Semua Bab The Billionaire's Sinful Affair: Bab 281 - Bab 290

Brody returned to Emmeline's table, his shoulders squared with confidence. Though his expression remained professionally neutral for the benefit of the court, there was an unmistakable energy radiating from him—the triumph of an attorney who knew he'd just scored crucial points with the jury."That went better than expected," Brody whispered as he settled into the chair beside Emmeline, his voice low enough that only she could hear.Emmeline shifted in her seat. Beneath the table, hidden from the watchful eyes of the judge, jury, and her soon-to-be ex-husband, she flashed Brody a quick thumbs-up. Relief softened the tense lines that had been etched around her eyes for weeks."You're brilliant," Emmeline murmured with genuine appreciation warming her voice. "The way you handled that recording... I never thought..." She trailed off, unable to fully articulate how it felt to finally have someone believe her… to have her truth laid bare before the court after months of suffering in silence

The brief interval that followed Judge Harrison's order was filled with the whispered conversations as spectators discussed the unexpected developments among themselves.The low murmur created a background hum throughout the courtroom, punctuated occasionally by a sharp intake of breath or a muffled exclamation as someone shared their theory with a neighbor. Several journalists scribbled furiously in their notepads, while others leaned toward colleagues, exchanging hushed speculations about what this new witness might reveal.Emmeline could feel Richard's eyes boring into her from across the room, his gaze heavy with anger and humiliation. His shoulders were squared defensively as though preparing for a lethal blow rather than testimony. The muscle in his jaw twitched visibly even from this distance, betraying the tight control he was exerting over his emotions.Brody remained standing as he waited for the witness to arrive. He adjusted his tie with ease, the gesture betraying none o

Brody’s attention shifted to Yuna with an almost predatory focus. The slight smile playing at the corners of his mouth suggested he knew exactly how damaging the doctor's testimony had been to the prosecution's case.Yuna’s frustration was evident in both her expression and the defeated slump of her shoulders. The case that had seemed so straightforward was unraveling before her eyes, and there was little she could do to stop it.After Dr. Ross was escorted out, Brody moved to the center of the courtroom with confident strides.He stood facing the three-judge panel, reflecting complete confidence in his position that lent him an almost theatrical presence as he prepared to deliver his argument."From what the doctor said, we can safely conclude that the marriage of the two parties was not consummated.” His voice carried easily through the hushed courtroom, commanding attention from every corner.He gestured briefly toward Emmeline, drawing all eyes to her momentarily before continuing

Emmeline glanced toward the audience seats, where Taehyung sat up straighter in anticipation of his role in the proceedings.His composed demeanor suggested he was well-prepared for this moment."Let Mr. Kim Taehyung come to the witness stand," the judge instructed firmly.Taehyung approached with casual steps. Unlike previous witnesses, he did not repeat the oath, his status as an expert consultant rather than a factual witness exempting him from this formality.After settling into the chair, he faced Brody with attentive readiness."What can you tell us about the relationship between sexual dysfunction and the patient's psychology?" Brody asked in a tone suggesting genuine curiosity despite clearly knowing the answer he sought.Taehyung clasped his hands on the table before him, his posture reflecting the gravity with which he approached his expertise."Most men who suffer from impotence or sexual weakness have an inferiority complex that makes them embarrassed to talk about the subj

Emmeline turned toward him with shock evident in her widened eyes. She had expected him to come up with some explanation or denial not admit the truth so directly.The table between them and her brother suddenly seemed like poor protection from what was coming."The truth will come out anyway," Zavian continued, meeting Emile's gaze steadily. "So there's no point in hiding it."When Emmeline looked back at her brother, she watched surprise transform his features. His mouth opened and closed before he finally found his voice."How did you manage?" Emile's voice broke with a strangled gasp. He inhaled sharply. "How could you have an affair when you're both married?"Emmeline lowered her head when her brother's accusatory gaze fell on her. She stared at her interlaced fingers, unable to meet his eyes."You can hardly call what Emmeline had a real marriage," Zavian remarked with a hint of sarcasm.His casual use of her first name made Emmeline stare at him in surprise. Throughout their acq
