A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351

"Firstly, Xander Lannings is just an employee in the tax bureau. I agree it might be possible that he could tell that there was something wrong with Starstream Group's tax return submission. But how did he manage to find out the deputy commissioner's personal account?"

"Secondly, Helen Zalenski claimed that my client made her transfer funds to Henry Lane through the account. The evidence presented showed a movement in the balance of 700,000 in one of my client's bank accounts. Yet, the bank was unable to provide video evidence of the opening of the bank account. I do not think it is a mere coincidence that the camera suddenly stopped working."

"Thirdly, Helen Zalenski said that my client was the one who instructed her to submit the tax return accordingly. But from what I know, the secretary is the one who assists with Starstream Group's electronic stamp, and signatures documented on paper do not suffice as evidence. After all, talented people abound in this vast universe. Copying another person's handwriting is not uncommon."

"To sum up, I have reasons to plead not guilty on behalf of my client!"

The three doubts that Quinn clearly stated hit the nail on the head and silenced the entire court.

Bob could not help muttering in Sam's ears, "Seriously, your wife doesn't seem so impressive but the moment she opens her mouth...bam! It's like getting hit by a train!"

Sam ignored Bob's comments, but his eyes remained fixed on Quinn, as if mesmerized.

Back in court, Xander responded in a hurry, "I know about the deputy commissioner's account status because he once asked for my help to

deposit money into his account. Because I had my suspicions, I checked his balance and found a huge sum of money in his account."

Quinn chuckled.

It was laced with thinly-veiled cynicism.

She said, "If Henry really did take a bribe of a few hundreds of thousands, him giving you his account details and asking for your help to deposit money is akin to saying to you: 'Quick, check out my account, I've been taking bribes, call the police and catch me!'"

Everyone seated in court laughed out loud at Quinn's words.

"Order!" Judge Faden reprimanded.
