Two days later, Romeo was seated in a cab, heading to the state court where the court proceedings between the NovaTech group and the Davidson family was to be heard. The radio in the cab was tuned to a news station, and the broadcaster's voice filled the vehicle as he spoke about the impending court case between the NovaTech group and the Davidson family."Today's the big day, folks," the radio announcer declared. "The courtroom is buzzing with anticipation as the NovaTech group prepares to face off against the Davidson family over the three billion dollars lost in the cyber attack."As the broadcast continued, Romeo couldn't help but overhear a conversation between a few business CEOs and elites there at the background after they were asked for their opinions concerning the impending court case."I just can't wrap my head around it," one of the CEO's exclaimed incredulously. "Why would NovaTech go after the Davidsons like this? They're worth billions themselves." He replied to an in
"Or else what?" Romeo sounded daring and non chalant.Jane fell silent for a moment, her gaze narrowing at Romeo before she spoke again. "Must you always create a scene everywhere you go?" she began, as her tone dripped with frustration. "You're always in the habit of causing trouble wherever you go.""Maybe if you were nice and speak to me with a little kindness, I wouldn't be much of a troublemaker whenever I'm with you people," Romeo defended himself, as his voice was tinged with exasperation.Mrs. Davidson's face flushed with anger, and she interjected sharply, "You know, we all are not supposed to stand before this trash in front of us. We have better things to do with our time. Let's go, girls."With that, the three women turned to leave, but as Linda attempted to wave goodbye to Romeo, Mrs. Davidson seized her hand and pulled her away, steering her in their direction.As Mrs. Davidson, Linda, and Jane moved away from Romeo, a group of bystanders who had witnessed the confrontat
As Romeo and Inspector Bachmann made their way towards the courtroom, they walked side by side, with their footsteps echoing against the marble floors of the grand building. Inspector Bachmann's demeanor was composed, and his strides purposeful, while Romeo's steps were slightly hesitant, his mind still reeling from the earlier altercation.As they entered the courtroom, Romeo's eyes scanned the scene, taking in the array of faces and the hushed murmurs that filled the air. On one side, he spotted the Davidsons, their expressions were slightly tense as they sat together, with their shoulders stiff with apprehension. Across from them sat the NovaTech executives, flanked by a team of attorneys, their demeanor confident and assured.However what caught Romeo's attention the most was the figure of the attorney standing in front of the Davidsons. She possessed the same regal bearing and commanding presence as the woman he had seen earlier, escorted by bodyguards. Was she the mysteriou
As the tension in the courtroom reached its peak, Jason Friedl, the attorney representing NovaTech, stepped forward with a sense of purpose. His demeanor was one of determination, his gaze was unwavering as he addressed the judge and the assembled audience."Ladies and gentlemen of the court," he began, with his voice projecting with authority, "we are here today to address a grave injustice that has befallen NovaTech, a company dedicated to technological innovation in agriculture."With a solemn expression, Jason recounted the events that led to NovaTech's loss of three billion dollars. He described how, on a seemingly ordinary day at NovaTech headquarters, the bustling energy of the office was abruptly shattered by a malicious cyber attack."The attack struck without warning, crippling the company's systems and caused widespread chaos," Jason explained, as his words carried the weight of the company's devastation. "Despite the best efforts of my clients to contain the breach, the
"Mr. Friedl," Emily began, with her voice cool and composed, "you've presented a series of digital communications as evidence against my client. But in this age of sophisticated hacking and cyber manipulation, how can we be certain that these emails and text messages aren't merely a clever fabrication to incriminate Mrs. Davidson?"Jason stood tall, while exuding an unwavering confidence. "Miss Blackwood, while it's true that digital evidence can be manipulated, we have conducted thorough forensic analysis to verify the authenticity of these communications. The timestamps, metadata, and digital signatures all point to their legitimacy.""Regarding the bank statements you've brought forward," Emily continued, maintaining a fixed gaze at her opponent. "Is there definitive proof that Mrs. Davidson herself initiated these transactions? Or could it be possible that someone else gained unauthorized access to her accounts and orchestrated these financial movements without her knowledge?"Jas
With each assertion, miss Emily Blackwood cast further doubt on the prosecution's claims until Jason had no choice but to concede to the uncertainty clouding the case.With a final nod to the judge, Emily Blackwood concluded her address with poise and determination. "Your Honor, esteemed members of the jury, I implore you to carefully consider the evidence presented today. While the prosecution's case relies heavily on circumstantial digital trails, we must not lose sight of the fundamental principle of justice: proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The absence of concrete physical evidence linking my client to the crime demands scrutiny and skepticism. We must uphold the integrity of our legal system by ensuring that guilt is established based on incontrovertible evidence, not conjecture or suspicion. Thank you."As she took her seat, and at once, the tension in the courtroom lingered, with murmurs rippling through the audience. The judge announced a brief recess, during which the jury w
Romeo's frustration boiled over as he stepped out of the cab, his jaw was clenched and his fists balled up. The events of the court ruling against the NovaTech group lingered in his mind like a festering wound, compounded by the looming presence of Emily Blackwood's law firm. However, this was coming after his success there at the Fisticuffs Fiesta were he had poured out every ounce of his energy into the brutal and savage competition, emerging victorious in two brutal fights to secure his place in the final competition. But the euphoria of his triumph was overshadowed by the bitter taste of the NovaTech group defeat in the courtroom.As he stood outside the imposing law firm which was the building that housed Emily Blackwood office, Romeo couldn't shake the sense of injustice that gnawed at him. Mrs. Davidson's acquittal had dealt a devastating blow to his plans, and he seethed with anger at the thought of her smug satisfaction.With determined strides, Romeo marched towards the
Romeo felt so embarrassed, did he appear that bad?Mind you, his mind was still fixed on how he was going to confront miss Blackwood.Meanwhile, Romeo couldn't help but admire the kind heart of this disabled young lady. It almost moved him to tears, seeing that someone he had never known before would care about the useless loser which was the facade he put on infront of her.After a few minutes walk, the arrived at a certain door, which was guarded by an imposing figure."Hello sir, please this young man wishes to see Miss Blackwood." The sweet young lady would say.The imposing bodyguard at the door eyed Romeo's shabby attire with disdain. "This guy looks too useless and shallow," he muttered under his breath, as he let out a sour expression."I am sorry for that, but I think he needs a fair hearing, he deserves it, so please let him in," the disabled lady pleaded, as her voice was filled with empathy.The bodyguard frowned at Romeo before reluctantly agreeing. He proceeded to searc
