After Rebirth I Married My EX- Husband's (Enemy Laurel)

Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Court Hearing (3)

In the courtroom.

Several people appeared in court one after another to testify.

Including all relevant personnel from the Lambert Group who have been involved in handling this

contract, as well as the individuals involved in privately processing the contract’s financial transactions.

Even the Director of the Department of City Planning appeared in court and confirmed all the details of

his bribery.

The evidence was very substantial.

The human evidence was very abundant.

The charges of tax evasion and bribery against Irvin were basically proven.

Everyone felt that the outcome of this lawsuit had already been determined.

In the eyes of the people, Irvin using inexperienced Hayden to fight the lawsuit definitely meant giving

up. This represents that Irvin definitely committed a crime.

In a solemn and quiet courtroom.

The prosecutor’s lawyer returned to his position.

The judge said to Hayden, “Please defend the prosecution’s allegations on behalf of the defendant’s

lawyer.”

“Thank you, Your Honor,” Hayden stood up from his position.

Everyone focused their gaze on Hayden, and no one believed that Hayden would actually go to court.

Lawyers need experience, not just theoretical knowledge to take up the position.

At this moment in the courtroom, at least half of the people were waiting to see Hayden’s joke.

People thought that he had been too arrogant and too conceited during this period of time.

People expected to see Hayden make a fool of himself.

Bruno clearly waited to see Hayden fail.

After Hayden stood up, there was indeed silence for several

seconds.

He looked towards the audience.

He was obviously looking for someone.

At that moment, Laurel was actually a little nervous.

She was not unwilling to believe Hayden, but at such a crucial moment, she couldn’t help but worry.

Laurel and Hayden locked eyes.

“Oh my God,” Shelley suddenly said beside me, “Why do I feel like he was confessing his love to

you?”

Laurel looked back.

Hayden’s eyes were very affectionate.

In the courtroom, Hayden turned around and spoke in the court, “Your Honor, I plead not guilty on

behalf of my client.”

Hayden said firmly. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone probably didn’t expect Hayden to say such things.

Irvin’s criminal acts have been confirmed.

How could Hayden dare to say that?

Many lawyers‘ speeches were very bold.

Lawyers should not be afraid of being challenged by others.

But few people were as arrogant as Hayden.

No one knew if Hayden would feel ashamed if he failed.

“Quiet!” the judge spoke sternly.

Those mocking voices gradually quieted down.

“Please continue, defense attorney.“”

“Yes,” Hayden said respectfully.

He spoke to the judge, “Just now, the informant Konan Wollen stated the reasons for reporting our

party. However, to my knowledge, the Lambert Group’s construction projects mostly procure

construction materials directly from the Lambert Group. In other words, only a small portion of the

construction materials are provided by contractors. As for the

contracting fees for Marigold Estates, it amounts to 132.8 million dollars. I have thoroughly checked the

materials that the contractor needs to purchase, and even if we use the highest quality materials

available on the market, it would not exceed 48 million dollars. Therefore, there is an element of

exaggeration in the statement made by the informant Konan.”

“I didn’t exaggerate. The construction cost doesn’t only cover the purchase of materials, but also

includes workers‘ wages, daily expenses, and many more! Do you really think that the construction cost

of 132.8 million dollars is my pure profit?” Konan retorted passionately, with a hint of sarcasm.

Hayden glanced at Konan. “Mr. Wollen, please refrain from speaking until you are given the floor.”

“Please control your emotions, the court requires you to remain silent until you are allowed to speak,”

the judge said. sternly.

Konan looked at the judge and nodded. “Yes.”

Hayden continued, “The above is my first doubt about this case. The second is that I just saw the

private bribery agreement signed between Konan and our client, as well as the private contract

agreement signed between Victor and our client. Both of these agreements only have signatures,

without official seals and fingerprints. However, Article 32, Section 5 of the Lexingcester Contract Law

clearly states that contracts without official seals and personal fingerprints cannot be considered legally

valid contracts. Therefore, we believe that these two contracts cannot be presented as evidence in

court.”

The judge concluded, “Contracts without official seals and

fingerprints cannot be considered valid contracts, but it is not sufficient to prove the defendant’s

innocence.”

Hayden did not refute.

He respectfully said, “Your Honor, may I ask the informant at few questions?”

“Allowed.”

He turned around and faced Konan.

Konan looked at Hayden, and couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.

Konan kept herself calm.

Konan heard that Hayden was not a professional lawyer, so he didn’t have to be afraid.

“Mr. Wollen, did you just say that you had two collaborations with the Lambert Group?” Hayden asked.

“Yes,” Konan replied.

“May I ask who was the person you primarily collaborated with before?”

“Oscar Martinez, an employee of the Construction

Department at the Lambert Group.”

“So, it wasn’t our party involved, right?”

“Of course not. Irvin is the Chairman of the Lambert Group. How could I casually meet him?”

“If that’s the case, why would our party trust you and make a

private agreement with you to bribe the Director of the Department of City Planning, when our party

and you were completely unfamiliar with each other?”

Konan was stunned for a moment.

He thought that as long as he answered according to the prepared lines, it would be enough.

The current problem has clearly exceeded his range of

answers.

“How come you can’t answer this question?” Hayden pressed aggressively.

“I just said it earlier, it was because I heard that the Lambert Group wanted the land of Marigold

Estates, so I got involved. They promised me that if I helped them, I would be given the construction

project of Marigold Estates. That’s why I met. Irvin. Later, Irvin agreed to let me contract Marigold

Estates, but he also gave me a condition. He asked me to come up with 3.2 million dollars to bribe the

director of the

Department of City Planning, otherwise my work would be hindered,” Konan replied calmly.

“So, Mr. Wollen, were you the one who signed the agreement with our party in person?”

“Yes,” Konan insisted firmly.

He felt that he had just answered very logically, so now he is full of confidence.
