Chapter 395 Winning and Losing From now on, whenever Dominic saw her face, he would think that if she hadn't become "sick" and haunted him, he wouldn't have failed Selena and harmed her, and he wouldn't have repudiated his marriage and lost her completely.
When he saw her, he remembered the cruel things that "Mrs. Riddle" had done to Selena, and his heart grew feud of the Riddle family, even hating them.
When he saw her, he remembered Selena, who had desperately defended her innocence for him, almost risking her life, but had never received a word of comfort or defence from him since the beginning.
He had even been abusing her and hurting her because of it.
Selena, that bitch, definitely did it on purpose.
Selena knew that there was no way she would let Dominic stand up to defend her and testify, so she kept quiet, deliberately showing her weakness, letting Dominic see her being vulnerable, waiting for Matilda to appear and then using that woman's mouth to tell the truth, making Dominic feel guilty and remorseful.
And that last blessing, she was basically cursing her and Dominic to be together, and could not even part though they hated each other.
Venom almost seeped out of Leah's eyes, and she wanted to scream in anger.
Why are there always so many people popping up to defend Selena? Selena's boyfriend, Luke, Creephia University, the Riddle family from the capital, Matilda. So many people defend Selena and hold her in high esteem while she is left alone and relying on a Dominic who doesn't love her at all.
Now she is facing the imminent end of losing her mother. Leah's heart is exhausted, and along with the tears welling up, there is the jealousy and hatred that is rising wildly and violently in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf these words had been spoken by someone else, the lawyer Leah had hired would have been able to find words to refute them.
But the one who spoke was Matilda, the youngest colonel in the country, with the military standing behind her. Who dared to question her lies? In particular, Matilda was standing beside Selena at the moment, although she didn't show much defense, but a colonel who was a day-to-day manager could come all the way to testify for Selena, who dared to say that there was no friendship between them? Thinking of how ruthlessly Selena had just smashed Bison, the lawyer no longer dared to use the same underhanded tactics against Selena as before.
And this case is already well-documented, even Mrs. Riddle herself has confessed, they have no way to find loopholes in Selena's words to flip the case, then in the end, there is only one outcome.
It was a lawsuit that they had to admit defeat.
The lawyer took a deep breath, "Your Honor, | have no more questions." In the chaperone's seat, Leah grimaced, naturally knowing that the moment the lawyer said this, it meant that there was no hope of turning the case over.
Molly committed a crime, and would next face sentencing.
Leah bit her lip, stared deadly at Selena, her face sinister, she would not let Molly go to jail, absolutely not.
After Leah's lawyer finished speaking, several judges consulted with each other and all nodded their heads, confirming the validity of Matilda's testimony.
The defendant's lawyer stepped down and it was Olympus Group's lawyer's turn to ask questions next.
This group of lawyers sent by Luke can be described as truly clever, coupled with being well-prepared, they had been holding their breath as Selena had been suppressed by the other side before, and now, having seized the opportunity, they immediately began to question Molly.
Even with Leah and the lawyer's admonition in the first place, Molly's mental quality was not qualified to compare with Selena's, and almost at first, her mind was disturbed.
In the midst of panic and fear, a lot more was dug up by Olympus Group's lawyers, and if it wasn't for Molly's love for her daughter and her deadly insistence that she did this, maybe even what Leah did could have been dug up.
In the end, for one case, Olympus Group's lawyers listed two full A4 sheets of charges.
Molly's face was ashen and cold as she listened to the charges.
As ignorant as she was, she knew that once these charges fell on her head, her life could be over.
Molly looked at Leah in horror.
Leah gritted her teeth and gave Molly a comforting glance at the lawyer at her side.
The lawyer received her look and stood up at once, "Your Honour, my advocate has something to say." The judge granted permission.
The lawyer spoke up, "My advocate once confessed to me that she had done something irrational in a moment of confusion for the sake of her daughter, and afterwards she expressed her regret.” "I'm sure your Honour understands that my advocate and her daughter, having lived for a long time in an environment of verbal and cold violence of mistress and illegitimate daughter, are inevitably paranoid in nature, and this incident occurred when Selena and Dominic were preparing to get married, and she looked at her daughter in gloom and was driven by a heart of love for her daughter to do what she did to hurt her." "And, my advocate was genuinely contrite, if not, she would not have voluntarily surrendered, plus, she did not cause any real irreparable harm to the victim." "Most importantly, my advocate, who has a history of chronic headache disorders, has been given a diagnosis by the medical profession that she has moderate bipolar disorder and is easily provoked and then acts irrationally. Based on the above, | hope, at your discretion, gentlemen of the bench, that my advocate will be treated with leniency.” There was an outcry and faces were filled with shock.
The Olympus Group's lawyers’ faces changed slightly, clearly none of them had expected that the other side had such an underhanded card.
Leia had cursed out loud in anger, "Shameless!" Selena's gaze turned icy cold.
The lawyers could refute the first points, but the last point, that Molly was bipolar, was tantamount to saying that she was a psychopath.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoreover, Selena knew that this matter was high likely true.
Leah did not have the guts to fake this kind of thing.
Molly did suffer from long-standing headaches and was impatient and irritable, often taking it out on Selena.
This kind of problem, which in normal times is no big deal, at most a person with a nasty disposition, has become a protective charm for Molly at this time.
This is Leah's greatest reliance.
She was certain that even if the lawsuit was lost and Molly was sentenced, she would not go to jail.
This woman, indeed, never fails.
Selena raised her head to look at Leah, but he ran right into her expression that was calm.
Leah looked at her coldly, her soft eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, with a hint of smugness.
The mockery was so obvious that she told her again, how about even if she won the case? She and Molly would be fine as usual.
In the end, she had to admit her bad luck after all the trouble she had gone through to win the case.
Selena smiled, her eyes cold, and under Leah's resentful and smug gaze, she stood up.
