Mr. Nicholas couldn't help but smile. He thought this would be difficult to handle, but he was wrong since the case had already been settled within the family and the police were present on that day. How come it's still on the paper? They don't know how to do their job properly, and he's going to teach them some manners.He utters.“Madam, you have nothing to worry about since Wesley was forgiven at that time. The case is closed and cannot be used again, but I have a little request, and if you can provide it, just know I will be getting Wesley out immediately.”Lady Charlotte adjusted herself properly; she knew whatever Mr. Nicholas was about to say was important.“What is it, Mr. Nicholas? If it's something I can provide immediately, I will do it.”Mr. Nicholas nods.“Do you have any recordings of when Hazel said she forgives Wesley? The video would be perfect, but if there are any voice recordings, it will also be okay?”Lady Charlotte was relieved immediately; she thought it would
Marcus noticed Benjamin keeping quiet, and it was becoming strange to him, so he decided to ask.“Benjamin, is everything okay? Why are you this quiet?”Marcus knows he has done everything he needed to do for Benjamin, including the job. He even called Autumn just to make sure everything went smoothly, but it doesn't seem that was the case. Could it be something else happened to Benjamin when he left the party?“Benjamin, you know I'm here for you. Say something so I can know how to help you.”Benjamin wiped off his eyes with his hand and uttered.“I just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done. I have been thinking seriously about what I was going to say to you, but I couldn't come up with a better idea. Just know I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.”Marcus' mind calmed down; he thought Benjamin was in big trouble, which is why he couldn't say anything, not knowing he wanted to say thank you.Marcus smiled with a look of relief on his face.“You don't ha
Hazel noticed the look on Jennifer's face. She knew why Jennifer was staring at her, but she didn't want to exchange any words with her.However, Jennifer couldn't keep her calm anymore; she yelled at Hazel.“You're happy now, right, but let me tell you, your plans have failed, soon and you and that useless husband of yours will regret everything.”Hazel continued doing what she was doing without paying any attention to Jennifer's words because they were at work. She didn't want the rest of the staff to understand what was going on.Jennifer's eyes turned deadly at that moment. Hazel didn't want to say anything to her, but after everything Hazel had done, she still had the guts to keep quiet.“You keep pretending as if you didn't hear what I just said, but soon you will know your place soon, with that bastard husband of yours.”Hazel understood what she was doing. Jennifer had said more than enough; she had been keeping quiet because they were at work, but Jennifer didn't want to res
However, before reaching the court entrance door, Mr. Nicholas's eyes caught the luxurious Mercedes Sprinter parked. At first, Nicholas thought it was just an ordinary Mercedes Sprinter, but upon getting closer, he could see the branding and logo on it, which made his heart skip.Nicholas stops to have a better look.‘ This is the luxurious Mercedes Sprinter of the V12 law firm; what are they doing here? could it be that they also have a case here today, but everyone knows the V12 law firm doesn't accept jobs outside the capital, so why are their luxurious Mercedes Sprinters here?Nicholas kept murmuring to himself; his head was full of thought because he didn't understand what could have made V12 Law Firm come to Summerville.However, Nicholas cleared his mind of it; whatever it was they were doing here, it should be important and wouldn't affect him.He turned, wanting to take another step, when his eyes caught another luxurious Mercedes Sprinter, but this time it was for the Landma
“Okay, let's go get Wesley out.”All of them followed Nicholas from behind as they entered the court building.Nicholas remembers the courtroom number in which the case will be heard, and all of them went there and entered the courtroom.To their surprise, it has not started, but the family involved in the kidnapping case is being taken care of, and Mr. Nicholas and the rest of them are seated, wanting to hear the outcome of Mr. George and his son Samuel's case.Lady Charlotte's eyes widened when she noticed no lawyer was representing George and his son except for the one the government provided, who didn't say much but agreed Mr. George and his son were guilty of their crimes.The whole courtroom was quiet, and nobody could say a word.Lady Charlotte started thanking her star Jennifer was able to come up with a brilliant idea to use a law firm outside Summerville; they could have suffered the same fate as George and his son.Mr. Nicholas couldn't help but smile. He now understands wh
But the judge remained unmoved, his expression stern and unwavering as he listened to Samuel's impassioned pleas; instead, he moved on to Samuel's case as he addressed the audience.The judge recounted the details of Samuel's involvement in his father's crimes, painting a damning portrait of his complicity.Samuel's actions, particularly his role in the kidnapping of Hazel, were laid bare for all to see.This time lady Charlotte was becoming so worried if Mr. George could get life imprisonment and his son was already on his knees pleading for forgiveness. After a few minutes, she was becoming scared of Wesley's outcome.Lady Charlotte faced Nicholas, who was still smiling, which made Lady Charlotte calm down a little, but she was still worried.Kane's confidence was still high; Mr. Nicholas hadn't shown any signs of backing away, and he trusted him.Everyone kept quiet as the judge was about to give his judgment on Samuel.“After carefully studying the case and the defendants having p
Kane's heart skipped a beat as he caught sight of Marcus entering the courtroom. A shockwave surged through him, his breath catching in his throat as he struggled to comprehend what he was seeing. His eyes widened in disbelief, his brows furrowing with a mixture of astonishment and rage.“Marcus!”Kane exclaimed, his voice trembling with anger as he pointed accusingly at Marcus as he was making his way to have a seat. “Can you believe the nerve of him, Mother? After everything he's done to Wesley, he has the audacity to show his face here.”Kane's words reverberated through the hushed courtroom, drawing the attention of Lady Charlotte. Kane couldn't believe he would be seeing the bastard today. After everything he has done, the fool has the guts to step his foot inside the courtroom to laugh at Wesley. He must be happy now, thinking he has finally had everything his way, but he's wrong. Wesley will be free, and he can't wait to see the look on his face when Mr. Nicholas uses his mag
Maria kept her cool. She has started to feel so strange about all of this.Wesley, at that moment, saw Marcus. His jaw tightening, knowing he couldn't do anything, made him even more angry. The bastard is here to mock him. If not for the fact that he thought Samuel and his father were connected, not knowing they were very useless, what would he be doing here?Wesley shakes his head in disappointment. He prayed that the lawyer his grandmother came with would be able to get him out. He can't go to prison at this young age; if he had known, he would have listened to his father and stayed clear of Hazel. None of this would have happened if he had done so.He started crying inside his mind.At that moment, the judge hit his gavel.And everyone turned their attention to him.The court clerk cleared his throat, the sound echoing in the hushed courtroom.“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, his voice steady and clear.“ For the last case of today, we are here to hear the case of the People ve
