Chapter 316 He Insisted on Asking for the Result
“For the past half a month, Terry has been under the control of the police. He has no ability to prepare so many things. Lachlan is also an old fox. Ordinary people can’t plot against him.”
Who exactly was it that wanted Lyra to be convicted so badly? Alma? Hank’s face darkened again. It couldn’t be her. She was not so meticulous. Then there was only one possibility left. No lawyer was willing to defend Lyra. This was something she had long expected. After all, no one would be willing to play a sure-to-lose game. Three days later, the court officially launched a court hearing. As Alma was a public figure, the case took a semi-public approach. When Lyra walked into the court, many people began to point at her angrily and scold her. “It’s really vicious to lay a hand on such a young child!” “You don’t deserve to be a human!”
Alma wore a pair of black sunglasses and sat on the seat. She pushed up her glasses, looking as if she had been wronged and injured. However, Hank did not accompany her to the seats, and neither was Kensley family. Lyra sat down opposite her. She clearly heard Alma complain to the judge about her ‘crime’. “She is my husband’s ex-wife. She has always been jealous of our relationship. After | was pregnant, she went to my house and the hospital several times to harass me. I have videos as evidence. It is because of her that I suffered from depression after giving birth.” “Before I gave birth, I also lived in the psychiatric department. All of this can be proven.” The judge accepted the evidence she submitted and asked Lyra, “Defendant, you don’t have a defense lawyer. You can defend yourself. What do you have to say?” The court was silent.
Alma lifted her eyes and looked at Lyra. At that moment, her lips revealed a faint smile.
She would win. Like before, she would personally send Lyra to jail!
Lyra never spoke, and the judge spoke again, “Defendant, can you hear what I said?”.
“Your Honor, just sentence her to jail!” “Yes, people like her do not have the right to defend themselves. Only when she goes to jail can we ensure the peace and harmony of society.” There was a burst of noise in the court, and the emotion of the crowd was stirred up. One by one, they pointed at Lyra excitedly and kept shouting. “Silence.”
The judge shouted several times, but it was still useless. In the end, they had to temporarily pause, and two days later, she would be sentenced. When they walked out of the court, Lyra was alone. She saw Alma surrounded by a group of people. “Don’t be afraid. That kind of woman will definitely be punished by the law.” “Is your baby okay?” Even passers-by would feel that Alma was particularly worthy of sympathy now. Lyra watched from afar and turned to walk out from the corridor on the side. Suddenly, a figure approached her. Before she could react, he had already pulled her to a corner behind the wall.
“Let go.”
Hank stared at her face and said in a deep voice, “I knew you would secretly go this way.” Lyra pursed her lips and kept silent. Her hands kept struggling. But she could not break free from Hank’s strength. “What did the judge say? Is the court suspended?” He looked as if he had expected this.
Lyra looked at him in surprise. Her eyes flickered with doubt, but even if Hank was powerful, he could not control the court.
“The evidence provided by Alma can’t be counted as evidence. The biggest problem lies with you, but you can’t admit it immediately. You must wait for public opinion to continue to grow. That is the best time to settle the case.” He actually guessed this? Lyra immediately perked up and shook her head. “I don’t know what you mean!” “Why do you want to protect Alma?” His eyes had already seen through everything. Other than Lyra, no one else could calculate the entire matter so accurately. It was just that he did not understand why Lyra wanted to help Alma.
“There are still a lot of reporters outside. If I shout, you know what will happen.” Hank said with a deep voice. She looked at the man and chuckled.
