After she left, the passers-by discussed.
"This woman is so lucky!"
"Yeah, that guy is really unlucky. I don't know if he can be saved with so much blood lost!"
"God bless him! He is a handsome guy! It's a pity that he died! I'm still waiting for him to send the scarf back so that I can get to know him!" The woman who gave the scarf to Patrick said hopefully.
Amelia took the briefcase out of the carriage that had been crashed and hailed a taxi passing by. She said to the taxi driver, who looked shocked, "Please go to the court!"
The driver asked with uncertainty, "Girl, did you just say that you are going to the hospital?"
Amelia rectified, "No, I said go to the court. The blood is not mine."
After Amelia sat tight, she called Kayla without hesitation. Even if Kayla refused her before, she was fearless at this time!
Since Patrick was willing to risk everything for her, how could she hold back?
After the phone was connected, Amelia quickly told Kayla what had happened.
Kayla remained silent for a long time before she said, "All right, give me the address."
Amelia's heart wavered. She could not believe that Kayla would agree so quickly.
This was Patrick's strength! He could control her death, and he could also help her live!
After the conversation with Kayla, another call came in before Amelia could put down her cell phone.
She picked it up and said, "Hello".
The one who contacted her was the lawyer she hired secretly. He had already arrived at the court, together with Alice, Jonathan, and Audrey.
The lawyer quickly asked, "Ms. Ramsay, the trial will start in three minutes. The Judge, prosecutor, and lawyer are already here. Where are you now?"
"Sorry, I'll be there soon!"
The lawyer said seriously, "Ms. Ramsay, I have an obligation to remind you that as the defendant, you will be punished by the court if you're late without a good reason. The court will accept all the evidence proposed by Mr. Quade. This also means that you will lose without any debate!"
At this time, the driver took a turn, and in front of the windshield appeared the golden words, written "People's Court."
Amelia's heart calmed down, "I have a valid reason! Mr. Lawyer, please tell the judge that I had a car accident on the way here. If they don't believe me, they can send someone to investigate the scene."
In the People's Court.
Kaleb and several other directors had asked for leave today to have a good laugh at Amelia.
But, they were confused as they looked around but could not see Amelia showing up.
Someone could not help but guess, "Kaleb, do you think your niece is afraid? Is she hiding at home waiting for the news of her losing the lawsuit?"
Kaleb nodded and raised the corner of his mouth. "Anyway, she'll lose the lawsuit whether she comes or not. It's better for her to wait for the news at home. It's better than being humiliated in public. Isn't it?"
Everyone echoed, "That's right!"
Kaleb narrowed his eyes and said, "The only thing that I pity is that I can't see what she looks like when she fails. I want to see if she is still as arrogant as usual!"
"That's right! She relied on her father and didn't respect her elders. She even embarrassed you many times. She deserves to end up like this today!"
"Kaleb, it doesn't matter if she didn't come today. Next week, we'll hold a board of directors meeting, and she must be present. Then, everyone will work together to ask her to step down. Then isn't the acting director's position in the palm of your hand?"
"Not only that, but you can see Amelia's face of being an outcast!"
Kaleb laughed happily as if everything they had assumed had become a reality and was right in front of him!
On the other side, Mr. Quade also looked like he was winning. Not to mention Patrick, even Amelia herself was not present. Was there any need for this trial to go on?
And at this time, the judge, assistant, jury, clerk, and bailiff had arrived in order.
Mr. Quade tidied up his clothes and touched the bandages on his head. He then gave his lawyer a look before getting up and walked towards the plaintiff seat.
It was time for the trial. The dock was still empty, but the judge looked calm. He had learned from
Amelia's lawyer that she had a car accident while coming, and she was getting here as soon as possible. He could wait for a little longer since she was late for a valid reason.
Alice almost fainted when she knew that Amelia had a car accident. Fortunately, Audrey held her up in time.
"Aunt Alice, didn't the lawyer say that Madam Ramsay didn't injure herself although she had an accident? Please take it easy."
Paleness appeared on Alice's face. After she sat down, she nodded her head at Audrey and said. "Thank you, Assistant Atkinson."
In other words, Amelia had always tried to be brave. Maybe she had already been injured somewhere. But, in order not to lose the lawsuit, she risked her life to come here!
At this time, Audrey was also frightened and her face turned pale. She subconsciously denied, "No! It can't be her blood! Am I right, Mr. Tucker?"
Jonathan said calmly, "Well, that's not Amelia's blood. If it's her blood, and according to this amount of blood, her lips would have already turned purple, and she would have lost her balance!"
Audrey then replied, "That's good! Aunt Alice, did you hear that? The blood is not hers!"
After Alice let out a sigh of relief, she frowned again and whispered, "If it's not her blood, then to
whom does it belong to?"
The two bailiffs reminded Amelia at this time, "Miss, please take your place."
Amelia nodded to them. While passing by the public gallery, she heard Kaleb's strange greeting. "Oh, what happened to you, my dear niece? Is the blood yours?"
Amelia turned her face to look at him and said faintly, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Kaleb. I am very well. By the way, didn't you say that you would hire the best lawyer in the industry? Where is he?"
Kaleb gave her a well-thought-out excuse, "I'm so sorry, Amelia. I did find a lawyer for you before, but just now, the lawyer suddenly called me and said that he had an acute illness and couldn't come over. Alas, what do you think he meant by that? I also can't help it."
As he spoke, his small eyes widened slightly, wanting to capture the reaction he was waiting for.
However, Amelia did not show the panic he expected. "It doesn't matter. I had guessed that such a situation would happen, so I made other preparations."
After the words of Amelia, all the pride and vengeance on Kaleb's face faded away, leaving only shock and anger when he knew that he was the one being fooled.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Amelia walked to the other side of the gallery. She said to Alice and the others, "Alice, Uncle Tucker, Audrey, don't worry. Let's cut to the chase. I am not injured, so you don't have to worry."
After a pause, she handed the briefcase to the young man standing next to Jonathan and said solemnly, "Lawyer Li, I'll leave the rest to you."
The judge announced the start of the trial.
As the plaintiff, Mr. Quade was the first to show his evidence.
He took out a tape, which did not contain the contents of him hurting Amelia in the first place.
In the video, everyone was drinking and chatting. Most of the time, Amelia greeted him with a smiling face and toasted him. Amelia's face had become tipsy because of the alcohol. It left many watching the clip with a head full of things they were imagining.
Combined with the scandal of Amelia's divorce and the rumors about her being surrounded by men in the upper class, such a video was very unfavorable
to her.
