Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1024

In the dignified, solemn court, a court hearing was about to begin.

After both sides submitted their evidence and made their statements, the fierce lawsuit went straight to the point. Since he was still listed as the first defendant, the first step was for the plaintiff to show its evidence and response.

"Your Honor, pregnancy can affect a woman's mental functions and there's even a term, 'pregnancy brain', for that. Even if the defendant isn't pregnant with my child, I still sympathize with pregnant women. I can also understand how unstable a pregnant woman's emotions can be. It's normal for her to be insensible! Therefore, I can also understand why she took it back and made an appeal after admitting to have committed the crime. Thus, no matter what, I hope that you go easy on her, Your Honor."

"Although I love her and am willing to do anything for her, the fact is the fact. Upon her request, I also thought of taking the blame for her. However, I didn't expect that my hesitation made her use such extreme methods, such as slander and evasion of the law against me, that I couldn't accept. In the past, I was too stupid. Nobody can defy the law! I admit my mistakes. I can provide you with the recording of our private conversation to prove the entirety of the incident..."

Listening to Zedd's statement in the court, Lauren's eyes widened so much her eyeballs almost popped out. Before the court proceeded, the two of them had met outside, and he even put up a pretence of greeting her with such warm smile, and asked about her well-being!

Unexpectedly, he actually made up such a crooked story. Lauren's was completely dumbfounded. What did he mean that pregnancy could affect a woman's mental functions? What did he mean by he taking the blame for her? Obviously, it was her who had taken the blame for him!

As she didn't have the right to speak, every time she heard a sentence from him, Lauren became angrier. Zedd's nonsense and the way he sensationalized it all caused a buzz in the audience, and she almost blew up in anger.

She clenched her fists so tightly that they cracked. Just when she was so angry, her voice suddenly rang out in the hall.

"That's enough. Is this how you loved me?"

"Lauren, I really love you! Even if it's your fault, I'm willing to go to jail for you! As long as you ask me, I'll take all the blame! After all, you are pregnant with my child!"

"It's good that you know! What's the point of not practicing what you preach? Let's see how you do!"

She couldn't believe her own ears. She had gotten agitated, and Lauren lost control of herself in an instant.

"It's not true! It's not true! I have never had a conversation like that with you! I haven't, I haven't! I've never been with you in the first place. How could I say that the child is yours..."

"You're lying, you're lying!"

"Zedd, you b*stard! You lied to me, and you tricked me once again! This recording is fake!"

How had it become like that?

What she said to him was clearly about getting her finances and real estate property back. How did it turn into him taking the blame for her? No wonder he had said so much before! It turned out that he wanted to affirm and define the lawsuit as her asking him to take the blame for him. She had never said that the child was his!

"Your Honor, the recording is absolutely real. You can get it verified..."

There was a bang on the table, and there was a buzz in Lauren's head. She lost control and wanted to rush over and tear him into half!

Suddenly, the court was in a mess.

The judge slammed the gavel, but for a while he was unable to silence the out-of-control scene.

"Quiet! Defendant, please calm down! We will verify the authenticity of the evidence!"

Hearing that, Lauren was even more flustered. Since he dared to say so, could it be that he had already bribed someone? Suddenly, her whole world was in turmoil.

"Saying and doing something are two different things! Even if you did say that, it might have just been a joke, get it? A joke is not enough to convict you! In front of the law, evidence is the most important thing. Our evidence has not even been revealed yet!"

As his eyes met hers, Lauren suddenly seemed to have felt some reassurance. "I really won't... go back again?"

The word "lose" was already at the tip of her tongue, but she didn't want to jinx herself, so she stopped herself from saying it.

"With me around, I won't let you go back in! Laurie, what you need now is to stay calm!" Willy stroked her hair and said.

"No matter what he says or what his lawyer asks, you have to remember that you are innocent. It's fine if you just tell the truth. If there's anything you don't know how to answer or are uncertain about, then just don't say it! In court, the less you say, the better! That's because someone will say it for you! What do you think we got a lawyer for?"

Placing her in his embrace, Willy murmured gently to her.

"Relax, I will be by your side! No matter the situation, Noah will help you win the case. He has never lost! For the sake of his reputation, he will not let you down! So don't be afraid, don't panic, and furthermore, don't let him influence your emotions and have you on a leash, understand? You didn't do anything to begin with, and you have a clear conscience! The law can't restrain an innocent person! Even though you're being put on the stage, you have to treat yourself as an audience, and just enjoy the show! Enjoy the show, understand?"

Lauren's heart seemed to have been filled with a powerful force all of a sudden. She sniffed and nodded. "Understood! I will just enjoy the show with my eyes, not my mouth!"

She should talk less!

Zedd was really shameless! He actually turned it around and said that she appealed to let him take the blame!

He was such a hypocrite, victimizing himself, showcasing the ugliness and shamelessness of human nature. The twisted fact once again made her recognize him in a different light and draw a new boundary.
