Chapter 379: Chapter 379: They Said You Were Dead (1)
"Silence! Silence!" The judge banged the gavel several times to no avail and had to have the police drag them out.
"Raina North is innocent? How can Raina be innocent?" Aaron Warren tugged at Lawyer Reed’s sleeve, lowered his voice, and quickly said, "You must find a way, we can’t let Raina get away like this!"
Aaron Warren couldn’t accept it, and Brenda Adler in the audience couldn’t accept it even more.
Even the usually composed Susan Kensington’s face turned grim.
They couldn’t accept that Raina had been exonerated at this point!
If Raina was unscathed, how could she divorce Elias Hawthorne! How could the position of Young Madam of the Hawthorne Family be vacated!
No, this is absolutely unacceptable!
Susan Kensington sighed regretfully, "I thought Elias could rid himself of this woman this time. What a pity."
Vincent Hawthorne couldn’t sit still upon hearing that.
No, this time Elias must separate from this woman; otherwise, if she tangled with him for too long, it might affect the fortunes of the Hawthorne Family.
Vincent Hawthorne shot a meaningful glance at Lawyer Reed.
Lawyer Reed received the signal and composed himself, "Your Honor, I now represent Mr. Vincent Hawthorne to file a lawsuit against Raina North for the attempted murder of Hawthorne’s young master, Caden Hawthorne, and Mr. Elias Hawthorne. Here’s the evidence."
Lawyer Reed handed the sorted documents to the court clerk.
The judge took the documents and reviewed them, growing increasingly serious. This was different from the earlier manslaughter; attempted murder was extremely malicious and, if proven, could result in a death sentence.
The judge looked sternly at Raina North, "Miss North, please defend yourself."
As soon as the words fell, a clear child’s voice rang out.
"Mommy!"
A small figure ran in like a whirlwind,
Vincent Hawthorne stood up abruptly at the trial table, "Ba... Baby!"
Baby Hawthorne turned his head at the sound, showing a big smile, "Hello, Grandpa." After saying hello, he ran to Raina North’s side, tugging at her sleeve, "Mommy, when will you be done? I’m waiting for you to take me camping."
"I’m afraid camping won’t work today."
Baby Hawthorne blinked his big eyes and asked in a childish voice, "Why not?"
Raina North looked at Baby Hawthorne’s innocent face, reached out to touch his head, and said, "Because your grandpa just had a lawyer accuse me of trying to kill you and Elias Hawthorne."
"How can that be?" Baby Hawthorne looked shocked, "Daddy clearly went to work!"
With that, Baby Hawthorne took out his phone and quickly made a video call.
The call was picked up quickly, and Elias Hawthorne’s incredibly handsome face appeared on the phone screen.
Baby Hawthorne gleefully said, "Daddy, they all say you’re dead."
Elias Hawthorne’s eye twitched, "Who are ’they’?"
"Uh... let me ask." Baby Hawthorne held up the phone, ran to the plaintiff’s seat, and pointed the phone screen at Lawyer Reed, "Was it you who just said my daddy is dead?"
Elias Hawthorne’s sharp gaze shot out through the phone screen like a knife, making him gasp involuntarily.
Lawyer Reed’s face turned ashen as he felt his legs tremble, "N... no, President Hawthorne, it’s a misunderstanding..."
"Whether it’s a misunderstanding, I’ll have my own judgment. Later, come to The Hawthorne Group; I want to have a good chat with you."
"..." Lawyer Reed felt his scalp go numb. He wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Baby Hawthorne was already running off holding the phone.
