A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 516


    Chapter 516


    There was a threatening edge in Toby’s words, but the prosecution did not object.


    And with that, Toby asked Wade and Hunter solemnly, ‘”Have you been involved in


    impersonating my client while carrying out illegal activities including market


    maniption and aiding criminal organizations inundering money?”


    “Yes,” both men admitted.


    “Was everything that you have done exactly as our evidence has proven?”


    “Yes.”


    “Was James Stuart your co-conspirator and the mastermind behind all your actions?”


    “Yes.”


    Neither would dare to hide anything now.


    “Thank you,’ Tobias said and turned toward Judge Rackham. “With the evidence that


    my side has provided and the confession of the suspects, I maintain that my client is


    innocent of any charges ced against him on this trial and thus request that he be


    released without charge. I have nothing more to add.”


    “Thank you. Please return to your table, defense counsel.”


    As Tobias returned to his seat, Judge Rackham announced, “The court will be in


    recess for half an hour. The rest of my panel and myself will confer to make a final


    verdict.”


    With a bang of the gavel, Judge Rackham and his panel of fellow judges left, while the


    courtroom erupted raucously.


    At the same time, Cordy’s heart was relieved considerably.


    Even if John had vited thew in the midst of his investigation, those were minor


    crimes and the sentences would not be serious.


    From her perspective, she could ept it as long as it was not a life sentence or


    anything worse.


    “I knew it! Johnny wouldn’tmit a crime… Sh*t, I almost had a heart attack there!


    Still, it’s quite the exciting show he put up for us… I mean, I know my boy’s good, but


    not that good! I really have to reevaluate my opinion of him!”


    Sam finally eximed right then, and he was not stingy with his praise at all.


    That incredible reversal and dramatic uncovering of the truth was simply heartstopping!


    “He is good,” Bob agreed, while adding self-deprecatingly, “My parents would be


    bragging about me all the time if I had a third of his ability.”


    “Now, now, that might not be the case,” Sam joked. “Would the man have so much


    trouble guing him if not for his ability? That’s why people want him so badly,


    y’know? That’s why it’s no good if you’re too outstandingpeople like us who have


    already reached our peak at birth just have to keep calm and carry on. That’s life.”


    “Well said. 100 points.” Bob shed a thumb-up at him.


    Cora giggled as she listened, appearing adorable just then.


    “So, just be open-minded and down-to-earth. Don’t try to ask for too much and learn


    to let go,” Sam said nonchntly. ’That’s how you find happiness in life!’


    “Yeah. I should learn to let go,” Bob agreed a little quietly.


    “Anyway, it’s time for some beer and karaoke once Johnny’s released. Let’s properly

    celebrate tonight,” Sam said, serious for less than a second.


    Before Bob could say yes, Cordy spoke. “No. He’s in bad shape-he should stay home


    and recover. No alcohol.”


    Both men turned toward Cordy at once then, leaving her blushing.


    She did not say anything wrong!


    “Oh, we get it. Absence makes the heart fonder… We’re not going to bother you two!”


    Both Sam and Bob were grinning slyly then.
