After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Defense

Those who got involved in the case all presented themselves in the court one by one, including every staff member of Cooper Group who engaged in the contract and those financially related to the private contract.

Even Zander himself had presented to confirm every detail about his bribery.

So far, all testimony and material evidence against Martha had been presented. Commonly speaking, Martha was proven guilty of tax evasion and bribery.

Almost everyone inside the court started to believe that the case had been settled.

What was worse, Martha actually appointed Oscar to be his defense lawyer, a rookie with no experience of defense though qualified with certificate. In other’s eyes, Martha himself had already given in.

In the midst of silent air, Jesse then returned to his seat.

The judge then said to Oscar, “Now the defendant may start your statement of defense.” “Thanks, Your Honor.” Oscar stood

1. up.

Soon, everyone fixed their eyes on him. None of them seemed to believe that Oscar actually made himself the defense lawyer.

Even though he did surprise the world recently, commonly speaking, a lawsuit required a professional and experienced lawyer to handle. A lawyer only qualified by certificate was far from enough to present himself as a defense lawyer.

Most of the people started to expect him to face awkward moment.

Meanwhile, what he had done recently seemed too swaggering in other’s eyes.

Thus, the rest of the world couldn’t wait to see him being humiliated, so did Charles.

As soon as Oscar stood up, the air fell into silence for seconds.

He looked at the public gallery, seemingly looking for someone.

At this moment, Harrison appeared a bit nervous.

Though she did trust him, nervousness was still inevitable at this critical moment.

With a bit of worry, she made eye contact with him.

“Fuck, could you please stop your PDA?” Susan suddenly said to her.

Harrison recollected herself. She felt like his eyes were intoxicating.

After the eye contact, Oscar finally turned around to continue, “Your Honor, may I represent the defendant to start the statement of defense?”

As soon as he finished, the crowd couldn’t help exclaiming out of surprise.

Right after all evidence had been presented, the fact seemed obvious to all-Martha did

O

commit a crime.

None of them expected that Oscar could be shameless enough to insist on defense.

Though it was part of the duty as a lawyer, it was still incredible to see such a brazen-faced

one.

They couldn’t help wondering if he would feel humiliated after Martha’s penalty was settled

later.

“Silent!” the judge warned seriously.

Not until then did they stop mocking.

Then he started stating, “According to the informer, he reported the defendant to the authority because the defendant forced him to build with the most expensive materials, which he claimed to be a breach of the contract. However, as far as I know, Cooper Group would make direct purchase for all construction materials for every project so that the quality of construction could be guaranteed. That’s to say, only a minor part of the materials would be purchased by the contractor. The cost of ‘Huatan’ Apartment provided by contractor is 830,000,000. As I have carefully evaluated all materials provided by contractor, the cost wouldn’t be likely to go beyond three hundred million at most. In conclusion, the informer was exaggerating.”
