Chapter 245
Seeing that she had successfully made Sebastian take the bait, Joseline smirked triumphantly. She then swiped across the screen and showed the kid each and every photo she had with liis mother.
“See? I'm not lying to you. I even have photos of your mommy when she was little. She looks so much like you in this photo.”
Sebastian had his whole attention on the photos. Astounded, he tilted his head to look at Joseline.
Even though he did not trust Joseline completely, he was no longer defensive toward her.
Right then, Joseline's another phone that she kept in her pocket rang.
She quickly answered the call and pretended to be in a conversation with the person on the other end before feigning shock.
“What! Angeline's in a car accident? How could that be? How serious is it?”
When Sebastian heard his mother's name, anxiety appeared in his eyes. He stretched a hand out and clutched the comer of Joseline's clothes.
“All right. We'll be there right away,” uttered the woman before she ended the call.
Right after that, she gripped Sebastian's shoulders, eyes filled with nervousness.
“Your mommy's in a serious car accident. I bet the person she wants to meet the most is you. Do you want to come with me?”
Being the innocent kid that he was, Sebastian nodded frantically at the mention of his mother being in trouble. He pulled Joseline's hand.
“Cahn down. We'll go right away.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Wrapping an aim around his shoulder. Joseline fastened her pace as they exited the amusement park.
Upon arriving at a certain comer, she sneaked a glance at a nearby figure and secretly gestured an “okay” sign to the person.
Meanwhile, at the court, a battle was about to ensue.
Under the judge's order, the alcoholic couple was dragged into the court. They were both wearing prison uniforms.
Standing at one of the sections, Angeline could not hide the cold glint in her eyes when she saw them.
When the couple spotted Angeline, resentment lit up in their eyes as they pounced on her like mad people.
“You b*tch! You're the reason we're in jail now! Go to hell!”
“Yeah, you even lied to us, saying you're a relative or something! That was merely a scheme of yours, wasn't it?”
Their pent-up anger while they were in jail finally exploded at that point.
Several police officers were holding them down to prevent them from moving around. It was an appalling scene.
Angeline refused to speak a word to the couple as she glared at them. All she felt for them was hatred.
This is where your lives end, you heartless b*stards.
After they succeeded in calming the alcoholic pah down, the judge hit the gavel.
“Enough. To start this case officially, I need all of you to calm down and cooperate with us,” stated the judge in a deep voice.
As the alcoholic couple was from the countryside, they could not afford a lawyer. Moreover, after the incident, each of their relatives left them, with not even one person helping them.
Angeline, on the other hand, had hired the best lawyer in the entire industry. It could be said that he was bound to win.
Once the trial started, he walked to the front with documents in liis hand before bowing to the judge politely.
“Everyone, I'm fully prepared for this case. There's evidence of tliis couple committing domestic violence against the child, as well as the child's bony condition during the time he was rescued. It'd only take heartless creatures to abuse such a small child.”
As he said that, he handed the documents to the judge. The photos were obviously extremely disturbing that the judge's expression changed after he took a few glances.
“We have solid evidence here. How would you like to justify yourselves?”
Normally, in this situation, people would not dare to make a sound. However, it could not be said the same with this shameless couple.
They gritted then teeth, not plaiming to remain silent. David, the alcoholic man. refuted, “So what if you have evidence? We're living in modem times. Who's to say they weren't photoshopped? That woman has an ulterior motive and is trying to frame us!”
Angeline's face darkened. I've never met such a shameless person. The evidence is right in liis face, yet he still has the guts to spout nonsense.
Angeline's rage skyrocketed. “Don't listen to him, Your Honor. That man abuses his wife as well. If you don't believe me, you can have someone check the scars on her body.”
Hearing that, the judge nodded and signaled for the bodyguards to perform the inspection.
“All! Don't touch me!” shrieked the woman at the first contact with them.
She struggled with all her might, but it was to no avail when the bodyguards tore her shirt open roughly, revealing the tank top she was wearing, as well as the countless scars covering her shoulders.
Some were fresh wounds, and some were scars from previous injuries. It was a ghastly sight.
Despite that, the woman endured the pain day and night. Even at tliis moment, she was still trying to find excuses for her husband.
Angeline took a deep breath to compose herself before uttering calmly, “That alone is enough to prove liis tendency toward domestic violence. After they adopted my child, they had been beating him to the point of death, yet they still refuse to give up liis custody. I suggest that they immediately be sentenced to prison. Show them no mercy.”
“You b*tch! I'm going to kill you!” bellowed David. Rage was painted in liis eyes.
Angeline indeed had solid evidence. They had been preparing for so long just for this day. so losing was not an option.
On the contrary, David knew it was over for him, so he used tliis final chance to express liis dissatisfaction before he lost his sanity.
However, what good would that do?
When everyone least expected it, the door to the court was pushed open, followed by a child's sobs.
