Chapter 521
Owen suddenly felt some sympathy for his boss.
Liam’s expression was indeed gloomy, but not only because he was shocked to learn that Celeste was Celestial Haze but also because Celeste’s proxy lawyer was Mason
There are many famous lawyers in J City, and even if Celeste wanted to find someone to sue, she couldn’t have just happened to find Mason, who had just returned to the country.
Liam stared at the person on the plaintiff’s bench. He didn’t believe that there could be so many coincidences in the world
The court assistant read out the court rules, but Celeste didn’t pay much attention
When she entered the courtroom and saw Liam earlier, her heart kept sinking.
Liam had suddenly made a warning call last night. He must have known about this lawsuit, just not that she was the plaintiff
So who was he here for? The answer was obvious.
A few days ago, Mason had found out through someone the information about the girl named Hanson sitting on the defendant’s bench; from her birthplace to her life experiences, everything was clear.
She had always thought that Sydney could never have registered an account with a stranger’s identity
As expected, Hanson was Sydney’s cousin, and the two had grown up together and were very close.
Today’s goal was not only to win the lawsuit but also to try to get some information from Hanson and involve Sydney as well.
Liam didn’t know she was the plaintiff, so the only reason he could be here was for the defendant.
On one hand, he was transferring money to her, and on the other, he was standing up for his little lover. Liam was such a two–timert
As the court rules were read, the trial officially began.
Mason displayed the collected evidence on the big screen while explaining the corresponding evidence.
Most of the evidence was the insults and slander from those accounts toward Celestial Haze.
Their choice of words was so malicious that it was beyond people’s moral cognition.
Mason said. “The defendant has been using the internet as a cover to relentlessly insult and attack my client, committing cyber violence. In July 20XX, my chent couldn’t bear it anymore and had an emotional breakdown, taking an excessive amount of sleeping pills. She was later diagnosed as being in a depressive state.”
Liam clenched his hands, staring intently at the diagnosis on the screen.
This was the first time he had seen this diagnosis, and Celeste had never mentioned it to him.
What happened in July last year?
Liam quickly searched his memory and finally remembered that July last year was when they had the most intense argument.
At that time, they’d been married for over two years and still didn’t have kids. Everything had been going great, but for some reason, Celeste suddenly got a bit neurotic and obsessed with having a baby Sometimes he’d come home late after a busy day, hoping to chill with her for a bitt but shed be calculating her cycle and dragging him into the bedroom to try and get pregnant
Before this, Celeste hadn’t shown any signs of being in a hurry to have kids, so this sudden change really threw him for a loop.
He felt that if they were going to have kids in the future, it should be when both of them were physically and mentally ready. A baby isn’t just a byproduct of a couple’s fun, it’s a new life parents have to take responsibility for
