Chapter 313 - Hearing (2/2)
”No. I happened to help her out from a difficult situation when I went out to have dinner alone a few days ago. That night I was really feeling very lonely, you know… Having none of my children around in this big house.”
Miley ignored her father's sulking tone and asked, ”Oh so you recruited her? Tell me what happened father.”
Senior Sy sighed and told Miley how he met Chelsy that night.
”Oh, good thing that you were around at that time, father. It's better then that she stays here with us.” Miley commented as she felt sympathy with the woman's hardsh.i.p.s.
”By the way… Did Liam call already. Your brother is making me worry Miley. Also Lana… When will she come back. These two… How can I have a grandchild if they keep on prioritizing work rather than living with each other?!” Senior Sy burst, changing the topic.
”Big bro and Lana will be back soon. I just got a call last night and almost forgot to tell you. Hehe. Sorry… But big bro said that he will call you also within the day.

Mirage Trial at At Country V
The next hearing of the trial had to start at the same place where the first hearing was to take place. All the procedures were the same. Lana together with Xander reached amidst the same tight security as they reached on their first trial.
They were finally blindfolded and taken inside the courtroom where they were given a private area to sit before the judge arrived. Lana's blindfold was removed along with others who accompanied them and they were once again checked for arms or any dangerous objects.
The people at Yun's side had also arrived and were sitting in their waiting area.
They were soon called in the courtroom and were asked to present their case further in front of the judge. Lana opened her file and started with a blow.
”Your honour, though there are many cases in which Mr. Yun had misused the power of the Yue clan for his benefits and he had been actively involved in killing innocent people for his greed of property, but the worst sin that a human can commit is killing and eliminating his own family members just to keep their stake on the power.
Next, I want to present a few incidents which are clearly linked with Mr. Yun who thought he was successful in erasing all the evidence including the witnesses, yet he failed in it.”
Lana then opened the case of the planned murder on Xander's cousin Bernard against the opponent.
As Lana spoke this Liam stood up and said, ”Objection your honour, he could have been bribed by anyone, even Mr. Xander could have bribed the truck driver to kill him as he was in love with Ms. Yera Han and wanted to steal her away from Mr. Cooper. How can my talented opponent name my client with no concrete proof?”
Lana smirked when she heard Liam's statement.
'Is this how you defend your client, Mr. Sy?' she thought then she took a deep breath and continued, ”In fact, what my capable opponent just said is exactly right your honour, and to not name his clients without any strong and obvious evidence I should not take his name. But what if I have something that can prove me right?”
Lana brought the papers out from the envelope and explained the story behind the letter and presented the letter and forensic study details to the court.
That envelope contained the original postmortem report of the truck driver and also attached were doc.u.ments supporting its authentication.
Lana waited for Liam's objection, but to her surprise Liam was too quiet at that moment. She could see Yun cursing at him in silence, but Liam only answered Yun with a sigh.
