"Miss Russell, do you dare attend today’s court hearing because you don't believe your brother could have done such a thing?""Miss Russell, what do you think about your brother's despicable actions?”
"If lIwere you, Miss Russell, I wouldn't even show my face here.”

"Someone as beastly as Tom doesn't deserve to live in this world. What do you think, Miss Russell?"
Standing still, Rose couldn't hold back any longer. She looked at the reporters in front of her, her gaze ice-cold."The court's verdict hasn't been announced yet. I hope you won't spread rumors without basis.”
The journalist seemed taken aback by Rose's retort.
But in the next moment, his words became even sharper, as he blurted out, "The evidence is clear. Has Miss Russell not given up on her brotheryet?”
