and ear-piercing. Just listening to them was enough to make people’s hair stand on end. 

“Help” I don’t know how to swim!” 

“Please, save me I swear I didn’t push her.” 

“I was wrong. So wrong. If I had known this would happen, I would not have chosen to be born into this world…” 

This was the last thing the original owner said. 

After uttering these words, she seemed to have lost all will to live and allowed the group of people to press her 

underwater. 

What were these murderers doing then? 

They laughed and insulted her. They scolded her, saying she deserved to die. 

No one believed her. Everyone thought she deserved to die. 

It was they who pushed her to a dead end. 

Lucille turned off the video and looked down at the crowd, who had turned pale. “What’s wrong? Do you also want to accuse me of editing this video?” 

Everyone involved in this matter knew what really happened. Guiltily, they took a step back and remained silent 

Jenny couldn’t hold back her anger any longer and stood up, saying sternly. “So what? I said you brought this on yourself. You deserved it!” 

Lucille laughed instead of getting angry “Whether I deserve to die or not will be determined by the law. But as for you all, do you need me to educate you on the law? Aren’t you all medical students? Do you know the kind of punishment you’ll receive for the crime of intentional murder?” 

“According to Article 232 of our country’s Criminal Law, intentional homicide is punishable by death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for more than 10 years!” 

“For less serious offense, the sentence is imprisonment for more than three years but less than ten years.” “Instead of thinking about how to make amends and reduce your sentence, you’re still here speaking up for Zoey Johnson? Are you brainwashed by her?” 

Jenny’s face turned as white as a sheet at the accusation. 

Like the rest, Zoey’s face was pale and her hands hung tightly by her sides as she seethed with hatred in her 

eyes. 

That cursed Lucille! How dare she strike her like that! 

Jenny panicked and lost her composure. 

She had taken the lead in the incident that day. If they were really convicted, she would definitely have the most serious charge. 

She was still young and the thought of spending the rest of her life behind bars was unbearable. 

However, her confidence quickly returned. “Don’t think for a second that I’m intimidated by your legal threats. As long as we deny everything, what can you do? The law will not hold us all accountable! And besides, you’re standing here with us, so where’s the evidence that we intended to kill anyone?” 

Lucille sneered with her head down. “If I wasn’t standing here, you would be charged with actual murder, my foolish friends!” 

In fact, they had been murderers all along. 

The original owner of this body was killed, and an innocent life was taken! 

Lucille would personally help her get justice! 

“It’s useless to try to talk your way out of this,” Lucille said icily. Take your excuses to the police, where you belong!” 

After turning off the video and clutching the USB in her hand, she turned and left. 

She felt more and more disgusted by this filthy place with every passing second. 

Panic spread among them when they found out she was going to call the police. 

“Zoey!” Jenny ran to look for her. “Please help us! We only did that for you!” 

Zoey bit her lip tightly, suppressing her surging hatred, and chased after Lucille. 

She rushed up and grabbed Lucille’s wrist, desperation in her voice. “Please, don’t be so cold-hearted, Lucille! I’ll kneel to you if I have to, but please don’t make things difficult for them!” Thud! Zoey dropped to her knees. 

When a boy who had a crush on Zoey saw this, he became furious. 

Zoey, don’t kneel down to her! Let her call the police if she wants to! With so many of us, are we afraid of her?” 

“Exactly” another person agreed. “She’s been bullying you. We don’t have to put up with it!” 

Jenny was deeply moved to see Zoey kneel down and beg for mercy on their behalf. In a moment of heated passion, she exclaimed, “Zoey, get up! I’m not afraid of her! I want to see what she can do to us!” 

Jenny had every reason to be confident. Her family was powerful and influential, much more so than the Jules family. She had nothing to fear. 

Upon hearing Jenny’s words, the individuals who had participated in the assault immediately regained their courage, the fear in their hearts vanishing into thin air. Their previous arrogance and conceit returned. 

“Don’t be scared, Zoey. We’ll protect you.” 

“Don’t worry, we won’t let Lucille off the hook!” 

Lucille’s eyes were cold and distant as she gazed down at the weeping Zoey. Her lips curved into a sly smile. 

She was so sick and tired of this ruse. 

But did Zoey have any other tricks up her sleeve? 

Lucille knew she was quite cunning. Every time Zoey played the victim card, this group of fools behind her would fall for its hook, line, and sinker. 

No wonder the original owner of her body was trampled and abused by Zoey. 

Lucille snorted coldly and ignored Zoey, allowing herself to be helped up by others. 

Just then, four police officers entered the room. 

“Who here knows Lucille Jules?” 

Lucille turned around. “It’s me.” 

As she waited for her ride on the roadside that morning, Lucille had already called the cops, determined to resolve this matter today. 

The surveillance footage had been turned over to the police, and Lucille believed that justice would be served 

soon. 

The law would never let a guilty person slip through the cracks! 

The officer walked in and said, “So, you’re the one who reported that someone tried to kill you? The suspects are all here. Come with us.” 

The policeman took out his notebook and called out the names of the participants one by one. 

The crowd immediately cowered and stammered, “Officer, we didn’t mean to kill anyone. It was just a harmless prank.” 

The officer immediately frowned and scolded, “A prank? Do you take the law as a joke? Even if you were just playing around, your recklessness almost caused someone’s death. That’s still considered attempted murder! Take them away!” 

Several other officers rushed in and prepared to take the suspects away. 

The group immediately looked at Zoey in panic. 

On the night of the incident, Zoey solemnly informed them that she had asked Samuel to delete the surveillance footage just in case. 

However, to their surprise, the surveillance footage still ended up in Lucille’s hands. 

Well, the data of the surveillance cameras had been wiped clean anyway. They believed they could get away 

with claiming that the footage in Lucille’s possession was a forgery. 

Comforted by their belief in their own innocence, the group sneered at Lucille and prepared to leave. 

“Let’s go!” Jenny taunted Lucille, “I dare her to try and use that footage to convict us!”
