"Anya, let’s go back."
"Okay." Anya Forrest was indeed too lazy to waste more breath on Aaron Warren, quite afraid of catching his stupidity.
"Raina North!" Aaron suddenly spoke up, "This time I’m waiting to see you fall!"
Raina North turned back to look, Aaron’s smug expression made her feel a bit helpless, yet a bit intolerant as she said, "I advise you to contact Faye Shelby again, the court session is about to start!"
Aaron’s face changed, and he immediately took out his phone.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unreachable..."
He dialed several times in a row, but no one answered.
Aaron’s expression suddenly changed.
Claire North’s face also turned gloomy, and she could not help but say, "Did Elias know, and intercept her in advance to prevent Faye Shelby from attending since the Ghost Doctor’s Vale is preparing to sue Raina for stealing core secrets?"
Aaron furrowed his brows, "President Hawthorne is wise and mighty, he wouldn’t make such a foolish move, right?"
Claire couldn’t help but say, "Earlier, Elias didn’t even care about his own son for Raina, let alone a Faye Shelby."
Aaron’s face grew even darker, and he dialed Faye Shelby’s number once again.
There was never an answer!
Those who had been keeping an eye on the situation gradually sensed something amiss and began discussing it amongst themselves.
The courtroom area was in chaos.
At the defendant’s seat.
Anya and Raina sat together, "No wonder people say if you don’t ask for trouble, you won’t get into trouble. This time I’ve seen it for myself."
Raina shrugged, "You’ll get used to it, it’s just another bickering session."
Anya laughed, "That’s right, it’s merely a squabble; there’s nothing to fear from them, is there?"
The judge entered with the crowd, slamming the gavel. Once everyone quieted down, he turned to Aaron, "Plaintiff, may I ask if Miss Faye Shelby is present and can she produce evidence to accuse the defendant in court?"
Aaron wiped his sweat, "Your Honor, Miss Shelby has not arrived yet, probably delayed by something. Please grant us a few more minutes; I think she’ll arrive soon." Thɪs chapter is updated by NovєlFіre.net
The judge frowned, "Plaintiff, please understand that court proceedings are extremely serious. If the court session exceeds ten minutes, this court can only determine that she has forfeited the trial, and the defendant wins. Do you understand?"
"Understood. I’ll call Miss Shelby right away." Aaron immediately took out his phone and dialed the previous number.
He was too nervous, accidentally touching the speakerphone button, and then the familiar sweet female voice followed.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off."
Aaron felt as if his scalp was exploding.
Others couldn’t help but start discussing.
"What’s going on? Is Miss Faye Shelby not planning to appear in court?"
"Without the plaintiff, this court session likely can’t proceed."
"Raina North sure has good luck; she’s dodged a bullet again."
"Yes, this woman is quite eerie; we better avoid her in the future."
"We don’t have any enmity with Raina North, it’s those who have conflicts with her who should be worried."
Claire North and Brenda Adler’s faces were stiff, as if they both felt implicitly targeted!
The judge said, "The time limit of ten minutes is up. The plaintiff, due to your mentioned Miss Faye Shelby not appearing at any point, I will declare on behalf of the court that she has forfeited the complaint. Do you have any objections?"
Aaron turned to Lawyer Reed for help, but saw Lawyer Reed also had a look of helplessness.
