How Will You Thank Me?

Shivam nodded. "Not many people can compare to her. This is good news."

"However, Fourth Sister also said that she'll definitely be fair." Isha looked a little tense.

Shivam understood. "Of course. Hina definitely didn't appear to defend my mother's innocence. She must want to send the real murderer to prison. Therefore, she'll target the real murderer, not specifically Shina or my mother."

Isha nodded. "That's what I'm worried about. If something goes wrong with the evidence, the case will be bad for Mom..."

At that time, the stronger Hina was, the worse it would be for Kareena.

"Do you think Mom did that kind of thing?"

"Definitely not. As I got to know her, I knew she certainly isn't the type of person to do something like that. I believe in her."

"Since you believe in her, there's no need to worry about the entire case being disadvantageous to her. When the time comes, Hina will do her best to target Shina. If Shina is guilty and convicted, Mom will naturally be fine."

Isha nodded. "That's true. I'm just afraid there's something else going on."

"Even if someone wants to tamper with the evidence, they have to go through me first and then Gaurav. Who would dare to be so bold as to risk universal condemnation and tamper with evidence?"

With Shivam's words, Isha felt much more relaxed.

Shivam reached out and stroked her hair. "Thank you for your help."

"Fourth Sister was going to come anyway. I didn't exactly help."

"If not for you, she'd focus on giving Shina as harsh of a sentence as possible instead of my mom's acquittal defense."

"That makes sense! In that case, how are you going to thank me?" Isha smiled brightly.

"How about meat?" The man's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was rich and charming.

.......

Shina had found Karan to be her defense lawyer, and Tinki had already prepared several drafts to be published online.

She wanted to build momentum early and turn public opinion around as soon as possible to pave the way for future victories.

Now, she could not rely on the Pratap family anymore. Tinki had to work hard with her mother.

Fortunately, Manish had always been very helpful and provided a lot of resources for Tinki.

This case that everyone was paying attention to also caused a lot of discussions.

[I really didn't expect Shina to be able to invite Karan. I've checked. Karan is the most awesome lawyer in this area. He's almost one of the top big shots in the country. Shina is really awesome.]

[As expected of a woman who's slept with countless major directors and investors. She could still hire a lawyer like that at a time like this.]

[There's nothing going on from Pratap Group's side. But I don't think they can hire a good lawyer, right?]

[The industry insiders say that in this situation, only by inviting Fakhar over can Kareena win. Do you know who Fakhar is? I'm not bragging, but he's an existence even more powerful than Karan. He'll definitely make Karan kneel down!]

[Actually, they can hire me as well. Whether I win or lose, I can become famous as a lawyer. Hahaha.]

[But I heard that Fakhar hasn't taken on a case at all. Forget it, Kareena might suffer.]

[Stop talking nonsense. I know someone at Pratap Group. They've already decided on a lawyer. She's called Hina.]

[Who's Hina? What's her background?]

[There's no result from Google? Is Kareena giving up? Or is she the murderer?]

Although Hina had made a name for herself in the United States and had won many lawsuits in the country, she had only been in the country for a short period of time and was not famous. Therefore, even Google did not record her information.

This time, when everyone heard her name, they expressed that they did not know her at all.

For a moment, the rumors about the case became very strange.

Some people even guessed that Kareena was acting out of guilt. Or rather, everyone in the industry knew what was going on, so they refused to defend Kareena as they were afraid that it would ruin their reputations.

The matter was so noisy that even Karan's team was confused. "Is Pratap Group looking down on us? They found an unknown lawyer to fight us?"

"I think Shivam is just so-so. If he looks down on us, it's time to teach him a lesson!"

Under Karan's lead, these lawyers were outstanding and almost invincible. They were all elites in the industry, so they didn't even take Shivam seriously.

Karan was over 60 years old. His hair was combed meticulously and white. He said, "If you underestimate the enemy, you'll pay the price. It's the same for Shivam and us. So, everyone, do your best."

Soon, the case would begin.

Although Karan's team did their best, they were no longer as cautious as before, especially when they heard that Hina was only in her 20s and had just returned from America.

On the day of the trial, there were still some lawyers muttering softly, "In her 20s? We should check her legal credentials first."

"Hahahaha, she might look very cute."

"I wonder if she speaks the language of S Country? Do we need to get her an interpreter?"

Karan coughed, and everyone stopped talking.

Isha and Shivam appeared at the door of the trial venue in simple black clothes.

Rudrw followed them.

When Isha saw Hina, Isha quickly waved at her. "Fourth Sister!"

Hina was wearing high heels, and her short hair was combed back, revealing her exquisite and full forehead. She was dressed in a professional suit that made her look lean and elegant.

However, she was too young.

Rudra's eyes darkened. "Sister Ishi, is this the famous elite female lawyer you mentioned? She's not even as old as me, right? It's not that I don't trust her, but it's difficult for anyone to associate such a young woman with a high-level elite lawyer, right? If you don't believe me, look at the lawyers on Karan's team. All of them are in their 40s. The ones with the most hair still have less than half of mine."

Hina reached out. "Hello, I'm Hina. I'm indeed not as old as you, but you should still call me Fourth Sister."

"Why?" Rudra blurted out.

"Because I'm your sister-in-law's fourth sister."

Rudra : "..."

Rudra said, "You're right. I lost, Lawyer Hina!"

He still refused to call her Fourth Sister.

"You're being kind." Hina nodded. "Shivam, Isha, I've read all the files and evidence. There's no problem."

"Nonsense!" Rudra didn't believe her.

"Rudra!" Shivam stopped Rudra.

Hina said nothing. Clutching the files, she called her assistant and quickly entered the venue.

