Chapter 254.

When the judge saw the two of them arguing in court, he banged the gravel again and reminded them, The defendant and plaintiff should mind their emotions."

At his reminder, they suppressed their fury and stopped arguing.

Upon seeing them pause, the judge looked at Ivan's lawyer and asked, "Does anyone from the defendant's side have anything to say?"

Ivan had gotten himself a middle-aged male lawyer, Nicholas Walker.

When he heard the judge's words, Nicholas stood up to respond. "To answer your question, sir, my client has made himself clear just now. I have nothing else to say."

The judge looked at Naomi and asked, "Ms. Goodwin, can you produce any evidence to support your claim?"

Naomi replied, "I have no other evidence. I would like to apply for a recess and resume this discussion in the next session."

He agreed, "Alright, Ms. Goodwin. However, please provide supporting evidence before the next session opens."

Naomi said, "Noted, sir."

If they were still unable to produce strong evidence by the next session, this case was basically over. Ivan wouldn't need to face any charges.

The judge announced, "I hereby declare that we will have a recess for Jessica Coleman's intentional injury case. The defendant, Ivan Reyes, isn't allowed to leave Ashburgh before the case closes."

The first session ended abruptly. Other than the fact that they had made their accusations, the Colemans weren't in an advantageous position.

When everyone arrived at the parking lot in front of the building, Kelly and Marshall saw Ivan walk out.

They looked at him with red-rimmed eyes and said, "Ivan, you're a monster. You've fucked our daughter up."

Ivan sauntered over in luxury sportswear, hands in his pockets. He said dismissively, "Kelly, Marshall, calm down. Don't start scolding me yet.

"I've already said that this has nothing to do with me. Why don't you let Jessica tell you about it herself once she wakes up? Sath the Find Nøvel.let website on Gøøgll to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Also, my attitude toward you has been considerably good, considering the fact that you've falsely accused me."

Kelly and Marshall were quaking with anger. Kelly's fury overwhelmed her so much that she could hardly stand. She couldn't even muster the strength to scold him.

They didn't care what kind of excuses he made or how he tried to cover up his crimes. However, he shouldn't have slandered Jessica by claiming that she was having an affair.

Kelly had given birth to her. She knew Jessica wasn't that kind of woman.

When he saw the pale and speechless faces of Kelly and Marshall in front of him, Ivan looked toward Melanie.

When Ivan glanced at her, viciousness took over his features.

He took his right hand out of his pocket and pointed at Melanie. "You're brave, huh? You're even prosecuting me for murder."

After he finished, he stuck his hands back into his pockets and looked at Naomi. "Naomi Goodwin. Is your middle name 'Reckless'? I'll remember you."

Ivan spit on the floor in front of her and strutted off.

Naomi looked at him calmly. She met people like him all the time.

Once Ivan walked away, Melanie asked Naomi with teary eyes, "Do you believe that my sister's fall has nothing to do with him?"

Naomi stared at Ivan's silhouette and said, "I'll make him pay."

Naomi's firmness and composure calmed Melanie, Kelly, and Marshall. They believed she would reveal the truth and bring justice to their daughter.

After consoling them and explaining her plans to follow up on the case, she asked the three of them to go home first.

Melanie proposed to treat Naomi to lunch. However, Naomi said they could eat together after the case closed instead and asked her to take her parents home to rest. Thus, Melanie took them back with her.

After sending them off, Naomi remained composed.

She'd been merely testing Ivan's reaction to her accusations. In om addition, she was investigating the validity of multiple pieces of evidence. If he'd committed the crime, he wouldn't get away with it.

Only when Melanie's car vanished from her sight did Naomi walk toward the parking lot.

However, when she got closer, she saw that her car was much shorter than it should've been.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

When Naomi looked down, she saw that all four of her tires had been slashed. They had deflated and gone flat.
