Chapter 139


    However, inside the courtroom, the atmosphere felt tense at the intiff’s side.


    Miles was wearing a sullen expression. Next to him, Mr. Stewart, the attorney, was gulping down water


    while looking flustered.


    On the other side, Catherine was chatting happily with Freya. Thetter could not stopughing.


    The attorney beside her was even ying mobile games on his phone.


    “I’ll find out what’s going on.” Anxiety washed through Jeffery in waves as he approached Miles. “Young


    Master rk, what’s the problem with Mr. Stewart? He doesn’t look alright to me.”


    Miles answered with a cold re, “Your daughter is really something.”


    This baffled Jeffery greatly. Mr. Stewart exined with a sigh, “Catherine Jones has hired Australia’s


    undefeated legend as her attorney. It’s a real challenge for me to win this case.”


    No, he did not even stand a chance to win.


    “What undefended legend?!” Jeffery was astonished. “That’s what you promised. You told us you’re


    certainly going to win.”


    The look on Mr. Stewart’s face revealed his annoyance at the man’s ignorance.


    “Come on, at the very least, you’re the president of arge-scale businesspany. Have you not heard


    of the country’s greatest attorney, Shaun Hill? He’s never been defeated although he’s still young. He’s


    incredible. No one can triumph him. My mentor lost to him even with hard evidence.”


    This stunned Jeffery into silence. No wonder Catherine did not seem concerned at all. When did she get


    to know someone like that?


    “Mr. Stewart, how confident are you in winning?” he asked tentatively.


    The attorney frowned as an enigmatic smile spread across his face. “President Jones, you’re a strange


    man. Catherine is your daughter, after all. You should be delighted if she wins.”


    “…”


    Jeffery was at a loss for words.


    Could he really? If Catherine was not thrown into prison, then James would be the one receiving the


    blows.


    However, he had toe up with n B if Mr. Stewart lost. When that happened, he would have no


    choice but to surrender James. After all, thetter was not a Jones. He should not be dragged down


    because of an outsider.


    “I’ll go with the flow. Naturally, it’s better if she’s not given a sentence. But I’m afraid Young Master rk


    might not be satisfied.” He quickly returned to his seat after saying that.


    At the same time, the presiding judge appeared tomence the trial.


    Catherine began to feel nervous. She stole a quick nce at Shaun who was sitting next to her, only to


    see him casually cing his cell phone inside the desk drawer, all while keeping a straight face.


    He behaved nonchntly as if he was not in a courtroom but shopping in the mall.


    The presiding judge hit the gravel to announce themencement of trial.


    Miles’ attorney rose to his feet to submit the relevant evidence and information. He then announced


    Catherine’s crime.

    The jury nodded as they listened. This offense was clearly backed up by conclusive evidence.


    The presiding judge turned to face Shaun. “Objections from the defendant?”


    Shaun rose to his full height, his eyes looking calm and reserved. “The defendant pleads innocent


    because my client had nothing to do with this incident since the beginning. Everything was the


    responsibility of the project manager James Lennon alone.”


    The entire courtroom broke into chaos upon hearing that. James sprung to his feet, agitated. “That’s


    bullsh*t!”


    The presiding judge warned, “Watch yournguage.”


    A brief secondter, the judge spoke again, “Defense attorney, do you have any evidence?”


    Shaun pulled out a stash of documents. “This is the chat history between James Lennon and the


    middleman, Terry Miller. It shows that Miller was the one who set up the inferior quality electrical cables


    and the profit gained was split between them both. James Lennon gained six million dors out of this


    deal whereas Terry Miller gained one million dors. There are also photos of James Lennon and Terry


    Miller frequenting the clubhouse together.”


    After the chat records and photos were submitted to the presiding judge, James really began to feel


    anxious. He only showed up today as a witness, not expecting to be sued by Catherine.


    “I didn’t do that. This is nder.”


    “If you don’t think the evidence is sufficient, then please, allow me to call Terry Miller in as a witness,”


    Shaun said withposed calm.
