Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1024

In the dignified, solemn court, a court hearing was about to begin.

After both sides submitted their evidence and made their statements, the fierce lawsuit went straight to the

point. Since he was still listed as the first defendant, the first step was for the plaintiff to show its evidence and

response.

"Your Honor, pregnancy can affect a woman's mental functions and there's even a term, ‘pregnancy brain’, for

that. Even if the defendant isn't pregnant with my child, | still sympathize with pregnant women. | can also

understand how unstable a pregnant woman's emotions can be. It's normal for her to be insensible! Therefore, |

can also understand why she took it back and made an appeal after admitting to have committed the crime.

Thus, no matter what, | hope that you go easy on her, Your Honor."

"Although I love her and am willing to do anything for her, the fact is the fact. Upon her request, | also thought of

taking the blfor her. However, | didn't expect that my hesitation made her use such extrmethods, such

as slander and evasion of the law against me, that | couldn't accept. In the past, | was too stupid. Nobody can

defy the law! | admit my mistakes. | can provide you with the recording of our private conversation to prove the

entirety of the incident..."

Listening to Zedd's statement in the court, Lauren's eyes widened so much her eyeballs almost popped out.

Before the court proceeded, the two of them had met outside, and he even put up a pretence of greeting her

with such warm smile, and asked about her well- being!

Unexpectedly, he actually made up such a crooked story. Lauren's was completely dumbfounded. What did he

mean that pregnancy could affect a woman's mental functions? What did he mean by he taking the blfor

her? Obviously, it was her who had taken the

blfor him!

As she didn't have the right to speak, every tshe heard a sentence from him, Lauren becangrier. Zedd's

nonsense and the way he sensationalized it all caused a buzz in the audience, and she almost blew up in anger.

She clenched her fists so tightly that they cracked. Just when she was so angry, her voice suddenly rang out in

the hall.

"That's enough. Is this how you loved me?"

"Lauren, | really love you! Even if it's your fault, I'm willing to go to jail for you! As long as you ask me, I'll take all

the blame! After all, you are pregnant with my child!"

"It's good that you know! What's the point of not practicing what you preach? Let's see how you do!"

She couldn't believe her own ears. She had gotten agitated, and Lauren lost control of herself in an instant.

"It's not true! It's not true! | have never had a conversation like that with you! I haven't, | haven't! I've never

been with you in the first place. How could | say that the child is yours..."

"You're lying, you're lying!"

"Zedd, you b*stard! You lied to me, and you trickedonce again! This recording is fake!"

How had it beclike that?

What she said to him was clearly about getting her finances and real estate property back. How did it turn into

him taking the blfor her? No wonder he had said so much before! It turned out that he wanted to affirm and

define the lawsuit as her asking him to take the blfor him. She had never said that the child was his! "Your

Honor, the recording is absolutely real. You can get it verified..."

There was a bang on the table, and there was a buzz in Lauren's head. She lost control and wanted to rush over

and tear him into half!

Suddenly, the court was in a mess.

The judge slammed the gavel, but for a while he was unable to silence the out-of-control scene.

"Quiet! Defendant, please calm down! We will verify the authenticity of the evidence!"

Hearing that, Lauren was even more flustered. Since he dared to say so, could it be that he had already bribed

someone? Suddenly, her whole world was in turmoil.

"You're all working together, and you guys are teaming up to trick me! I'm the victim!"

Seeing that Lauren had lost her composure, Noah got up quickly and spoke up, "Your Honor, my client is a little

agitated. Given her status as a pregnant woman, | request a temporary adjournment!"

"Accepted! The court will be adjourned for ten minutes! If the defendant is still not calm and continues to plague

the court with nonsense, be in contempt of court, we will consider disqualifying her from the trial."

With a solemn bang of the gavel, everyone got up and left orderly. The security guards loosened their grip on

them, and Lauren just collapsed and cried loudly.

Rushing forward quickly, Willy helped her out from her seat. He was the first to reach out and hug her. "Laurie..."

Supporting her to one side of the private room, Willy hugged her in comfort, stroking her hair, and whispered:

"Don't cry! Don't cry, did you forget what | said to you? Why did you get into a panic on your own?"

"I didn't say those things! How could it end up like that?"

Sobbing, Lauren pulled on Willy's clothes, and her whole person was on the verge of falling apart completely. She

had somehow noticed a lot of the reactions from the audience and the judge. Zedd had made it seem so real

that even she would have mistaken it to be the truth!

She was pulling at her hair restlessly,

and she could not sit still. Even a recording was released, and it was indeed her voice. It also sounded like there

were background noises, like they were on a busy street. It all seemed so real that her brain was in a mess. Even

she suspected that she was being controlled by someone. She suspected if she was the one who had said those

things, but had then forgotten it!

She shook her head in a panic and held her head. Willy lowered his head and gave her a deep, lingering kiss.

After a while, Lauren finally calmed down, but she was still sniffling.

"Believe me, even if you said those things, it wouldn't change the fact that you've never done anything!"

Holding her head, Willy once again pinched her little face encouragingly. He exerted a little bit of force, which

made her clearly feel the pain, pulling back her thoughts at the stime.

"Saying and doing something are two different things! Even if you did say that, it might have just been a joke,

get it? A joke is not enough to convict you! In front of the law, evidence is the most important thing. Our

evidence has not even been revealed yet!" As his eyes met hers, Lauren suddenly seemed to have felt some

reassurance. "| really won't... go back again?"

The word "lose" was already at the tip of her tongue, but she didn't want to jinx herself, so she stopped herself

from saying it.

"Witharound, | won't let you go back in! Laurie, what you need now is to stay calm!" Willy stroked her hair

and said.

"No matter what he says or what his lawyer asks, you have to remember that you are innocent. It's fine if you

just tell the truth. If there's anything you don't know how to answer

uncertain about, then just donc are

it! In court, the less you say, the better! That's because someone will say it for you! What do you think we got a

lawyer for?"

Placing her in his embrace, Willy murmured gently to her.

"Relax, | will be by your side! No matter the situation, Noah will help you win the case. He has never lost! For the

sake of his reputation, he will not let you down! So don't be afraid, don't panic, and furthermore, don't let him

influence your emotions and have you on a leash, understand? You didn't do anything to begin with, and you

have a clear conscience! The law can't restrain an innocent person! Even though you're being put on the stage,

you have to treat yourself as an audience, and just enjoy the show! Enjoy the show, understand?"

Lauren's heart seemed to have been filled with a powerful force all of a sudden. She sniffed and nodded.

"Understood! | will just enjoy the show with my eyes, not my mouth!"

She should talk less!

Zedd was really shameless! He actually turned it around and said that she appealed to let him take the blame!

He was such a hypocrite, victimizing himself, showcasing the ugliness and shamelessness of human nature. The

twisted fact once again made her recognize him in a different light and draw a new boundary.
