Chapter 22

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.

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.

She had refused to meet Ben for the past few days. But he still hired a lawyer for her.

It was time for her lawyer’s turn to speak.

“Your Honor, we have relevant evidence. We believe that the security footage presented by the plaintiff was edited. We present the complete security footage provided by the police.”
