STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 152 - The Witness
The bartender came out and walked towards the podium. It was time for him to finally tell the world everything that had been happening in their absence. It was going to be a great exposition and he couldn't help but feel like a genius. These people were never going to accept the fact that there might have been a lot of miscommunication in the way things were going. "I am here your honor." He replied with a small smile, hoping that she listened to him. "Okay, what is your name? Take the Bible and swear an oath." She ordered him and he replied. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity because I would not have known what to do with it." He responded. Everyone's eyes fell on him as soon as he stood on the podium, and he knew that it was time for him to become more than expected. He had to find a way to get everything done at once, there was no way that people would not be able to change the narrative if he didn't speak up. "I swear by the court of laws that I will tell the truth an

Sebastian was happy when he saw the evidence and the surprise shining in everyone's eyes. He had known, due to the experience he had gathered over the years, that most girls ran away from their houses just to meet up with strangers who ended up either killing them or hurting them. He wanted her to be protected. "As much as this acts as good evidence, I believe that you shouldn't have recorded her without her permission. It is a breach of human rights." Judge Lorna said. "I only did this because of my multiple experiences when working with a lot of people over time. I had to get a good form of evidence, what if this was a murder case? I was going to be questioned, so I decided to take the law into my own hands just to protect myself and the bar." He explained. The judge was highly impressed by his swiftness in getting to the bottom of issues. Most times, a lot of people were careless, and that caused a lot of pain. What if he had not taken that bold step?"I appreciate your bravery,

"That isn't what I'm asking but if you are ready to tell the truth, then we can begin but if you are not, I hope you are going to just let things die on their own and let's see what happens right after." He replied. Archie nodded again, but refused to speak because he had been warned by Simon that he shouldn't speak except he was spoken to. That was the only way it wouldn't look like he was being arrogant to the court of law, especially to someone like judge Lorna. The moment she noticed any form of arrogance in any person, she took it upon herself to break it and no one could stop her because she was known for that. "Let the prosecution continue." She gave the order and barrister Kate simply tapped her feet on the ground in anticipation for the verdict. "All right then, I have a few questions for you Mr Archie if you are inclined to respond. I am waiting for you to show me where exactly you were on the 21st. That would help us to know if it was truly you or it was doctored." The b

Archie decided to wait for a bit and pretend as though he did not understand all that was happening. He wanted to become somebody worth reckoning. "Will there be anything that we can do to change the situation?" Barrister Kate was being asked by his mother. Barrister Kate shook her head and glanced at the young man. She thought that the case was pretty decent and could be easily treated but even at the same time, he did not want to really give them much assurance because she knew how these things could work. It could turn out to be bad and also turn out to be good depending on the situation. "This is me hoping that they are daft enough but we can find a solution no matter how they prove to be wise. "Have you given it a deeper thought? I was wondering why we have not been able to see you since all this while. I also think that you guys should stay clear from the Court area so that one of these days whoever the opposing gang is wouldn't be able to do you any harm." "Good. I can mana
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 156 - The Ultimatum
Marshall opened his eyes and saw a strange figure in his room. It was Mr Ambrose who was looking outside the window, with his hands deeply entrenched in his pockets as he hummed slowly, unaware that Marshall had woken up. At Marshall's groan, he turned in surprise and watched Marshall trying to stand. He ran towards him immediately to help him out. "Thank you so much for trying to help me despite how you feel about me." Marshall began slowly and he rolled his eyes. He wasn't going to counter the words with no argument. They already knew that they were enemies but were pretending to be friends. Marshall had pulled out from every group, both of them causing people to notice that they had friction. He wasn't even aware that Marshall had an accident that made him land in the hospital. If not he would have been a bit sorry for him. "You must be happy to see me here, right?" Marshall inquired, going straight to the point. He needed a cup of water to lubricate his throat but would rather
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 157 - Court Ruling (I)
"We are here on behalf of Master Archie and Miss Judy on account of the alleged rape. The proceedings will start in the next five minutes and I hope that all of us can have some rest before it begins. May the best man win." The court clerk announced and the proceedings began. "We already know how the drill is done. You state your reason for being here, and then we proceed." The court clerk told them. It was just to set fear in the hearts of everyone present. Judge Lorna already had what she wanted to do in her mind. She was only waiting for the right time before she popped up and switched on them. If they thought that they could go scot-free in a case where she was the presiding judge, they didn't know what was coming for them. "I hope we all have our facts and our works already here. If we don't, then we have missed it all. I have with me various pieces of evidence presented by both parties trying to prove their innocence. I hope that this is truly what it is and that no one is tr
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 158 - The Final Verdict
Murmurs filled the courtroom but no one was able to say anything against her order. They were going to behave exactly the way she had said they should. "I will be waiting for each of them to appear. I have already invited them to the court and we are going to get to the bottom of this issue today once and for all." She announced happily. She was always joyful whenever she had the opportunity to free the oppressed. It was later she got to know Archie's real identity. He wasn't the usual person that she thought he was. He was Marshall's son so she was not surprised by the way he was bold to prove his points. It was only people who had something to hide that would shy away from prosecution. She hoped for his step siblings sake that they did not have a hand in this because she was going to go hard on them and not even Marshall would tell her to stop. They tried to tarnish the young man's image everywhere. There were lots of posters and caricatures made of him as people thought he was
STREET KING: ASHLEY LOCKWOOD Chapter 159
The gates of the juvenile home creaked open, and Archie stepped inside, he could already tell the meeting wasn't going to end well as he moved down the narrow corridor. The dull thud of footsteps echoed against the concrete floor. He spotted the living room and his step siblings pacing the room.As he entered his footsteps drew their attention, their eyes locked on him but he didn't flinch, already used to it. There was no warmth, no welcome, just the cold resentment that had festered for years. "Archie," Rhyder’s voice broke the silence, more a statement than a greeting. "Here to play the hero again?"Archie stood still for a moment, his jaw clenched. He could taste the bitterness of the conversation to come, already lingering on his tongue. "I'm not here to save anyone," he finally spoke, keeping his voice even. "Just to hear what's going on."Meg scoffed. "You should know by now. Dad washed his hands of us. Threw us all to the wolves except you right?." Her lips curled, but it was
