Luis sat on the defendant's seat and Audrey sat on the defense lawyer's.
Audrey was dressed in a lawyer costume, which made her look different.
Shane and Bryson had been staring at Audrey ever since they entered the door.
Audrey turned her head to look at the audience. Bryson gave her a 'Cheer 'gesture, while she smiled
and nodded at him.
Shane was gratified to see that.
He tilted his head to Bryson and said, "Audrey looked pretty good wearing the lawyer costume. You
have a really good taste."
Bryson curled his lips into a smile. He looked at Audrey with gentle loving eyes. "Mr. Shane, thank you
for your compliment."
Shane had a worried expression on his face.
"Is Audrey confident in today's case?"
"I believe her." Confidence was written all over Bryson's face.
Shane supported his forehead and complained, "Bryson, don't show your affection in front of me. You
know, I'm only a lonely old man!"
Bryson smiled.
As they talked, two judges walked in.
When the judges walked in, both of them glanced in the direction of Shane and Bryson before declaring
the start of the court hearing.
At that begin of the hearing, it was time for the prosecution to present its case.
This was followed by a series of examinations of testimonies and evidence.
First, Kadin's lawyer brought out Doctor Don, the attending doctor of Kadin's pet dog.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKadin's lawyer asked, "Dr. Don, may I ask you a question? You are the attending doctor of Mr. Kadin's
dog, aren't you?"
Doctor Don nodded, "Yes!"
"My client, Mr. Kadin, brought his dog to your hospital for treatment. And it was you who personally
injected Mr. Kadin's dog with the shot produced by Pine Pharmaceutical Company right?"
Doctor Don nodded again.
"Yes. We have a long-term cooperation with Pine Pharmaceutical Company. The anti-viral shot used for
Mr. Kadin's dog was from Pine Pharmaceutical Company"
Kadin's lawyer nodded in satisfaction.
"Did you overdose when you injected it?"
Doctor Don denied, "No! You can check the surveillance video in our hospital. I didn't violate any
medical rules at all. The dose I used was up to the relevant standards."
As Doctor Don finished speaking, Kadin's lawyer asked someone to play the surveillance video. It
recorded the whole process of Doctor Don treating Kadin's dog in the vet's hospital.
Throughout the entire process, Dr. Don did not make any mistakes in sterilizing and injecting. The dose
was not large and Doctor Don didn't breach the medical rule.
Kadin's lawyer turned to look at the judges.
"Your honor, as you can see from the surveillance video, there's nothing wrong with the vet hospital.
After the accident, my client asked someone to examine all the drug the doctor used on his dog. It
turned out that there was something wrong with the drug the doctor used on my client's dog. There
were a lot of deadly viruses in it. That caused the sudden death of my client's dog. I got an examination
report here. Please take a look at it, Your Honor. "
The examination report was handed over to the judges.
The two judges read it and confirmed that there was indeed something wrong with Pine Pharmaceutical
Company's drug.
Doctor Lewis said, "There has never been any problem with the drug we took from Pine
Pharmaceutical Company, except this batch. Mr. Kadin's dog was the first one to have this batch of
drug."
One of the judges expressionlessly asked, "Who can prove this?"
"I have another witness who can testify against this batch of drugs," Kadin's lawyer said with a smile.
The two judges looked at each other and said, "Let the witness in."
The moment the witness stepped in, Luis's expression changed and he instantly stood up in shock.
"Edison, why are you here?"
"Many of the people in your company don't like the way you cheat consumers, so he stand out to testify
against you," Kadin mocked.
Luis felt as if the world had been over for him as he fell to his seat.
He had never expected that Edison would betray him.
If Edison helped Kadin testify against him, the result would be...
Edison calmly walked to the witness stand and then stood still.
Because of his guilt, he didn't dare to meet Luis's eyes.
Kadin's lawyer walked up to Edison and asked, "May I ask you who you are?"
Edison replied, "My name is Edison White. I am the director of the sales department of Pine
Pharmaceutical Company and I have been working in the company for a long time. I'm mainly
responsible for the sales of the company's pharmaceuticals."
Kadin's lawyer smiled and continued, "There is something wrong with this batch of antiviral drugs for
the vet hospital. Is this true?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdison nodded, "Yes."
"Do you have any evidence?"
Edison answered, "Yes!"
Edison took out papers from his pockets.
"Back then, a large amount of antiviral drugs for man that had expired were sent back to the
pharmaceutical factory for destruction. However, the chairman couldn't bear to destroy so many drugs.
So he ordered people to change the labels of this batch of drugs. After that, the drugs were sold for
curing animals. He said that although these drugs had expired, they were still effective on animals.
Here is the document signed by the chairman to change the labels."
Edison gave the document to Kadin's lawyer, who then handed it over to the judges.
The corners of Luis's mouth trembled violently. He clenched his hands tightly and looked at Edison with
hatred in his eyes.
He had worked with Edison for more than ten years, but he didn't expect that the one who stabbed him
in the back at the most critical moment was actually his colleague, who had worked with him for over
ten years.
Edison had given him some documents to sign. He trusted Edison, so he signed those without
checking the contents.
Kadin's lawyer said in a serious voice, "Your honor, Luis, Chairman of Pine Pharmaceutical Company,
changed the labels of drugs for man past their expiration dates. Because of that, my client's dog died.
The dog was a purebred Groenendael and my client treated it as his best friend. After losing it, my
client suffered a great deal. He felt distressed even when eating and sleeping. "
"Your Honor, I hope you will punish a bad businessman like the defendant severely and I claim him to
compensate my client for the moral damage of 10 million."
After Kadin's lawyer finished speaking, he sat in the plaintiff's seat.
Kadin looked at Luis with a mocking gaze. Then, his smiling eyes fell on Audrey's face.
"Defendant lawyer, what do you want to say?"
Audrey stood up calmly.
