The judge remains quiet, her expression inscrutable as she weighs Rick's request. After what feels like an eternity, she finally shakes her head, her voice cutting through the silence like a gavel striking wood. “Objection denied. The question Mrs. Becky asked is relevant to the court case and does not in any way disrupt your client's privacy. Please go on with the questioning, Mrs. Becky.”With that, she turns her attention back to Becky, who sits poised and ready, her eyes glinting with determination. Rick, now visibly defeated, lowers his gaze, shoulders slumping as he returns to his seat. “Thank you, your honor,” Becky replies, her tone smooth. She turns her full attention back to Evans, whose face now clearly betrays his annoyance with the judge’s decision. His jaw tightens, and I can see the muscles in his neck tense as he shifts uncomfortably in his seat, clearly grappling with the weight of the moment.“Please, can you tell the court about your relationship with Miss Alice?”

The judge nods, granting Becky permission to continue, and she takes a moment to gather her thoughts, feeling the weight of the courtroom's attention on her. “This case was a stalking case,” she begins, her voice steady yet filled with the urgency of the matter at hand. “Miss Alice claimed that she was being stalked by Mr. Evans, and that’s clearly evident by her signed testimonial on page 2.” She gestures toward the document, her fingers brushing over the pages as if to emphasize their significance. “And the court ruling on page 5 explicitly asks Mr. Evans to keep his distance from her,” she adds, her tone firm, underscoring the gravity of the situation. She pauses once more, allowing the judge the necessary time to examine the evidence she has presented. “From this evidence, we can clearly see that Miss Alice issued a stalking case against Mr. Evans, with Mr. Elvis and me as the lawyers handling the case under the authority and instruction of Mr. and Mrs. Rique,” she states, her

Becky nods, her curiosity piqued. “Thank you for that explanation. Could you give a breakdown of your role in relation to signatures?”Elle nods, her expression serious. “My job is to get every important communication made by the CEO and the managing director,” she begins, her tone steady. “Part of my job is basically to ensure that signatures are not falsified, thereby preventing fraud,” she explains, her voice confident as she lays down the intricacies of her role. “As you can imagine, signatures are a critical component of our operations. I meticulously verify each one, ensuring that every document is authentic and that the integrity of our communications is upheld”.“This process not only protects the organization but also fosters trust among our stakeholders,” Elle adds, her passion for her work evident as she delves deeper into the importance of her responsibilities.“Thank you, Elle. Your honour, I’d like to provide another set of evidence regarding this case. May I approach

“If you look closely at the evidence provided by Miss Alice’s lawyer, a few glaring discrepancies stand out. You’ll notice that there is no payment instruction attached to the contract, which is a crucial component in our standard procedure”.“This omission raises immediate red flags regarding the legitimacy of the agreement. Furthermore, if you examine the contract evidence they submitted, you’ll see that there are only two signatures present. One is from the homeowner or agent, which is expected, but the other is the falsified signature of Mrs. Lara”. “Which is funny because the contract evidence provided by Miss Alice's lawyer does not even include Miss Alice's signature. This is quite peculiar; after all, a contract should at least bear the signature of the person to whom it pertains”. “It’s almost as if they expect us to overlook this glaring omission, which raises serious questions about the validity of the entire agreement”. “From the evidence I have provided, I can confiden

Rick, visibly taken aback, hesitates for a moment, the defiance in his posture wavering as he processes her words. He finally lowers himself back into his seat, the chair creaking under the sudden shift, and the judge’s piercing gaze remains fixed on him, ensuring her command is respected.His face clearly shows his dissatisfaction with the outcome of his interruption, the tension in his jaw and the slight furrow of his brow betraying his frustration. However, he chooses to remain silent, the weight of the judge's warning hanging over him like a dark cloud, making him acutely aware that she might just follow through on her threat.“Please continue, Miss Elle,” the judge says, leaning back against her chair, her demeanor shifting slightly as she prepares to listen. Elle nods appreciatively, her confidence bolstered by the judge’s attention. “Thank you, your honor. As I mentioned earlier, there are notable differences in the signatures”. “Mrs. Lara’s signature consistently features he

