Semua Bab A Life Debt Repaid: Bab 511 - Bab 520

After Fabian was brought back to the courtroom, Toby stood before him and asked, "Mr. Locke, the ledgers I was provided suggest that you were bankrupted under my client's manipulation by December 2020. Why would you only come forward to testify against my client after so long?" Fabian scowled right then, as if there was something stopping him from talking."May I remind you that you are in a courtroom, Mr. Locke?" Toby said sternly. "You are under oath to tell the truth." Fabian inhaled, as if preparing to spill everything right then."I had no choice—John Levine threatened me with my son's future just after he passed the exams and earned a place in a prestigious university in Astonia!" Fabian sounded more frustrated the more he spoke. "He's my only son, and he's always been the pride of our family. John told me that if I sued, my son wouldn't be able to graduate. He even gloated that I'm never getting back my money, and that I should just learn to cope with my loss!""Then why

Here came the real bombshell! Everyone in the courtroom held their breaths as Toby played the third video, which showed James alone making a phone call."I heard through the grapevine that the authorities received an anonymous tip on John Levine's market manipulation and money laundering. I don't know who it was, but I'm sure they'll reach you soon enough, so listen clearly to what I'm about to say and relay it to Hunter as well.""You and Hunter are both to plead guilty right away and accuse John Levine of being the mastermind. The evidence we have would incriminate him, and he'd never weasel his way out of this, not to mention I'll also pull some strings with the court. Just do what I tell you to, and do not expose yourself at all costs."Don't worry—your prison sentences would be ten years at best, and I have ways to lighten your sentence. You would also be rewarded handsomely, not to mention that I'll be taking good care of your families," James added, though the last part was

Sean nodded in acknowledgment again. "Doing whatever you could in that situation was indeed your best option."John nodded. "Fortunately, just keeping an eye on Jessica and James alone was enough to cover the truth," he said, and started to connect the dots. "The first recording of Wade Jonas and James my lawyer had shown was actually obtained by having a hacker accessing Wade's phone, after which I singled out James as my target. There, I found the fake IP and dummy account he had under my name, and extracted the list of victims, after which I found the money trail through their bank account notifications on their phone and found the money. Lastly, I used my connection to the Stuarts to find the video evidence I needed."After that, he admitted, "When all of that was done, I anonymously reported the crime."The courtroom was once again left in an uproar once he said that.This had to be the first case of its kind, and would definitely make the history books especially since it w

Cordy blushed even harder, but that was not what she meant! She was just worried about John's health. He looked so frail a gust could knock him off his feet, and he was definitely in no shape to drink!Fortunately, Sam did not keep harassing Cordy and changed the subject. "That said, Johnny still gave up Levine Ventures just to take down the Stuarts… Don't you think it's a little too costly? It took several generations for Levines to establish its success, but Johnny is abandoning it just like that? Doesn't he regret it?""His grandfather would probably be hurting." Bob sighed.Cordy sat beside them in silence, since all of that more or less has something to do with her.Quinn was sharp enough to pick up on Cordy's feelings and turned towards Sam and Bob, snapping, "That's enough. We're still in a courtroom—keep it down."Sam shot her a look in turn and growled in displeasure, "The court is in recess and you're not in charge here. Why do you care if I talk?""Can't you show som

There were many journalists waiting outside the courthouse when Quinn left, probably waiting for Cordy and John.She took no notice, and strode past them calmly since she never drew much attention. Any attempts to interview her were met with a scowl and sharp retorts that left them dumbstruck.As time went by, the reporters no longer cared about her.But today, just as she was about to leave, one of the journalists stopped her. "Ms. Summer."With that, other journalists began to flock toward them—they must have been waiting for a while, but got restless since the key figures of the trial were not leaving. As such, they had to make do and ask her about the trialQuinn appeared solemn and gave the journalists a cool stare.One of them asked, "Ms. Summer, were you watching the entire trial? As a legal advisor, could you give us a simple breakdown of the trial?"Quinn shot him a look and said forthrightly, "The judges' verdict is the final answer of the trial. That's the verdict, an
