Seeing that Amelia didn't even look at him, Sawyer immediately looked away.
He looked around and found that not only Ryan and his wife, but also Kaiden and Abner were also present.
However, the expression in Kaiden's eyes when he looked at him was very complicated.
"Maybe he heard something against me?"
As for his son whom he had not seen for a long time, he did not look as introverted and gloomy as before. Otherwise, he would not have been held in Ruth's arms obediently.
Of course, Safa was there too.
At this moment, she was looking at him with great concern.
With just one glance, he withdrew his gaze from her.
After all, she was just an old servant. Although she was loyal, he could not count on her.
Then, the judge announced that he would bring the witness to court.
Looking at the woman who was slowly walking into the court, Sawyer was stunned for a while, as if he had been frozen.
Sissi didn't dare to look in the direction of the defendant's seat, for fear that she would be torn into pieces by Sawyer's eyes!
But even if she avoided Sawyer, there were still countless unkind eyes waiting for her.
The Hopper family, the Quartley family, the Ramsay family... Even her own son was looking at her coldly as if she were dead.
Her son was already like this, not to mention the others. All of them were eyeing her covetously!
She stopped subconsciously and looked at Patrick as if she was asking for help.
He nodded at her as if he was comforting her.
She felt a little relieved. Patrick would not ignore her!
The next second, the judge said, "Witness, please go to the witness's seat as soon as possible."
Sissi took a deep breath and walked to the witness's seat and stood still.
Seeing that everyone was in place, the judge said solemnly, "Defendant, according to the complaint filed by the plaintiff, you once tried to kidnap her at her wedding and detained her in a residential building in Los Angeles, California."
"You also ordered people to keep an eye on her. At that time, the witness had been pregnant for more than a month. In order to force her to obey you, you often threatened her with the child in her belly. Do you admit it?"
Sawyer's lawyer couldn't wait to stand up and say, "Your Honor, we believe that the testimony offered by the plaintiff is onesided. In fact, it’s not true."
The judge motioned for him to continue.
The lawyer raised a finger and emphasized, "There's one thing that I have to announce first. Miss Amelia Ramsay and Mr. Quartley are actually half-siblings!"
Everything went as Patrick had expected. As expected, the lawyer that the Quartley family hired revealed Amelia's family background.
In this regard, the Ramsay family and the Hopper family both glared at the Quartley family angrily and silently scolded them for being "shameless"!
Sensing their hostility, Ryan pursed his lips bitterly. He had always hoped that he could say something like, "Amelia is my daughter", in a fair and square manner, but he had never expected that it would be like this.
In this way, Amelia would be even more unwilling to recognize him, wouldn't she?
The low pressure from her husband made Ruth feel uncomfortable. However, since things had already become like this, she could only brace herself to go on!
Kaiden couldn't help but focus his eyes on the woman who made him struggle.
Alyssa, the lawyer hired by Patrick, said, "Your Honor, I have something to say."
The judge nodded in agreement.
Alyssa said, "The lawyer just said that Miss Amelia Ramsay and the defendant are brother and sister. It's ridiculous! I think all this was made up in order for the defendant to get away with the crime!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sawyer's eyes narrowed dangerously.
He then gave his lawyer a look, and the lawyer immediately retorted, "It's true!"
Alyssa asked with a straight face, "What evidence do you have to prove that there is a relationship between Miss Amelia Ramsay and the defendant?"
The lawyer that the Quartley family hired had learned that although the DNA test had been done during the time when Sawyer imprisoned Amelia, the report had gone missing since he was arrested. Later, he went to prison, so it was impossible for him to get a new report. For the sake of the current situation, he could only let Amelia and Sawyer do the DNA test again!
Therefore, he said, "Your Honor, I suggest that...”
Unfortunately, Alyssa was faster than him and immediately cut off his words. "You can't take it out, but we can."
With this, Alyssa handed over the things in her hands to the court. "Your Honor, I have expected that the defendant would make up Miss Amelia Ramsay's family background, so I have done a DNA test for them in advance. This is the DNA report. Please have a look."
After the judge finished reading with glasses, he looked up and said, "According to the DNA report, the plaintiff and the defendant are not related by blood."
His words made the faces of all the members of the Quartley family change!
"That's impossible, isn't it?"
Kaiden's eyes widened. Not long ago, Amelia had admitted to him that she was Ryan's illegitimate daughter. Why was it a different story now?
