When Her Death Couldn't Break Him novel Chapter 287

Chapter 287 You Would Do Anything For Money 

Cecilia forced herself to calm down. Peering from a distance, she could see that the documents. consisted of various photographs. As for what was captured in the photos, she couldn’t quite make out. 

Ernest handed her a portion of the photos, all of them from the past. They were taken when she was trying to seduce Nathaniel for the sake of getting pregnant. 

Cecilia’s mind went blank, and she clenched her fists tightly. 

She never imagined that this matter would affect her, nor did she expect that Nathaniel still had the photos. 

Vivian gave her a reassuring look, implying that at most, these photos could only convince the court that there was an emotional connection between the two. 

Among the conditions for divorce, there was one that involved domestic abuse. Nathaniel’s cold violence fit this criterion. 

Little did anyone know, in the next moment, Ernest denied any so–called cold violence by saying, 

“Your Honor, the opposing lawyer accused my client of emotional abuse. I would like to ask everyone present, how should we define emotional abuse? Is there a medical diagnosis?” 

As he spoke, he looked at Vivian. His gaze was cold and detached. It felt as if he were looking at a complete stranger. 

When Vivian met his gaze, she instinctively avoided it. 

Ernest stepped forward, “Ms. Kennedy, did you manage to obtain the hospital’s diagnosis results?” 

He was leaning in too close, causing Vivian’s breathing to become somewhat hurried. 

She trembled as she replied, “Isn’t my client’s major depression the best proof?” 

Ernest withdrew his gaze, continuing, “From what I understand, there are five main causes of depression. The first being hereditary factors, the second being health and illness–related issues, the third being medication and alcohol, the fourth being personality traits, and finally, the fifth cause being social and external factors. Ms. Kennedy, how can you be so sure that your client’s depression was caused by my client?” 

After speaking, Ernest presented further evidence. “This is the information I’ve gathered. Ms. Smith began to drink heavily two years after her marriage. Her mother, Paula, a renowned. dancer, has undergone a mental evaluation and was diagnosed with a mild mental disorder. Ms. Smith herself has been hard of hearing since birth. From this, it’s clear that Ms. Smith was suffering from depression, which relates to the first, second, and third points I made. It had nothing to do with my client.” 

Vivian never thought her ex–boyfriend could be so shameless.

She exploded in anger and yelled, “You’re just twisting the facts!”

Ernest looked at her with a detached gaze. “If you think I’m being deceitful, Ms. Kennedy, then present your evidence and prove it.” 

Vivian could no longer contain herself. “Ernest, you b*stard! You would do anything for money 

“Order! Order!” 

Due to Vivian’s sudden emotional outburst, the judge declared a temporary recess. 

Had it not been for Cecilia holding her back, Vivian would have already lunged at Ernest to tear apart his mouth that couldn’t distinguish right from wrong. 

After the court adjourned, Vivian couldn’t stop apologizing in the break room. 

“I’m sorry! It was all my fault! I genuinely didn’t expect his lawyer to be Ernest. I was completely thrown off guard.” 

Moreover, Ernest was a top–tier lawyer in Drocver, reputed to have lost only one case.
