My Mute Bride

Chapter 342 Profligate Lifestyle

The hearing continued after the court’s recess ended. The judge directly asked Charlotte who she’d like to live with.

However, before Charlotte could give her answer, Hernandez suddenly stood up. “Your Honor, before we ask the child who she’d like to live with, I’d like to present a new reference material for the case. I think you, the jury present, and the child herself have the right to see it.”

The judge nodded slightly.

Hernandez whispered something to the projectionist at the scene. Soon after that, a few photos appeared on the LED screen.

At the sight of the photos, Justin turned pale at once.

The photos were selfies taken on a large hotel bed by a woman resting her head on Justin’s arm—the woman who had turned up next to him the morning before yesterday.

Frankie hurriedly covered Charlotte’s eyes, but it was too late.

Charlotte was stunned for a while with her eyes covered. Then, she mumbled quietly, “Does Daddy have another new girlfriend?”

Rachel was startled for a moment before she clenched her fists.

Hernandez exchanged a brief look with Jolly in the public gallery. Then, he stood up and explained, “The woman in the photos is a sex worker, or, in layman’s terms, a hooker!”

In an instant, Justin’s pupils shrank, and his temples throbbed. He had never been humiliated like this before.

The jury’s peculiar gazes were all focused on the man as they discussed the photos.

Just then, Hernandez continued, “The hiring of prostitutes is prohibited by law and by moral standards. My client didn’t want to bring this up at first, but as an attorney, I believe this is a key piece of information that can prove that the defendant has a profligate lifestyle. He’s simply a shameless man who lacked the morality necessary to raise a child!”

Mr. Hernandez! By accusing my client of having a profligate lifestyle based on a few photos alone, you and your client are
