Chapter 156
Before the High Court building, journalists and reporters from every news corporation gathered at the court entrance with their cameras and recorders in hand.
A woman in a blue and black pantsuit, along with a pale blue beret tested the microphone pinned to her black coat before she looked into her colleague’s cameras. At the end of their countdown signal, she smiled and began speaking, “Good morning from all of us at the Latest News Network. I am Tasha Louise, here to report on the corruption charges against four long-serving ministers of the Kingdom. This concerns the Minister of Defense, Alfred Cummings; the Deputy Minister of Defense, Pierre Whitlaw; the Minister of Finance, Marie Martin; and the Deputy Minister of Finance, Patrick Dupont.”
“Last Tuesday, exactly six days ago, the police arrested the ministers for alleg

Lucianne turned and found a little Evie in a light green dress running towards her with opened arms. Lucianne didn’t have to think before bending down to scoop the little girl up. “Hello, Evie. Where’s your mommy?” Lucianne asked with a smile. Evie looked behind her and pointed, and Lucianne saw a frantic mother running in her way. Lucianne then looked at Evie and asked, “Evie, did you tell your mommy where you were running to?” “Mommy knows.” Evie said with no worries or remorse. Lucianne pecked a light kiss on the little girl’s forehead before she said, “Evie, next time, drag mommy along, okay? You don’t want to worry her, and you don’t want to be taken by bad guys, do you?”

Sebastian swallowed a lump in his throat before he uttered, “Not in recent years.”“Hm. When did your relationship with him turn sour?”The prosecution jumped out of her seat and exclaimed, “Objection, my Lord! The question is irrelevant!”Mr Clark explained, “My Lord, the proximity of the accused’s relationship with his son will explain the likelihood of him helping in the acquisition of assets.”The prosecutor argued, “Mr Cummings had already denied aiding the accused in those acquisitions!”Mr Clark counter-argued, “My Lord, it is clear that the accused and the present witness’

The prosecutor got to the point with Alfred Cummings. “Mr Cummings, did your son visit you yesterday?” “Yes.” “Did you ask him to testify against the law?” Alfred glanced briefly at Mr Clark before he uttered, “No.” “Did you ask him to testify for your case?” “Yes, but I didn’t tell my son to lie. I’m a father. Every father’s pride is to raise his children with the highest honor and integrity.” “You insisted that your properties were acquired by your son as gifts. Do you have proof of these transactions?” “I’m afraid that is

“Is she in court today?” Judge Cook asked.“Yes, right over there.” Marie pointed at a young woman in a grey dress.The prosecutor then argued, “My Lord, the prosecution did not receive prior notice of this evidence. I urge the court to adjourn the trial for Ms Martin while we authenticate the document.”Judge Cook calmly replied, “Authentication goes without saying, prosecutor. But I won’t grant an adjournment. Since this document only questions the validity of the audits, the trial can move on to the corruption charges against Martin on government projects.”Mr Clark argued, “Mr Lord, every earning and expenditure made by my client will be reflected by th

“So, cuz. It’s safe to say that we’ve been played on all those projects.” Christian noted in anger before drowning down the coffee in his polystyrene cup as the four of them sat at a table in the court cafeteria. Judge Cook ordered a short recess after Marie Martin fainted at trial.Xandar was as infuriated as his cousin was when he responded, “And to think I was absurd when I thought she or the others who backed her up shared some form of relationship with the companies they voted for. It was so obvious that those companies weren’t the best!”“But why would you dismiss your suspicions, darling?” Lucianne asked innocently as her small hand rested on his lap.With much shame, Xandar took her hand and laced their fingers.

The prosecutor asked with furrowed brows, “Mr Dupont, didn’t you say that you knew about the fund transactions but that you were coerced to perform those illegal transactions?”Dupont faked a smile and answered, “I said that I was coerced, yes. But I didn’t say I had been aware of the transactions.”“So, what did you think you were coerced to do?”“I was told to keep quiet about whatever the Duke was thinking of doing. But I didn’t know I’d be paid to be silent.”“The document I’ve just placed before you shows the list of properties you acquired in the past eighteen years. Tell me, Mr Dupont, do you own them?”&nb

Mr Clark began, “Mr Dupont, in your years as minister, did you ever have direct access to government funds?”“No. I’m only a deputy. Marie is the one with direct access.”“So, you can’t access the funds without her approval?” Mr Clark clarified.“Well, to be fair, neither of us can access it unless the government,as a whole, approves it.” Dupont clearly rehearsed this well-versed answer.“So, the funds which were disbursed were approved by the government?”“Yes, it was to be given to wolf packs. But I have no clue how a part of it ended up in my account. I can tell you I was shock

The next morning, Xandar scrolled through the headlines on his phone while he waited for Lucianne to fix her hair, which already looked perfect to him. After reading a few articles on the corruption case, he smiled, and picked the best one as he approached his beautiful mate. His arms crept around her waist from behind as he handed his phone to her and said, “Have a read, sweetheart.”Xandar inhaled Lucianne’s scent from her neck when she skimmed through the article. It reported on the trial, and reproduced the statement the four of them collectively wrote while they were in the court cafeteria the previous day.When Lucianne reached the end of the statement, her body stiffened. Her widened eyes were still fixed on the screen when she asked, “Why is my name above yours?”
