A shrill, piercing female voice rang out from the gallery, and this act of taking all the blame upon herself utterly stunned everyone's ears!
Even Cecilia Vaughn was momentarily dazed.
She looked in disbelief toward Florence Warner in the audience, never having imagined that she would shoulder all the blame for Fiona Vaughn.
Of course, Florence being an accomplice was no surprise, but to say she'd clear Fiona's name out of motherly love? That's just ridiculous.
...
No matter how unbelievable it seemed, this was exactly what happened.
Florence Warner broke down in wailing sobs, slapping her own face again and again.
"Your Honor, if you want to arrest someone, arrest me! This really has nothing to do with my daughter!"
"The rotten idea to drug Cecilia in the first place—that was mine! I was the one who sent for the young master of the Trent Family! Even that string of pearl earrings I gave Winston Zane, I took them off to show my sincerity!"
