Chapter 11: The Courtroom Truth

Chapter 11: The Courtroom Truth

The courtroom was silent.

Emily testified.

Her voice shook.

But she never looked away.

Victoria sat across from her.

For the first time…

She looked ashamed.

Not angry.

Not powerful.

Just broken.

The judge asked Emily:

“Why did you continue protecting the children?”

Emily answered:

May you like

“Because they were innocent.”

Those words changed everything.
