The verdict
"Now what are you going to do?” Robin Chase glared sharply at Marcus, pressing his voice as low as possible so it wouldn't draw attention and be heard by the others.Yet clearly, Marcus knew the meaning of that gaze. He understood the meaning behind the threat in Robin's tone and look directed at him. “I will do my utmost to defend you, Sir.”The man wiped his sweat nervously, right now he no longer felt confident he could deny it. The evidence Erin's side had produced was valid, and he had no counter-arguments for it. Robin's people had claimed they disposed of all the evidence, and that day there was no alibi they could reveal to the public about where Robin had been at that time.Conversely, revealing his whereabouts beforehand would only worsen the news situation regarding Robin because at that moment he had just returned from the investigator's office regarding the embezzlement linking his name.“We must return to the courtroom now, Sir.” With a nervous and heavy voice, Marcus ge
The trial
"Miss, are you ready?” Smith turned toward her.The glasses-wearing man looked at her. For the past few days, he had prepared a lot of material for the legal proceedings they were about to undertake.Erin was the source, but to validate her statements, Smith exerted all his energy to turn them into evidence. His personal opinions could not be used for this, but as an individual who knew Robin Chase's public image, he truly felt the man was scum.Robin genuinely used his intelligence for the wrong things until that intelligence turned into cunningness. He manipulated many things for his public image, even a filthy mafia boss felt better than him.Erin drew a deep breath; her appearance was not much different from a few days ago. Her pale skin, thin body, sunken face, and tired eyes showed how hard she had been trying over the past few days.She glanced briefly at Smith and nodded. “Yes.”Smith, standing beside her, then shifted behind Erin, placing his hands on the handles of the wheel
His regret
“Did you see the patient in the orchid room?” Tom stared at the administrative staff on duty on that floor.The woman was momentarily stunned when he suddenly asked. “May I know who you are, sir?” Before answering, the woman needed to be certain.Tom’s eyebrows knitted together. “I am the one who brought her here, the patient named Kitty in a coma.”The woman immediately opened the report again and checked it. “The patient under the name of Kitty undergoing intensive care in the ICU has been transferred to another hospital–”“Which hospital?” Before the woman could finish answering, he snapped immediately, panic surfacing on his face.Right as the woman said Kitty had been transferred, his face turned pale instantly. Fear crept over him, imagining his fate teetering on the verge of ruin.“Quickly tell me where the patient was transferred!” He pressed the woman in a snapping tone.The woman looked shocked for a moment. “I’m sorry, sir, but we don't know. The guardian only signed the tr
Their Strategy
“Miss Erin.” Smith handed over the data he had prepared in a short amount of time while they were on the road earlier.Now they were in a VIP room at St. Louise Hospital, the place where Kitty had been secretly transferred so she wouldn't be tracked by Robin Chase. In that room now were only Erin, Smith, and Kitty, who was still lying down and receiving treatment. Meanwhile, Victor had left them to return to the West estate, while the three bodyguards Victor brought stood guard at the front door and the hospital corridor.The man pulled out a chair to sit, at the table, he had gathered everything on his tablet and his lit laptop screen. One by one, the information Erin provided him had been dug up and recorded as reference material. But his steps paused; he changed direction. “Miss, we will start with a civil lawsuit regarding Robin's actions toward you and Miss Kitty; we cannot start with criminal charges first. We need to do it gradually.”The media was not talking about the investi
All the Rottenness He has Hidden
“You may give your orders, Sir.” As if understanding the meaning of Derek’s gaze, Victor awaited his directives.Derek placed his phone on the desk. His gaze lifted with calm, cool composure. “Order a few bodyguards to go there.” He pushed forward his phone, its screen displaying Erin’s earlier message. “And also send a capable lawyer you know who has no ties whatsoever to the West family.”He did not want his speculations to widen; several capable lawyers were already allied with their family. Using the same lawyer would cause the public to connect certain dots. He did not want that to happen and make Jacob think that Derek wanted to return to Erin.He simply did not wish to be bothered by Jacob’s questions and have Jacob ultimately take action by introducing Derek to women the old man thought were more suitable for him. Derek did not want to spend his time on something he deemed unnecessary for himself.“Very well, Sir. I will have those men prepared right away.” He bowed his head f
Her Decision
"Stay calm, Miss.” The driver reminded Erin as he walked away from the treatment area and began handling the required administrative fees.Erin had managed to catch up to them before the ambulance arrived. When they reached the hospital, no one paid them much attention. Everyone was busy providing medical care; perhaps occasionally her appearance caused the medical staff to glance over, but they didn't care much and went back to work.Now Erin stood alone, her gaze fixed on a single object before her. “Kitty… wake up.” Her eyes welled with tears as she softly murmured that name. “What am I going to do if you're not here?” Now that sense of confusion felt so real and terrifying to her.The sound of the heart monitor's pulse beat monotonously inside the intensive care unit of the elite private hospital where Kitty had been rushed in an emergency that night. The scent of antiseptic medicine and IV fluids dominated the room, which felt so cold. Kitty lay helpless on the sickbed with her h
