A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 136

A small pause.

“…I think it’s time he meets Rose.”

I nodded.

Once.

Firm.

We reached the entrance.

The doors opened-

And just like that-

The noise was gone.

Replaced by something heavier.

Quieter.

More dangerous.

The courtroom.

I stepped inside-

And immediately-

I saw her.

Jason’s ex.

Seated confidently.

A smile on her lips-

Sharp.

Victorious.

As if the outcome was already decided.

My expression didn’t change.

But I felt Jason beside me-

Still.

Cold.

We walked forward.

Toward the front.

Toward our place.

And that’s when-

Something shifted.

Marcus didn’t follow.

I turned slightly-

Just enough to see.

He walked past us.

Not toward the defense table.

But toward the audience.

And sat.

The room reacted instantly.

Murmurs rising.

Confused.

Sharp.

Jason’s gaze flickered.

Pamela didn’t react.

Didn’t question, she knew i would defend myself.

This was planned.

I slowly faced forward again.

A small smile forming.

One down 1

The courtroom Settled.

Heavy.

Expectant.

The judge entered-

Authority filling the room instantly.

“Court is now in session.”

We stood.

Then sat.

And just like that-

It began.

The judge adjusted his glasses-

Looking directly at me.

“Ms. Asher.”

A pause.

“Where is your legal representation?”

Murmurs spread immediately.

Curious.

Judging.

Waiting.

I didn’t hesitate.

“I will be representing myself, Your Honor.”

Silence.

Sharp.

Immediate.

Then-

The reaction.

Whispers.

Surprise.

Disbelief.

Across the room-

Victoria smiled.

Slow.

Satisfied.

She leaned forward slightly.

“Of course she is.”

Her voice carried just enough to be heard.

“Only someone guilty would be unable to secure a lawyer.”

A few nods.

Some agreement.

Exactly what she wanted.

I turned my head-

Meeting her gaze.

Unmoved.

“Or,” I replied calmly,

“someone innocent who has nothing to fear.”

Silence.

Again.

But this time-

Different.

Not dismissive.

Curious.

Victoria’s smile faltered-

Just slightly.

The judge cleared his throat.

“Proceed.”

Victoria stood.

Confident.

Prepared.

Her heels echoed softly against the floor as she moved.

“Your Honor,” she began smoothly,

This case is quite simple.”

A pause.

“Ms. Amber Asher abused her position of power.”

Murmurs.

Again.

“She created a hostile work environment-”

Her gaze flicked toward Amelie.

Positioning her.

Using her.

“Specifically targeting my client, Ms. Amelie White.”

Amelie lowered her gaze-

Perfectly.

Fragile.

Controlled.

Victoria continued.

“Ms. Asher, acting as a superior, repeatedly humiliated Ms. Vinni.”

“Ordered her around excessively.”

“Created unrealistic expectations-”

A slight tilt of her head.

“-and then publicly exposed her when she inevitably failed.”

Gasps.

Soft.

Sympathetic.

Exactly as intended.

“She didn’t just fail her professionally,” Victoria added.

“She destroyed her reputation.”

A pause.

“With calculated cruelty.”

I watched her.

Carefully.

Because this

This wasn’t truth.

It was a performance.

A narrative.

Crafted.

Manipulated.

Designed to make me look like a villain.

Victoria turned toward the judge again.

“My client was left with no choice but to endure-”

“Until the damage became irreversible.”

A beat.

“And now, Ms. Asher stands here-”

She glanced at me.

Cold.

“Attempting to dismiss it all as nothing.”

Silence filled the room.

Heavy.

Waiting.

But I didn’t react.

Didn’t interrupt.

Didn’t defend myself.
