As the lawyer was making his compelling argument against Sheena, the assistant on the defense side received an email on her laptop.
Reading the first few lines, her eyes widened in shock, and she quickly turned the computer toward

Lionel drove the car and waved at Lucy, who stood quietly behind Noah and Howard.
