Chapter 87
Chapter 87
Bert was a lawyer. Once he was serious, it was scary.
Marshal was really frightened by Bert's scolding.
He didn't want to go to jail.
He became quieter and sat in the dock.
At the moment, Caspar asked Helen's classmate, "Did you recognize the voice?"
Helen's classmate thought about it for a few seconds. Then she looked at Marshal, pointed at him, and
said, "I heard his voice that day. It was the same roar."
"Nonsense! You must have heard wrong. It wasn't me. If you continue to talk nonsense, I'll kill you!"
Marshal was always domineering and it was hard for him to change his temper for a moment. When he
was irritated, he didn't even take the occasion into consideration.
Bert really wanted to curse him. 'Is he f*cking insane? How dare he threaten others at this moment?'
Caspar did not miss the chance to hit Marshal. He took the opportunity to ask, "Four years ago, it was
you who caused a car accident. You were afraid of going to jail so you framed Arya and let her take the
blame for you, right?"
"No. No." Marshal shook his head in a panic.
"It's you! On the day of the accident, you lost money gambling and were in a bad mood. You drank too
much at the Tulip Private Club. When you drove home, you passed Jindu Road and caused a car
accident. You were afraid of going to jail, so you framed the owner of the car to take the blame for you!"
"This is all a figment of your imagination. Do you have any evidence? If you don't, you're slandering my
client!" Bert retorted quickly. He was afraid that Marshal would not be able to stand such an
interrogation.
Marshal's face turned pale from fear because Caspar was telling the truth. He felt uneasy.
"Of course I have evidence!" Caspar said in a low voice, "Your honor, I have a witness to prove that
what I just said is true."
He had put a lot of effort into this case, and this was the day he had been waiting for all these years.
How could he not be sure? He wanted to avenge his sister for what she had suffered during the past
four years.
Soon, a new witness was seated. He was the manager of the underground casino and the waiter of the
Tulip Private Club.
The witness proved that Marshal had lost a lot of money that day when he gambled. He said that
Marshal was in a bad mood and had a fight with someone at the casino. It was only after the manager
persuaded him that Marshal stopped.
After leaving the casino, Marshal went to the Tulip Private Club, played with some women, and drank a
lot.
Then he had a car accident on the way home.
"Suspect, do you have anything else to defend?!"
Caspar asked sharply.
Marshal grabbed Bert. "You're my lawyer. You have to protect me, or you won't get any benefit!"
Bert frowned tightly. He had seen varieties of clients. Some couldn't control their temper and make a
big fuss; some pretended to be crazy to get away with it, but he had never seen such a stupid client like
Marshal.
He threatened whoever he could. He didn't think about his own situation!
Bert also felt that he was stupid enough to take this case. Marshal was incurable.
But before he came, he had already talked to Rufus. In this matter, he had to find a way to get the
Jones Family involved.
Bert pulled Marshal and told him in a low voice that as long as he insisted that this matter was related
to Xavier, he had a chance to be saved.
Bert knew clearly that it was almost impossible to win this lawsuit.
But if he could do what he promised Rufus, he wouldn't lose too badly.
In order to survive and not to go to jail, Marshal would dare to say anything no matter what impact it
would have on others.
"How to say?" He could do it, but he was so stupid that he couldn't figure out what to say to get Xavier
involved.
Bert shook his head. He felt that the man was completely incurable, but he resisted the urge to get
angry.
"Just say that Xavier was with you the day of the accident."
Marshal nodded repeatedly.
"Does the defendant have any new evidence?"
Before Bert could say anything, Marshal couldn't wait to say, "When Howard died, Xavier was also
there. He can prove that I didn't kill him."
Marshal was so selfish that he even dared to frame Xavier.
Caspar frowned. Xavier was unlucky enough to get acquainted with such a terrible family.
And he almost became a relative with such a family.
"What you said has nothing to do with this case. Does the accuser have anything else to say?"
"I have something to say." Bert stood up. Although he couldn't win, he could still have dirt on Arya.
"According to my investigation, Miss Harrison was still restless in prison. She had an affair with a prison
guard named Jasper and was pregnant in prison. Even if the evidence proves that she was not the
perpetrator, she is still a bad person!"
Caspar's face darkened and he snapped, "This is a personal attack!"
"But I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the prison guard back then."
Caspar's face darkened. He had always known that Bert had a bad reputation in the circle, but he didn't
expect him to be so despicable.
If he couldn't win the case, he would attack others personally.
Arya grabbed Caspar's arm. There was no need to pursue this. Although what Bert said sounded bad,
she was indeed pregnant in prison.
It couldn't be erased.
But it implicated Jasper again. Jasper was clearly innocent, but just because of his close relationship
with her, he had all kinds of a bad reputation.
When she thought of Jasper, Arya's eyes were slightly moist. She didn't know how he was. He had
never contacted her for so long.
'How is he?'
Soon, she came back to her senses and thought about the case. For her, it didn't matter how she was
discussed by others. What was important was that Marshal should be punished.
"Your honor, I have new evidence to provide. Everyone must know about the pornographic video that
was spread on the internet two days ago.
Everyone only knew that the woman involved died because of the pressure of public opinion, but they
ignored the man involved.
Why was there such a video? Why can only the woman's face be seen but not the man's face? "
Knock, knock, the judge struck the gavel. "What you said has nothing to do with this case."
