Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 528

Time had passed in the blink of an eye. It was the day of the trial.

Anne had tied her hair into a bun, revealing her slender neck. The exquisite makeup accentuated her features.

Kevin looked tall and handsome in his black suit. He had trimmed his beard that showed his chiseled jaw.

The couple had become the center of everyone's attention. Kevin and Anne were made for each other -- they were a match made in heaven.

Lester Chen appeared at the court. He was representing the TS Company today.

Both Anne and Kevin looked at the ambitious man. "Mr. Chen, what does the TS Company mean to you?" they queried, smiling politely.

Lester Chen arched his brow and looked at the couple. "The TS Company has helped me earn money and respect. I make a living working for the company. Without them, I wouldn't have found a platform to demonstrate my talents!"

His answer revealed how important the company was to him. Anne crossed her arms over her chest and scoffed.

"Well, in that case, I hope you do not push the TS Company into the abyss of destruction. If someone threatens you, you should call the police and let them deal with it instead of managing everything on your own."

The smile on the man's face vanished in an instant.

He wondered if Anne knew something

"Mr. Chen, you are a popular person in the apparel industry. Can't you see the obvious? Did you think that you could turn the fake designs into real ones?" Anne shook her head as a knowing smile crept onto her lips. "The eighteen designers you have stolen from us are incredibly talented. But do you think they will work for you if you threaten them? One cannot force creativity. They might be scared of you, but they won't exhibit their full potential because you have stolen their freedom."

The man's face darkened.

Many reporters had gathered around them, clicking pictures of their conversation. Lester Chen's expression revealed more information than words could. There was an intense battle between the two parties even before the trial had begun. Today's news was sure to take the internet by storm.

Lester Chen took a deep breath and finally spoke, "Mrs. Anne, don't try to destroy my reputation in front of so many people. There is no point in arguing with me now. The judge will give justice to the innocent, so wait and watch."

"Then, I wish you good luck, Mr. Chen."

Anne smiled and walked inside, holding Kevin's hand.

Lester Chen looked at the woman with his mouth hanging open in shock. She was surprised by her audacity. The woman had wished him good luck.

Did that mean they had admitted defeat? However, their confidence told otherwise. He wondered if they had any new evidence.

Lester Chen grew nervous.

He dropped his gaze to the ground and continued to walk ahead.

Finally, it was time for the trial. Everyone entered the courtroom in order. Anne and others were sitting in the dock.

"If the defendant can't provide strong evidence by today, he has to accept the judgment without any protest!" declared the judge.

Anne looked at Kevin; he held her hand, nodding reassuringly.

"We have new evidence, your honor," the lawyer said, submitting a disk.

It was a video of the design room. Anne and the other designers were in an animated discussion, preparing for the beauty pageant. Their faces were lit up with joy and expectation of the future.

The video had a clear view of the designs and had recorded their conversation as well.

Lester Chen looked at the screen in horror.

They had destroyed the surveillance cameras of the LF Group. He wondered how they had found the backup.

The footage had ruined all their plans.

"Does the plaintiff have an explanation for this?" the judge asked.

Lester Chen's face flushed with embarrassment. He was staring at the video with wide eyes.

His face had turned pale; he shook his head in disbelief. He was confident about winning the case. However, the evidence proved that the LF Group was innocent.

Anne closed her eyes and silently thanked Coral for helping her get justice for the LF Group.

"Your honor, we are going to sue the TS Company for stealing our draft and destroying the cameras of our company. In addition to that, they have hacked our confidential information and stolen the contract of our employees as well," the lawyer declared.

A commotion broke among the crowd. The TS Company had posted a lot of comments on its micro-blog site to denounce the LF Group. They were confident about suing their rival and dragging them down.

Over time, people began supporting the TS Company.

However, the video footage revealed the truth. The TS Company had indulged in fraudulent activities.

They had copied the designs of the LF Group.

The company had not only threatened the designers of the LF Group to disclose the confidential information, but had forced them to work for their concern as well.

Anne and Kevin watched the argument between the two lawyers. It was a relatively simple case. The evidence proved that the TS Company had stolen the design draft of the LF Group. Therefore, the judge declared them innocent. The TS Company had to compensate for the losses.

Anne smiled and looked at Lester Chen. Their case was a perfect example to prove that facts speak louder than words.

Numerous reporters swarmed around Anne and Kevin the moment they walked out of the court. The bodyguards of the Fu Family took their position. They expelled the crowd while ushering the couple into the car.

The LF Group didn't need any monetary compensation. They wanted the world to know that the designs belonged to them. As expected, the truth had come to light yet again.

However, considering Lester Chen's attitude, they had to make the TS Company pay the price for their crime. Otherwise, they would never repent.

Anne and Kevin decided to accept the compensation.

"Thanks to Coral. Otherwise, we wouldn't have won the case." Anne smiled at Kevin.

He nodded and let out a weary sigh. "Yeah. We can only secretly thank her. If people find out that she had helped us retrieve the footage, she would be in danger."

After all, Kim was a crazy man. He would go to any extent to harm the people he didn't like.
