Sarah asked in a low voice, “Are we guaranteed to win?”
“Almost. Didn’t you see the judge’s dissatisfactory gaze toward Shaun? Now, let me trample him for the last time.”
Stevens stood up and asked Shaun, “Mr. Shaun Lyons, I heard that you hooked up with a married woman recently. Is that true?”
Shaun’s lips moved. “She’s my ex-wife…”
“All you need to answer is whether it’s true or false. Did you hook up with a woman who has yet divorced?” Stevens said.
“Yes.” Shaun nodded.
Stevens smiled. He looked toward the judge. “Your Honor, you’ve heard that too. No matter what reason Shaun has, the fact that he is together with a married woman publicly states that he has low morals. This is even a negative influence on society. Therefore, him cheating Sarah’s feelings and wasting more than ten years of my client’s youth is undoubtedly despicable. It is poor conduct. I hope Your Honor can make the fairest judgment. If a person like him gets rich, he’ll only think about harming innocent girls. In his eyes, women are like clothes that can be simply toyed with.”
The judge was a woman. Hence, after hearing Stevens’ words, she was unsatisfied with Shaun’s actions too.
Shaun stood up. “Miss Sarah Langley Neeson, let me ask you for the last time. Did I have sex with you before?”
Sarah looked toward him ruefully. “I have no choice if you don’t want to admit it.”
“Please reply to my question directly, ” Shaun said coldly.
“Yes.” Sarah nodded.
Shaun turned to the judge and said, “I appeal to bring the last witness to court.”
“Who is the witness?” the judge asked.
” It’s Sarah’s biological brother, Thomas Neeson.” After Shaun finished speaking, Sarah’s expression changed.
Stevens immediately said, “Objection. Shaun didn’t make the application beforehand.”
Shaun said, “Some things happened to Thomas lately, and he had been hospitalized all along. I didn’t know whether he could make it to this trial or not, so I didn’t make an application. However, he sent me a message before the trial started and said he would come. Moreover, both sides mentioned Thomas’s name many times during the first hearing.”
The judge glanced at the past records before she nodded. “Let him in.”
Sarah’s originally smug face sank. She did not understand why Thomas would go to Shaun after he was missing for a month?
She thought Thomas was so terrified after being taught a lesson by Chester that the former secretly left the country.
“How much does your brother know about your stuff?” Stevens asked in a deep voice.
“A lot.” Sarah did not feel good.
Stevens clenched his fists in frustration. “Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I wasn’t sure. He always listened to me.” Sarah was puzzled as well. At the same time, she secretly hated him. She should have gotten rid of Thomas a long time ago.
Soon, Thomas entered.
When Thomas saw Sarah, he could not help but shudder.
Sarah quickly said with reddened eyes, “Brother, where have you been all this time? I was so worried. How did you get hurt? Did Shaun threaten you?”
Shaun immediately rebuked, “Sarah, please mind your words. I can sue you for defamation.”
The judge glared at Sarah as a warning too. “The witness can take his place.”
After Thomas nervously got into the witness box, Shaun asked, “Mr. Thomas Neeson, I would like to ask a question. Did I help Neeson Corporation many times after your father passed away? Did I secretly help Neeson Corporation to look for collaboration partners multiple times as well?”
Thomas nodded fearfully. “Yes.”
Shaun said, “If it weren’t for me, could Neeson Corporation have lasted until today?”
Thomas shook his head. “No.”
Shaun asked again, “Your sister said I had sex with her before. Do you think this is true?”
Stevens stood up. “Objection. Thomas is just my client’s brother. How would he know such a private question? Moreover, as far as I know, Thomas and Shaun’s relationship was never good. There are too many doubts as to why Thomas would suddenly be willing to be Shaun’s witness. We suspect Shaun threatened the witness. All of you can see the injuries on the witness’s body.”
The judge frowned, and everyone started whispering as well.
