Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Have You No Shame! (Part 1)
As the lazy voice sounded next to her ear, Anya Forrest turned her head and looked at the young man in front of her, who seemed to be about twenty years old. She raised an eyebrow, "Felix Hawthorne."
"That’s right. The beauty knows me." Felix Hawthorne sat down next to Anya Forrest with a very familiar air.
"Who hasn’t heard of Third Master Hawthorne’s famous name?"
"Of course, I’m that famous." Felix Hawthorne was quite confident. He leaned closer to Anya Forrest. "Beauty, you haven’t answered my previous question yet."
Anya Forrest raised her chin. "There’s a judge sitting in this courtroom. Soon enough, we’ll know who’s right and who’s wrong."
"Makes sense." Felix Hawthorne nodded in agreement. "Beauty, you’re really smart."
Anya Forrest said nothing.
Felix Hawthorne couldn’t help himself. "Beauty, why aren’t you speaking? I just complimented you. Shouldn’t you respond to me? Hey, pay me some attention, will you?"
Anya Forrest glanced at Felix Hawthorne. "You’re just a young punk trying to flirt with women too soon."
"Damn! That’s an insult." Felix Hawthorne almost jumped up when he heard that. "Not to mention the girls I’ve flirted with, I could fill a platoon with the girls I’ve slept with, okay?"
Anya Forrest looked at Felix Hawthorne’s proud demeanor and glanced at him. "Is that really something to be proud of?"
"Of course..."
Under Anya Forrest’s gaze, Felix Hawthorne’s tone inexplicably weakened.
Lawyer Reed couldn’t help but frown. "Miss North, could you be explicit about which part of my statement you object to?"
"Sure," Raina North said lazily, "I object to your entire statement."
As soon as she said this, Aaron Warren couldn’t help but jump up and curse angrily, "Raina North, have you no shame! The evidence is overwhelming, and you’re denying it in front of the deceased’s family! Have you no shame?"
"Order!" The judge sternly scolded, forcefully banging the gavel.
Aaron Warren was startled, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.
He gritted his teeth hard, trying to contain his raging fury.
Raina North was indeed more resilient and bold than he had imagined, but what good would it do?
Did she really think that just because she said it wasn’t, it wasn’t? The courtroom is a place that demands evidence!
Lawyer Reed looked at the judge. "Your Honor, may I request the defendant to provide evidence for her objection to my statement?"
The judge nodded. "Yes. The defendant is now requested to present her evidence."
Raina North stood up, looked at the judge, and said, "The plaintiff’s lawyer based all statements on the fact that the deceased died from poisoning after consuming a formula I supposedly supplied. However, I have carefully examined the deceased’s body and found that the cause of death was not due to the new drug. They did not consume the anti-cancer drug I developed at all."
What?
It wasn’t the new drug that Raina North developed?
How is that possible?
Everyone present was stunned.
Ignoring their shock, Raina North took out two test reports and two sealed small plastic bags, handing them to the clerk.
She said, "Here are two test reports. The one on top is the test report for the new drug I developed. The one below is the test report for the drug residue found in the deceased’s gastrointestinal tract after digestion. Although the names of the drugs in these two reports are the same, their components are quite different.
Bag number one contains the new drug I developed, and bag number two contains a leftover pill I found in one of the deceased’s pockets. The composition of this pill matches the drug residue in the deceased’s stomach according to the test report. This proves that the alleged death caused by the new anti-cancer drug has nothing to do with me."
