“Your Honor, I am Mr. Bradley Warner’s attorney, Jonathan Earl. We contend that the bond between the
couple isn’t broken, and they share a son. We oppose the divorce…”
When Tanya heard the opposing lawyer’s statement, her expression subtly changed. She couldn’t
understand how the opposing lawyer could say something so ridiculous-claiming that the couple was
still together.
No wonder people said lawyers could turn black into white and death into life. For the sake of their
clients’ interests, they would distort facts and spout nonsense, which was truly
laughable and pathetic.
“Your Honor, we disagree with the opposing lawyer’s opposing counsel.” Tanya stood up, coldly
countering Jonathan. “Our evidence shows that Mr. Warner contributed to my client’s five-year
sentence while she was pregnant. Throughout that period, Mr. Warner never visited my client. He even
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttook the children my client bore and left them at a social welfare institution, with their current location
undisclosed.”
As soon as Tanya finished speaking, Jonathan interjected, “Your Honor, we disagree with the other
side’s claim.
“At the time, my client wasn’t aware that he fathered Ms. Quill’s children. He thought they were a result
of her unfaithfulness. Due to his high social standing, he had no need to engage in such behavior.
“Additionally, my client generously donates resources to the social welfare institution annually, with
regular visits from his assistant. This incident shouldn’t be grounds for their divorce.
“Your Honor, the evidence we’ve provided demonstrates that Ms. Quill endured severe depression due
to the loss of both her biological mother and adoptive father. Following the belief that a husband bears
the responsibility for his wife, my client is committed to caring for Ms. Quill. He intends to fulfill the role
of a devoted husband and provide for her lifelong well- being.”
Upon hearing Jonathan, Tanya frowned and turned to Esther. “Ms. Quill, have you experienced
depression?” she asked.
Esther blinked with surprise. She hadn’t anticipated the opposing lawyer to so boldly exploit her past
depression to oppose her divorce.
“I went through a tough childbirth. I couldn’t even see my children before they were declared stillborn.
How could I not be depressed?”
Tanya clenched her fists, determination burning inside her. If she lost this case, she’d quit being a
lawyer!
“Your Honor, the opposing counsel claims my client and Mr. Warner are still close. I’ll prove these
claims are just to win.”
Tanya held up a thick stack of evidence.
“This shows how Mr. Warner mistreated my client after her prison release. She thinks he has bipolar
disorder.”
She motioned to a screen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBradley appeared on the screen, forcefully pulling Esther’s hair and dragging her out of a venue. In the
car’s dashcam footage, he pulled her out of the car with equal force. Bradley roughly pinned Esther
down on the table in the hospital’s operating room and injected her with sedatives.
As the videos played one by one, they deeply affected everyone in the courtroom. No one had ever
thought Bradley, who always seemed composed, could be so violent and cruel.
Bradley’s lawyers responded strongly.
“Your Honor, jurors, we accept the videos. But at the time, Mr. Warner and Ms. Quill’s son’s life was in
danger. To get revenge for her prison time, Ms. Quill refused to donate her bone. marrow…”
Esther widened her eyes, glaring at Jonathan. She bit her lip hard.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
Jonathan said flatly, “Your Honor, we want to show new evidence.”
“Granted.”
Bradley’s team played an audio recording of Esther and Liliane.
In it, Esther assumed Felix was Liliane’s son and demanded Liliane kneel before saving Felix…
Hearing the voices, Esther panicked. She recognized it!
