Chapter 312 - Read His Lips (1/2)

Lana's lips pouted and said, ”I told you I never have lost a case till now and am never gonna lose against Liam as well. Do I need to repeat that several times to make you trust me?”

Xander heaved a long deep sigh… So far everything was going smoothly in their favor, but still Lana was just a newbie compared to Liam Sy.

”Maybe your boyfriend will let you win? Men often give way to their women, right?” Chad joked to kill the sudden tension in the air.

Lana twitched her mouth. She too wondered if that would be the case. Liam was hiding something from her, and that was for sure. He did not tell her everything.

After lunch, the trial continued.

Lana presented her next evidence. She detailed every crime as she spoke...

”They said the family was innocent… But is that true, really?”

But Liam hindered Lana again.

”Objection your honor!”

Another objection was heard inside the room, and Xander could see the grin on his opponent's face while Lana pursed her lips as she squinted her eyes at Liam's direction.

”Your honor. All the doc.u.ments of transfer of the insurance of the man are legit, which proves that the money all came from the insurance company. What's the point of bringing up that issue when the case has already been closed for so many years? The perpetrator admitted his crime and killed himself to atone for it.” Lana heard Liam blabbered.

”Moreover, when the insurance was fully paid, the beneficiaries were the innocent family members of the murderer, not he himself,” he added.

He then contradicted Lana's statement, presenting enough evidence of no connection of the murderer with his client. Lana saw this coming already, since they had no concrete evidence to pinpoint everything to his opponent about this particular claim.

”He's really good,” Chad could not help but mutter while he watched the two lawyers head to head, throwing their words defending each party they were handling. But Chad felt it was too awkward knowing the two lawyers were in a relationship battling inside the courtroom in the same case from opposite parties.

Chad even cringed suddenly imagining Liam and Lana kissing inside the courtroom after hearing the result of the trial. His imaginations ran wild, and he simply imagined a hot passionate kiss between them.

'Yuck such gross!' Chad mumbled, abruptly erasing such a silly scene in front of his eyes.
