The Lockwood Group's legal team.
They were dressed in crisp black suits, their name badges flashing the logo of Northport's most elite law firm.
Rumor had it this firm had maintained a zero-loss record since its founding.
Cynthia stepped up beside her, her voice dripping with provocation. "We're already at trial, and you still haven't produced a shred of evidence. You're definitely going behind bars this time."
Seraphina's expression remained icy.
"God sees everything we do."
She lifted her gaze to meet Cynthia's. "It's still up in the air who's actually going to prison."
Cynthia scoffed.
"Only the incompetent rely on God. Today, I'm going to make sure you're destroyed."
She pointed to the lawyers behind her. "See them? They're the ones who are going to lock you up!"
Seraphina lazily raised her eyes. "Numbers don't matter. They don't dictate the judge's verdict."
With that, Seraphina turned and walked away.
Cynthia clenched her fists in fury. She absolutely despised Seraphina's condescending, holier-than-thou attitude.
She would soon teach her that acting tough meant absolutely nothing.
Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was solemn.
At the plaintiff's table, Cynthia sat next to Dominic, her eyes slightly red.
Dominic held her hand, gently rubbing her back in comfort.
Seraphina sat at the defendant's table, her gaze entirely calm.
The judge struck the gavel.
The trial commenced.
The Lockwood legal team took the floor first, their logic airtight as they methodically laid out the accusation that "Seraphina Sinclair deliberately drove her car into the plaintiff, causing a miscarriage."
Finally, the lead attorney stated with unwavering certainty, "In conclusion, the fact that the defendant, Seraphina Sinclair, committed aggravated assault is clear, and the evidence is overwhelming. We implore the court to hand down a severe sentence in accordance with the law."
The judge looked toward Seraphina. "Defendant, do you have anything to say?"

Dominic is an idiot, stupid, foolish and brainless, Cynthia is the worst kind out there always getting saved by stupid Dominic...
Cynthia needs to be dealt with, she has caused too much trouble already!...
Dominic is such a fool, he doesn't seem to be able to think for himself. He believes what other people say without question....
