Sweet Wife in Hidden Marriage

Chapter 38 The Plaintiff Dropped the Lawsuit, and You may File a Counterclaim

"What’s going on?" Staring at the empty plaintiff seat opposite him, Stephen asked Lillian in puzzlement.

Lillian shook her head, not knowing what was happening either. "Let’s wait. Maybe he’ll arrive soon."

Sebastian took a seat in the auditoria. The lawyer he had hired had already sat down at Lillian’s side. The most famous lawyers of Millpond had both come to help Lillian, so there was a good chance that they would win the lawsuit. Did the plaintiff get cold feet because he had known that?

Sebastian ran his eyes over the whole audience and didn’t see Archibald among the sparse crowd. Was he really not coming today?

Time ticked by, and the plaintiff seat was still empty. When the crowd was getting impatient waiting, someone came in all of a sudden. He said to the presiding judge, "I’m sorry. I came on behalf of the radio station. The radio station has decided to withdraw the charge and drop the lawsuit. The radio station would like to settle the matter with Miss Spencer in private."

What? Drop the lawsuit?

Lillian looked at this man in surprise. What did he mean by that? Was it a fun thing to do to go to court? She hadn’t eaten or slept well these days. Besides, Stephen had spent some good money hiring a great lawyer. And now, the case was over after someone said the radio station wanted to drop the lawsuit?

Lillian took a deep breath and almost got mad!

The presiding judge was also unhappy to hear that. He stared at Lillian and asked, "Defendant, you may file a counterclaim, and we can reach a verdict in court without the presence of the plaintiff."

File a counterclaim? Lillian’s eyes glinted. Of course she would, because why not?

However, Stephan stopped her and said in a low voice, "You haven’t canceled the contract with the radio station yet. Are you sure you want to counter charge?"

Lillian looked back at Stephan and glanced at the two lawyers behind her. Now she was standing in court with such great legal aid, should she waste all of them? Lillian stared at that handsome Lawyer Bennett and asked, "Lawyer Bennett, are you sure we’ll win if I counter charge?"
