Chapter 376: Chapter 376: Hoping Raina North Divorces Big Brother (Part 2)
"Don’t worry, I will definitely behave," Felix Hawthorne propped his chin with his hand, looking at Raina North.
Beautiful.
Truly beautiful.
Honestly, for a young master like him born with a silver spoon, he’s seen beautiful women like fish crossing a river.
But he had never seen anyone like Raina North.
Beautiful in a unique way, vibrant and full of life.
Hmm, the girl next to her is not bad either, she looks like a gentle lady from a noble family, but when she confronted those reporters earlier, she really showed her claws.
Felix Hawthorne felt his heart was restless, this friendship is great, they’re close and in sync, if they were in bed...
Hehehe...
Just thinking about it made Felix Hawthorne drool uncontrollably.
No, no, he has to think of a way to get his brother to divorce Raina North quickly.
Only if they get divorced can he pursue Raina North.
If not, even if he had the courage of a lion, he wouldn’t dare to go after his brother’s woman.
...
As everyone harbored their own thoughts, time passed little by little, and it was time for the court hearing to begin.
The judge and the clerk, accompanied by the jury, took their seats.
The plaintiffs consisted of five families, a large and sobbing group.
Compared to the commotion on the other side, the defendant’s seat where Raina North sat was much quieter, with only herself, and Anya Forrest could only sit on the side as family.
Raina North propped her chin with her hand, listening to the plaintiffs cursing her tearfully and with various accusations.
To be honest, she could learn quite a few new words.
Raina North listened with great interest, but the judge was impatient and banged the gavel: "Order, order, please have the plaintiff’s lawyer make their statement."
Lawyer Reed adjusted his clothes and stood up: "Yes, Your Honor."
He cleared his throat and began speaking slowly and deliberately.
An hour and a half.
Lawyer Reed truly deserved his reputation as a top-notch lawyer, not pausing for a moment, his arguments were clear, evidence presented in an orderly manner, convincing and logical, even a layman could understand clearly.
Lawyer Reed turned to look at Raina North, pushing his glasses up his nose: "Miss North, we have presented all our evidence and you have acknowledged it, is there anything you wish to defend yourself with?"
Raina North flipped through the evidence in front of her, neatly organized, pleasing her obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she praised: "Lawyer Reed, you really did your best, such meticulous preparations. Not bad, very competent. However, I’m sorry, I still do not believe I am guilty."
Lawyer Reed wasn’t angry, saying: "Miss North, there’s something you might not have understood, today it is not about whether you think you are guilty or not, but how the judge will rule?"
Raina North nodded: "You are right, but there’s one thing you got wrong. That is, the death of these five people has nothing to do with me."
As soon as Raina North said this, the whole place erupted.
"Wow! Raina North really dares to say it! She’s not admitting it! Is she trying to deny it?"
"Ridiculous, can such a thing just be denied?"
"I really don’t know what’s going on with The Veridian Institute of Medicine, letting such a woman work there, and even more absurd to let her lead some research group from the start. If not for this, things wouldn’t have reached this point. Five lives, those are five lives! Doesn’t she have nightmares when she sleeps at night?"
"What about lives? What do lives mean to the likes of this beast?"
Anya Forrest, sitting in the jury box, listened to people angrily cursing Raina North and couldn’t help shaking her head.
"Beauty, why are you shaking your head? Do you also think Raina North is too much?"
