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
Nicholas was frozen in astonishment; he couldn't believe who he was seeing.Nicholas started stepping back in fear; he didn't understand what was happening anymore. What is Mr. Damien doing here? The best lawyer in TG law firm was the same person who kicked him out, saying he didn't know what he was doing.Landmark and V12 rejected him just because of his remarks.Nicholas' head was full of thought as sudden sweat covered his forehead.He never thought for a moment that Mr. Damien would ever come to Summerville to present anyone. What the hell is he doing here?With the lawyers of Landmark and V12.Could it be he missed his way?At that moment, Mr. Damien stopped in front of the judge, and the lawyers from Landmark and V12 bowed to Mr. Damien and greeted him.“Welcome, sir.”the other added.“Mr. Sir Damien”Damien just smiled at them. He never for once, thought he would be stepping foot in Summerville, but the boss of TG gave him this important mission, which he's here to do.However
Everyone at that moment couldn't believe what they were seeing in the courtroom, as Mr. Nicholas ran past them.He wasn't looking back.Four ladies, seated together in the courtroom, leaned in close, their voices barely above a whisper. Their eyes widened in disbelief, and their expressions mirrored the shock etched on each other's faces. They couldn't fathom the sight of Mr. Nicholas darting out of the courtroom like a scared chicken, his hurried footsteps echoing against the solemn walls.“He's gone!” exclaimed Sarah, her voice trembling with disbelief.“I never expected him to run away like that. He looked so confident not long ago, what could have happened to him.”Karen shook her head in disbelief, her brow furrowed with concern.“I know, it's unbelievable. What do you think prompted him to flee?”“I have no idea.”replied Emily, her voice tinged with confusion.“But it must have been something serious for him to bolt out like that.”The fourth lady, Lovi, who had been silent u
Maria's heart sank at Nicholas's words, realizing the gravity of the situation. Without hesitation, she reached for her phone, her fingers trembling as she dialed their boss's number. The call connected almost immediately, and Maria wasted no time.As she spoke, the shock registered on the boss's face, his features contorting in disbelief. “You must be joking, right?” He exclaimed incredulously. “What do you mean, Nicholas said he couldn't continue with the case. He accepted it in the first place!”The boss struggled to comprehend the sudden turn of events, his mind racing to make sense of the situation. How could Nicholas, who had initially been eager to take on the case, suddenly back out? That can never be possible. He knows Nicholas too well; he doesn't back out of something so easily, not when he accepted the case and even traveled to Summerville for it, yet Maria wants him to believe such nonsense.It cannot be possible when Nicholas knows how much they will be getting from
Lady Charlotte couldn't believe what she was hearing. How can the judge say such a thing when he knows the government lawyers are useless? He's not going to defend Wesley in any way, and the judge wants to use the same lawyer is he drunk or what?Lady Charlotte started crying inside her, Maria, and the bastard Nicholas played her; if she had, she wouldn't have believed anything from her.Kane couldn't say anything but was frozen in his position.Lady Charlotte continued to shake her head.“No, I would not allow the government lawyer to represent my grandson.”The court clerk said it out loud.“ Silent!!”And the judge hit his gavel multiple times, which made Lady Charlotte's body vibrate. She couldn't help but keep her mouth shut.The judge eyes were focused on Lady Charlotte.“This will be your last wearing; when next I hear your voice, you will be escorted out of this courtroom.”Lady Charlotte couldn't stop tears from dropping down her cheeks at the thought of Wesley in front of he
Another chimed in, her words dripping with contempt.Meanwhile, two of the women, emboldened by their shared disdain for Wesley and Lady Charlotte, who is trying to get him out, all turned their attention to Lady Charlotte. They couldn't believe an old woman like her would be trying to play such a trick when she knew what her grandson did. All of them gazed at Lady Charlotte with dead eyes. They began to mock her openly, hurling insults and disparaging remarks in Lady Charlotte's direction. “Just look at her, clinging to false hope like a fool,” one of them sneered, while another scoffed.“She's as deluded as her criminal grandson; both of them are birds of the same feather; no wonder she wants him out badly, knowing he learned from her.”Their gaze was still focused on Lady Charlotte, who couldn't say anything.Wesley sat in stunned silence as the reality of his situation sank in. His expression twisted in a tumult of emotions, ranging from disbelief to despair. He couldn't proces
