I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 701 - 700: Pregnant?! (23)

The next day, the court hearing officially commenced.

The spectator seats were fully occupied, not only with Isla Hawskin, Merlin Bradley, and Kate Palmer, but even Andre Colin came personally to observe. Evan Gust and Kenton Maverick, unable to leave Nicosa due to work commitments, also called several times to inquire about the situation.

Ria Chapman also dragged her father over, taking a seat next to Bailey Hansen.

Her injuries had completely healed, and these past few days she had visited the Cooper Family several times to ask about Vera Wave. Ever since being saved by Vera, she had become a devoted follower of hers.

Apart from these people, there were also many journalists inside and outside the room, waiting for the final outcome of the case.

Just before the court session, Nathan Leafcastle and Sally Dalton entered the courtroom together, followed by Linda and two assistants.

"Look, that guy is here!" Ria Chapman’s tone was full of disdain, "That stone-faced guy, one day I must teach him a lesson!"

Craig Chapman glared at her, and Ria, knowing she had spoken too much, closed her mouth.

Kris Cooper turned his face, just in time to meet Nathan Leafcastle’s gaze. The sightlines of the two men intersected in mid-air, both emitting a very dominant aura.

"Nathan!"

Sally Dalton gently tugged his arm, causing Nathan Leafcastle to turn his face and sit down in the opposite chair with her.

Sophia Thompson and Yansu entered separately and took their respective seats.

A moment later, the judge and other staff took their places one after another.

Scanning the entire room, the judge raised a hand and struck the gavel, officially beginning the trial.

The room quieted down as a side door opened, and the staff brought Vera Wave inside.

She had deliberately worn a white dress today, with low-heeled white leather shoes, and her hair was neatly combed. She looked like a well-behaved little girl, making it hard for anyone to associate such a person with a murderer.

This was also under Sophia Thompson’s directive, to make a good impression on the judge and tribunal, which was a beautiful opening.

As she walked in, meeting Kris Cooper’s gaze, she slightly curved her lips, appearing very relaxed.

Kris Cooper, who had been worried about her state, also sighed with relief seeing her like this.

Across from him, Nathan Leafcastle watched that familiar figure, furrowing his brows tightly.

Vera Wave was brought to the defendant’s seat, and the trial began.

After the prosecution presented the case, the trial moved into the evidence collection phase.

The judge asked Vera Wave, "Defendant, do you have anything to say about the prosecution’s statement?"

All eyes fell on Vera Wave’s face.

Vera took a deep breath and slowly began to speak.

"I was the one who pushed Liliana Davis down. I am guilty, I plead guilty."

After saying this, she stopped, making no further defense.

Sophia Thompson slightly furrowed her brows and straightened up.

"Your Honor, please allow me to submit some materials and evidence."

The assistant presented the documents to the judge, and Sophia Thompson stood up, "This photo is a screenshot from the surveillance video of my client’s engagement ceremony with her husband, Kris Cooper. From the timing, it can be seen that after my client entered the bathroom, Liliana Davis, the deceased, also entered the bathroom shortly thereafter, and then she closed the bathroom door, making verbal threats to my client. This is sufficient to prove that this incident had a cause."

"I object." Yansu stood up, "What evidence does the opposing lawyer have to prove that the deceased made verbal threats to the defendant?"
