Chapter 451: The Chaos in the Courtroom
When the men talked about Nicholas Wu, the ladies in the lounge conversed about Bella. It started when Evelyn brought up the latest development in the teenager’s case against Chase.
At the same time, the little Calliope and Amelia were too immersed in playing dolls. Vernon and Lucille’s firstborn introduced her new plushies to her favorite cousin.
The two dumplings played by themselves while the ladies were engaged in their chatter.
"If only you could see what Bella did to that scum two days ago! Wow~ I never expected a demure girl like her to kick his crotch!"
Evelyn’s words garnered everyone’s attention. Her voice was loud and clear in the lounge.
Leslie, Lucille, Harper and Old Madam Xu wondered what caused such a scene. They grimaced as they unconsciously imagined Chase getting his family jewel hit by Bella.
Chase and Bella attended a court hearing two days ago. Evelyn tagged along after disguising herself. Because Bella was underage, the chamber was off-limits to the public.
A worried Evelyn asked Bella beforehand about testifying without Chase’s presence nearby but, the teenager politely declined the offer. Her resolve led Evelyn to compromise.
Bella entered the courtroom without her mother and younger brother. She persuaded them to wait outside, hoping to spare the horrifying details from reaching them.
Mrs. Yao and Bella’s younger brother had to agree. They sent her off into the courtroom with earnest prayers.
"Did he try to harass that poor girl?" Old Madam Xu guessed, her wrinkly face scrunching up in displeasure, "Didn’t the officer guard him closely?"
