Chapter 109: Grand Moresi Auction House [Christian POV]
One Week Later.
"Why hasn’t he been put into jail yet? We’ve provided more than enough evidence about his abuse!" I roared over the phone.
"Christian, trust me, I’ve been back and forth with the lawyer every day this week. There are just too many alibis to sort through. I also suspect the Moresis are using all of their connections to get them to drop the case," replied Zach on the other end.
I felt like smashing something. I promised Leslie that I would take care of the situation, but even after gathering concrete evidence and testimonies from Karl’s previous abuse victims, he was still walking freely on the streets.
"I’m sorry, man. I’m doing everything I can with the legal team that you sent me. They’re still fighting, hopefully the next hearing will be in our favor," Zach sighed.
I knew better than to take out my anger on Zach, so I took a deep breath, "Keep me updated. I have to go. Today is the season launch, and I’m going to do my best to dig for evidence while I’m there."
"Alright, man. Let me know if there’s anything else I can do," said Zach before hanging up.
I put my phone into my pocket and looked at myself in the mirror. Tonight’s event wasn’t scheduled until the evening, but as a representative of Sophia, I needed to show up earlier.
Today, I opted to wear a dark navy blue suit since I knew that the entire collection was centered around sapphires. On my left wrist was the watch that Leslie purchased for me, matching the rest of the silver and sapphire accessories that I was wearing.
