Chapter 1938 Are You Serious
Still, what difference would it make?
It seemed those people had forgotten what she used to do.
Elisa's knuckles gently rapped on the table, a hint of scorn playing at the corners of her mouth. “You all might be
disappointed. He's not my legal representative.”
The next moment, Rachel had already walked in from outside the court. She winked at Elisa. “Sorry that I'm late.
There was a bit of traffic on the way.”
Elisa might not be able to defend herself, but a good friend could. Everyone in Bayswe knew how outstanding
Rachel was.
Elisa thought. Did they really believe that because they had a prior discussion, Paul and Rochelle could avoid being
sentenced, and Edith could escape without any implication? Dream on! The net must be drawn in little by little, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnow, it's time to reel it in.
Rachel's justified and well-founded arguments, coupled with the evidence she had gathered, made her speech very
convincing, particularly since she was a top-tier lawyer. Every word she uttered left Edith's party appearing
relatively weak.
When the evidence was produced, the expressions of Edith and Paul drastically changed.
Rachel put forth a few demands. “My client demands that the defendant return the shares of Benett Corporation
and compensate three times the amount embezzled from Benett Corporation over these years. Furthermore, those
who previously intended to harm her have committed attempted murder. According to criminal law, the defendant
should bear criminal responsibility.”
Paul and Rochelle were the ones who should be sentenced.
It was too late for Edith to escape now. Consequently, one was convicted of corruption and bribery, the other of
intentional injury. Paul was sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment, Rochelle to ten years, and Edith to five
years.
Elisa was very satisfied with the verdict.
The next person she had to deal with was Norman.
Elisa stepped out of the court, with Rachel following closely behind her. The two of them, walking one after the
other, were the beauties in the legal field, both capable and gorgeous.
Gareth's car was parked outside the court.
Gareth had anticipated that Elisa would seek help from Rachel. He had never mentioned it, but now that he saw
Rachel, Gareth nodded his head to greet her.
However, Rachel still didn't show any kindness toward Gareth. After all, he had undoubtedly hurt Elisa in the past.
She just didn't expect that Vincent would also be there.
“Well, what a coincidence to bump into you all today! Why don't we seize the moment and have lunch together?
Isn't it better to make the most of this chance encounter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDressed in a black business suit and carrying a briefcase, Vincent looked extremely professional. However, the
moment he laughed and spoke, the illusion shattered instantly.
Rachel glared at him. Coincidence? This is clearly deliberate! This guy knew I was coming today and rushed over on
purpose.
“Liz and I still have some important matters to attend to, so you two go ahead and eat. Liz, let's go.” With that,
Rachel took Elisa by the hand.
Elisa notified her to come today. Ever since Elisa and Gareth disappeared, she had searched for them the whole
time, constantly swamped.
Today, it was about time for them to have a proper get-together!
As she spoke, Rachel took Elisa's hand and walked away, leaving Vincent and Gareth behind them.
When Vincent wanted to give chase and say something more, Gareth stopped him by shaking his head at Vincent.
Vincent stared at Gareth incredulously. “Bro, are you serious? You're really just letting the two of them go like this?
Or you've already sorted things out with Elisa upon your return?”
