“interference with witnesses outside. And the investigation is still ongoing. We have text messages and voice evidence yet to be fully analyzed.”The courtroom goes calm and quiet. Eyes were watching the chief judge. Lizzy's lawyer stood next. “Your honor, my client has no prior record. She has a stable job that she is into. She voluntarily handed over her phone and statement to the police. We propose bail with conditions: surrender of passport, weekly report to the station, and no contact with the complainant.”Lizzy was staring at the floor, her shoulders curled in. “Yes, my lord. No, my lord. Objection, my lord. My lord, she is my client; she is still innocent. Section 519, subsection 23B of the criminal code as amended made it very clear. My lord, you recall that…”Those were the domination statements and arguments that kept echoing in the court. Between Lizzy's lawyer and our lawyer concerning her bail.Anthony and James—one could see through their frustration. Only Lizzy stood

“Come in,” Barrister Julius spoke from inside.I turned the doorknob and pushed the door in. He was sitting behind his table, glancing through his laptop.“Lizzy,” he called. “Have you arrived?”“Yes, barrister,” I responded.He raised his head towards the wall clock that hung above.“You are a good timekeeper.” He spoke with a smile on his face.I couldn't say anything. But smiled faintly.“Please have a seat,” Barrister Julius said.“Thank you.” I went and sat down at the edge adjacent to him on a wooden chair. The office smelled like paper and coffee.A frame of his image was hung on the wall.Behind him was a bookshelf. With few awards on it. At the right side of the office was a small refrigerator.Without wasting time, Barrister Julius slid a file across the desk.“This is proof of evidence gathered so far. We need to discuss strategy on the way forward. That's why I seek your presence here,” Julius spoke. His eyes fixed on the file.I was just looking at the file on the table

At the federal high court. Next hearing.Sofia's POV.Donal couldn't make it to court today. His presence is highly needed in the company. Some investors will be arriving at the company. He needs to be there to welcome them.While we were driving to the court, at some point in the way I saw Lizzy standing beside a car that resembles that of her lawyer.I'm still wondering how she was able to secure a surety and even her bail money. How was she able to raise such a huge amount of money? This girl is dangerous.Philip is the one driving the Lamborghini we carried. He is so careful with the driving. One could think he is still a learner.Finally, we arrived at the court premises.Barr. Paul has arrived already.I was still inside the car when the exact car I saw Lizzy standing beside it drove in.I remain observant.The back door opened. It was Lizzy. Then the front door opened as well; it was her lawyer. I had thought, Well, Anthony and James were inside too. But they are not. But mayb

At the conference room.Donal's POV “Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you all to this solemn assembly.Before I proceed, I would like us all to put down our phones. Close your laptops; let's get to the business of the day.”“I left home yesterday because of the importance of this gathering. I have to sleep in the hotel just to meet our agreed-upon time today. I believe we got the email that I sent across.” I poured out warmly.Most of them nodded their heads. That they got the mail. Some responded verbally. Then I continued.“This gathering won't take long. I need your maximum cooperation and attention.” I paused, cleared my throat, and continued. With my pen set to put down any vital information.“Companies survive when important meetings like this are held. We look into our past performances, our shortcomings, and how to improve for better results. And long-term prosperity through strategic planning.”“Yesterday we concluded with those investors that came. The deal went well.

Lizzy's POV.“Barr, I'm not comfortable with what happened in court. What is my fate?” I asked. My eyes blinked. “Because the next sitting is to render judgement. And if I'm found guilty, that is it. From there I won't return home again.” I let out…“What is my fate, barrister? The judge was just striking out most of the evidence you brought in favor of me; she never allowed you to defend me properly. What is actually going on?”“Are you sure I won't be found guilty?” I asked and paused.“Calm your nerves," Barrister Julius poured out.“This is not the time to ask me to calm my nerves. Did you see the way Sofia was behaving in the court?”“Is Sofia the judge?” Julius asks. “I said you should calm your nerves.”“What you saw in the court was all planned.”“Remember I told you if it means meeting with the judge, I will do that. So when I say relax, believe me and relax. You don't expect me to expose everything to you.”“Keeping some information personal is one of the ethics of the law.”
