The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 158

Sebastian swallowed a lump in his throat before he uttered, “Not in recent years.”

“Hm. When did your relationship with him tum sour?”

The prosecution jumped out of her seat and exclaimed, “Objection, my Lord! The question is irrelevant!”

MI Clark explained, “My Lord, the proximity of the accused’s relationship with his son will explain the likelihood of him helping in the acquisition of assets.”

The prosecutor argued, “Mr Cummings had already denied aiding the accused in those acquisitions!”

Mr Clark counter-argued, “My Lord, it is clear that the accused and the present witness’s testimonies are i n conflict. In light of this, we must assess the credibility of their statements. The whole purpose of a cross examination is to assess the truthfulness of their assertions. The truth can only be found if we assess whether the present witness has a motive for providing the conflicting evidence.”

Judge Cook uttered, “Objection dismissed. Mr Clark may proceed with his line of questioning.”

With an arrogant smirk, Mr Clark repeated his question to Sebastian, and Sebastian answered reluctantly.” About a year ago.”

“And what is the reason for the strain in the relationship with your father?”.

“We just…stopped seeing eye to eye.”

“On what in particular? Business?”

“No, just certain…life decisions.”

Mr Clark continued smirking as he pressed on with a louder voice, which echoed through the courtroom walls, “Perhaps asking ‘what’ reason isn’t accurate. Perhaps it’s a ‘who’.”

Sebastian and Xandar knew exactly where things were going. Xandar’s arm tightened on Lucianne’s shoulder as her thumb stroked his other hand that was on his lap.

Mr Clark then asked, “Did your relationship with your father turn sour after you met the Queen-to-be, Gamma Lucianne Freesia Paw?”

The murmurs and chatters in the room were cut off with the judge silencing everyone again.

“No.” Sebastian answered.
