Chapter 98 Solid Evidence

Just as Russell was about to speak, Dominic walked into the courtroom.

“Sorry I’m late.”

He looked indifferent, like nothing had happened, just as you’d expect from Dominic. Just minutes ago, he’d been stuck and humiliated outside the women’s restroom, losing his temper at Tilda. And yet, here in the courtroom, he stayed composed and dignified. He didn’t even glance at Tilda.

Tilda smiled coldly. She had expected this. But, Dominic, will you stay so calm for what’s next? She couldn’t wait to see his reaction.

Andy couldn’t hold back a chuckle.

“What are you laughing at?” Rose noticed and asked in a cold voice. Her gut told her Dominic being late this time had something to do with Andy and Tilda.

Andy shrugged and said nothing. He then thought of something funny again and laughed.

Rose didn’t say anything, but her anger flared up. She clenched her fists tightly. Andy! How dare he look down on me? This time, I’m going to make him pay!

The trial officially began. The judge announced the plaintiff’s case. The defendant was to speak first. Rose immediately went on the offensive. She laid out a stack of theories, data, and evidence to prove Russell’s innocence. She also fired off a few sharp, critical questions at Tilda, hoping to make her slip up and find a key to turn the case around.

But Tilda remained calm. Her answers were flawless. She didn’t act like a 19-year-old girl at all. She was more like a queen hardened by countless battles, so calm it was frightening. Rose’s carefully prepared questions had no effect on Tilda.

Even Russell and Dominic couldn’t help but look at Tilda more closely. They had stayed up all night preparing these sharp questions. They never expected Tilda to handle them so well. Her reaction far exceeded their expectations. Even though Andy had prepared Tilda for all the possible questions Rose might ask, her confident, unshakable demeanor was a lot like that of a Jenson.

But! Their hatred for her would not change! Because this time, Tilda had turned against her own family–the Jensons! What was there to admire about a betrayer? The Jensons just wished they could remove her from the family tree!

Rose didn’t get what she wanted from Tilda. A flash of frustration crossed her eyes. She ended her questioning.

Meanwhile, Andy hadn’t said a single word. He even lazily yawned. He couldn’t care less about the Jensons or Rose. This extreme contempt made Rose grind her teeth in anger.

She glared at Andy, her voice filled with fury as she forced the words through her clenched jaw: “It’s your turn, Mr. Saville!”

The lawsuit itself was nothing big. Without solid evidence, Andy had no chance of winning against Rose. The Jensons had already prepared for every possible question that Andy might ask Russell. If Tilda could handle Rose’s questions flawlessly, Russell could definitely do the same.

Still… Even as Rose fumed, she felt nervous. In every past case, Andy always acted confident, like winning was already guaranteed… No matter how bad the odds, he somehow always managed to turn things around. But in these few lawsuits, Rose had never felt such contempt from him. Even in the smallest lawsuit, Andy would never be this relaxed when facing Rose.

Unless… Andy had already found the winning move. What could it be?

Before Rose could think more, Andy was already speaking to the judge. “Your Honor, before I officially speak for my client, I’d like to show a few videos to everyone.”

Videos?

The judge naturally allowed Andy’s request. As the video played on the screen, Russell suddenly jumped to his feet. His face was full of disbelief. The video was obviously the cafeteria’s surveillance footage, along with videos recorded on students’ phones.

“No way! This is clearly…”

Russell was so worked up that he almost blurted something out.

“Mr. Jenson!” Rose immediately shouted, stopping Russell from making a huge mistake.

All court proceedings are recorded. Every word could jeopardize Russell’s case.

Russell immediately shut his mouth. His face turned ashen, lips twitching. The video clearly showed Russell’s ugly face as he cursed at Tilda and Una. It also showed the food scattered all over the floor, along with the conversation they were having at the time. The other video was the cafeteria’s surveillance footage.
