Chapter 143: We’ll Leave Soon
"Boss, Sir Sebastian’s eyes are boring holes into you," Tyron whispered, glancing at the judge. They were seated at the back, while Rain remained oblivious, focused intently on the trial about to begin.
Alexander smirked, "I’m sure he’s dying to know why I’m here. I wouldn’t be surprised if he already has an idea—after all, his father met Rain during the exhibit when she was with me." He shrugged casually.
Sebastian Lane was the son of Chief Justice Darwin Lane, a close friend of Alexander’s father. While they were friends, their bond wasn’t as close as Alexander’s relationship with Eric. Sebastian was also three years older than both him and Eric.
The air in the courtroom was thick with tension as the proceedings began. Alexander ignored Sebastian’s stare and simply had his eyes focused on his wife as she stood at the prosecutor’s table.
Sebastian Lane banged his gavel, his voice resonating throughout the room. "Court is now in session. The case before us today involves serious allegations of gang rape and physical abuse against the defendants. Prosecutor Rain Clayton, you may proceed."
Alexander couldn’t help but smile proudly as he watched Rain exude confidence. She stood tall, her voice steady and commanding as she addressed the court.
"Thank you, Your Honor. Today, we are here to seek justice for Liza Torres, a victim of a heinous crime committed by the five defendants seated before you." She gestured toward the group of young men, their expressions a mix of arrogance and disdain.
"Liza was simply running an errand for her mother when she was ambushed by these men," Rain continued, her gaze unwavering. "She was dragged into an alley and subjected to unimaginable horror. I would like to call Liza Torres to the stand."
Rain turned to Liza, offering her an encouraging smile. "You can do this," she whispered as Liza stood, her hands trembling slightly.
