Chapter 132 Henry was also present at the hearing, so he instantly stepped forward to rescue me.
âThank you so much for your kindness, Mr. Darcy. But we are here for justice, not for Leoâs pity.â
We stayed in contact with our lawyers and prepared for the second hearing, hoping for the best. However, Bright wasnât in favor of pursuing our case further, he suggested.
âI have investigated lawyer Darcyâs history. He is a cunning man with a hundred percent success rate.
He is renowned for his heartless approach and horrid accusations. Itâs not good to risk your good name, Laura.â
But I trusted the supremacy of law, the constitution would definitely help a heartbroken mother to be with her lost son. Eventually, Bright had to surrender before my choice as Henry grew angry, he glared at him.
Henry turned to Bright, his jaw clenched.
âWeâll do whatever Laura wants, Bright. Thatâs what a fiancé doesâsupports her, not undermines her.â
Brightâs eyes darkened, his usually calm demeanor cracking. âIâm not undermining her, Henry. Iâm trying to protect her from walking into a trap!â
âOh really?â Henry scoffed, crossing his arms. âBecause it sounds like youâre just scared of Leoâs lawyer.â
âI am telling you, Laura. Bright isnât a good choice for you. You still have time to reconsider your decision.â
As this warning was a norm in my life, I rolled my eyes and called Mr. Harold for the latest updates. He sounded nervous on the other side.
âMiss Laura, please donât use social media or respond to Mr. Leoâs call. His lawyer is a The Black Swanâs Book Fonte: The 99cı Game Was Mine All Along 58.546 Chapter 132 clever fox, he can use it against you in court.â
I requested him to prepare well for the case, swearing not to use social media. He assured.
me.
âMostly in such cases, the court sides with the mother and awards custody to her, Miss Laura. Please donât worry!â
This âdonât worryâ accompanied me in the following days as we attended the trials. I was simply flabbergasted by Mr. Darcyâs mastery.
He skillfully confronted the prosecutionâs allegations, defending his client by using my sudden long disappearance.
âWould you like to explain why you faked your own death, Miss Laura?â
Sitting in the witness stand, I found myself at a loss for words, my tongue felt heavy in my mouth. Mr. Harold had already elaborated on my hardships before, but this specific query pinched my aching nerve.
âI was tortured to death, the fear and my disturbed mental state forced me to take solace in hiding. It was...â
My detailed response didnât appease the court, and Mr. Darcy gave it a new shape.
âSo, you mean to say that you donât trust the law, this system failed to protect you and your interests?
Then how can you think that court will do justice for you now? Why did you come here?â
âObjection, your honor!â
Mr. Harold stood up, âMr. Darcy is twisting my clientâs words!â
âObjection sustained!â
The judge agreed with the objection and warned him, âBe professional with your approach, Mr. Darcy!â
