Chapter 191 Avery Feels Disgusted by Himself
Gustave didn’t look like he was under pressure as he replied confidently to Hank, “Of course.”
When they walked in, Cyrus, who had already entered the court with Avery and the others, turned back
and blocked Gustave’s path.
Cyrus said politely, “Mr. Walpole, can I have a few words with you? Just one minute. Don’t worry, just a
few words.”
Hank looked a little wary and immediately refused in an unfriendly tone, “The court is about to start. Mr.
Walpole and I should go in. I think we should wait until the court trial is over.”
He did not want Cyrus to y any tricks to influence Gustave’s decision at this
critical moment.
After all, in the domestic case, there were only two trials. If Hank lost this time, Darlene would not be able
to appeal for a divorce in the future, at least
for the next few months.
Gustave looked at the time. There was still a while before the start of the court, so he said calmly, “It’s
fine. Mr. Baker, you can go in first. I’m just an auditor. I don’t need to go in so early.”
Cyrus would not take Gustave as a fool. If he really had any tricks, Gustave
would not wait until this time to use them.
When Hank entered, Cyrus immediately said in a lower voice, “Mr. Walpole,
you should know that something happened to Mr. Gard some time ago, causing some of his memories
to be missing. His current situation is not stable yet.
“He can’t be stimted for the time being, so I want you not to show what Mr. Gard did to Ms. Garcia
in court when you present evidenceter.
Gustave chuckled and said without hesitation, “That’s a pity. I’m afraid I can’t
promise that.”
Cyrus looked a bit pale, “But Mr. Walpole, as far as I know, you already have enough evidence in your
hands, including the recording Ms. Garcia gave you.
“Even if you don’t mention what Mr. Gard did to Ms. Garcia before, the judge will grant a divorce. You
and Ms. Garcia only want to divorce Mr. Gard. What you got is enough to achieve your goal. Why do
you still have to let him get emotional?”
As he spoke, Cyrus added anxiously, “You can show other evidence first. If the court is not willing to
judge the divorce, you can show other evidence.”
Gustave smiled, but he left no room for maneuver. “Cyrus, I only do the thing I am most confident in, and
I only want to solve the problem in the shortest

time.
“Since there are more chips to increase my odds of winning, why should I not show it? Why should I
consider Mr. Gard’s feelings or his physical condition?”
Cyrus’s face froze, and he could not speak for a moment.
Gustave was calm. “Speaking of which, during thest divorce trial, Mr. Gard did not care about Ms.
Garcia’s emotions and worked together with Malcolm to deny his bad deeds, causing Ms. Garcia to vomit
blood in the court.
“Why did no one from the Gard family stand up and persuade Mr. Gard to be lenient and consider
Ms. Garcia’s feelings?”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Cyrus’s face. He was in public gallery during the trial.
Many people in the Gard family witnessed the trial and saw Darlene lose
control, but all they thought of was that Avery won thewsuit.
Gustave held the document bag in his hand and said, “Cyrus, I am not kind. It is a waste of time for you
to talk to me about this today.”
Gustave went in first, and Cyrus stood in ce, unable to say a word.
The judge checked the identities of both sides and let the intiff and the auditors take their seats
ording. Soon, the court trial officially began.
Micheal Lester, who was Avery’s defensewyer, was quite famous in the industry, but he was not
considered an experienced and famous seniorwyer.
Therefore, being chosen by Avery to defend his case, Micheal was a little
ttered.
He had a rtively short time to prepare this case, and he didn’t have time to know the evidence in
Gustave’s hands.
The only thing he knew was that Gustave had a recording. It was that Avery was drunk and forced his
wife to have sex with him.
Micheal’s preparation for Gustave’s evidence was almost on this recording.
Therefore, when Hank showed the recording and it was Avery’s turn to exin, Micheal immediately
stood up and responded,
“My client’s behavior that night was caused by being unconscious after drinking. Apart from that, Mr.
Gard has never carried out any violence
against the intiff.
“We can provide enough evidence to prove that Mr. Gard has notmitted any domestic violence to
the intiff or forced her to have any sex.
“As for being, I need to exin that Mr. Gard does not have a habit of drinking. He drank that night
because he only had some conflicts with Ms.
Garcia…”
Micheal methodically finished the speech that he had prepared beforehand and breathed a sigh of relief
when he continued with satisfaction,
“To err is human. A man quarreled with his wife, causing him to be in a bad
mood and drank a lot. I think it is inappropriate to grant a divorce because of
this.
“Mr. Gard also med himself afterwards and deeply apologized for his behavior. I hope that you can
be lenient.”
The main judge could not make a decision, so he looked at Hank. “Does the intiff have anything else
to say?”
Hank showed the recording first, waiting for Micheal to fall into the trap.
After Micheal expressed that Avery had no other domestic violence against Darlene, he handed over all
the other evidence.
“Mr. Lester said that Mr. Gard has notmitted any domestic violence against Ms. Garcia, then Mr.
Lester needs to exin more for the next
evidence.”
The video was projected on the big screen and began to y on the court.
In the ward, Avery’s extremely cold voice was heard. “Kneel to Vivian!”
In the pouring rain, Darlene’s voice was extremely weak. “Avery, you will die a
horrible death.”
Avery’s face in the heavy rain was a little blurry, but he responded to Darlene’s words. “Kneel until
tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I can do anything to your younger brother who is still lying in the hospital.”
The scene turned back to the sick room, and it was still Avery’s voice. “Vivian,
don’t be silly. I won’t let any other woman give birth to my child. I only want
you for the rest of my life.”
“Take Ms. Garcia to have an examination. If she’s pregnant, let her abort it.”
The public gallery was in an uproar.
Avery’s face turned pale. He could not believe what he was seeing. His
expression changed from a rxed state for winning the case to a pale look.
For some reason, he stood up and stared at himself on the big screen.
His voice was filled with disbelief and fear. “Mr. Lester, what did I see? How could the person on the
screen be me?”
How could it be? Why did he say such disgusting and harsh words and do such horrible things?
