The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 147

Chapter 147

When they were having dinner at a restaurant, Lucianne’s phone was suddenly bombarded with ‘breaking news’. Xandar was going to ask if everything was okay until his own phone started buzzing like his mate’s just did.

Xandar reached for her hand and held it tight as he read the first headline: Ministers’ Lawyers DENIES the Validity of Corruption Charges.

After tapping into it, the short article read: In a hearing of the charges against the ministers, the presiding judge concluded that, due to the very conflicting version of events given by the prosecution and the defence, the matter should proceed with trial for a detailed examination of evidence. Evidence had been exchanged between the parties as part of due process.

The defence, upon receiving the prosecution’s evidence, made a public statement that reliance on that particular evidence was “unjust”, “irrational” and most of all “unconstitutional”. The article didn’t mention how it was so because the lawyers were in no position to release such evidence to the public when the court had not made a final decision on the corruption case as of yet.

Xandar made an immediate call to the Attorney-General’s Chambers, enquiring about the matter. The prosecutor in charge of the case told the King that the defence lawyers argue that the audits may be fabricated since it has only surfaced very recently.

The silver lining, according to her, was the fact that they had received a court order to appoint a neutral third party tech company to analyse exactly when the audits and the rest of the documents were first created and were last modified. So, if and when the documents in Greg’s microchip get authenticated, the case will proceed in their favor.

After telling his mate about it, Lucianne gave Xandar’s hand a gentle squeeze as she said, “When the analysis comes out, they won’t be able to argue their way out of it.”

Xandar pecked a kiss on her hand before sighing, “I just hope Greg didn’t do anything to those documents t o make us look like fools.”

“Me too. But if that happens, we could ask Ellia and the others to testify. Though we’d have to enhance protection for them and their kids if it comes to that.” Lucianne said.

A smile graced Xandar’s features before he looked at her with starry eyes and
