“ I still do not understand what you are really talking about. This whole thing does not make sense to me” Jane said.

Jack heaved a sigh and sat up, looking at her with a smile.

“ Let me try and summarize everything for you.

Now, the problem here is that my family is after me and is trying very hard to destroy me completely.

    AFTER THE SENTENCEAfter the audio ended, everywhere in the room went quiet.Jack had a wide smile on his lips.Alfred looked shocked as he gave Jack a deadly stare. He knew he was not in a position to say anything at that point, and whatever he said at that time would not be considered.The judge went on to speak.“ We have heard your piece of evidence counsel, however, I don't think it is going to alter our judgment today looking at the fact the accused have already pleaded guilty to all the accusations levelled against them, and the details of the audio happen to be one of them.However, his property will be confiscated and handed over to the state, who will decide what to do.
