Chapter 752

When Cody was declared not guilty and released in court, the entire room erupted in cheers.

Not only were there official media reporters present, including Sylvia and her group, but also some of Cody's friends and former colleagues who had come early due to their concern for him.

Outside the courtroom, a crowd of reporters who couldn't get inside swarmed towards Cody and Franklin.

"Mr. Wright, how do you feel about being released in court?"

"Going from a high-ranking figure to a defendant, what does that feel like?"

“Your future as the head of Larro is probably in jeopardy. How do you feel about becoming an ordinary person?"

"How do your family and friends view you now?"

The reporters fired off questions at Cody like rapid gunfire.

Franklin frowned, exuding an aura of coldness.

His powerful presence felt like an army of thousands. He stared at the reporters, his eyes filled with a chilling gaze. In a cold, unemotional tone, he said, "Please make way. My client will not be taking any interviews."

The reporters were momentarily stunned by the lack of warmth.

So icy...

So frigid...

It was only at this point that they instinctively turned to Franklin, whose face was cold as ice, as if he were covered in a layer of frost. Just one look from him sent shivers down their spines, making them feel uneasy. For a moment, no one dared to utter another word.

"Cody!"

Just then, Mrs. Wright suddenly pushed through the crowd.

She was dressed in a deep blue velvet suit, wearing low-heeled shoes. Her face had a light layer of makeup, and although she seemed carefully dressed, it couldn't hide the exhaustion and thinness on her face.

It seemed she had been going through a tough time lately.
