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
Everyone in the courtroom couldn't believe what they just saw. They thought Kane was running to go fight someone, not knowing he was running to go kneel beside someone. They all looked at him in disbelief.The ladies' faces froze in shock as they witnessed Kane, someone who was acting as if he couldn't be moved earlier, kneeling before a stranger. Their eyes widened with disbelief, and as their mouths agape, they exchanged bewildered glances. Whispers fluttered like autumn leaves, filled with confusion.“What could have possibly driven him to such a humble act? Did he believe this display of subservience would save his son? He must be joking. ”the other responded.“Can't you even see the person he's kneeling beside? Does he look like someone who can help himself, not to mention helping someone else?”The other couldn't help but start laughing.“You can say that again, he's kneeling beside a commoner; the family is just useless; everything about them is useless. No wonder, Wesley wa
Kane, at that moment almost bit his lip. He couldn't believe what Marcus just said. How can he repeat what he just said again?Disgust flashed across Kane's face as he regarded Marcus.He recoiled inwardly, repulsed by the sight of himself kneeling before Marcus, And the fool Still wanting to take him for a ride after what he just said, he's going to repeat them again. His eyes tighten in anger. If not for Wesley, he would never have debased himself in such a manner, and now the bastard is taking him for a ride, but he can't disobey because of Wesley. He swiftly adjusted his expression and masked his contempt. He would have dealt with Marcus already if not for what he was after, crazy bastard.Despite his inner turmoil, Kane doesn't have any other choice but to repeat his apologies again. His voice chokes with emotion. Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. Threatening to spill over as he was about to apologize to Marcus once more for forgiveness. He's willing to offer anything an