However, Thomas said loudly, “No, he didn’t threaten me. I’m the one who hates Sarah. She’s too evil.”
Sarah’s expression changed. She said with tears in her eyes, “Brother, do you know what you’re saying? We’ve gone through so many things after Mom’s death. If it weren’t for me, would you still be here in one piece?”
Shaun laughed sarcastically and said, “Don’t take credit for all the good things. I was the one who fought the lawsuits for him back then. If it weren’t for me, he would’ve gone to jail. On the other hand, Sarah, you exploited your brother so many times all these years. You were innocent because he shouldered all the blame.”
“That’s right.” Thomas suddenly remembered the incident where Chester made him impotent, and fury welled within him. “After the Lyons family went down, I bumped into Shaun once when he was drunk. I called you and told you about it. In the end, you instigated me to tell Simon about it and let him teach Shaun a lesson, yet you got away clean.”
Faced with everyone’s complicated gazes, Sarah immediately retorted and said, “What nonsense are you spewing?”
Stevens said, “There’s no need to talk about your personal grudges here. This is a court, not a market.”
Thomas almost lost his rationality due to anger. Luckily, Shaun immediately said, “Thomas Neeson, please reply to my previous question.”
Thomas paused for a while before he hurriedly said, “How could you and my sister have had sex? Sarah told me many times that you would puke every time you touched her. She would always complain to me in private, and she even scolded you… She said you were a useless thing.”
Once those words came out, everybody was shocked.
Thomas said, “There was one time when she asked me to procure drugs. In the end, she didn’t succeed, and she even blamed me for the drug not being strong enough.”
“Nonsense.” Stevens said in a deep voice, “Tell me. What benefits did Shaun give you to frame your sister?”
Sarah sobbed and said, “Brother, we’re family.”
She wanted to hint to Thomas that her money was his money too, hoping Thomas would come to realize it.
However, Thomas had long since despised her. How would he believe her? “When she and Shaun were dating, she often instigated me to give Shaun some hints so that he would give her luxurious houses and branded bags. Furthermore, back when Shaun and Cate hadn’t divorced yet, she always pretended to be hurt. It was so that she could cheat Shaun over to her place and make Cate misunderstand. She wanted to slip in when the husband and wife were fighting.”
Sarah was furious. “That’s not true.”
Thomas sneered. “It’s true. Your injuries were very light every single time, yet you always had me exaggerate it in front of Shaun.”
Sarah’s whole body trembled with an embarrassed expression.
Thomas continued saying, “You’re clearly a home- wrecker that ruined other people’s marriage. After Shaun and Cate had a conflict, and after you wounded yourself that time on purpose, you asked me to tell Shaun that you wanted to live in the seaside villa. The real reason is that you wanted to live in the seaside love nest that Cate and Shaun used to stay in, then show it off to Cate to give her a blow.”
“Moreover, that year when Cate was pregnant with fraternal twins, you told me that you would definitely deal with the twins after Shaun handed the children to you.”
When Thomas revealed incident after incident, everyone in the courtroom was stunned.
Some even could not resist discussing it.
“Didn’t she say she was an innocent victim? That it was Shaun who betrayed her and married another woman, and he coaxed her back with sweet words again afterward.”
“So in the end, she was the mistress. Ew.”
“She’s too manipulative, and she almost deceived me.”
“She’s not just manipulative. She’s evil. She couldn’t even spare the newborn babies.”
“That’s right. Children are the purest angels in the world.”
“If you ask me, Shaun is a sc*m too. It takes two to tango. If he were a good man, he wouldn’t have been deceived by Sarah. He deserves it for two- timing.”
“The most innocent people are Cate and the children.”
Rodney sat in the audiences’ seat. He could hear everyone’s discussion clearly.
His pretty face, which was already pale, became paler as if he was about to faint and break down any time.
He thought Sarah was just greedy, vain, and liked to play up to people of power and influence. Yet, he did not expect that she was more evil and scheming than he thought.