Isha and Shivam followed her in.

When Hina entered, some lawyers felt that she looked familiar, but they could not remember where they had seen such a young female lawyer.

As the case went to trial, everyone's thoughts were focused on it. No one pursued the issue.

In the courtroom, lawyers from both sides exchanged heated words.

Karan's team was a little arrogant at first as they had the upper hand. As time passed, they realized that this young female lawyer could actually receive their attacks easily and even launch strong counterattacks.

This surprised Karan's team, and they braced themselves.

They soon discovered that the young female lawyer was as competent as they were. She was more insightful about the case, had a clear mind, and her logical thinking was flawless and convincing.

Rudra sat down. At first, his lips were curled, but soon, he sat up straight. His mouth slowly formed an O shape, and his gaze was locked on Hina.

The trial went on for a full four hours that day. Because the two sides were evenly matched, the court adjourned that day and the trial would resume tomorrow.

When Karan's team came out, their attitude toward Hina changed. Out of respect for their opponent, they took the initiative to greet her.

"Lawyer Hina, you're really talented. We're really impressed," Karan said. "I just don't know why you rarely accepted cases before if you have such talent."

Hina smiled. "No. I've always been busy. I've taken on quite a few cases."

"Oh, really?" Karan searched his memory but still did not find her familiar.

"Yes."

"Lawyer Hina, this is my card. Perhaps in the future, you can come to my law firm. You're welcome anytime," Karan said solemnly. He valued this lawyer who was so talented at such a young age, but he also knew that it was difficult to get such a lawyer.

Hina nodded. "Thank you. Lawyer Karan, this is my card."

Lawyer Karan took it and looked at it. The name on it surprised him. "Y-You're Hadiya?"

Hadiya was the Arabic word for a pointer in the direction of justice. It was what elites of this profession were called.

The name Hadiya was famous in the United States. She was known by her peers as the dagger of S Country.

Karan had long heard of Hadiya and knew that she was young. However, Hina was too young for him to connect the two.

"Yes." Hina inclined her head.

Karan looked a little embarrassed and disappointed. This Hadiya was even more famous than him. He had really underestimated the young people nowadays.

He knew that this trial would be really difficult.

Karan quickly led his team away.

Isha walked up to Hina and smiled. "Fourth Sister, I said I would treat you to a meal. Do you have the time?"

"Then get your purse ready. I'll come when I'm triumphant." Hina smiled.

"Alright. You have to feast when the time comes. Karan's team is not so easy to deal with."

"I still have to sort out the case. I'll go first."

Rudra watched her leave.

Isha smiled and said, "How is it? My fourth sister's ability is amazing, right? You've seen it for yourself just now. Many lawyers in the United States are afraid of fighting her. They're all terrified of her."

"It's alright. She's not particularly powerful," Rudra said.

"You call that just alright? How many lawyers do you think can withstand Karan's team?"

Rudra touched the tip of his nose. "But she didn't defeat Karan's team in one go."

Isha was so angry that she laughed. "Do you think a lawsuit is as simple as treating someone to a meal? Forget it. Hubby, let's go. I won't stoop to your brother's level."

Shivam followed Isha. Rudra shouted, "You're not putting our brotherhood first!"

But his footsteps continued to follow them.

In the time that followed, despite Hina's outstanding abilities, this kind of case was difficult in itself. She spent countless hours and energy summarizing the case, and after countless trials, she finally reached the final deciding stage.

During this period, Isha didn't have much work to do. Most of the time, she was helping Hina organize documents and paying attention to the development of the situation.

There were also many people who were still paying attention to the entire case. Other than Shina and Kareena's family, there were still many people in society waiting for the final outcome.

......

It was time for the last trial.

On this day, many people came to spectate.

Therefore, Isha put on sunglasses and a mask. She quietly sat in a corner.

This time, Hina performed extremely well. Even though Karan's team came prepared and did not underestimate the enemy anymore, in the end, even some amateurs could tell that Hina had the upper hand.

The evidence and the law showed who was the real killer and who was the innocent party.

The judge called for a 15-minute break before announcing the final verdict.

Isha and Shivam interlocked their fingers. Isha knew that she would definitely win this time. However, she didn't dare to be too optimistic until the last second.

Rudra couldn't sit still and ran out to buy a drink.

When he came back, there were a few bottles in his arms. He gave one each to Shivam and Isha. He also had another bottle in his hand. He stretched it forward and said, "Lawyer Hina, this is for you. I didn't buy it especially for you. I just happened to buy an extra bottle."

Hina did not take it. "Thank you, but in principle, we can't accept anything from the families of the people involved while the case is progressing. So I have to reject it."

Rudra : "..."

He took it back casually. "You make it sound like I bought it especially for you. If it wasn't a buy-one-get-one-free deal, who would bother?"

Hina merely smiled and said nothing.

It was hard to tell if Isha was smiling, but her eyes that were exposed, curved slightly. When Hina looked over, Isha quickly put on her sunglasses to show that she wasn't watching the show.

With Rudra here, 15 minutes passed quickly.

The judge resumed his place at the head of the table.

Everyone fell silent.

The judge took out the dossier and said, "According to all the evidence and the statements of both parties, the evidence is conclusive. Back then, for the sake of her own selfish desires, Shina hypnotized Kareena through hypnosis and guided her to kill Tanu, her husband, and the child in Tanu's stomach by crashing into them with a car. Now, the court sentences Shina to life imprisonment while Kareena is to be acquitted!"

When he heard this news, Rudra stood up and raised his drink happily.

Isha held Shivam's hand. Even though her face was covered, one could still see her relaxed smile.
