Pregnant and Abandoned but the Billionaire to the Rescue Chapter 163: Court Proceedings
Jason did not know how to start the court proceedings against Richmond because one of the prime witness which was Nancy was not yet fully recovered.She could not be probed for obvious reasons.And the more they allowed the case to linger, the worse for them.He did not therefore know of they should start without her or not though he planned to get the best lawyer available whatever be the case and he knew that since Richmond had the support of his wife, even if superficially, he was going to get the best defence attorney as well.When he discussed this with Alfred, he knew he was a good lawyer but he recommended someone he knew was better and more experienced than he was. He also advised that there was no need waiting for Nancy to recover her memory before they started the court proceedings before the case was overtaken by events and the evidence would not look or sound as real as it would now that it was still fresh.Arrangements were made and the lawyer, Alfred recommended, Barrist

The court hearing what Rodney had to say about the behaviour of Nancy started murmuring and Campbell's lawyer looked towards the jury and found that the women amongst them were frowning.He had wanted to ask him to tell them what happened on the night Nancy was abducted but he knew that the picture he would paint would be such that the case would be lost even before it began.'No more questions Your Honour'.As Richmond made as though to climb down from the witness box, his lawyer spoke.'Just a minute, Mr. Richmond'.Rodney waited. He and his lawyer had rehearsed what he had to say but since Campbell's lawyer didn't ask the question they were waiting for, his lawyer decided to ask it.'You have been accused of abducting a young pregnant lady on the night of December 28th. Can you really tell us what happened on that day?''Yes, if you please'. He said looking really sad.'I had visited my friend Maze like I said and we had decided to go to the Affluent Bar for some drinks.Afterwards

Mrs Richmond was seething. She was angry that her husband had brought this type of negative exposure to the family.She was going to deal with him. She only hoped that they would win the case. The way their attorney was going about it gave her confidence but she had also heard that Mr. Hoberman was very good and at the last minute when everyone had given up hope, he turned the tables in favour of his clients but she was going to keep her fingers crossed but afterwards, Rodney would be told who was boss. Imagine him going after a girl he had discarded to keep the news away from her, only to go after her later because she had confessed to him that she had known all the while of his affairs and of Nancy's pregnancy.As they drove home, she kept speaking and expressing her displeasure at his recent behaviour.Her father and brothers had deemed it beneath their status to be present at such a proceeding.'Can you tell me the reason you went back to that ant of a girl?' she asked for the nt

The next day, at the appointed time, the court sat again and Jason Campbell was asked to take the stand and he answered the questions to the best if his ability after he had taken the oath.His lawyer had asked him not to display any unwarranted emotion and apart from the anger seen in his eyes, his voice was devoid of emotion until it got to the stage of Nancy calling out to the police to help him which led to her head injury and why she had Amnesia.Mean we hike because of the events at the hospital, his lawyer had advised them to take drastic measures and Rodney, when he was called, though still seething from the row he had had with his wife in the car, had remembered that Phoebe had always been of help to him, not because she was his f as n but because of her selfish purposes.He told the lawyer of her and the lawyer in turn spoke to Phoebe and they both came up with a plan.After Jason's testimony, Alfred was called to the stand and his testimony almost in line with that of Jason

'I am sorry your Honour', but this doctor is lying', Jason said loudly and there was an uproar in court.'Excuse me, Mr. will you tell me now how to do my job or would you want me to hand it over to you so that you could try doing it?'There was laughter all round a d the judge was angry and hit his mantel.'Quiet! he said and everywhere became still.'And Mr. Campbell, if you do not comport yourself, I shall charge you with contempt of court. Now be seated and let's do the business for which we are here and I shall entertain no more interruptions from you'.'But your Honour'....''Sit down or leave this instance!' he yelled.Jason had no option but to sit. It was better for him to be in court and see what happens next than being outside.

While they were still talking, the defence attorney walked by, 'I hope you are going to round off your case now because it is finished. The sympathy of the jury is with Richmond and your star witness has made it impossible for you to do anything further that could influence their decision.Just accept defeat and be done with it and let's save each other's time and the time if the state as well'.Hoberman looked at him with pity but refused to dignify what he had said with a response and when the already furious Jason would have reacted, he held him back, shaking his head against any violent action he might take out on the attorney.The attorney laughed and walked on with a smiling Richmond in tow.'This is what happens in court houses. You do not have to allow yourself to swallow their bait', Hoberman advised Jason. 'This is aimed at lowering the person's confidence and lead the person into making some form of mistakes that will cost the person dearly.Have you thought how this would af
