Chapter 155
Chapter 155 Out of Control
Avery turned around and looked at Malcolm who was pulling him behind him, and then at the several
serious judges in the middle of the court trial seats.
Then Avery looked around and saw that the people on his side and Darlene’s side in the public gallery
were all carefully staring at him.
Avery was a little dazed, and he wasn’t even sure where he was standing right now.
What was he doing? It had only been a few months. Why was it that he and Darlene were already at the
point of divorcing?
Hector felt pity for Darlene. He hoped that Avery could say a few meaningful words to prove that the
evidence provided by Darlene was true.
Hector looked at Avery and said, “The defendant, if you have anything to say about the evidence the
intiff submitted, you can say it now.”
Avery only came back to his senses after a long time. Malcolm’s voice once again. sounded in his ear,
“Mr. Gard, we’re on a divorce trial. Your every word and action. may be evidence.
“Once the judicial divorce is done, there is almost no possibility of a sessful appeal.”
Avery’s palm slowly tightened. He looked at the other side. This time, Darlene did not. avoid his gaze but
looked straight at him.
Darlene was waiting for his answer, and the strong expectation in her eyes was clearly
visible.
In the past, she used to look at him like this, hoping that he would care more about her
and look at her more..
But now, Darlene was using this kind of gaze to tell him clearly, “Avery, let’s end it here. I am begging
you. We should have ended this rtionship long ago.”
Avery clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and his mind struggling intensely. In the end, he only
had one thought. He could not divorce, he could not really end this with Darlenepletely.
The moment that thought was confirmed, Avery avoided Darlene’s line of sight and did not dare to look in
her direction again. He turned around and sat back in his seat.
Malcolm let out a sigh of relief and immediately said, “Your honor, the evidence presented by the intiff
has greatly affected the emotions of my client.”
“I apply to have simplemunication with my client, and then I will make an exnation and
reasonable defense on the evidence presented by the intiff on behalf of my client.”
Hector agreed to Malcolm’s request and gave him ten minutes.
The anticipation in Darlene’s eyes dissipated, and at that moment, she let out a coldugh with a pale
face.
What was she looking forward to for such a man?
Darlene was actually hoping that Avery could still have a little bit of conscience. At least, Avery should
consider the endurance of a dying woman like her.
But how could Darlene forget that Avery was heartless? How could a heartless man have any
conscience or soft–heartedness?
Ten minutes was very short. Malcolm said that he wouldmunicate with Avery, but in fact, Avery did
not give him a single word of response.
However, it was not too difficult for Malcolm. Things like sophistry could be considered. Malcolm’s strong
point after being awyer for so many years.
After Malcolm told Hector that he was ready for the trial, he stood up and said,
Thave
already carefully asked my client about the evidence provided by the intiff. Now, I
will make the following exnations.

“First, about the first clip of the surveince video. The gentleman in the video forced anotherdy to
kneel in the heavy rain and even caused physical damage to thedy. However, the gentleman in the
video is not my client. I have no idea how the intiff got this video.”
Darlene’s eyes suddenly trembled. She angrily stood up and looked at Malcolm, who was facing her,
“This is a video, not a photo that can be synthesized.
“The video is clear and we can see the man’s figure, appearance, and clothes. But you are still giving us
chicanery. Don’t you feel ridiculous?
Malcolm looked calm and applied for Hector to rey the video, “I don’t suspect that
the intiff made a fake video. I believe that what happened in this video was real.
“But the gentleman on the front is indeed not my client. The image of the face in the
be heavy rain is rtively blurred. Although the figure and facial features may somewhat simr to my
client, it is not clear enough to confirm that it is him.”
Malcolm ignored Darlene’s red eyes and continued to speak calmly, “As for the clothing and figure, men
are notparable to women. Many men have short hair and often wear suits. It’s verymon, and
many men share a simr height and figure.
“I won’t say too much about this. In short, the video is not clear enough due to the heavy rain, and the
man in the video is not my client.”
Darlene’s palms were trembling as she red fiercely at Avery who was facing her. “As
dare to expected, Mr. Gard, you chose such a shamelesswyer. Shame on you. Do you say that the
man in the video is not you? Can you say
it?”
Hector knocked on the gavel. “Please remain calm and quiet, the intiff. Now is the time for the
defendant to speak. Youngdy, please sit down.”
Darlene’s eyes were red, and she tightly grasped the edge of the table.
Avery still did not look at her and only said, “What mywyer said is true.”
Something exploded in Darlene’s mind, and her emotions and physical condition were
quickly copsing.
How could Avery be so shameless? How could he?
Malcolm continued, “About the second photo, my client has exined the matter of his signing the
intiff’s abortion papers.
“The intiff was terminally ill, and she couldn’t give birth to the child. Although the intiff herself
wanted to keep the fetus, it was obviously impossible.
“As for the otherdy in the photo, Ms. Vivian Sheridan, when her parents passed away at a very young
age, she was entrusted to my client’s family. Therefore, they were family to each other. Their rtionship
was not rted to love or an extramarital
affair…”
Malcolm was a straight–A student from a famousw school and a famouswyer in the industry after all.
He spoke in a clear and orderly manner, smoothly reversing ck and
white.
“As for the photos of my client dragging the intiff into the car, that is because the intiff was suffering
from depression and lost control. My client had no choice but to force her into the car to prevent any
idents from happening when the intiff was emotionally unstable.”
Darlene could taste the blood in her throat, and she trembled terribly. She looked at Avery with eyes full
of hatred.
The difort in her body made Darlene suddenly stand up and rush out of the court. The smell of
blood had already spilled out between her lips and teeth.
Malcolm was very satisfied with his own words. He then took out the evidence in his briefcase, “I still
have evidence here. It can prove that the rtionship between my client and the intiff has not broken.
“There is also evidence that can prove that the intiff was instigated by someone else, which is why
she had the idea of divorce…
Just as Malcolm took out the evidence, Avery stopped him with a cold face, “Enough.”
The court quickly became chaotic. Darlene rushed out, and Avery quickly got up and
followed.
The people in the public gallery also rushed out of the court.
