The two ladies hesitated.. They already had a bad feeling about the incoming messages and hesitated before actually making a move to take it.Becky bent down and picked up her phone from the table. And as she picked it and opened it, she gasped..her feet had gone weak as she stared at the content of the message."What's it? What did you see?" Nora questioned but Becky was too shocked to even speak. And so Nora got up and took the phone from her. Seeing the message for herself, she also gave the same reaction as Becky.It was a message informing them that they've been sued by Jace for the case of "kidnapping" a child and child abuse at that.On seeing the Message, the two ladies stared at each other."I knew he was going to do something like this sooner or later. I could already tell that he was going to do something like that" she said with certainty."Now what are we going to do? How are we even supposed to get ready for this l
Jace had everything ready and prepared for the hearing soon. The hearing wasn't too far away so they didn't have to wait long for it. He was already prepared for it and on the day of the hearing, he had gone to the court with the lawyer he had hired.He didn't wish to be the lawyer this time around.. although there wasn't anything stopping him from being one, he didn't feel like he should. So he hired a lawyer for the job.The court was partially filled with people who were interested in the case and partially involved in it. With the court almost filled, Jace too had arrived with his lawyer.They had already discussed the case and all that needed to be known about it. And then Jace sat down with the lawyer at their seat. Not too long, his opponent also came to the court.Becky and Nora came to the court hearing together. And they came prepared after making their discussions and plans on what they were going to do. And they also did come with LizzyAs soon as Lizzy walked into the cou
With all eyes still on Lizzy who had just finished talking, it was no surprise that Jace also had his eyes on her.He was shocked as well. Although he didn't really expect all to go smoothly..but he didn't expect that Lizzy Would be the onto stagnate all the progress that was being made. And this made him think of something that must have gone wrong.At this point Jace was already more than sure who had done this. And he was certain that the two ladies had a hand in it. They must have made his sister say whatever she was saying. And the thought of it pissed him off more...He stared at his sister with a pathetic stare as he watched her go back to her seat. And the hearing continued. But this time it wasn't going in Jace's favour anymore.The victim herself has spoken and testified against it herself so there was no point in pushing it all forward. And like that the hearing was postponed to a non definite date. Which almost meant that the hearing w
Jace wasn't the judge in Mr Albert's hearing or anything like that. He was only being a witness to the case. Standing before the people there and confirming all that he had done, especially against him.And that was what he went there to do. No matter how good Mr Albert's lawyer had proves to be, he couldn't save the situation at all. He also couldn't save Mr Albert from the trouble he was in. Because soon enough, the hearing was over and Mr Albert was stamped Guilty and ordered straight to jail.It was Over for him so he didn't see the point of trying at all. With everyone leaving the hearing that had come to an end, he too was being taken away. By the police men and taken to jail.Jace had casually walked out of the court house. Following or Albert who had been taken away. And as he sighted him being taken into the car, he approached them.With the police men still there he took a brief permission from them and then smiled at Mr Albert. Mr Albert was glaring at him. Furiously. If l
As he walked towards the dinning table, Hana looked up at him. Jace came to sit down besides her at the dinning table.. both with drinks in their hands.Hana stared at Jace who had taken some gulps from the drink in his hand."How's the business going? The new place. Have you checked it out yet?" He asked her.Hana sighed "Yeah. I've gone there and looked around. And as expected, it looked too good to be real" she smiled as she had some sips "I still can't believe that it's mine at the moment. So I suppose what's left is to Start the work of making it mine. I've already connected and spoken with those whom you've connected me with "She said as she looked at him "They're gonna help me start the business""What do you planning on investing more in the business? What line are you heading to more in the business?" Jace asked, staring at her."I think it's pretty obvious. Medicine " She said with a smile as she continued "My father h
"oh yeah. I remember something. " Hana said as she stopped drinking and looked at me.Jace Paused as she looked at her "And what's it?""it's something I've been meaning to ask you for a while now. but I never got the opportunity to do that. And now I remember I think I should do that..I was talking to my father. and he brought something up" she said as she looked at JaceJace paused for a while as his mind went to different places in thoughts. And then he raised an eyebrow and asked "And what's it about? Specifically about?""Well even I was confused... because he said something like...me and you being in love or something" She looked at him "Something like you wanting to ask me out or something?"Jace stiffened as soon as she brought that up. He had felt a Heavy sense of second-hand embarrassment as he smiled and instantly looked away."No. Forget about it, it's not important at all. So don't don't think much about it " He Smiled it off while drinking."And why would I?" She smiled
"And what's the idea?" Becky asked Nora as soon as she said that.Nora smiled. She stared into thin air for awhile as if she was thinking about something. "Since he's going to hold a hearing soon, then I don't think we should simply underestimate him. Because for some reason I feel like he's going to come up with something Grand for it. Something he could use against us. So we'll have to do something of course. And I think I know what we should do""And what's it?" "His secret"Nora had casually said as Becky stared at her, confused "His secret? And what's that?"Nora smiled "I have something on him. It may not be too much of a secret. But it's something that we can supposedly use against him.. especially in court. And I think I'll bring up some spark to the atmosphere.""And at least it could divert all attention to him and have people question his integrity. And that's the idea of him being a murderer "As Nora said t
As soon as Jace got down from the car, he was instantly surrounded by the media. They had gathered him with endless questions, curious to know his answers. And also hoping he would answer."Why did you call for another hearing as soon as today? Do you feel like the first one wasn't effective Enough?""Did your Perhaps feel like the first hearing you had didn't reflect the card you have well and now you have a better way to win this one? Is that why you called for another hearing as soon as possible?""How confident are you about this hearing? Do you think that you're going to win this time around?""What should we look up to from this hearing? Anything special?"They asked endless questions but Leo didn't even bother replying. Rather he walked away from them and beaded into the Court room. As expected, he wasn't going to give them any answers.In the same way The car for the two ladies arrived. Becky and Nora had arrived with Lizzy. And they were also surrounded by the media who was a
