And I only helped because of him, not for my own gain" Despite his anger, Leander couldn’t help but smirk at Mr. Parker’s words. "I don't need your help. It sucks. It's useless and sickening that you are only looking out for yourself, and not my father or our family's legacy" "Don't act like you're better than everyone else," Leander's voice boomed, filling the air with tension. "But mark my words, I will hunt you down until you are eliminated”Upon hearing such threatening words, Mr. Parker turned to face Leander and reminded him of what he had said."Are you well aware that your statement is a threat to my right to live?

Tension hung in the air as everyone waited for the verdict during today’s court trial of Leander, who is being tried for fraud. Leander sat at the defense table, his hands clasped together tightly. Organizing her papers calmly, Heather Holbrook, his lawyer and one of the best in Ethereum, sat beside him. The judge soon restored order in the courtroom amidst the buzzing murmurs. "All rise," the bailiff announced. "The Honorable Judge Gregory presiding" Everyone stood as Judge Gregory entered, taking his seat behind the bench. "You may be seated" The prosecution lawyer, Mr. Hamilton, stood first. "Your Honor, we are here to address the charges of fraud amounting to £1.5 million against Leander Goldstein.
