”Did you hear that? They are saying that at the court, the royals have come to support Li Xue? How can that be possible?””Do you think that Li Xue has some link with them? The royals are not simple people whom anyone can reach out to for their benefit”
”I have heard Li Xue has been recently working on some royal project. Maybe that way, she has come to know them.”
”But still, I never saw the royals ever coming like this in anyone’s support.”
”Haha … we have already said our goddess has the aces that none knew. Of course, she got supported by the royals because they knew that she wasn’t wrong.”
”Yes, Li Xue is our goddess. She can’t be wrong. The victim is just gathering sympathy with her pitiful words and influencing people’s perceptions about our goddess. Let me see how high she holds her head when the court punishes her for her offense.”
The moment people heard of the presence of the royals beside Li Xue, their opinions drastically changed. And the admirers of Li Xue who have been silent all this while to minimize the damage also came forward to show their never-changing support for her.
While on the other side, the victim girl was all shell-shocked at her place. She thought that she had to win against Li Xue and that would be simple because Zhang Xiaotong had mentioned to her that Li Xue would stand alone without any power. Then how come today, the royals have appeared in the woman’s support?
Did Zhang Xiaotong purposely make her the pawn in her game? If yes, then wouldn’t she be finished if Li Xue wins the case? After all, the royal’s power was unfathomable and she couldn’t be courageous to think that she could stand them.
”Ms. Ji, what happened? We just wanted to hear your opinions.” When the reporters didn’t see any reply coming from the girl, they probed again to ask.
And coming into their trap of provocation, the girl lost her composure as she said in a mild stuttering voice. “I-I am just an orphan and I have been used to living alone. I believe even though Li Xue has brought some people to support her, I would have bigger support and that’s that of the netizens.”
She said and her words like that created another wave on the internet. Suddenly people really started to feel that she was purposely being like that to get everyone’s sympathy.
”Heh! She is trying to be pitiful saying that she is an orphan. Doesn’t she know that Li Xue has also been abandoned by her parents five years ago?”
”She is just any teenage girl who has come learning things from some second-grade antagonist of some cheap drama.”
”And another thing is she crazy? What does she think she is talking about? They are royals. Whose support could be bigger than them?”
”I think she has gone insane. Let’s do some charity and book her a room in a mental asylum. I think she is in dire need of that.”
Within seconds several threads of discussion were created on the internet. The girl was fortunate that she didn’t have the time to check them online otherwise if she had gotten one look at the backlashes she was receiving online, she wouldn’t have the strength to even think to get into the courtroom.
Even the reporters who had earlier come to ask her the question felt hesitant to talk to her now. Even though they wanted to raise the value of their channel by telecasting the news of the topic. They couldn’t fathom the possibility of offending the royals. After all, the words of the girl could be treated as nothing but an insult toward the royals.
”Ms. Ji, you should go first. It’s already time for your hearing to get started. We will interview you again after the court decides the result of the case,” they said before giving way to the girl to walk in the direction of the tribunal building.
The victim girl also didn’t stay for long. The moment they gave her the leeway, she escaped as she has been waiting to do that for a long time. Walking upstairs to reach the courtroom, she was quick to find a corner halfway to make a call to Zhang Xiaotong first. But even though she rang her phone five whole times, there was no reply and that pushed her more towards the anxiousness.
But just when she was about to go crazy in her nervousness, a voice from a distance jolted her. “Ms. Ji!”
She turned to look and there she saw a man standing all dressed in formal attire with a red robe hanging in his arms.
”My name is Peng Zhongmou. Ms. Zhang has hired me to help you with the case.” He introduced himself and the girl asked him in a daze.
”Are you the same Lawyer Peng who is infamous for never losing any case?”
The man nodded. “Yes, you can say I am on the list of that group.” He said with a poker expression and the girl’s anxiousness at once eased. But before she could say anything, the man interrupted her thoughts to say, “If you are ready, we should get to the courtroom first. Punctuality is the first thing that people notice in the room so we can’t dare to be late.”
He said and nodding to him the girl at once set off to reach the courtroom first. She was no longer as nervous as before. With Lawyer Peng by her side, she would definitely win the case. And as long as she wins the case, no one could punish her. Not even the royals. As she walked, she asked, “Lawyer Peng, we would be going to win, right?”
The lawyer didn’t get overconfident, but nodded to her words, “Yes, our case seems strong. I have read the details. Also, I have heard the defendant has yet to get a lawyer. Without one, she would have no one to represent the case and would terribly fail”
He said and the girl smiled victoriously, nodding at him with understanding. So, what if Li Xue had the support of the royals? There could be no way she would be able to stand in front of her. After all, she would have no lawyer to represent her case at the end of the day.
”Then I will thank you in advance, Lawyer Peng. Please look after me in the courtroom later.”
