Chapter 20 - Stop right there ! (2/2)
”Stop right there ! ” said Aria in a serious tone .
Everyone was surprised when they turned their face and saw Aria who was accompanied by Ace . Even though she rested a little her face was still pale .
' Why is her face so pale and why is Ace here ? ' thought Bekora .
Bekora looked at Ramolo and saw that he was thinking the same thing as him .
On the other hand Helios thought that it was strange that her brother was there with her . He noticed that the moment Aria entered she was leaning on Ace so he decided to zoom the picture and see Aria's face . Her face was pale and her eyes were hardly trying to remain open .
' What happened to her ? ' thought Helios then wrote a message to Ramolo , ordering him to investigate what had happened once the court seance was over .
Mr Ben began to worry . He couldn't allow her to speak about what he had done to her . His sight crossed Aria's . Her look was neither annoyed neither angry. He himself couldn't comprehend what that look which started to give him the chills meant .
”Who are you to ask the prosecutor to stop ?! ” said the lawyer of ms Karen , Helios's aunt . Mrs Karen and the R&B's ceo were sitting as if nothing mattered . Karen was scheming and used someone else as a scapegoat so she had made a plot ready for the ceo of R&B company to take her place in court . She convinced him by helping out with some financial issues.
”I, lawyer of mr Helios , demand a review of the evidences that slander my client . Your honor please give me the chance to proceed.”
”The evidences have been proved and approved by the judge himself . Are you trying to say that our judge can't differ the real from fake ?!” said mr Ben with an evil smile on his face .
”With all the respect your honor , I admit that my client isn't here and I also apologize in name of my client but he really couldn't make it due to work reasons. I also arrived late but that is due to a reason which I would prefer to talk about once this is over . As for the review of the evidences , I would never look down on the decision made by your honor but sometimes even the sharpest eyes can mis the evil's intention when trying to lead a peaceful path . ”
Everyone in the hall looked at Aria and the other lawyer , mr Ben . Helios's assistant , Ramolo started to register the whole process to send it to Mana who had gone overseas again for work related matters . Aria looked straight at the eyes of the prosecutor . Her determined attitude changed his decision , making him agree to her request despite the strong disagreement of mr Ben .
”Now the review of the evidences shall begin. ” said the prosecutor.
”Your honor this is just a loss of time !” said mr Ben hopping that the decision may change . The prosecutor looked at him a bit angry and wanted to speak but before he could open his mouth Aria stepped forward while looking at him with a murderous gaze .
”Mr Ben seems rather tense about the review of the evidences. If you insist that your client is innocent then why are you so worked over such a small matter or is there something hidden that you don't want us to discover ?! ”
Aria's eyes were fierce like that of a tiger . She usually was nice and naive but once she wore the layer's fabric she became fierce and merciless , like a general ready to fight without holding sympathy for its enemies. Ramolo was a bit surprised by this side of her and so was Bekora . She looked really cool .
”Miss Aria has a point mr Ben . Why would you be so nervous or are you objecting my order ?!” said the prosecutor looking at mr Ben with suspicion .
Me Ben remained silent and lowered his head in sign of apology . Then he looked angrily at Aria but she didn't give a damn about that .
Aria went and sat next to Bekora .
” Now it's time to end this annoying situation ! ” said Aria and opened the file .
