My Destined Lover

“Was bullied?” Marcus stood in front of Laura and slowly tore open the package.

Laura glanced at him, “Kevin told you I was bullied?” It didn’t take much thinking to know it would only come from Kevin.

“Yeah,” Marcus responded lightly, tearing off a piece of bread and passing it to Laura’s lips.

Laura ate it. After a moment of silence, she suddenly smiled. “Mr. Brown, can I assume that this is your way of calming me down by feeding me?”

Marcus’ expression didn’t change as he tore off another piece of bread and handed it over. “Well.” The sound was soft, so soft that it seemed like a mere illusion.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

But the curve on Laura’s lips grew bigger.

…

After a long time, the silent courtroom gradually became a little noisy.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t the lawyer from Baker Mckenzie LLP come over yet?”

“How long has the court been in session? Can’t even do the basic punctuality?”

“Is it because the evidence is not in Laura’s favor that Laura’s lawyer is not coming?”

Along with the whispers on the scene, the comments in the livestreaming room also began to speculate a lot, but they all thought that Laura would definitely lose this lawsuit.

More than 20 minutes had passed.

Some people in the courtroom couldn’t sit still anymore, and a few of them went up to the stage and whispered a few words in the defendant’s lawyer’s ear, and got a nod from him.

The defendant’s lawyer took a small wooden hammer and tapped it gently on the table.

He looked at Laura and said in a polite but cold tone, “Miss Taylor, if your lawyer does not come, you will have to withdraw the charge according to the law.”

With these words, Laura remained calm, but the comments on the livestreaming became more and more frantic.

“I have a guess. Do you guys think this could be Kimberly’s trick?”

“I also just know that if the plaintiff’s lawyer is not present, then the plaintiff is going to withdraw the charge. I think it makes sense.”

“Don’t speculate. I’ll bet it was Kimberly who did it!”

Laura said to the defendant’s lawyer, “We’ve been waiting for twenty minutes, so it’s okay to wait a little longer, right?”

The defendant’s lawyer frowned, but couldn’t say anything to refute it.

Kimberly, who was sitting next to him, leaned back in her chair and gave Laura a smug look.

Laura saw it, but chose to ignore it and turned to the court, “I’m sorry to waste your time, but please be patient and wait, the truth is always more than just time.”

Marcus noticed Kimberly’s implied provocative glance, and he leaned forward to block her sight. He would not allow someone to try to spoil the good mood he had managed to help Laura get.

Seeing that the time was about to come for the appointment, Kimberly picked up her bag that was on her lap and prepared to get up and leave.

“Just wait until Laura withdraws the charge.” Before she could finish her words to her lawyer, the golden doors of the courthouse, were suddenly opened.

“Sorry…” The suit–clad lawyer ran in with a pile of papers in his arms.

He gasped with difficulty and intermittently explained to the numerous curious people who were looking over, “I’m really sorry for the delay because there was a car accident on the road… If there are no other questions, the trial can begin now.”
