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?”

Pierre Whitlaw explained nonchalantly, “My wife and her family are extremely successful business people. They gift me all sorts of branded items on various occasions.”The prosecutor asked, “So, you’re saying that the government funds which entered into your account were untouched?”“You clearly have evidence that shows otherwise. Although I admit knowing that the missing Duke channeled some kind of money into my account to force my silence, I do not admit knowing where the money had come from or where it had gone to.”“You didn’t know that the money being channeled into your account was rightfully the government’s?”“No.”&n

Christian linked his cousin after glancing at the infuriated Mrs Whitlaw, ‘Looks like things are going to get interesting from here, cuz. Someone seems to be hiding a mistress, and the wife looks pissed.’‘I did not see that coming.’ Xandar linked in response as his surprised eyes met those of his second-in-command.Christian linked in excitement, ‘Tell me about it! I can’t believe I was a background character of a Whitlaw soap opera that I didn’t know about!’Xandar raised his eyebrows as he linked, ‘Background character? Christian, we’re probably the antagonists in his story.’‘Hm.’ Christian contemplated for a moment and had to ag

Christian complained, “With that whole line of bullsh*t answers and he needs to wait until after lunch to reach a verdict? I bet Russell could decide faster.” Annie glared at her husband and said in a stern, hushed tone, “Tone down, Christian.” The Duke’s temperament cooled to a point where a small smile graced his features as he lifted one of Annie’s hands to plant a kiss on it. Then, he whispered, “As you wish, my Duchess.” Lucianne’s eyes shone when she whispered to Xandar like an excited child, “Look at them, they’re so cute. It’s like getting a front row seat to a romantic movie.” Her body subconsciously leaned into her mate’s, and her adorable demeanor was so irresistible that it made Xandar crave to h
