Viral Trial: They Say I Stole My Own Son のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

"Harry, you took my son back then, and now you're refusing to admit it! I'm telling you, he's our biological child. You're nothing but a thief. You have no right to be his father. You're going to lose this case today!" Zack Wilson shouted, glaring at me viciously.My ex-wife, Katherine Johnson, gave me a mocking smile. "Harry Miller, you're the one who pursued me back then. I stopped loving you a long time ago. I never imagined you would sink so low as to kidnap my son. Give him back. When the truth comes out, how do you plan to survive with that kind of reputation?"All eyes in the courtroom turned to me.I remained expressionless. "I've said it before. Wade is not your son."20 years ago, I had been married to Katherine for barely six months when she cheated on me with her childhood sweetheart, Zack. Under the pretext of a class reunion, the two of them went on a trip to Emeraldia together. They vanished without a trace and never came back.I went from being a newlywed to a wido

Katherine's cheeks flushed with fury. "Harry, you're still denying it even now! Since you never remarried and can't have children, where did this child come from?"Zack fixed me with a furious stare, then pulled a voice recorder from his bag and pressed play right there in court. "Your Honor, hear this from Harry's own relative."The device sputtered for a few seconds before a hoarse male voice came through. "Harry's son? He took him. The child was born after Katherine's divorce. Harry even registered him as his own, thinking nobody would ever discover the truth."When the playback stopped, Zack gave a sneer. "Harry, what do you have to say now?"I drew a slow breath, forcing my temper under control.They clearly believed that 20 years had erased everything and that they could rewrite history. Unfortunately for them, their plan was destined to fail.I met their eyes calmly. "Wade's custody is mine. Nothing you've presented today proves I 'kidnapped' him. A single witness carries

I looked at the judge and calmly said, "Your Honor, I request to summon my second witness, Cody Wilson."The judge immediately approved my request.A small, limping boy shuffled in from the courtroom's side door. He was dressed in tattered clothes, and he looked shorter than an average middle schooler.I pointed at him and said lightly, "Zack, Katherine, isn't it your son you want? This is your real child."Both of them froze. Zack shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! Harry, you're lying! My son is a tall, handsome detective in the police force! He's not a dog, and he's certainly not this boy in front of us!"I scoffed. "Zack, how are you still so out of the loop? Police dogs have official ranks too. The badge I posted online belongs to my dog. You were the one who was eager to claim him as your son, so don't blame me."Zack's face turned pale, and he shook his head in disbelief. Katherine realized what was happening and screamed, "Harry, are you insane? You brought a dog to tric

Esme, who had been so sure she had witnessed me taking the child, went silent in the midst of the commotion. "I-I…" she stammered.The livestream viewers didn't even wait for her to finish and immediately began questioning things."Even if Wade turned out to be a dog, it doesn't change that their son has had a terrible life.""Harry just proved Wade isn't human. That doesn't mean he didn't kidnap the kid."As the viewers began questioning me, Zack jumped in defensively. "Right! Harry definitely abused my son!" He scrunched his nose in disgust and called to Cody, "Speak up, Cody! Did Harry hit you?" Cody parted his lips, but no sound came out.I let out a long sigh as I looked at Zack, who was still trying to defame me. "If that's the case, then it's time the truth from back then comes to light," I said evenly.Zack's eyes widened in shock, and his voice cracked. "Harry, what are you doing?"Katherine realized something was wrong and tried to intervene, but I had already co
