Chapter 6

작가: Cocojam
During the one-hour recess, the courtroom erupted.

The loud chatter was filled with undisguised mockery aimed at Liam and Chloe.

The Millers charged toward me but were blocked by the bailiffs. Mr. Miller pointed at me, his finger trembling.

"Ava, what are you trying to do? Are you trying to destroy the Miller family?"

Mrs. Miller's perfectly applied makeup was cracking. "Ava, I'm begging you, please stop this!"

I sat at the plaintiff's table, organizing my evidence for the next round, not even looking up.

Liam's voice appeared in front of me.

"Ava, why? Why would you betray us?"

"Just because we gave Chloe the Blackwood case, you're going to fight us to the bitter end?"

I kept sorting my files, my head down.

"A reminder," I said, my voice pure ice. "You kicked me out."

"That's because you..." Richard started to argue.

"Because I questioned Chloe's ability?" I finally looked up, my gaze cold. "Or because I got in the way of your perfect little plan?"

Margaret opened her mouth but couldn

    "It was you!" Chloe's voice was hysterical. "You told me Ava was jealous of me!""You said if I just took this case, I could finally crush her!""You promised you'd make me the one and only daughter of the Miller family!"Onlookers started recording with their phones, capturing every single word."What are you saying?" Liam tried to cover her mouth. "Are you crazy?""I'm crazy?" Chloe pushed him away, her eyes filled with venom. "Do you know how many followers I gave up for you? How many times I had to play the victim for you?""And now that things have gone south, you're trying to pin it all on me?"She pointed at a camera, her voice shrill."Everyone, this is Liam Miller! He acts all gentle, but he's the most vicious man you'll ever meet!""He told me to seduce him! He told me to act like a victim! He said it would make Ava go soft!"The video went viral.Then, to make matters worse, a hacker revealed that Chloe's Yale Law degree was a complete fabrication.She had never even been to

    The next morning at 6 AM, my phone rang incessantly, jolting me awake.Ethan's voice came through the line, urgent and tense. "Don't go downstairs, and don't drive your car!""What?" I sat up in bed."Turn on the TV. NBC morning news."I fumbled for the remote and turned on the television.The screen showed footage of me walking out of the courthouse yesterday, overlaid with a sensational headline:"GREEDY LAWYER BETRAYS BENEFACTORS, SELLS CONSCIENCE FOR CASH"The female anchor's voice was sharp."According to inside sources, Ava Miller has a long history of embezzling client funds and has had improper relationships with multiple judges..."I let out a cold laugh.Damon's methods were indeed professional. He had woven a perfect web of lies overnight."It gets worse," Ethan's voice came through the phone. "Someone tampered with your car.""What do you mean?""Someone cut your brake line," he said. I could hear the raw fear in his voice. "If you had driven home last night, you'd be a cor

    As the car pulled away from the courthouse, the neon lights of Manhattan began to flicker on.I leaned back in the seat, finally feeling a bone-deep exhaustion I hadn't felt in a long time.Ethan had one hand on the steering wheel. With the other, he offered me a silver flask."Whiskey?"I shook my head and pushed it back."I quit. Drank too much in a past life. Bad for the liver."His hand paused. "What did you just say?"I calmly took the flask from his hand, placed it in the glove compartment, and said lightly, "Nothing. It's just... everything that happened today feels so unreal.""Like it happened in a past life..."Seeing my normal expression, he seemed to believe it was just a slip of the tongue.The car was quiet for a moment before he let out a low, muffled laugh."You were sharp as a tack in there today. You really live up to your nickname, 'Scalpel Ava.'"It was a name people in our circle used. Half admiration, half criticism.It meant I only took cases I knew I could win.

    Outside the courthouse, the sunset was the color of blood.Mrs. Miller was holding up Mr. Miller, whose face was as gray as a corpse.Chloe followed behind them, sniffling. Her shiny, rhinestone-covered scooter was nowhere in sight.So she can walk just fine, I thought to myself.Liam rushed up to me, his eyes bloodshot."Ava, are you happy now?""For one case, for a moment in the spotlight, you let the Miller family, our law firm, go down in flames?"The mask of the gentle society wife shattered. She lunged at me, screaming like a wild animal."You ungrateful snake! The Miller family raised you for twenty years, and this is how you repay us?"I stopped walking.I turned around slowly and looked at the three of them."The best education?" I let out a small laugh. "You mean forcing me to turn down an art scholarship to go to law school?""Because your ideal daughter was supposed to be a lawyer, so I had to become one?"Margaret froze. "That... that was for your own good...""For my own

    His chair slammed into the railing behind him with a loud crash.His face was beet red, his finger trembling as he pointed at me. "Ava, do you have any idea what you're doing?""She's a traitor!" Margaret shrieked, her voice echoing through the courtroom. "She betrayed the Miller family!"Richard was shaking with rage. "Twenty years! We raised you for twenty years! And this is how you repay us?"Chloe's eyes were wide, her crystal pendant clinking as she trembled."How could you stand with them?" Her voice was shrill. "Their energy is so broken! They're all bottom-feeders and parasites!""They'll pollute your soul!" she continued to scream. "Ava, you've been blinded by dark forces!"The judge slammed his gavel. "Silence!"The loud crack silenced the room instantly."This is a court of law, not a flea market!" the judge's voice was severe. "Anyone else who disrupts these proceedings will be held in contempt!"The three of them at the defense table finally sat down, but their eyes were s
