Chapter 204


    In the court.


    Everyone looked at Judah as if he had suddenly changed into a different person.


    He calmly walked toward Jeanne.


    Then, he said to the judge. "Undeniably, ording to the testimony of the two witnesses, it seems that the matter of my client profiting for herself has


    been established, but in reality, there are many loopholes."


    Everyone looked at Judah attentively.


    "Firstly, Tenda said that my client knew that he was short of money? My client had only returned from abroad for less than a month, and she has been


    busy with the construction of the Lawrence Enterprise’s emerce project. How could she know that the boss of a mere constructionpany is


    having a hard time making ends meet? I don''t need Tenda''s answer to conclude that even the people from hispany didn''t know. Otherwise, the


    news of a constructionpany’s boss being in debt due to gambling would''ve been all over the news. I don’t believe that the reporters in South


    Hampton City aren''t sharp enough!


    "Secondly, Tenda said that he personally made a payment to my client and didn''t inform my client because he wanted to avoid suspicion. When he


    made the payment, he didn''t even send a text message. Was it to avoid suspicion, or was it to not let my client know?’


    Judah''s expression became more serious, "Thirdly, just now, Tenda and Adrian both admitted that they''re very close. Can I suspect that the two of


    them secretly


    plotted everything and framed my client?!" "You''re ndering me!" Adrian suddenly became agitated


    "Calm down!" The judge rebuked angrily.


    Adrian calmed himself down. "I use the defendant''swyer of attacking and insulting me personally."


    "Whether I''m attacking you or not, I have evidence.” Judah said word by word


    Adrian was suddenly stunned.


    Judah took out a document from his seat and said, "Firstly, it''s this dual contract. I believe that everyone present has seen this contract before. The


    judge has seen it, the trial bench has seen it, the prosecution''swyer, the witnesses, the defendant, and I have all seen it before. I just don''t know if


    you''ve seen the other one."


    He took out another contract.


    "This is the contract signed by the Lawrence Enterprise and MUK. I have a lot of copies here. Please distribute them for me."


    The staff went forward and distributed the contracts one by one.


    "If you check carefully, you''ll find that the contract is the same as my client''s dual contract. What does this mean? It means that the contracts were


    written by the same person. Of course, this contract wasn''t written by my client. My client only discussed the project. As for the terms and conditions


    of the contract, they''re the job of the secretarial office of the Lawrence Enterprise''s general affairs department. In other words, this dual contract is


    rted to Lta Walker, the


    secretary-general, Lta!”


    As soon as he said that, Adrian was clearly a little nervous.


    His eyes flickered, and he was a little restless


    At that moment, he could help but look at Joshua in the audience seats.


    Joshua panicked.


    Eden also saw Joshua''s nervousness and said in a low voice, "Calm down."


    Joshua gritted his teeth.


    In the court, Judah asked again, "Your Honor, can Lta appear in court?”


    The judge was a little hesitant.


    Judah said, "Today is Thursday. I''m sure that Lta is working at the Lawrence Enterprise, and a round trip from the court to the enterprise will only


    take 20 minutes."


    The judge and the trial bench discussed for a moment and said, “Permission granted. We''ll now use formal means to get Lta Walker to appear in


    court. The court will be temporarily adjourned for half an hour.”


    The announcement was over.


    The judge left first, then the people in the court also left one after another.


    Judah walked toward Jeanne.


    Jeanne and Judah talked in a low voice.


    She felt a burning gaze on her.


    Jeanne did not even dare to raise her head.


    She was afraid that Kingsley would catch her red-handed.


    The scene was not too quiet at this moment.


    Joshua had run out of the court at this moment. He went to an empty corner and followed Eden''s instructions. He hurriedly gave Lta a call and


    gave a few simple instructions. The next moment. he heard Lta say, the people from the court had gone to the Lawrence Enterprise Corporation


    to look for her.


    As such, Joshua had no choice but to hang up the phone.


    He returned to his seat


    Eden looked at Joshua''s sweaty face. "How is it?”


    “Lta is a smart woman. We can rest assured.”


    Eden nodded.


    At this moment, his expression was still a little ugly.


    Half an hourter, the court resumed


    Lta appeared in court.


    Judah continued, "Ms. Walker, may I ask if the two contracts in front of you were both drawn up by you?”


