Pregnant I left him To His First Love by Collins Patrick

Chapter 174

"In light of new evidence that has appeared, this court hearing will be adjourned by two weeks and we will reconvene at exactly 11am," Judge Bruce slams his gavel.

"All rise," The clerk announces as he leaves and everyone begins to file out.

Trent storms out of the courtroom in fury, muttering curses and Carmela runs after him, reaching him in the corridor of the courtroom.

"Father, wait."

"You bloody fool," Trent snarls at her. "I thought you said you and that incapable bastard went through everything that they could use against us today, why didn't you know about the bloody masts?"

"I'm sorry, I thought we had it all covered, but don't worry, we will still get them, they're not going to win this," Carmela replies in a petrified tone.

Trent scoffs coldly. "I shouldn't worry?" He grabs her chin and shoves her against the wall, squeezing it painfully, his eyes cold and deadly as he narrows them at her.

"I made a fool of myself today and I don't like making a fool of myself. I've worked too hard and too long to get to where I am today for anyone to ruin it," he lets her go roughly as tears pour down Carmela's eyes but he isn't done.

"My word directly contradicted proven evidence today and if this kind of thing happens again, fingers will start pointing towards me and if that happens, it's over for you as well. You shouldn't have come to me with evidence to frame Liana if you didn't have everything covered."
