Chapter 22 I’ll Grant Your Wish

Jean was detained for three whole days. She never met Ben during that time.

On the fourth morning, a car from the court came for her, bringing her to court.

The Reece family refused to withdraw their charges.

On the plaintiff’s side, none of the Reece family members attended the trial. Their first-rate lawyer presented Jean’s charges.

“Your Honor, the defendant has verbally abused my client multiple times. The defendant has the intention of hurting my client. From a subjective viewpoint, she has the motive for murder. From an objective viewpoint, she has hurt a person. Either way, the defendant is, without a doubt, guilty.”

Jean laughed inwardly. What a lawyer, able to twist nonsense into the truth.

Ben yelled from the audience, “Don’t worry, Jean!”

She felt touched and nodded her head.