“Miss Rita, please answer the question. Kindly remind the court of your relationship with Mrs. Lara,” she states, her tone constrained.“Oh, sorry,” Rita replies, her voice coming out a bit too loud as she snaps out of her thoughts, a flush creeping up her cheeks. The momentary lapse in focus seems to resonate in the hushed silence of the room, and she takes a deep breath to steady herself. “I’m currently the personal assistant of Mrs. Lara Rique at SignaBook,” she says, putting on a smile that feels slightly forced, as if she’s trying to ease the tension that has settled heavily around her. Becky nods, her expression serious yet encouraging, “And could you tell us the basis of your employment, as we all understand that Miss Alice was the former personal assistant?” Her question hangs in the air, prompting Rita to gather her thoughts. The mention of Alice’s name seems to evoke a flicker of hesitation in Rita’s eyes, but she quickly regains her composure. Rita nods, her gaze traveli

Becky shrugs, a wide smile spreading across her face, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Why don’t you tell me about the personal relationship you have with Miss Alice?” she prompts, her tone edged with seriousness. “And remember, only the truth is tolerated at this stand,” she adds, leaning in slightly as if to emphasize the weight of her words. The atmosphere shifts, the air charged with anticipation. Becky’s smile, though bright, carries an undercurrent of challenge, inviting Rita to step out of the shadows of ambiguity and into the light of honesty. Rita turns her head to face Alice, her expression a mix of uncertainty and concern, but Becky doesn’t stand for it. She immediately corrects Rita, her voice cutting through the tension like a knife. “Please face me. I’m the one asking the questions here, not Miss Alice,” she instructs, her tone firm and unwavering, a clear signal that she means business. Rita hesitates, her brow furrowing slightly as she processes the command. Slowl

“The next person I would like to call to the stand is Miss Kelly,” Becky states, her voice steady and authoritative as she folds her hands behind her back, exuding an air of calm confidence. She stands tall, patiently waiting for Kelly to make her way to the stand, her eyes scanning the room as she prepares for the next phase of the proceedings.Kelly walks briskly, her pace almost too quick for the moment. In her haste, she miscalculates her steps and nearly stumbles, a look of panic flashing across her face. Just in time, Becky’s quick reflexes kick in, and she reaches out, grabbing Kelly by the elbow to steady her. The tension in the room dissipates slightly as Kelly regains her balance, a sheepish smile replacing her earlier anxiety.“Be careful,” she says, her voice ringing out clear enough for the court to hear, yet soft enough to convey genuine concern without appearing overly dramatic. Kelly meets her gaze, nodding appreciatively, “Thank you,” she replies, her tone a blend

Becky watches as Kelly takes a deep breath, her shoulders relaxing just a bit. “Alright, Miss Kelly, please explain to the courtroom the hiring process for Miss Rita,” Becky requests, moving slightly closer to Kelly.Kelly nods, gathering her thoughts before she begins her narration. “Miss Rita was recommended to me by Miss Alice,” she states, her voice steady but soft, pausing momentarily as she scans the courtroom, taking in the faces of the jurors and the judge, each one a reminder of the importance of her words. “After Miss Alice was promoted and a new personal assistant was required, Miss Alice came to me saying she knew someone who was the perfect fit for the job”. Kelly continues, her voice gaining strength as she recalls the moment. “I remember feeling a wave of relief wash over me because we already had other types of hiring to do, and the last thing I wanted was to add another lengthy recruitment process to my plate”.“So, when she mentioned Miss Rita, I felt a spark of ho

Becky nods thoughtfully, her brow furrowing slightly as she processes the information. “Thank you for that clarification. Please tell the court the usual recruitment process for all staff and kindly highlight the specific steps that were not performed for Miss Rita,” she inquires, her tone steady and professional.Kelly takes a moment to gather her thoughts, her expression serious. “The recruitment process entails three main sections: the interviews section, the documents section, and the background check section. Let me break it down for clarity,” she states, her voice firm as she begins to elaborate. “First, we conduct interviews to assess the candidate's qualifications and fit for the role. This involves a series of questions designed to gauge their skills and experiences. Next, we have the documents section, where we require essential paperwork, such as identification and proof of qualifications, to ensure that everything is in order.”She pauses, making eye contact with Becky to
