Two hours later, Judge Channing walked to the courtroom with other judges in tow. He sat down on the bench and said, “Mr Cliff, please stand. I have reviewed the evidence presented by Mr Wells, as well as the closing arguments.I am deeply disappointed in you, Mr Cliff, for violating the Constitution. Therefore, you are hereby sentenced to three years imprisonment.The court couldn't ignore Miss Ball’s testimony even though Mrs Saxon felt that she was lying.There is no enmity between Mrs Cliff and Miss Ball. Mrs Cliff has visited Miss Ball several times in prison, which indicates that they are best friends.Therefore, I believed Miss Ball’s testimony. Why would she put her best friend’s marriage in jeopardy?For obstructing the course of justice, I sentence you to ten years imprisonment without parole. The sentences would run concurrently.”His mother felt dizzy, then she collapsed on the floor, clutching her chest and gasping for air. Fortunately, there were paramedics in the parkin
Michaela shook her head and replied, “Mr Wells, as much as I want Mr Cliff to be punished severely for every pain he put me and my baby through, I don’t think Miss Ball is telling the truth.A few months after I was sentenced to prison, Miss Ball visited me to gloat. During our conversation, not even once did she mention Mr Cliff’s name.She told me that she lied under oath because she was in love with Mr Thorne Ferguson, and I believed her. Hence, I am saying she is lying.I think she is jealous of Miss Ava for living a happy life with her husband and their children while she is locked up in prison. She didn’t want to see her best friend happy.”Ava was stunned when she heard Michaela’s words. She thought Michaela would use Sloane’s testimony to destroy Jeff’s life. She looked at Michaela in a different light. Was Sloane really jealous of her marriage?Owen smiled at her and said, “I don’t have further questions for this witness, Your Honour.” Then he sat down.When Owen was reading S
Jeff was taken aback by an intense hatred in Sloane’s eyes. He took two steps back and said, “Your Honour, I don’t have any questions for this witness.” The police officer approached Sloane, handcuffed her, and then she was taken back to prison.Owen Wells called Archie Lane to the stand. The officer of the court escorted the witness to the courtroom. He sat at the witness’s stand, and then he took an oath.Owen approached Archie, smiling and said, “Mr Lane, thank you for availing yourself to testify. How is your relationship with Mr Cliff?”Archie looked at Jeff and replied, “We used to be best friends. However, everything changed when he accused me of providing Paula’s private affairs to Senior Prosecutor May.I became upset when Mr Cliff told me that he didn’t care if Senior Prosecutor May had a miscarriage or not.At that moment, I realised that Mr Cliff didn’t care about human life. Then I stopped being friends with him.”Owen looked at Archie and said, “Mr Lane, I believe you hav
A day before Jeff Cliff’s trial, Ava visited her best friend, Sloane, in prison. She brought her delicious food from Havana Club.Sloane smiled brightly when she saw her visitor. Ava looked at her and asked, “How are you, my friend?”Sloane’s eyes turned red, and she replied, “My cousin, June, told me that my father is in a critical condition in the hospital.My poor choices brought nothing but grief to my parents. I wish I had never been born.If I had known that Jeff and Paula were rotten to the core, I wouldn't have let them into my life.” Then she sobbed sorrowfully.Ava was dumbfounded. She took the tissue from her designer handbag and handed it to her and said, “I am so sorry, Sloane. I will visit Uncle Ball in the hospital this afternoon.” Sloane nodded her head, then she wiped tears from her face.Ava looked at her friend and said, “Sloane, I know that you are angry at Jeff for breaking my heart, but I won’t allow you to tell lies about him. Please don’t take my husband away fr
Jeff Cliff’s heart was in turmoil. He didn’t understand why Sloane was spouting lies about him because he had never wronged her before. Should he fail to find a good lawyer as soon as possible, he had to kiss his freedom goodbye.Jeff decided to contact one of the brilliant minds in the industry, Damon Steel, to represent him in court.He approached the prison warden and said, “Sir, I would like to call my lawyer. May I please have a phone?” The prison warden took him to the interrogation room, then handed the phone to him.He quickly dialed Damon Steele’s number. When the call was connected, he said, “Hello, Mr Steel. You are speaking to Jeff Cliff. I need your help. Would you be so kind as to visit me at Durban Correctional Services?”Damon didn’t expect Jeff’s call because he was a friend of a woman who embarrassed him in the courthouse. Even though Samson Cage took care of the money he had requested, he still held a grudge against Paula Cage.Damon agreed to visit Jeff in prison. H
Ava watched in a daze as the police officers took her husband away. Her mind went blank. She used to pride herself on being able to read someone’s character. How could she be so wrong when it came to her husband?Ava fell in love with Jeff because he was a man of integrity. After she listened to her husband’s hurtful words, she felt she didn’t know her husband anymore.Didn’t her sister-in-law tell her that her husband was in love with Michaela? Was it all a lie? She regretted giving Jeff a second chance. How foolish she was.Her mother took her hand and said, “Sweetheart, let’s go home.” Then Ava snapped back to her senses. Her mother took her handkerchief and wiped her daughter’s tears.Ava didn’t realize that she had been crying. She vowed that it was the last time she would cry for Jeff Cliff.She looked at her mother and said, “Mom, please ask Daddy to prepare a divorce agreement for me. Jeff is not the person I thought he was.”After Ava uttered those words, she felt as if a heav
