Chapter 593: No Ordinary Girl

"I may not be a lawyer, but I’ve read enough to know how this court works. Thank you very much."

Daniel’s face tightened, but before he could snap back, the Prime Minister raised a hand. His sharp, aged eyes studied Nnenna in silence. For a heartbeat, no one breathed. Then, to everyone’s shock, he leaned back in his chair.

A wave of murmurs passed through the crowd.
