30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 139

Chapter 139

The judge banged his gavel again and reminded sternly, “Please, plaintiff and defendant, mind your emotions.”

Heeding the judge’s advice, both parties simmered down, their anger barely contained.

The judge turned to Nick’s lawyer and inquired, “Counsel for the defense. Do you have anything further to add?”

Nick had chosen a middle-aged male attorney who, upon the judge’s query, stood up said, “Your Honor, my client has made his position abundantly clear. I have nothing further to add at this time.”

The judge then looked towards Estrella, “Counsel for the plaintiff. Are you able to present any further evidence at this point?”

Estrella replied, “Your Honor, we have no further evidence to present today. Therefore, we request an adjournment until the next session.

“Very well,” the judge addressed Estrella, “but please be prepared to present any additional evidence before we reconvene.”

Estrella acknowledged, “Understood, Your Honor.” If they couldn’t produce any compelling evidence next time, the case would effectively be closed, and Nick would walk away without a scratch.

The judge announced, “Court is adjourned for today regarding the case of Lexi Hart’s injury. Both parties will be notified of the date for the next hearing in due course. The defendant, Nick, is instructed not to leave Ravenwood until the conclusion of this case.’

And with that, the session concluded, leaving Lexi’s family with little advantage aside from the charges filed against Nick.

As the group made their way to the parking lot in front of the courthouse, Jeffery and Haley spotted Nick emerging and, with eyes red with fury, accosted him, “Nick, you’re heartless! You’ve ruined my daughter.”
