Chapter 312
Zoe was seething. "Someone was obviously trying to plant fake evidence to incriminate Cordy." "Even if we know that, the judge won't buy it," Quinn told her. 'Also, I met Helen Zalenski, who insisted she was just following your orders to the letter, and it's the same response to every question I had. As for your secretary Vince Cartman, he said he only approved all the documents in question with office automation because they bore your written signature. I checked, and all the original copies did have your signature-here, I've made photocopies. Could you check if you did sign them?'
Quinn passed the documents to Cordy as she spoke, and Cordy glanced at the signatures.
’The signature is mine," she said. "But I am positive that I did not sign them. ■
"In other words, someone faked your signature and had Helen send it to your secretary. He approved it via online automation since you'd already signed them, stamping and sealing them into a revenue report," Quinn concluded. "They really covered all the bases-they might have planned this fora long while."
Cordy was silent.
There was nothing to go on that could steer the case to her favor.
In fact, at this point, they had nothing to build a case for her defense.
But as the room turned silent, the doorbell rang.
Zoe quickly ran over to open the door before Cordy could speak, and she stayed silent even as John entered.
"You're finally here," Zoe was very excited. "Quinn was just talking about the case with us, but they're simply heinous. You should take a look right now."
"Yeah," John replied and walked over to Quinn and Cordy.
Quinn was going to hand him a copy of the details on Cordy's case, but Cordy promptly snatched it away from Quinn.
John's hand hung in the air as he stared at Cordy, but she said bluntly, "I'd rather not trouble you, Mr. Levine."
The atmosphere turned awkward.
Quinn and Cordy were not that close, so Quinn naturally should not speak out.
