The Versatile Billionaire

Chapter 5: Coming to a conclusion

" My Lord, We are here today to stand Against the Accused, Mr Marcus Renold who has being charged for the Death of his father, Sir Fedrick Renold, The Former Lord Chancellor of Great Britain "

" I Counsel Antonio perez declares that the Defendant over here is guilty of killing his own father " Mr Antonio perez was the first to speak, Standing before the Chief Justice, He spoke in an humble manner.

But you could feel his sheer will of malice against Marcus Renold!

" Objection my Lord, Counsel Antonio perez has no evidence to prove himself of this this accusations laid against the Defendant, My Client " Levi Garrison voiced out from where he was standing.

" Objection overruled!! Counsel Levi Garrison, You may have your seat now " The Chief Justice stated, Staring deep down at Levi Garrison when Levi without hesitation quietly sat down on his seat.

" Counsel Antonio, I understand the situation on ground but what exactly are your evidence against the Defendant over here, There hasn't being a concrete evidence or is there one " The Chief Justice voiced out.

" Ah yes My Lord, I am glad to say we have some evidence and besides I would like to call for a cross examination....I have a witness " Mr Antonio said, Giving out his sinister look when the Chief Justice gave a go ahead.

Confusion was written on everyone's face when A Young Woman walked into the scene!

" I would love to ask the defendant some questions, If I may...My Lord, Mr Marcus Renold, Do you know this woman over here? " Mr Antonio asked, Marcus looks up to face the woman when he widened his eyes in shock.

" Yes I know her, She was one of the few maids my father trusted to serve his tea, Although I have forgotten her name already " Marcus Renold answered, You see the confusion written all over his face.

" Very good...My Lord, This Woman's name is Beatrice and as confirmed by the Defendant himself, She is The Chief Maid in charge of serving the Former Lord Chancellor, His beautiful tea, We will begin from here " Mr Antonio said.

" Young Woman is that true? Do you have any thing to confess before the Supreme Court? " The Chief Justice asked, The Young Woman is seen shivering tried all her best to avoid eye contacts with Marcus.

" Y...Yes my Lord, I was present that night Mr Fedrick Renold died " The Young woman Recognized as Beatrice answered, She was sweating while trying to keep her calm composure when The Chief Justice gave a go ahead nod.

" Thank you my lord...I am honored over here, And over to you Mrs Beatrice, You said you were present that night The Lord Chancellor got killed right? Did you catch a glimpse of what happened? " Mr Antonio asked.

Everytime Levi wanted to talk...He was always silenced!

" Yes Counsel Antonio, On that night Mr Fedrick was relaxing while reading a newspaper, I was bringing him his favorite coffe to drink when I slightly spilled coffee on my clothes, I rushed to clean it up when I asked the young Master of that time to give his father the coffee " Beatrice answered.

" Oh this is interesting and what happened next after Me Marcus was asked to give his father the coffee? " Mr Antonio asked, You could see the evil grin plastered on his lips like he already won.

" I went to clean the coffee stain on my maiden outfit then but I got curious, I was about to close the door when I turned to see the young Master... Putting something into His Father's drink, I didn't understand what it was then " Beatrice answered.

" So you are clearly saying that you saw him put a substance into the coffee right? And if I recall the source of Sir Fedrick's death, He was killed with Poison, Am I right? " Mr Antonio asked and Beatrice nodded.

" Yes Counsel...I was so sad to realize Mr Fedrick was already dead, I couldn't forgive myself for being so stupid back then " Beatrice said when she started shedding tears out loud, Me Antonio immediately stood.

Facing the Chief Justice when he bowed his head and walked back to his seat!

" The Counsel of the Defendant, How do you react to the Cross Examination testimony given Against your client over here? " Barrister Mike asked while facing Levi Garrison who immediately stood up.

" I am here to Object that this cross examination is simply but a blatant lie against my client, Would the Supreme Court believe anything said without a single evidence to back It up? " Levi asked.

" Hmmmmm I understand that Counsel Levi, But what evidence do you have to prove that your Client, The Defendant, Mr Marcus Renold is innocent of the accusations laid against him? " The Chief Justice asked.

Mr Oscar Stenrozzo staring down into the eyes of Levi Garrison!

" To be frankly speaking, I currently have no evidence to support my client over here But it's unjust to send a twelve years old boy to Jail for ten years simply because of the accusations laid against him "

" For Six Years since I took on this case, There has been no series of Investigations done to vindicate my client over here, Mr Marcus Renold from the heavy accusations laid against and then "

" He was sent to prison for good ten years, And besides when it comes to evidence, I have an alibi that my client wasn't the one who gave the coffee to his father that night " Mr Levi Garrison stated.

There was confusion within the Supreme Court after Levi Garrison just blurted that out, Even the Judge was suprised to hear that, He slowly faced Levi Garrison who was standing before him as a Counsel.

" Counsel Levi, You claim to have an Alibi right? Care to show it to the Supreme Court? " The Chief Justice, Mr Oscar Stenrozzo asked, Mr Levi Garrison visibly smirked when he took out a disk from his file.

He placed the disk into his laptop system when he connected it with the flat screen TV placed above them, It was the CCtv camera of the incident ten years ago, Everyone quietly watched to see what happened.

The Surveillance camera demonstrated Marcus who was twelve years old at that time playing with his little sisters, They were twins, Beatrice spilled coffee on her dress when she called for Marcus.

Giving Marcus the coffee to give to his father, Marcus took the coffee when a voice called Marcus back, Collecting the coffee from the hands of Marcus, The Mysterious Figure took the coffee with him.

Immediately the Mysterious Figure dressed in black suit enters into the chambers of Sir Fedrick Renold, Mr Levi Garrison paused the video and he quickly faced the Chief Justice with a broadened smile on his face.

" My Lord, Like you just watched this tape....It shows that My Client wasn't the one who Poisoned his own father " Mr Levi Garrison said when everywhere immediately became silent, Silent as a graveyard.

" Hmmmm I see....This Tape is the Surveillance details of what happened that night of the murder right? Where did you get it from...Counsel Levi? " The Chief Justice asked, Levi Gnashes his teeths Ferociously.

" My Lord, Does it matters where it came from? " Mr Levi asked.

" Does it matters? You are asking the Chief Justice of England such a question? Counsel Levi, Failure to give the source would prove that this is nothing but a forged evidence to cover up for your client " The Chief Justice said.

" But....But....But my Lord " Mr Levi stammered!

He couldn't reveal where he got it from since it will also put him in danger, He bribed one of the few responsible for the Surveillances that night, He can't afford to say it out before the Supreme Court!

" Counsel Levi, The Chief Justice is right, If you can't give the source of where this evidence was gotten from then it will be deemed void, Faking evidence for your client also puts you in danger, You know " Mrs Cindy Velequez spoke out.

She was about provoking Mr Levi Garrison and Marcus knew that already, He watched the entire situation while being handcuffed, Only if he had a way....They didn't even give him a chance to speak for himself.

" Mehn if only there was a chance to set myself free, I won't hesitate to use it " Marcus said.

He is already drowning in despair after realizing that the case is coming to its final conclusion, With everything standing against him, He understood that the Chief of Justice was against him from the beginning.

[ Very well then, Process Confirmed ]
