Chapter 138


    Catherine also threw a nervous nce at Shaun, only to see that he remained nonchnt as if he had


    not just been insulted.


    “A piece of trash doesn’t deserve to speak to me.”


    He retrieved his cold nce and turned toward Catherine. “Come in with me.”


    Then, he walked toward the courtroom. She quickly trailed behind him.


    Hadley shed a smile at James. “Speak your mind when you still have the chance.”


    His smile was reserved and polite, yet it sent a shudder down James’ spine. “Aunty, will I be alright?”


    Sally looked at him tenderly. “Don’t worry, your Uncle Jeffery has cleaned up all the evidence left behind.


    You’re only here today as a witness.”


    “Behave yourself next time if you’re a coward.” Jeffrey gave a snort of contempt. In actuality, he did not


    like James too much but Sally had taken a liking to this nephew. Besides, James knew how to please


    them with gifts every now and then.


    “Don’t worry, this youngd is just using his powerful connections to intimidate people. I’ve not heard of


    him in Melbourne.”


    Reba frowned. “I’ve seen him before. He’s a good friend of Chase Harrison. It was him who ordered


    to have me, J, and Cindy thrown out of the restaurantst time. James, you should probably watch


    your mouth.”


    “What? He’s a friend of Chase Harrison?!” James waspletely taken aback but soon regained his


    composure. “It’s alright, Miles rk will surely punish him for taking on Catherine’s case. So what if he


    has Chase to back him up? The man himself is not a member of the Harrison family.”


    Reba was persuaded. However, that man exuded an overly domineering aura as if he was at the top


    of the food chain. She had never seen anyone like him in Melbourne.


    Just as she was lost in her thoughts, the elevator doors opened again. This time, Wesley and Ethan


    walked out of it at the same time.


    Ethan clenched his teeth angrily the second he saw the woman. “Reba, you b*stard. I must’ve been


    blind to have actually trusted you!”


    “Watch your mouth!” Jeffery reprimanded, “You’re the one who wanted to take advantage of my


    daughter. It’s a shame. Take a good look at yourself now. You don’t deserve her at all.”

    Ethan suddenlyughed as he turned to look at the Jones couple.


    “You used to take pride in watching me grow up and treated me as your own son. I thought it was all


    genuine. Reba is definitely your birth daughter. The three of you are exactly the same.”


    Impatience washed over her face. “Don’t y the victim. You only got engaged to me because I’m the


    sessor to Summit.”


    “You…”


    Ethan’s face was overcast. He was about to spit out harsh words when Wesley reminded him, “This is


    the courtroom. It’s not a ce for you to argue.”


    He had no choice but to keep quiet. However, as he walked toward the courtroom with his uncle, he


    could not resist throwing another nce at the rest. “James, do you know who’s the attorney


    representing Cathy today?”


    A look of surprise shed across James’ face. “A nobody. We’ve met earlier,” he replied with a cold


    smile.


    “Ha, all of you are really uncultured.” Ethan walked into the courtroom after teasing them.


    James and the Jones family who were left behind did not know how to react.


    “It’s going to be alright. Catherine doesn’t have the money or connections. How could she have possibly


    hired someone more capable than Mr. Stewart?” Jeffery said before leading the others into the


    courtroom.


    They had to be present today as they were the witnesses.
