Chapter 131 My lawyers sent the legal notice to Leo, although his assistant phoneâstalked me with messages and calls. They wanted to talk to me out of the custody battle and resolve the issues through dialogues. But I was literally sick and tired of Leoâs delaying tactics.
He was never going to change; it was pointless to expect anything good for him. So, I met him directly in court as my lawyer advised.
Leo was restless in his seat, looking at me for attention. Mr. Darcy, his representative was a solemn looking middleâaged man, his forehead was creased as he got up.
âThis is a private family matter and after the two decades of my practice, I am sure that these types of proceedings end in ugly confrontations, Your honor.
My client, Mr. Leo has tried to contact Miss Laura for out of the court settlement, but she didnât respond to his calls. So, I am offering her on the behalf of my client to come in the chambers for a smooth coâparenting schedule.â
My lawyer, Mr. Harold, looked at me for my opinion, I nodded resolutely.
âI would like to stick to my decision. There is no going back now.â
Mr. Darcy appeared helpless for a moment, but he disciplined his emotions in a split second and began.
âMiss Laura has filed for full custody of the child, overlooking my clientâs right.
Itâs my request to the honorable court to grant him rightful access to his son, Zoe is a child; his future depends on both of his parentsâ love.
Mr. Darcy made an excellent speech on a fatherâs role in a sonâs life, he was able to ignite fatherly feelings in a male judgeâs heart.
Then it was Me. Haroldâs turn, he cleared his throat and spoke seriously.
âUndoubtedly, both parents are essential for a kidâs betterment, but this case is special.
Obviously, there is a reason that Miss Laura has disregarded Mr. Leoâs offer and came to 16:41 The Black Swanâs Final Revenge Pirouette The 99th Game Was Mine All Along 58.0%
Chapter 131 the court.â
He then handed in the proof of Leoâs prolonged negligence.
âMr. Leo wasnât interested in this child and asked his mistress to abort it. Zoe was stolen from Miss Laura when she was on the brink of death.
My client spent five years in agony, missing her lost baby. Mr. Leo didnât even bother to look for her.â
Mr. Harold showed Leoâs criminal record to the court, advocating for the case.
âThere is valid evidence for Mr. Leoâs indulgence in criminal activities, he is currently on bail. That case is still in the courts.
A man with such a racketeer record canât be an exemplary figure for a child, Your honor!â
Mr. Darcy tactfully countered Mr. Haroldâs point, he said, âHaving some police complaints canât overshadow the fact that my client is a responsible father.
He raised Zoe well and helped him to become a hockey player at such a young age.â
He then put forward thousands of reasons including Zoeâs health and his education in the best institution. Leo had filled all the materialistic duties, important for the court of law.
I felt a cold pit in my stomach when Mr. Darcy spoke professionally.
âZoe is living the best life in Mr. Leoâs home, enjoying all the luxuries.
The only thing that he needs is the emotional support from his mother. Her love is the only thing he lacks...â
11 My lawyer smiled at his opponentâs slyness, standing up with courage, his focus was Leoâs recent issue now.
âCurrently, Zoe is having therapy sessions to process the unfortunate shock of abduction. I would like to call his doctor as my witness for this case.â

Chapter 131 The judge allowed Zoeâs psychiatrist, Dr. Jason, to come to the witness stand. Mr. Harold questioned him, showing him a file.
âIs this the same report that you wrote, Dr. Jason?â
He read the papers and said, âYes, I wrote this report after Zoeâs session yesterday.â
Mr. Harold presented this report to the judge and spoke in a solemn tone.
âAccording to Dr. Jasonâs observation, Zoe is a sensitive child, his personality is manipulated by loneliness and a sense of insecurity.
His innocent mind is way more damaged by the tense family environment. It wonât be an exaggeration to say that thereâs no family in White Mansion!â
My lawyer strengthened our case with Leoâs affair and accused him of ignoring his son for Melody, they both failed to care for him. He also used the social media circus and Leoâs keen interest in making my life hell.
Then it was Mr. Darcyâs turn to ask questions. He took calculated steps to the witness s d and asked.
âDuring Zoeâs medical checkup, did you find any sign of physical abuse?â
Dr. Jason shook his head, âNo!â
Mr. Darcy was visibly relaxed by his response; he voiced his next query with a smile.
âDid Zoe tell you about any abuse from his father?
As you are his psychiatrist, do you think Zoe loves his father or not?â
Ishifted in my chair as Zoe was quite attached to Leo, this reality struck me that day when I \took him to the hospital. He was worried sick about his dadâs injuries and even cried for his health.
Dr. Jason explained briefly that Zoe was an affectionate child, he missed his dad a lot and hoped that Leo would pay more attention to him in the future.

Chapter 131 Apparently, the judge was satisfied with both arguments, so he adjourned the court with the next hearingâs date. Mr. Darcy personally came to meet me in the hallway, âMiss Laura, I donât know what your lawyer promised you but take my advice and answer Mr. Leoâs call.
He has a better offer for you!â
