Chapter 525
Their gazes clashed in the air, neither willing to back down.
“How did you know that Celeste’s mother had a car accident seven years ago?”
Liam was very sensitive to the use of words in details.
Hector only mentioned Caitlyn being bedridden, but Mason could accurately say the specific accident and time.
He had only known Celeste for just over two months, so how did he know those details?
Instead of answering that question, Mason asked him another one.
“Do you know how Caitlyn passed away?”
Liam’s fingers trembled slightly.
This question had been bothering him since the funeral, but he hadn’t pursued it in detail.
He didn’t have much affection for Caitlyn, who was in a vegetative state and never even spoke. It was obvious that he couldn’t develop deep feelings like Celeste could.
Because he couldn’t empathize, he initially felt that Celeste was making a fuss when she asked for a divorce at the funeral.
Now that the question was once again in front of him, Liam suddenly felt a little afraid to face the truth.
Mason spoke casually. “When we went in, Ms. Caitlyn hadn’t completely lost her vital signs yet. It was Celeste who personally removed her oxygen mask.”
“She’s your woman, you should protect her for a lifetime and keep her forever young and happy. Since you can’t do that, you have no right to question.”
Without waiting for Liam to speak, Mason turned and left the courtroom.
Liam stood still, his face tense, and it took him a long time to return to his seat.
Seeing Mr. Reed return with a gloomy face, Owen didn’t dare to ask what Mr. Fletcher had just said to him.
He just whispered, “Mr. Reed, don’t worry too much. Mrs. Reed has a strong case, and Mr. Fletcher is very good at handling this kind of lawsuit. She won’t lose.”
Liam’s face was already ugly because of Mason’s provocation, and now hearing Owen praise Mason, it became even uglier
He gritted his teeth and said, “Even if it wasn’t him, she wouldn’t lose this case! I have enough money to hire the best lawyer for her!”
Owen was confused.
Why did Mr. Reed’s words sound a bit resentful?
A few minutes later, the trial continued.

This can prove that her depression diagnosis last year wasn’t caused by her mom’s situation.
Hector couldn’t provide any new evidence and was losing ground. Mason seized the opportunity and said, “Your Honor, I’d like to ask the
defendant a few questions.”
“Granted.”
