Chapter 391 Will definitely be a good wife
The life-saving straw that she had painstakingly brought to Mrs. Riddle was just ruined by Selena's cup of water.
Leah looked at Bison lying on the hospital bed, and she trembled with anger.
The secretary at the side looked at her gloomy face and cautiously asked, "Lady Leah, what should we do now?"
Leah clenched her fists, and there was a grim look in her eyes.
Bison is an undefeated myth in the legal profession and has never lost a case. When she contacted him, he even assured her with conviction that the case would be won.
It can be said that Bison is her trump card to win Selena.
But now, this trump card has been nullified by Selena.
Even if she had requested a delay in the trial on the pretext of not having a lawyer, Selena was already prepared for the fact that next time she feared she would never be able to hire such a good lawyer again.
Selena, on the other hand, was able to borrow the power of his boyfriend and the Riddle family in the capital to hire the best lawyers.
Rather than be crushed then, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity.
Anyway, she still has her cards.
Leah spoke in a light tone, "Didn't Bison bring other lawyers from his law firm with him this time? Let them come forward and help my mum with her lawsuit."
The assistant rushed off to do it.
...
The one hour break passed quickly.
Selena stepped out of the lounge on her high heels and seemed to have taken a nap, sitting back at the plaintiff's table with a wan expression.
At the defendant's table, however, Bison was not present, and a strange lawyer took his place, saying to the crowd, "Mr. Reynolds is too seriously injured to appear in court for the time being, after which I will take the place of the defendant and continue the defence."
At these words, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched and they looked at Selena with more worship in their eyes.
It's amazing that she smashed the undefeated myth of lawyering right into retirement with just a glass of water, which is a great feat.
Selena crossed her long legs and looked at the new lawyer across the table, the corners of her lips curled up in a bit of coldness, "Oh, I'm really sorry then, I was too scared and hit a bit harder. If Mr. Reynolds is angry, he is always welcome to sue me."
The lawyer's spine burst into cold sweat at her playful, cold look, and when he thought of Bison lying in a hospital bed, his reputation in tatters, he subconsciously took a step back, wanting to stay away from Selena.
In case she did it again, he may be the next unlucky one.
Selena has a history of depression and cannot be pursued, and Bison irritated her in the first place, so he can only swallow this loss.
When Leah saw this scene, her face was crooked with anger.
Selena raised her chin towards that lawyer with a smile, "Ask your questions."
That lawyer stood furthest away from her, although a bit intimidated, but fighting the lawsuit, but not in vain, only the words than Bison, a lot more restrained, "Lady Selena, we know that mentioning those things may make you feel bad, but it is about the final sentencing, and whether you can match the witnesses' statements, please make sure you think clearly and answer properly."
Selena snorted and swept her eyes at the group of punks on the witness stand, who were looking at her with fearful faces, "Then why don't you go and ask them? As paid abusers, their words are more convincing than mine, a drugged party, aren't they?"
The lawyer could barely resist the urge to burst into foul language.
Sure enough, the moment Selena looked over, those few punks frantically started shaking their heads in denial.
"We didn't."
"We definitely didn't touch Lady Selena."
"We took money from the Riddle family and were trying to destroy her, but before we could get our hands on her, she was saved. We definitely didn't touch her."
The corners of Selena's lips curved.
At the same time, she was curious as to how Osvaldo had taught this group of scum a lesson, and how he could make a group of sinister and cunning scoundrels fear her like this.
The lawyer's face was a bit pale. This group of people had bitten the crime of Molly, but they had cleared Selena's name, they could not find any loophole to help Molly reverse the case.
The lawyer stared into Selena's eyes and asked again sharply, "Then Lady Selena, after you were saved, how did you resolve the drug in your body?"
Selena's gaze took on an extra cold, dark light as she asked arrogantly, "What does this have to do with the case?"
"Of course." The lawyer thought he had finally caught a loophole, and there was more confidence in his eyes, "According to the defendant you accused me of, she had someone drug your wine at the time, and it is reasonable to say that a normal person who is drunk and drugged could not possibly remain sober, let alone escape from the hotel surrounded by so many people. Especially in the end, according to your own words, Lady Selena, you didn't even have sex with anyone. Doesn't everyone think that's very strange?"
Selena lowered her eyelashes, a strange emotion appearing in her eyes.
On the bench, the judges looked at each other and agreed with this statement.
This was indeed a doubt, Selena was just an ordinary girl, in a drunken and drugged situation, where was she capable of escaping from the hotel under the malicious ring of these big and strong men?
The judge at the head of the court banged his gavel, "The defendant's charge is sustained, the plaintiff will answer this question."
Selena's fingers brushed across her brow, a hint of sadness faintly in the corner of her eyes, but she still did not speak.
When she didn't say anything, the lawyer immediately took advantage of the situation, "Your Honour, given the plaintiff's reticence, I have reason to suspect that there is an inside job in this case, that perhaps, everything is a conspiracy by the plaintiff, that she deliberately provoked my defence to set her up, that she didn't have drugged at all, that she wasn't drunk, that she just deliberately showed weakness and pretended to be hurt in order to set up my defence."
Leia slapped the table in anger, "Bullshit."
There was a stir in the audience.
The lawyer's mouth, with its natural ability to turn black and white, turns out to be really no joke.
Dominic subconsciously wanted to stand up and defend Selena. He could stand by and watch other things, but only this matter, he could almost conclude that it was definitely not like this.
Because at that time, Selena was so eager to marry her.
He can still remember the night before his wedding when she wore her snow-white wedding dress, her eyes as clean and bright as stars, and told him joyfully and longingly that she would be a good wife in the future.
He grew up with Selena and knew better than anyone else that Selena did not have such a deep and vicious heart. After that video of Angie framing her came to light, Dominic knew even better what a clean and timid girl the previous Selena was.
As he was just about to stand up, Leah grabbed his sleeve, her eyes looking at him with pleading, tears streaming down her face, "Dominic, are you really going to be so cruel as to destroy my mother's last hope?"
