Chapter 59 A Witness At The City Hall

• A sudden hush fell over the crowd, the air thick with anticipation. Even the faintest noise felt like an intrusion in the stillness of the hall, as all eyes turned to Hanson, waiting for an explanation that felt increasingly crucial.
• The crowd shifted slightly, eyes narrowing, as Molitta stepped forward, her voice dripping with venom. “This criminal, along with his ungrateful wife, has been tearing the Steele family apart! This beast steals from us even as we feed, clothe, and shelter him!”
• The tension was palpable; even the youngest among them sensed the gravity of the moment. Old Lady Steele was known for her uncompromising stance against wrongdoing, especially when it involved her family’s honor. It was clear to everyone present that Alora and her husband were in deep trouble.
