Chapter 607 - This is Not Over! (1/2)

After Alan stepped forward, the tide was completely turned to Jason's favor. Another stain was added to Ivan's name, making his reputation plummeted further. Ivan tried to divert the discussion back to Jason, but it turned to attack him from all directions.

Even without the judges telling him that he was the one who lost, the result was already apparent.

The court verdict was Jason was not wrong and it was Ivan who had to pay the penalty fee for falsely accusing the young man.

”The debate is over. Judges will be leaving the room.”

The audiences stood up. Ivan was glaring towards Jason as if he wanted to bear a hole there. If only looks can kill, Jason would have died a few times over the course of the court.

'This is not over,' Ivan mouthed out.

Jason arched his eyebrows. He was not afraid of the threat that Ivan gave him. Whatever Ivan wanted to do, he would be prepared to welcome it.

'You can come at me anytime.'

The two of them glared towards each other before they walked back to the resting room. The first thing Jason saw was Laura sitting on the sofa, waiting patiently. Even though she has been spouting a lot of things bravely, right now, she looked like a little kitten.

”Are you alright, Laura?” Jason approached the girl and hugged her tenderly. ”I'm sorry for asking you to be the witness.”

”It's my decision,” Laura flashed a smile. ”Moreover, we win, right?”

”Yes,” Jason smiled warmly. He pulled the girl up as he sat down before placing her on his lap, his hand held her waist firmly in place.

Clara chuckled when she saw these two acted close with one another. ”You did great.”

”Thank you very much, Mrs. Clara. You're a great help for us,” Jason expressed his thanks.

”You should give your thanks to your friend more than me,” Clara smiled. ”It's Kanae who tells me about Alan and the fact that he's willing to confess what Ivan did to him.”

Jason flashed a smile. When Kanae handed him the information, she had secretly added that she made a personal visit to Alan. That visit should be enough to push Alan into switching his stance, allowing them to gain a precious witness. Even though Clara could make do with coercing the other party's witness, Alan became the perfect blow.

Laura's eyes widened. ”Mrs. Clara, do you talk with my sister?”

”She sent me an email,” Clara replied. She eyed Laura curiously. ”Do you have some problem with your sister?”

”Umm, I just can't talk to her,” Laura replied in a soft voice. After the hospital incident, she hadn't seen her sister again. This was already nearing the end of fall's season, so it has been a few months.

”I'll see what I can do to talk with her,” Clara smiled wryly. She knew that it would be hard as she didn't know Kanae's phone number.

”There's no need. I'll be waiting for that by myself,” Laura immediately rejected.

”If that's what you wish.”

Laura eyed Clara, who was busy making a call, with curiosity. She didn't understand why Clara would gladly help her even though they didn't have any close relationship. Even before, Clara didn't ask for a payment when he helped her go against the Nali Family.

”If you're busy, we won't take more of your time, Mrs. Clara,” Jason spoke up when Clara had finished making the call. ”Thank you very much for helping us. Please tell me about the payment for your service.”

”There's no need for that,” Clara smiled.

”I insist. I'm not Kanae, so there's no need for you to help me for free. I'll pay in full for your service.”

Clara sighed. ”Alright, I'll tell you the details in your email, but don't make a call to me telling me that you regret it after you see the number.”

”I won't,” Jason chuckled.

Clara talked with the other witnesses before departing back home. She has more cases in the other city, so she had to catch a flight. Thankfully, the court ended faster than what they imagined.

”Do you want to eat first? I'll order some food in your favorite restaurant,” Jason offered Laura.

”That's a good idea.”

Inside the car, Laura made a phone call to Misae, telling the great news about the court. Honestly, Misae had seen the news report, so there was no need for Laura to tell her personally.

”Misae, we won the case!”

”I know! Congratulations,” Misae replied. She hurriedly lowered the volume for the television that she watched. It was telling the exact same news that Laura told her.
