Toby played two videos.The first showed a conversation between Jessica and Noel."Tonight's target is this man," Jessica was saying. "Here's a dossier on his preferences, so study it and satisfy him."She appeared indifferent as she handed Noel a document sheet, as if it was only natural.Noel took it reluctantly, and her face fell after she read the contents. "Don't worry," Jessica assured her just then. "My people will be watching. They won't let you really be hurt—just play along until then.""Your people are watching?" Noel exclaimed, clearly finding that unacceptable."How else would I get a video for blackmail?"It was clear that Jessica did not want to waste her breath with Noel—when Noel tried to speak further, Jessica told her, "Don't forget who made you board chairman of Sachs Enterprises. You are in no position to negotiate."Noel naturally had no choice but to accept the arrangement, and the video ended.Toby then played the second video, which showed a conversa

Here came the real bombshell! Everyone in the courtroom held their breaths as Toby played the third video, which showed James alone making a phone call."I heard through the grapevine that the authorities received an anonymous tip on John Levine's market manipulation and money laundering. I don't know who it was, but I'm sure they'll reach you soon enough, so listen clearly to what I'm about to say and relay it to Hunter as well.""You and Hunter are both to plead guilty right away and accuse John Levine of being the mastermind. The evidence we have would incriminate him, and he'd never weasel his way out of this, not to mention I'll also pull some strings with the court. Just do what I tell you to, and do not expose yourself at all costs."Don't worry—your prison sentences would be ten years at best, and I have ways to lighten your sentence. You would also be rewarded handsomely, not to mention that I'll be taking good care of your families," James added, though the last part was

John's voice was a little quiet, but he showed no weakness as he stood upright.Sean's gaze was in turn sharp. "I would like to question you regarding your involvement in this case. From any instance between 2018 to 2021, did you already notice Wade Jonas and Hunter Stevenson conspiring against you? Did you know and allow it to happen without any response? You had close ties to the Stuarts, after all."Cordy became tense at that.Sean was clearly leading John into a trap, and John would be charged with misprision if he admitted to it!That line of questioning was simply inappropriate, but Toby did not raise an objection against Sean's leading.He simply stood at his corner, appearing calm.In reality, Toby simply trusted John—even if everyone else was worried that Sean would lure John into incriminating himself, Toby knew John would not fall for it.Moreover, John was able to provide him with so much concrete evidence and at a standard that Toby thought impossible in his twenty

Sean nodded in acknowledgment again. "Doing whatever you could in that situation was indeed your best option."John nodded. "Fortunately, just keeping an eye on Jessica and James alone was enough to cover the truth," he said, and started to connect the dots. "The first recording of Wade Jonas and James my lawyer had shown was actually obtained by having a hacker accessing Wade's phone, after which I singled out James as my target. There, I found the fake IP and dummy account he had under my name, and extracted the list of victims, after which I found the money trail through their bank account notifications on their phone and found the money. Lastly, I used my connection to the Stuarts to find the video evidence I needed."After that, he admitted, "When all of that was done, I anonymously reported the crime."The courtroom was once again left in an uproar once he said that.This had to be the first case of its kind, and would definitely make the history books especially since it w

There was a threatening edge in Toby's words, but the prosecution did not object.And with that, Toby asked Wade and Hunter solemnly, "Have you been involved in impersonating my client while carrying out illegal activities including market manipulation and aiding criminal organizations in laundering money?""Yes," both men admitted."Was everything that you have done exactly as our evidence has proven?" "Yes.""Was James Stuart your co-conspirator and the mastermind behind all your actions?""Yes."Neither would dare to hide anything now."Thank you," Toby said and turned toward Judge Rackham. "With the evidence that my side has provided and the confession of the suspects, I maintain that my client is innocent of any charges placed against him on this trial and thus request that he be released without charge. I have nothing more to add." "Thank you. Please return to your table, defense counsel."As Toby returned to his seat, Judge Rackham announced, "The court will be in re

Cordy blushed even harder, but that was not what she meant! She was just worried about John's health. He looked so frail a gust could knock him off his feet, and he was definitely in no shape to drink!Fortunately, Sam did not keep harassing Cordy and changed the subject. "That said, Johnny still gave up Levine Ventures just to take down the Stuarts… Don't you think it's a little too costly? It took several generations for Levines to establish its success, but Johnny is abandoning it just like that? Doesn't he regret it?""His grandfather would probably be hurting." Bob sighed.Cordy sat beside them in silence, since all of that more or less has something to do with her.Quinn was sharp enough to pick up on Cordy's feelings and turned towards Sam and Bob, snapping, "That's enough. We're still in a courtroom—keep it down."Sam shot her a look in turn and growled in displeasure, "The court is in recess and you're not in charge here. Why do you care if I talk?""Can't you show som

It was an earnest blessing and the satisfaction of getting a good outcome.Cordy heaved a heavy sigh of relief.It turned out that she was not actually as indifferent toward John as she had thought—she was already deeply in love with him, and she was just trying to avoid confronting her feelings. But now, she would not push him away again, ever."The trial is here concluded!" With that, the judges left before everyone else exited the courtroom.Cordy and the others stepped out from another exit.There were many journalists outside, but they were kept outside the courthouse and unable to enter.Cordy waited at an entrance, but soon enough wondered why John was not coming out.Reasonably speaking, he should be out already… Right now, even a second was grilling.As she kept peeking into the courtroom, Sam could not help teasing her, "You're really craning your neck there." Cordy felt slightly embarrassed but did not look away. She wanted to see him sooner.More people s

There were many journalists waiting outside the courthouse when Quinn left, probably waiting for Cordy and John.She took no notice, and strode past them calmly since she never drew much attention. Any attempts to interview her were met with a scowl and sharp retorts that left them dumbstruck.As time went by, the reporters no longer cared about her.But today, just as she was about to leave, one of the journalists stopped her. "Ms. Summer."With that, other journalists began to flock toward them—they must have been waiting for a while, but got restless since the key figures of the trial were not leaving. As such, they had to make do and ask her about the trialQuinn appeared solemn and gave the journalists a cool stare.One of them asked, "Ms. Summer, were you watching the entire trial? As a legal advisor, could you give us a simple breakdown of the trial?"Quinn shot him a look and said forthrightly, "The judges' verdict is the final answer of the trial. That's the verdict, an
