Chapter 312: Read His Lips
Chapter 312: Read His Lips
Lana's lips pouted and said, "I told you I never have lost a case till now and am never gonna lose against Liam as well. Do I need to repeat that several times to make you trust me?"
Xander heaved a long deep sigh… So far everything was going smoothly in their favor, but still Lana was just a newbie compared to Liam Sy.
"Maybe your boyfriend will let you win? Men often give way to their women, right?" Chad joked to kill the sudden tension in the air.
Lana twitched her mouth. She too wondered if that would be the case. Liam was hiding something from her, and that was for sure. He did not tell her everything.
After lunch, the trial continued.
Lana presented her next evidence. She detailed every crime as she spoke...
"They said the family was innocent… But is that true, really?"
But Liam hindered Lana again.
"Objection your honor!"
Another objection was heard inside the room, and Xander could see the grin on his opponent's face while Lana pursed her lips as she squinted her eyes at Liam's direction.
"Your honor. All the documents of transfer of the insurance of the man are legit, which proves that the money all came from the insurance company. What's the point of bringing up that issue when the case has already been closed for so many years? The perpetrator admitted his crime and killed himself to atone for it." Lana heard Liam blabbered.
"Moreover, when the insurance was fully paid, the beneficiaries were the innocent family members of the murderer, not he himself," he added.
He then contradicted Lana's statement, presenting enough evidence of no connection of the murderer with his client. Lana saw this coming already, since they had no concrete evidence to pinpoint everything to his opponent about this particular claim.
"He's really good," Chad could not help but mutter while he watched the two lawyers head to head, throwing their words defending each party they were handling. But Chad felt it was too awkward knowing the two lawyers were in a relationship battling inside the courtroom in the same case from opposite parties.
Chad even cringed suddenly imagining Liam and Lana kissing inside the courtroom after hearing the result of the trial. His imaginations ran wild, and he simply imagined a hot passionate kiss between them.
'Yuck such gross!' Chad mumbled, abruptly erasing such a silly scene in front of his eyes.
"Meeting adjourned." The judge announced while the house speaker relayed the next date for the trial to continue.
Yun's eyes shot a deadly stare on Liam and whispered, "What's this?"
Though they had a good fight towards the end of the date, still he felt that they were still left at a disadvantage in the overall proceedings of the trial.
Liam furrowed his brows and muttered, "It's not my fault that your men are incapable of fixing the loopholes! I told you to be honest with me from the start so we can do amends, but you kept me in the dark about so many things! How can I defend you properly if you will not tell me what really happened in every accusation they throw into you?
You only give me things to defend you! Like now? I'm not even aware you stole those damn corpses, that I don't know how to support you on their claim about the ages of the twins who died. You asked me to handle your case, and I accepted, but you have to give your full trust on me regarding this or else I will miss little details that might be really important to defend you. If you can't trust me, then might as well get another lawyer to defend you Mr. Yun."
Yun's facial muscle flinched. He was not stupid enough to admit all those crimes he committed to anyone else except for his brother. Why would he tell this bastard everything? All the things he did, he would bring it to his own grave without admitting to anyone about any to it.
He asked for the best lawyer to defend him and it was said to be Liam Sy. Indeed he did not give Liam enough details about everything because he simply did not trust anyone. Yes, he asked for Liam's help, knowing he was related with the Kens. The Kens who took care of Xander's wife while she had amnesia.
"Make me win this case Attorney Sy at any cost using just all the things that I'm providing you with. You know what will happen if I go down in this fight… I will surely pull you down with me and trust me, you won't like the end result of it…" Yun chided with a meaningful smirk. He had his own reasons on why he chose Liam to defend his case.
"You have to cooperate with me well, Mr. Yun, if you want to win this case. As I've said, I'm afraid you have incompetent men and resources. In the next hearing, they will bring the accusation about Bernard Cooper's death. Are you sure you have already provided me enough details?" Liam grunted with a creased forehead.
"Wait for me to contact you, Attorney Sy," Yun said before leaving his lawyer to the Tai clan security who started blindfolding Liam once more to bring him out of the Judicial area of Mirage Triad.
Liam's jaw tightened. He needed more time. He shifted his gaze to Lana and Xander's direction, who were being blindfolded too. Lana turned and their eyes met.
Liam gave her his sweetest and endearing smile before whispering, "I love you." He was so proud of his wife and how well she presented her case which showed that she had become a very good lawyer in just a short period of time. She carried herself really well while defending her case.
Lana's eyes rounded while she read his lips. Did she read it right? How could he sneak lip sync with such words to her in the open, especially when they were fighting in the courtroom which might jeopardize his mission? But before she could react, the blindfold already covered her eyes, blocking her vision of Liam.
