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

Her eyes were red from crying, and her voice was weak."So my mother really killed our daughter?" she asked, her lips were trembling."Yes, love," Romeo answered softly. "She hated the fact that a broke man like me was living in her house, married to her most beautiful daughter."Linda’s face twisted in pain. "She…she’s so cruel. How could she ensure that a newborn baby—her own grandchild—was brutally killed? My baby..." Her voice broke as tears streamed down her cheeks.Romeo gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close. "It’s okay, love. Don’t worry about that now," he whispered, trying to soothe her. "It’s over. We’ll get through this."She let out soft sobs, but after a while, Romeo’s comforting touch calmed her.

    Joseph Schultz took a deep breath before continuing his testimony, the weight of his words heavy in the silent courtroom. “However, Your Honor,” he began, “that is not her only sin. Mrs. Davidson was also responsible for the cyber attack on NovaTech, which caused the company to lose billions of dollars. This attack led to the tragic death of Miss Chen, the CEO of NovaTech, who took her own life after the collapse of her business.” Gasps filled the room as the people listened in shock. The judge leaned forward slightly. “What evidence do you have to prove this, Mr. Schultz?” Joseph reached into his pocket and pulled out a small flash drive. “I have a voice recording, Your Honor. This recording captures Mrs. Davidson speaking with the computer experts who carried out the heist.” “Can we hear it?” the judge asked, his voice calm but firm. Joseph nodded and handed the flash drive to a court officer, who inserted it into a laptop. Moments later, the sound of Mrs. Davidson’s voice fill

This is nothing but a disgusting attempt to ruin my reputation!"Her words echoed through the courtroom, and people shifted in their seats, taken aback by her sudden aggression."Y

    Two black bullet proof SUV vehicles pulled up in front of the hospital were Helen was. The doors opened, and General Romeo Stormbreaker stepped out. He didn’t wait for his security detail. His mind was only on Helen. He rushed toward the emergency department, with his military boots hitting the ground fast and hard.Without his usual moustache, the citizens nearby didn’t recognize him. Some glanced at him, confused by his familiar face, but they didn’t know who he was. Romeo ignored them and hurried through the hospital’s front doors, his eyes were scanning the area.“Where is the emergency department?” he asked the receptionist, his voice was tense.“Down the hall, first door to the left,” she quickly replied.Romeo followed her directions, walking fast. As he reached the entrance of the ward, he saw Helen’s mother, father, and sister waiting in the corner. They looked nervous, pacing back and forth.

She turned her head towards the door and sighed.“Come in,” she called, expecting maybe a servant or a guest looking for a quiet moment.To her surprise, two men in military uniforms stepped inside. Linda’s eyebrows furrowed, her eyes were questioning their sudden appearance.“Madam Linda,” one of the soldiers said firmly, “your presence is needed in the celebration hall.”Her confusion deepened. “What happened? Why is my presence needed? I just left there a few moments ago.”The soldier straightened. “Those are General Stormbreaker’s orders.”Linda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “General Stormbreaker?” she repeated, her heart skipping a beat.“Yes, madam. General Stormbreaker,” confirmed the soldier.Without a word, Linda stood up, her legs started feeling heavier with each step as she moved towards the door.

Don’t give me that look, I’m just kidding.”Mrs. Davidson frowned. “Are you mocking me?” she asked sharply, as her eyes narrowed.“No, no,” Joseph replied, shaking his head. “Come on, Mrs. Davidson, don’t take this too seriously. There’s no way that trash ex-son-in-law of yours is anything important, now or in the future.”Mrs. Davidson's gaze softened slightly, but her voice remained cold. “You’re very lucky you’re not mocking me,” she warned, as her tone was full of danger. “If you were, you’d be met with bitter consequences.”She brushed past him and moved toward the crowd, who were once again celebrating as if nothing had happened.Meanwhile, Linda slipped away quietly, her mind was spinning after everything that had happened. She headed up the stairs to her room, still inside the mansion, her footsteps were slow and heavy.When she reached her room, she closed the door behind her and leaned against i