"Your honor, it's related. Because the man in that video is the suspect on the dock. He is not only
suspected of the crime of hit-and-run, framing, murder, he also committed rape, so that the victim could
not stand the pressure of the outside world, and jumped off the building to commit suicide!"
"Nonsense, that man is not my son at all. That's a bunch of hooligans!" Estella couldn't stand it any
longer. There were one by one of the charges against Marshal. Her son might be killed. How could she
sit still?
She argued for her son.
"How did you know it was a group of hooligans?" Caspar asked.
Estella panicked. "I... I guessed."
"How dare you say it without proof?" Caspar looked at Estella with disdain.
"It's not my son anyway!" Estella couldn't explain, so she insisted that it was not Marshal.
Caspar looked at Estella disdainfully and presented the evidence to the judge.
"This is the list of cases where the victim had once miscarried for the suspect. The date is after the
video was released. And here is the diary written by the victim before she died. It is related to the
suspect."
Soon the evidence was presented, and Caspar was not idle during the review.
"Everyone thought that the video was a simple pornographic video, but it wasn't. It was the suspect
who drugged the victim, thus causing the victim to have sex with him in a daze. The suspect also
spread the video maliciously, causing the victim to be physically and mentally injured. Because of the
pressure of public opinion, she chose to jump off the building."
At this time, another witness came in. When Sunny was working at the club, she had been with
Marshal. It was not a secret and many people knew. It was not difficult to find the records of Marshal's
purchase of hallucinogens.
Because that was what Marshal always did.
As long as one wanted to investigate him, he could find it out accurately.
This also made it easier for Arya and Caspar to find evidence.
Arya glanced sharply at Estella, who was sitting under the stage. Her son had to pay for the evil things
she had done. How Estella would feel?
But this was not the end. Caspar also handed over the evidence of Marshal's murder. Both witnesses
and material evidence were available.
Even Arya was surprised. They didn't find much evidence because it was a murder case. 'Why did he
suddenly find it?'
Caspar saw Arya's puzzled eyes, but he didn't answer, because he didn't know who gave it to him.
Before the trial, he received an anonymous courier with evidence and the name of the witnesses.
When Caspar found them, they readily agreed to testify in court.
Actually, these were all arranged secretly by Xavier, and the manager of the casino was also invited by
Xavier. With Caspar's ability, he could not invite the manager to be a witness.
Xavier would not allow Rufus to get the Jones Family involved with this case. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
The case had to be solved by the year before, so he made a lot of preparations and arranged a lot of
things in advance.
Marshal also seemed to realize that he might go to jail. Under Bert's fan, he lost control and made a big
fuss in the court. "You can't convict me. Do you know who I am? I'm Xavier's future brother-in-law. Do
you know Xavier's father? He's the leader of the second military region."
"Take him down." The judge knocked on the gavel. "The suspect is involved in too many cases and the
evidence needs to be verified. The trial results will be announced in two days."
"It wasn't me. You can't convict me of rape or murder..."
Soon, Marshal was taken down and the voice gradually disappeared in the hall.
"I declare the court adjourned!"
Bert left the fastest and felt ashamed.
Estella was so regretful. If she hadn't planned to hurt Arya, she wouldn't have provoked those
hooligans.
If she hadn't provoked those hooligans, she wouldn't be blackmailed, and Marshal wouldn't clash with
Howard because of money, and Howard wouldn't die.
There would be no such thing as today.
Estella regretted it. But at the same time, she felt that it was all Arya's fault that her son would be
convicted of multiple crimes and receive punishment. Howard was dead, and Sunny jumped off a tall
building, causing a big scandal. The charges all fell on Marshal, so naturally, the sentence would not be
light.
Estella was furious, and she rushed at Arya recklessly. "B*tch, you hurt my son. I'll kill you!"
Estella was about to scratch Arya's face crazily.
Richard sat in the chair as if he had been deflated and lifeless.
Caspar stood in front of Harriet. "Are you crazy? If you dare to touch her, I will sue you for intentional
injury!"
Estella didn't care at all. She just wanted to destroy Arya.
Harriet stepped forward when she saw that Caspar was being pestered by Estella. She raised her hand
to hit Arya.
However, Arya caught her and slapped her back.
There was a loud sound.
Arya's eyes were cold. "It's all your own fault to put him in jail. Don't blame anyone!"
She was not the weak woman four years ago who allowed them to frame, humiliate and scold her.
Arya pulled Caspar over and confronted Estella. "Isn't it especially heartbreaking to see your own son
being convicted?"
"It's all because of you!" Estella bent her arm and was about to scratch Arya's face. Before she could
touch Arya, Caspar grabbed her hand. Estella's goal was very clear. She wanted to destroy Arya's
face.
She was really vicious.
"Mom, don't let this b*tch go today. She not only hurt Marshal but also took Xavier. I'm going to ruin her
face so that she can't seduce Xavier anymore."
Estella had the same idea as Harriet, so the two of them pounced on Arya at the same time.
Just then, a few police officers rushed out and controlled Estella and Harriet. "If you don't want to go to
jail, just behave yourself. This is not a place where you can make a scene!"
Caspar took the opportunity to grab Arya's wrist and pull her away.
As she walked through the corridor, Arya saw Xavier walking through the window. 'Why is he here?
"What's wrong?" Caspar asked when he saw Arya stop.
"Hmm?" Arya came to her senses and said, "Nothing."
When she looked at the window again, there was no one.
'Could it be that my illusion?'
'I must be wrong. How could he be here?'
