Audrey looked up at the bench and said, "Your honor, I have the evidence to prove the innocence of my
client."
She took out a piece of paper from the stack of materials she had prepared.
The three judges exchanged looks and nodded at her.
Audrey submitted the paper to the judge.
After reading the material, the judges exchanged looks.
And then the judge in the middle looked at Ralph Smith with a serious expression and said, "This is a
record of transfer to you from the assistant of the vice general manager of the Four Seasons Group's
Branch. What do you have to say?"
Ralph's expression instantly changed.
"That's impossible!"
The evidence was handed to Ralph. When he saw the evidence, he immediately lost his composure,
and even his legs started trembling.
"No, no..." he darted a glance at the dock in panic.
Tom frowned.
"Your honor, the witness did have received money from my client's assistant. However, it is just a loan.
It has nothing to do with this case. I also have the material, the IOU, to prove that there isn't any
transaction between the witness and my client." Harold stood up.
Ralph's eyes lit up and he quickly nodded. "Yes, yes. We are just friends. I borrowed money from him.
But that was not enough. Then, my boss gave me the money and told me to lie."
In the meantime, the evidence Harold had had also been passed to the judges.
The odds were against the plaintiff once again.
Zachery was grappling with his nerves.
Audrey stood up calmly.

"Present your witness."
When Jasmine appeared on the witness stand, Tom, who was sitting in the dock, rose to his feet with a
pale face.
The materials about Jasmine were sent to the judge.
"Ms. Jasmine, are you an employee of the Cordova Group?"
"Yes!"
"What is your relationship with the plaintiff?"
"I don't know much about him, but I know the defendant well. I am his mistress!"
Tom stared at Jasmine. After hearing Jasmine's reference to their relationship, Tom was furious.
"How dare you betray me? Bitch! You..."
"Watch your behavior! Do not affect the witness," the judge said and struck the hammer.
After being forced to sit down, he was still glaring at Jasmine, trying to intimidate her.
Audrey stood up and walked to Jasmine.
"Witness, were you there when the defendant signed the contract with my client?"
"Yes!"
"However, the defendant said that my client is in breach of contract. Do you know about that?"
"The defendant lost 50 million in casinos in Las Vegas. He was unable to pay it, so he embezzled the
project funds. To cover it up, he framed the plaintiff for breaching the contract, deducted the money
from the project, and made a profit from it."
Tom immediately stood up and said, "Your honor, this is a frame-up! A frame-up! I have never done
that."
Jasmine said calmly, "I can prove that."
Tom looked at Jasmine in disbelief.
Then, the judge had someone present Jasmine's proof.
It was a video.
In the video, Tom lit aluminum foil with some guys. There was white powder on the foil. They sniffed in
ecstasy.
Julian was next to him.
They were discussing how to deduct the project funds of the QK Architects.
Seeing this video, the audiences, judges, and the others were all shocked.
Tom's expression changed greatly.
He couldn't believe that Jasmine had this videotape.
At this time, no more proof was needed to prove that the Four Seasons Group's Branch had defaulted.
What was even more shocking and heinous was that Tom was a drug addict and he was using it with a
bunch of guys.
Harold was also stunned. He, who was always good at arguing, could not spit out a single word.
Tom pointed at Jasmine, "You wench, how dare you videotape me."
Then, he stood up from the dock and rushed towards Jasmine.
But he was stopped in time, and the entire court became chaotic.
In the summation, Audrey grasped all the main points accurately and accused the defendant of
breaching the contract.
The case was over with the judge declaring that the defendant did illicit things.
Tom was arrested on the spot for using drugs and assaulting the police.
Harold and Tom's people hurriedly left when they exited the court.
However, Zachery still hadn't recovered from his shock.
Zachery's assistant looked at him excitedly.
"Boss, boss, we won. We actually won."
These words immediately brought Zachery back to reality.
He had thought he did not stand a chance to win. He didn't expect ... a win, not to say such a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmconvincing win.
Tom was doomed, and even the successor of the Four Seasons Group, Julian, who had always been a
decent man in front of the public, was involved.
It can be said that the Four Seasons Group would be busy saving its credibility in the next few days.
Zachery looked at Audrey in disbelief. This woman was still so calm and confident as the first time he
met her.
He had no idea that this young female lawyer, whom he didn't trust at all, would actually win this
lawsuit.
"Audrey, thank you very much. I apologize for my rudeness to you."
Audrey smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter. I just did what a lawyer should do."
"It's already noon. I'll treat you to lunch." Zachery offered.
"Thanks. But I have to send the materials of today's trail back to the company."
Audrey tactfully refused.
"It won't take long. And..."
"Thank you, Mr. Zachery. Company's rule. Please don't make things difficult for me."
"Alright then." Zachery could only let her go.
Sitting on the backseat of a taxi, Audrey let out a long sigh of relief and put on a smile.
She won this lawsuit as expected.
Just when she was about to report this to her company, her phone rang.
It was a text.
She checked it. It was from Bryson.
The message was very simple. There was only one word: Congratulations!
Seeing that, Audrey felt her heart was touched.
She had never thought that he would pay attention to her case.
"Thank you," Audrey replied.
Bryson gave a quick reply. "You're welcome. You deserve it."
'You deserve it.'
It was the best compliment that Audrey had ever received.
