Chapter 203: Do You Think You Can Beat Liam
The judge arrived in the courtroom, and Liam presented the case in front of him. Lana looked at Gale with a smile and whispered an assurance, "You and Gilbert will soon receive the justice you deserve."
Gale nodded and tilted her head down, biting her lip. Her eyes welled up, remembering Gilbert. She tried to suppress her tears and composed herself since the trial was yet to begin. She was hopeful and despite Lana's assuring words though she set herself to still not expect anything too much and wait for the final outcome, then move forward to fight again.
Gale's eyes narrowed at Frank, who was sitting two rows behind her. He met her glare.
'The nerve!' she wanted to shout and kill the man who was even smiling at her!
Meanwhile, Frank was feeling uneasy in his heart and was changing his position on his seat. He looked at Gale and put up his usual smile for her, but he noticed that Gale looked at him differently this time. She used to have a respectful gaze towards him, but at that moment he felt it was not respect but hatred in her eyes towards him.
'Something was not right.' he mused as he felt more weary seeing her.
Though Yun had promised to get him out of the mess soon and not to panic, even if everything seemed to be at his disadvantage.
'F*ck! How could I not panic!' he growled inwardly. He was panicking inside and was contemplating whether to stay or not inside the courtroom.
"Your honor, my client is innocent and was being framed for the crime she did not commit. I have submitted additional evidence proving of her innocence." Liam started with his speech as he elaborated the additional evidence they found and submitted.
"Mr. Frank Doug Ming, who's Gilbert's uncle, was buried in debt because of his gambling addictions. All records of his impending debt are submitted to you, your honor. You can see the outrageous amount of debt he was into causing him to loan a high amount from the loan sharks, illegal loan sharks.
Mr. Gilbert trusted his uncle very much, so much so that he made him his beneficiary to all his properties and money should anything happen to him, but Gilbert was about to change it and was planning to transfer it all to his wife and make her the beneficiary in all his property as well as insurances…
Gilbert's uncle came to know about his plans and hence immediately made a move for that to happen. Thus, staging everything and fabricating the murder of Gilbert to blame it all on his wife Gale Ming, who was clearly innocent." Liam explained while he showed every proof of his claims to all inside the courtroom.
Everyone in the crowd who were present in the courtroom and belonged to Gilbert's family and friends gasped hearing this. They could not believe that all evidence pointed out towards Gilbert's uncle, Frank, who seemed to be the most trusted person and someone who would never do that thing to him.
Frank stood up from his chair to go and leave in panic, but the police in that instant barged in with an arrest warrant together with Attorney Luo, who gave look at Liam and winked at him as her signal.
Noah saw that and mumbled, "Is it her hobby to wink at her boss!"
"Who sir?" Craig asked and looked around but his boss only answered him with a hiss. "Attorney Sy is indeed good. Who would have thought that he would be able to pull her out of this case?" Craig could not help but voice out as his eyes shifted to the woman who was lucky enough to get saved by her lawyer.
Frank's face paled as he shouted, "It's not me!" Police officers with the warrant of arrest rushed to him.
Liam shook his head as he said next, "Your honor if you allow me… Here is the recording of my conversation with Mr. Frank Ming where he gave me a good offer to drop Gale's case and save him by letting her get convicted."
The judge signaled Liam to play the recording, and everyone heard the conversation.
"That's not me! It's fabricated!!!" Frank shouted, but Liam asked to play next to the cctv footage of them going inside the cafe. Liam was clever enough to sit in a place near where the camera was, thus his conversation with Frank was also loud and clear in that footage.
Frank's knees weakened, and he almost slumped to the ground if not for the policeman beside him who was quick to grab him. Frank sealed his mouth. He should not have been reckless because Yun would take care of it.
He gritted his teeth as he looked at Liam. "You think this all will end here, huh?" Then he looked at everyone and shouted, "I am innocent and I have the right to get my attorney to prove it!"
Liam ignored him because his major aim at that point was to prove Gale was innocent. He continued with his speech asking the judge to release Gale, the whole reason for what he fought this case, not minding how Frank was dragged out by the police.
Noah watched Liam keenly as he continued to place evidence after evidence that his client Gale was innocent and merely a victim of being framed up by her husband's uncle and he was obviously doing a good job at that.
'No wonder he's considered as the best.' Noah mused. At the back of his head, he believed there could be someone who would beat Liam soon. He was not a lawyer, but he was hoping to have someone in his firm who could go against Liam and beat the crap out of him on his unbeatable title.
The trial paused at lunch break, and Noah took this time to approach Luo. "Do you think you can beat Liam once you start working for me?" he asked nonchalantly.
