Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

21 Court trial

How is Spid going to handle such a case? (1)

Spid sat there with his hand resting under his jaw, looking bored.

After the last person was interrogated by lawyer An, he sighed like half his life had been wasted before he stood up and saluted the judge:

Spid is known for not interrupting his opponent all through their interrogation of witnesses and also doesn’t object to anything.

After all, he wasn’t known to be the best lawyer in the world by battling words with others.

“Your honor. In here is the new evidence I gathered. The case was too sudden, so I didn’t have time to gather enough.” He stretched the brown envelope to a court staff member who walked up to him to collect the file and handed it to the judge.

The judge went through the so-called evidence with a frown of displeasure on his face.

“Lawyer S.P, what is the meaning of this? Are you here to play with the court?!” The judge yelled. First of all, this lawyer introduced himself as S.P, an upcoming lawyer. Secondly, the envelope filled with ‘evidence’ was just a few pieces of paper with the same matter the court was handling but with a few changes here and there.

“Keep calm, Mr judge. I can’t bear the burden of you fainting because of me. If you’ll allow me to explain my report, it will save us both from too much trouble, thank you.”

The judge’s mouth fell open at his effrontery to speak to him in such a manner. D-did an unknown lawyer just, just….

His thought was cut short when he heard the man say:

“Can Miss Christine Wales step into the witness box, please?”

Christine walked out of her seat with confidence and stood in the witness box.

A wrapped book was given to her to place her hand on and make an oath.

Seeing this, Spid rolled his eyes. They’d swear and still lie.

After she was done swearing, Spid asked her to repeat her testimony and she said the exact words she had already said two times already.
