    Chapter 351


    "Firstly, Xander Lannings is just an employee in the tax bureau.I agree it might be possible that he


    could tell that there was something wrong with Starstream Group''s tax return submission.But how did


    he manage to find out the deputymissioner''s personal ount?"


    "Secondly, Helen Zalenski imed that my client made her transfer funds to Henry Lane through the


    ount.The evidence presented showed a movement in the bnce of 700,000 in one of my client''s


    bank ounts.Yet, the bank was unable to provide video evidence of the opening of the bank ount.I


    do not think it is a more coincidence that the camera suddenly stopped working."


    "Thirdly, Helen Zalenski said that my client was the one who instructed her to submit the tax return


    ordingly. But from what I know, the secretary is the one who assists with Starstream Group''s


    electronic stamp, and signatures documented on paper do not suffice as evidence. After all, talented


    people abound in this vast universe. Copying another person''s handwriting is not umon."


    "To sum up, I have reasons to plead not guilty on behalf of my client!"


    The three doubts that Quinn clearly stated hit the nail on the head and silenced the entire court.


    Bob could not help muttering in Sam''s ears, "Seriously, your wife doesn''t seem so impressive but the


    moment she opens her mouth… bam! It''s like getting hit by a train!"


    Sam ignored Bob''sments, but his eyes remained fixed on Quinn, as if mesmerized.


    Back in court, Xander responded in a hurry, "I know about the deputymissioner''s ount status


    because he once asked for my help to deposit money into his ount. Because I had my suspicions, I


    checked his bnce and found a huge sum of money in his ount."


    Quinn chuckled.


    It wasced with thinly-veiled cynicism.


    She said, "If Henry really did take a bribe of a few hundreds of thousands, him giving you his ount


    details and asking for your help to deposit money is akin to saying to you: ‘Quick, check out my


    ount, I''ve been taking bribes, call the police and catch me!''"


    Everyone seated in courtughed out loud at Quinn''s words.


    "Order!" Judge Faden reprimanded.


    Everyone quietened down.


    "It is unfathomable for someone able to rise to a position as high and as powerful as the chief of a


    bureau to make such a low-level mistake," Quinn surmised.


    "That was because I was too upied with work and grabbed the wrong bank card in my hastiness,


    which is why Xander found out," Henry immediately jumped in to exin.


    ‘In all my years of experience as awyer, having gone through so many trials, this is my first time


    seeing the defendant exining things for the intiff. People who are clueless might think the two of


    them are in cahoots."


    Quinn seemed to say it sarcastically but was in fact alluding to something.


    "Objection!"


    Victor stood up from his seat, "Your Honor, I object to the defense attorney falsifying facts and using


    invalid assumptions to mislead the witness."


    “Objection sustained. Defense Attorney, please watch yournguage."N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "Yes, Judge." Quinn was naturally respectful to Judge Faden. "Your Honor, may I ask my client a few


    questions?"


    “Approved.”


    Quinn turned to look at Cordy.


    Cordy looked calm andposed right from the start, which made her look more like the intiff than


    the defendant.


    "Cordy Sachs, Xander Lannings has used you of bribery. Do you plead guilty?"


    "I do not," Cordy said firmly.


    ‘But we have witnesses and evidence to prove that you transferred funds from your personal ount to


    other people''s ount and then into the ount specified by Henry Lane. You then made the finance


    department falsify the tax return submission to evade over 7 million worth of taxes. You personally


    signed off all the tax reports. What evidence do you have to prove that you are not guilty?"


    "The personal ount in the evidence is not mine. 1 did not open that ount," Cordy said directly.


    "How do you prove that you are not the one who opened it? Based on what I know, ording to our


    country''s bank ount management policies, the ount owner must be present for such


    transactions. The bank also does not have surveince camera footage to prove that you were not


    there that day."


    “But I can provide evidence to prove that I did not go to the bank that day."


    Signs of amotion began arising in the court.
