At court…
The jury was assembled.
Many Callahans were also present.
At that moment, a court staff walked in and addressed the crowd apologetically, “I’m sorry. Mr. Youngblood has withdrawn his case. He said it was all a misunderstanding and that James did not rape his daughter. James, the accused, has been acquitted.”
“What?”
The Callahans stood up in disapproval.
Gladys immediately cried out, “What the hell? The evidence is irrefutable. What do you mean by acquitted? Hurry and call for a trial! I want James to rot in prison!”
The court staff ignored her and walked away after the announcement.
The Callahans left with bewildered looks on their faces.
Quincy and Scarlett heaved a sigh of relief.
Quincy looked at Scarlett with a bright smile and said, “Looks like he has dealt with the problem.”
“Yes.” Scarlett nodded, returning her smile. “Alright, we should return now.”
James was acquitted of his charges.
He left the court.
Outside, he spotted the Callahans.
He walked over to them with a bright smile. “Thea, I told you I was innocent. The police have looked into the matter. Everything’s fine now. Let’s go home.”
In contrast to his expectations, Thea’s expression only grew more distant.
She was hoping that James would be convicted so that she could divorce him and marry the Black Dragon. Now that he was acquitted, what excuse would she have?
“You rapist! You’re no longer my son-in-law. Get out of my sight! Thea’s filing for a divorce. We’ll see you in court.” Glady’s face darkened. James was supposed to be behind bars, but here he was strutting out of court like a free man.
If only she had the Black Dragon as her son-in-law, she would be able to hold her head high in public.
Tommy walked over to James and shot him a disgruntled look. He then sneered nastily, “James, you just aren’t worthy of Thea anymore. Do you know who she is now? She’s now replaced Jay Fallon as the Asclepius of Cansington. Hundreds of doctors pleaded for her to accept them as her disciple. Have a good look in the mirror, trash!”
James knew Thea wanted to divorce him.
However, he thought it was only because she thought he was a rapist.
Now that the problem was solved, Thea should have had no reason to divorce him.
“Thea?”
He looked at Thea.
Thea bit her lips indecisively.
She was at a loss.
