Chapter 563 As Olivia watched Mr. Smith take his place in the witnessing stand, she pinched herself hard to force herself to calm down quickly.
Very quickly, Pitt started his questioning. âMr. Smith, this is the ring you bought as an engagement ring, is that right?â
âYes.â
âWhen did you buy it, and where did you get it from?â
âI bought it three years ago on the 3rd of April at The One. I got designer Ms. Phoebe James to custom design it for me.â
âAre you sure about that?â
âIâm very sure. It was pouring heavily that day, and I was soaked. Ms. James got me a brand-new towel and gave me a cup of ginger tea. It was so spicy that I nearly threw the tea out, but Ms. James told me that it was the exact kind of tea she often drank to not catch a cold, so I downed it.â
âWhen did you receive the ring?â
âThe 15th of March, but Ms. James had already given me the draft of the ringâs design on the 6th of March, and the actual ring was exactly like the draft.â
Pitt changed the picture and asked, âIs this ring familiar to you?â
Smith looked at it and nodded. âIt looks familiar. Itâs my...â
However, before he could finish his sentence, he stopped. âNo, it may look similar, but itâs definitely not my ring. That is not the ring I proposed with.â
âAre you sure?â
âYes.â
âI have no further questions, Your Honor.â
After Pitt sat down, the lawyer representing TR started his questioning, but after a series of questions, TR had become the side with less favor.
TR insisted that the initial draft was leaked, and that had caused the entire fiasco, so the jury asked for the court to be adjourned.
They would resume the following week for a second hearing.
The entire scene unfolded like a dream that Olivia had yet to wake up from, so she merely sat in her seat in a daze.
It was not until Smith came over to apologize to her that she snapped back to her senses and shot up to her feet.
âMr. Smith.â
âMs. James, Iâm so sorry about the previous time. The failure of my marriage is entirely my problem, and I should not have taken it out on you.â
Olivia shook her head. âPlease donât say that. You being present to testify means a lot to me. Thank you so much.â
âIâll... get going then.â
âOkay.â
âPheebs!â
Jennie appeared out of nowhere and hugged her from behind. âWe won! We won against TR Thatâs unbelievable!â
âI know, right...â
Olivia suddenly felt like she wanted to cry. She burst out into tears. âIt was all the result of Pittâs hard work!â
Pitt smiled faintly. âMs. James, this is just the beginning. Itâll only be worth celebrating after the results are official. Letâs go.â
âOkay.â
The trio walked out of court only to meet with the lawyer troop representing TR.
The leader of the troop glared coldly at Pitt and said, âHah, I didnât think youâd actually take up this case, Pitt.â
âDonât you know I like to watch you lose, Cousie?â
âItâs not over yet, Pitt! Wait and see!â
âOkay, Cousie, Iâll wait.â
Olivia looked at the both of them and asked, âHeâs your cousin?â
âYes, my cousin, and also my junior in law school who has lost to me ever since we were kids.â
Olivia was stunned. This was surprising.
However, at the moment, she could only think about how powerful Mr. M was!
He would have probably already known about this relationship when he found Pitt. If not, why would he have specifically chosen Pitt for this?
She was deep in thought when someone yanked her on her arm. âLetâs talk, Ms. James.â
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Oliviaâs eyes darkened. She turned around to swat his hands away and barked coldly. âWe have nothing to talk about, Mr. Freeman. If you have time to talk to me, why not ask your lawyers to stop so they wonât be so embarrassed when they finally lose?â
John was not agitated. His deep eyes looked faintly at her. âMs. James, arenât you curious about your brotherâs whereabouts?â