    I did the first contract between the


    Lawrence Enterprise and MUK. As it


    isarge-seate project of the


    Lawrence-Enterprise, the i


    specifications are rtively high, so I


    was personally involved. At that:


    time,Director Lawrence came to the


    coripany and specifically asked me


    about it. It was indeed deme by me.


    However, the second contract... I


    haven''t seen it before."


    "Are you sure you haven''t seen it before?" Judah asked.


    Lta looked very calm. "No, but after your reminder, these two contracts are indeed somewhat simr. As a professional, I have to say that it''s very


    normal for contracts to be simr because the terms and conditions are almost the same. Besides, I feel that...”


    Lta seemed to be a little afraid to speak.


    "You mustn''t hide anything in the court," Judah said bluntly.


    "When I was drafting the contract


    with MUK, I réceived praise from


    everyone inthepany. At that


    time, Director Hoffman of the x


    generataffairs department even


    commended me at a meeting.-


    Everyone knows this contract was


    written very well, so it''s very normal


    for it to be copied by o hers."


    "So, what you''re saying is that this contract was done by someone who copied you.”


    "It''s just my personal opinion.” Lta was very calm.


    Among the audience, Joshua''s nervousness gradually eased.


    He had not treated the woman well for nothing. She was indeed very smart.


    "Okay. I got it. Your Honor, I still have a witness. Can you allow me to let the witnesse to court?" Judah asked


    "Yes."


    At this moment, a man walked into the courtroom.


    No one knew him.


    Only Lta was a little nervous.


    She unconsciously clenched her hands.


    "May I know your name and upation?"Judah asked


    "My Name Is Horace Whitfield. I''m a contract professionalwyer consultant for the Lawrence Enterprise."


    "Does that mean that you work with Ms. Walker a lot?”


    "Yes, we''ve been working together for many years."


    "Have you seen this contract before?" Judah handed the contract to Horace.


    Horace looked at it and nodded. "I have. This is a contract that Luna asked me to look at in private, probablyst month. She said that it was


    requested by a friend of hers."


    “Are you sure that this contract was given to you by Ms. Walker? Are you sure that it was this contract?”


    “Due to my profession, I have an impression of the contracts that I''ve handled. I still remember that I pointed out a few unreasonable aspects to Luna


    at that time. For example, I asked Luna to change this term at that time,” Horace said affirmatively.


    "Is there evidence to prove that this contract was given to you by Ms. Walker?” Judah asked.


    Horace seemed to be a little hesitant.


    “You''re at court. All of your words and actions have legal effects. Please consider that, Mr. Whitfield."


    Horace said, "I have a video record."


    "Where did you get it?"


    “At that time, Luna came to my office to look for me with this contract. Coincidentally, there was a camera in my office, so it was recorded." "Please


    show me your video." Horace took out his phone and opened the video''s copy. He handed it to Judah.


    After Judah looked at it, he got the staff to pass it to the judges and the trial bench


    At this moment, Lta’s expression changed.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “Your Honor, may I ask if the video can be shown in public?”


    The judge nodded. "Yes."


    The video was shown to everyone.


    Lta took the document and walked into Horace''s office. The two of them were revising the contract together. The camera was in high definition.


    After zooming in, they could see the words on the contract.


    After the video was yed, the crowd was in an uproar again.


    Judah asked, "Your Honor, is the video enough to show that this contract was written by Ms. Walker?”


    "It''s enough.”


    Judah looked at Lta and asked, "What else do you have to say, Ms. Walker?"


    At that moment, Lta was no longer as calm as she was when she first arrived.


    Back then, Lta had indeed asked


    thewyer she was familiar with to


    take a look atthe contract because


    she wanted té.be more perfect. She


    did not wantto arouse too much ~


    suspiciog from the other party, Sen


    she did-aot take too many ~


    meastres. Lta only knew-that it


    was hot safe to keep electronic


    records, but she did not think that


    there would be surveince


    cameras. More importantly, she


    never thought that Jeanne would be


    able to determine that she was


    involved based on two contracts.


    This had nothing to do with her in


    the first ce.


    "Ms. Walker, there''s no need to be nervous. The evidence is clear. It''s futile no matter how hard you try to argue. Now, you just need to tell me the


    reason you wrote this contract.” Judah said.


    In an instant, the defendant, who was originally in a passive position, hadpletely taken the initiative!
