Chapter 367 Ormand Is Jealous
Viola lowered her eyes, her expression was cold, and she did not say a word.
The plaintiff's lawyer raised his hand and continued, "The defendant did not refute because she felt guilty, she shot Carlos that day. Your Honor, I suggest detaining the defendant first..."
The lawyer was making a reasonable accusation against Viola when the assistant lawyer who was recording on her laptop suddenly received an email.
The assistant lawyer opened the email and looked at the first two lines. She looked shocked, and she quickly turned the computer in front of Cristina.
Cristina read the email seriously. The more she read, the more her eyes turned red. she sobbed so hard that she couldn't control herself. She lost control of her emotions for a while.
The assistant lawyer had no choice but to interrupt the trial, "I'm sorry, Your Honor, my client's mood has collapsed, so she needs another adjournment."
The McGraw family's legal team was just about to take out their trump card of Jerry's real identity after the plaintiff's lawyer finished speaking. And they wanted to use the evidence of Viola's legitimate self-defense as a counter-attack.
All of a sudden, another adjournment was given, and everyone was dumbfounded.
But during this period of adjournment, Cristina suddenly withdrew her appeal without warning.
It seemed that Cristina had admitted defeat in the battle of judgment.
Viola was puzzled. Before the second adjournment, she saw Cristina looking at the laptop with a sorrowful expression. So what was written on the laptop?
Or was it because it was a royal scandal, after all, so Cristina ultimately chose to back down?
Russell held Viola's shoulders and took her out of the court.
When they arrived at the court hall, Cristina, Miguel, and the others walked out from the other side.
The two sides faced each other.
Cristina glared at Viola without hiding the disgust in her eyes.
"Viola, you can still walk out without being handcuffed and taken away as a criminal suspect because of Jerry. If not for him, I would never have let you go."
Because of Jerry?
Viola was confused.
Cristina coldly snorted and turned to leave without giving Viola a chance to ask questions.
Russell patted Viola's shoulder and said, "Viola, don't think too
much. In short, the matter is settled."
Viola nodded.
When she came out of the courtroom, Viola saw the man leaning against the luxury car. That familiar handsome figure made her feel as if it had found a place to belong in an instant.
It was Ormand.
Viola immediately trotted up. Her little hands passed through Ormand's open black coat, and she hugged Ormand's strong waist while feeling Ormand's warm body.
"When did you wake up? Are you still uncomfortable? While Bentley is still in Salt Lake City, I will let him clear your illness."
As soon as they met, Ormand rubbed Viola's head in satisfaction. He wrapped Viola's slender body in his coat and hugged Viola tightly.
"Maybe I woke up when you went to court. Don't worry. Bentley's medical skills are so good that I will be cured."
The worry in Viola's heart eased a bit.
Ormand leaned close to Viola's ear and whispered mysteriously, "Viola, I want to take you somewhere."
"Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there." Ormand's voice was gentle.
Ormand opened the car door, picked Viola up, and carefully sent her to the car seat.
Ormand then turned around and said to Russell and Bentley, "Guys, I'll borrow your sister for a while. It's almost the new year. I'll formally thank you on the day before the new year."
Russell had an understanding expression as he waved his hand impatiently. "Hurry up and leave. Don't show off your affection here."
Bentley was expressionless and did not answer. His gaze was faint.
Todd started the engine. And he waved at Tanya standing behind Bentley and Russell.
Tanya immediately happily went to open the door of the passenger seat. She consciously sat in and smiled happily.
As soon as their car left, in front of the court, Bentley stared at the luxury car that drove away with displeasure, and he scolded coldly, "Borrow? I don't think he will return our sister to US."
Russell chuckled, "Come on. You are not moral at all. Why didn't you say it in front of Ormand?"
Bentley gave Russell a cold look and said, "Go find your girlfriend."
With that, Bentley turned and left.
Russell looked at Bentley's back and sighed helplessly. He only dared say in a low voice, "You have such a temper. No wonder you couldn't find a wife for so many years."

Todd drove all the way to the private airport.
Viola looked at the airport building and did not understand. "Orin, why did you bring me here?"
Ormand smiled and did not explain. He took the initiative to hold Viola's little hand, clasped his fingers with Viola's, and took Viola to the airport building.
Tanya was silly. Just as she was about to follow Ormand and Viola out of the car, she was held down by Todd. Todd shook his head gently at Tanya. And the latter understood immediately and sat in the car with him obediently.
Ormand pulled Viola up to the fourth floor.
"Viola, look." Ormand pointed outside through the glass.
Viola followed the direction Ormand pointed and looked over with a puzzled expression. Through the glass, she saw a figure walking up the stairs in front of Ormand's private plane.
This figure was so familiar. Viola was wondering what the figure looked like...
Her eyes turned red as she stared at the figure in disbelief.
The figure walked up to the highest step and slowly turned around. And he stood outside the cabin and raised his arm to wave in Viola's direction.
Although they were quite far away, Viola could see the doting smile in the man's azure beautiful eyes, as if he was bidding Viola farewell silently.
