The lawyers gasped in shock.

Robert Martin shifted their focus, “I have a request for dismissal of the lawsuit right here. You are welcome to take a look.”

The court was initially prepared to accept the case, but Jean’s response changed this appeal.

Considering the recent changes, the lawyers appeared a little nervous. Although they had been in the sector for a long time, they had never seen a situation quite like this one. The tables have turned.

After looking at Jean, Charlie turned to face the defendant standing next to him.

“Now, Mr. Royden.”

Edbert leaned forward, holding the wheelchair’s handle with displeasure.

“My apologies, Mr. Melchoir. Initially, I believed that the ugly nature of my family should not be made public. My niece and daughter-in-law are worse than my nephew, which I neglected to mention.” Edbert simpered, “She bribed off the attending doctor, that’s why my legs are…”

“Spreading rumors is entirely up to the individual.” Jean smiled indifferently, “There is no legal consequence. You are free to say whatever you want. I can also call the newspaper now and spread facts. How about that?”

Jean gave them a direct look.

She expressed, “It doesn’t matter. The deal is that if you sue me and I pay you back, I won’t believe the lies you fabricate for that man.” Jean looked at Charlie, “Besides, with your experience, do you really think you can win this case?”

She made it clear that she was playing the rogue.

But when they were made to examine them, those lawyers were rendered dumbfounded.

If what she said was untrue, the indictment might be amended to include defamation and gossip in this trial.

What if she was telling the truth?

After exchanging glances, Charlie and his assistant stood up together. “I have some documents in the office to retrieve, so I’ll excuse you for a few minutes.”

Jean tilted her head.

She asked openly. “Mr. Melchoir, are you fleeing in despair, or are you verifying what I just said?”

Charlie’s eyes darkened, “Miss Eyer, don’t get me wrong, I’ll be back soon.”
