    Chapter 99 A Sudden Change


    “Just wait to lose thewsuit!”


    With that, Macey walked into the court with an arrogant smile on her face.


    Gina and Amelie were both speechless. This was the first time they had seen someone who was in the


    wrong yet still so unscrupulous.


    Not long after, Sasha rushed over with a stack of documents in her arms.


    “Everything is almost ready. We can go in now.”


    Sasha nodded at Gina and went in directly from the inner court. As an auditor, Amelie


    had to wait outside until the court was in session.


    Unexpectedly, when Amelie was in the hall, Lamont came with awyer.


    “Why are you here?”


    “For awsuit.”


    Lamont said those words through his teeth and found an empty seat to sit down.


    Amelie didn’t wait for long, and she entered with other people.


    She felt a little strange when she saw Macey sitting alone on the dock and looking


    anxious.


    “Mrs. Byron, where is yourwyer?”


    The judge motioned for everyone to be quiet.


    “Uh… Maybe something happened to him on the way here. I’ll call him again.” As she


    spoke, Macey grabbed the phone on the table and dialed a number, her hand trembling.


    After a moment of silence, a cell phone rang in the court. It was from the auditorium.


    “Whose phone is ringing? Please don’t use your cell phone during the court session. Please keep it


    silent.” The judge looked at the auditorium unhappily, while Macey pointed in the direction of the


    ringtone and shouted with unusual excitement, “He is mywyer!”


    All of a sudden, the audience booed. When Macey saw the person sitting next to her


    “How did youe out?”


    Amelie followed Macey’s line of sight and looked over. It was Lamont and thewyer he


    brought.


    “Mr. Brown?”


    Sasha muttered in a low voice.


    “Why can’t Ie out?”


    Lamont stood up, buttoned his suit, and stared straight at Macey. “Everyone, take a good look. This is


    my biological mother. Not only did she frame me, but she also forced me to a dead end.”


    “Hiss…”


    There was even louder noise in the court. The judge asked the auditors to keep quiet but to no avail.


    He needed to call the bailiffs to maintain order.


    Because of Lamont’s identity, the police could only persuade him gently.


    “Sir, please calm down. This is a court. Please be serious.”


    Lamont quieted down, yet Macey was still restless.


    “What nonsense are you talking about? When did I frame you?


    “Lamont, you have no conscience! I am your mother! How can you disrespect me like


    this?


    “Tell me clearly!”


    Macey was like a shrew. She never thought that Lamont would be released from the police station


    quietly, nor did she think that herwyer would actually follow Lamont!


    “Mrs. Byron, please remain calm!”


    The judge was snapping his gavel continuously and had to announce a short adjournment.


    A few bailiffs worked together to pull Macey out of the court.


    “It’s annoying all day long.” The judge coughed twice. Just now, he had been shouting and trying to


    maintain order, which made him feel thirsty. He had been working for so many years, and this was the


    first time he had seen such a situation.


    Amelie went to the waiting room where Sasha and Gina were at. They had the same shocked


    expression on their faces.


    “There’s going to be a good show. Just wait and see.” Amelie knew that Lamont had found evidence


    and wanted to make things difficult for Macey in public.


    Sasha had a look of relief after surviving a disaster. “Oh my goodness! I just found out that thewyer


    of the defendant was Jasper! If not for the episode, I might have no


    chance to win thewsuit.”


    “Jasper?”


    “Yes. He is a topwyer in Lionale Law Firm. He has a silver tongue and can turn ck


    into white.”


    “Is he so powerful?”


    Amelie nodded thoughtfully. She rejoiced that her decision to help Lamont was right.


    As they were talking, they heard a noisy argument in the next room.


    “This is fake!”


    “The evidence is here. How dare you say that it is fake?”


    “Lamont, are you…”


    Amelie was a little curious. She slipped to the next room and wanted to look inside.


    There was a group of people in the room, and Macey’s voice came from the crowd. It


    seemed that she was surrounded in the middle.


    “The tape shows that you have got sodium cyanide from someone else! You are still quibbling!”


    “I told you. It was my brother who got it, and it has nothing to do with me.”


    “Your brother? Are you talking about Mr. Aylward? We checked his whereabouts that day. He had no


    time to give you the poison.”

    “Couldn’t he ask someone to send it to me?”


    “Mr. Aylward does not have such a source. The person who sent you the poison is your adulterer,


    right?”


    Adulterer?


    Amelie was shocked. She did not expect that there would be so many unknown things


    behind the case.


    “Uh…


    Macey didn’t know what to say.


    She indeed had a lover, who was a spy nted by Wird in the underworld. That was also why they


    had the opportunity to frame the unlucky scapegoat for smuggling at the


    interview.


    Macey nced at Lamont. Lamont’s face darkenedpletely, and no one could tell what he was


    thinking.


    Jasper continued to confront Macey with the document in his hand. “ording to our investigation, Mr.


    Aylward has nothing to do with your lover. Your lover obtained the sodium cyanide from the


    underground market!”


    “Yes! That’s right! He indeed bought it from the underground market. But he is rted


    to Wird!”


    Macey was willing to give up, and she threw caution to the wind.


    In any case, she had been investigated by Lamont, and she was going to die with


    Wird.


    “Macey, are you saying that I have a rtionship with your lover?”


    Amelie was fascinated by what she heard and didn’t notice that another person was


    standing beside her.


    It was Wird!


    “That’s right! Don’t you admit it?”


    Macey pointed at Wird and shouted at the top of her voice. It was as if as long as


    Wird was involved, others‘ attention and condemnation of her would reduce.


    “What are you talking about, Macey? I don’t even know that you have a lover. How could it have


    anything to do with me?” Wird was telling the truth, and there was a hint of sorrow in his eyes.


    “Macey, you are muddle–headed. Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you had done such a thing? I


    can help you.”


    “Wird, you…”


    Macey wanted to approach Wird in a frenzy, yet she was controlled by the bailiffs and


    could not move.
