Chapter 1256
So that night, when netizens were still guessing which dirt–laden celeb did the deed, Hector posted pictures of Celeste’s freshly acquired land ownership certificate and the power of attorney documents on the internet, with captions one by one refuting the inaccuracies in Scott’s article.
“1. My client, Ms. Celeste, owns the use rights of New Garden 83. She has the necessary documents and certifications. It’s not like in Scott’s article, where Scott claims she forcefully took over the property.
- The building occupied by Morning Light Kindergarten was illegally constructed. They built a house on someone else’s land without permission and illegally processed real estate certificates. This is an act of property invasion.
- Ms. Celeste always advocates for negotiation. She never asked the kindergarten to suspend classes. She always tells me to handle things low–key, try not to disturb the children unless it comes to the point of going to court, and must follow the related procedures.
- The mortgage contract for this land was processed 15 years ago. The majority of the loan was used for company turnover and a small part for living expenses. The mortgage contract was terminated nine years ago. At that time, Celeste’s mother, Ms. Caitlyn, was still married to Mr. Campbell, and the loan was repaid by both.
- Ms. Helen of Morning Light Kindergarten is Celeste’s stepmother. This kindergarten principal was a poor student sponsored by Celeste’s mother, Caitlyn, over 20 years ago. She married Mr. Campbell a year ago, at which point the mortgage contract had already been terminated. It’s not like Scott’s article, where Scott claims she helped Mr. Campbell repay the loan.
- We contacted the injured parent an hour ago. Mercy Hospital has dispatched a specialist to assist in the transfer. We will arrange for the best doctors to offer the optimal treatment plan. Moreover, we take full responsibility for the medical expenses after the insurance claim is processed.
I hereby, on behalf of Ms. Celeste, issue a solemn statement. We will not actively demand class suspension; we will not tolerate any defamation; we will not compromise due to public opinion; after regaining the land, we will properly arrange for the students.”
Land ownership should be judged by the court, not by using internet influence to incite the public.
Hector’s post was downright righteous. Celeste was dumbfounded. She even began to question if the lawyer who previously defended Sydney Denton, finding loopholes in the text and distorting facts, was him.
She forwarded it to Liam, asking him, “Is your classmate on the right or wrong side of the law?”
Liam was not surprised at all, “He’s just like you, on the side of money.”
Celeste was speechless.
Because of his profession, Hector couldn’t be judged by his morality.
To Hector, being a lawyer was just a job, and it was neither great nor sacred. It was a means of livelihood. He served whoever paid him. He would do everything possible to help others win a lawsuit, even if the person being defended was a bad guy with a record. He believed that if he didn’t take the case, another lawyer would; if no lawyer took it, a legal aid organization would assign a lawyer.
But Mason was different; he had more empathy and compassion in his profession. He would rather uphold the justice he respected. People with strong empathy were not suitable for judicial work.
Because the law couldn’t fully restrain morality.
With Liam’s help, Hector’s statement was quickly posted by many entertainment bloggers and soon made the trending lists of various platforms.
Both sides held different opinions, but Celeste’s side was clearly more rational, presenting facts instead of Scott’s side, which lacked evidence.
