Chapter 8 - The Woman Who Refused to BreakThe courtroom was packed.
Reporters filled every seat.
Cameras waited outside.
Khloe entered with Marcus beside her.
Inside the witness box, she faced Sterling Hayes, Isabella's brilliant defense attorney.
He attacked her credibility relentlessly.
"Mrs. Thorne, isn't it true your husband's company benefited financially after my client's arrest?"
Khloe's hands trembled.
"Yes."
"So your family had something to gain?"
Khloe looked at him.
"We gained nothing from what happened to me."
Hayes smiled.
"But your husband's business expanded."
"That doesn't mean I wanted Isabella to attack me."
The courtroom became silent.
Khloe swallowed.
"I remember everything."
Her voice grew stronger.
"I remember her face. I remember what she said. I remember falling."
She looked toward Isabella.
"And I remember thinking only about whether my baby would survive."
Isabella stared at her.
For the first time, Khloe saw something behind her former rival's eyes.
Fear.
The truth was winning.
But Dante wasn't worried.
As Khloe stepped down from the witness stand, she saw him checking his watch.
