A Wound that Never Heals

Chapter 153

Chapter 153 We Have Sufficient Evidence

Because it was a divorce lawsuit, to avoid suspicion for the time being, Gustave did not sit at the plaintiff’s seat with Darlene.

Apart from Gustave, Aleena also came with Darlene.

Avery and the lawyer took their seats at the court first. Aleena saw that Darlene looked uneasy and was worried that she would be nervous. Aleena grabbed Darlene’s hand to cheer her up.

“Relax, Mr. Walpole has arranged all the evidence for you and listed the evidence list. If you forgot something for a moment, just look at the list. Hank has also made ample preparations and will help you defend.‘

Gustave did not say much and only comforted, “Let it be. There is no problem. Everything will be fine.”

Darlene nodded and grabbed the document in her hand. “I am fine. Don’t worry.”

Darlene and Hank went to the trial seats together. Sitting opposite them were Avery and his defense lawyer, Malcolm Reece.

Since Malcolm was chosen by Avery, he was naturally a top lawyer in the industry. At this moment, Malcolm’s face was filled with an expression of victory.

It was obvious that Malcolm was not stressed about this lawsuit. The only pressure came from Gustave from the public gallery.

However, since Gustave was sitting below the stage, he had no right to speak and participate in the entire trial.

Darlene’s hands were resting on her legs, and she subconsciously clenched her fingers

tightly.

Whenever Darlene raised her head, she would be able to meet Avery’s eyes that were staring straight at her.

The humbleness that she had been accustomed to for ten years and her obedience towards Avery still made it difficult for Darlene to calmly oppose Avery in court even
