Chapter 132Elara stood up and moved to the witness stand.The room shifted slightly, attention sharpening. This was the moment everyone had been waiting for.The oath was administered as quickly as possible, and she sat down in the witness chair.The prosecutor approached slowly, studying her as if measuring how easily she might break.“You claim the research in question belongs to you?” he cross-examined Elara.“Yes.”“Then explain it.”The question hung in the air. Although it appeared simple on the surface, it was loaded beneath.Elara drew in a deep breath. This was her moment. To show the world that she had not stolen someone else’s work.Her voice was clear as she explained, “The research focuses on cellular reversal. It is not gene editing, and it does not rely on stem cell replacement.”The prosecutor folded his arms, his expression as still as water. “Then what is it?”“It is a controlled biological restoration process.”She turned her attention toward the judge before she c

Chapter 134Elara’s lawyer stood up when it was his turn.The prosecutor had almost buried them alive, but they were not going to give up that easily. They had to buy as much time, but he did not know if they would be able to hold on much longer.He cleared his throat before he began, “Your honor, I would like to defer with the prosecutor on one thing. We are not trying to complicate this case; we just want to make sure an innocent person is not punished for the crimes she did not commit.”The courtroom buzzed, but everything became still after the judge shouted, order!“Defense lawyer, please proceed.”“We have heard an extensive testimony regarding highly advanced scientific processes. Terms and mechanisms that, to many, may seem difficult to evaluate. And yet, within that complexity, one fact remains remarkably simple.”He looked around before he continued, “Understanding cannot be plagiarized.”“The defendant did not present vague or generalized claims. She described, in precise d

Chapter 136Marcus pried Dominic’s hands off him and removed imaginary dust from his coat before he said, “Check your email. Your son sent you everything.”Dominic took out his phone, but before he could open his email, Marcus looked at him and said, “I just hope that after you’ve seen everything, you will continue to trust your family with whatever bullshit they feed you.”He patted Dominic on the shoulder and left. He had done his part as his best friend, so it was up to Dominic to decide who to trust.His family, which kept lying to him, or the evidence in front of his eyes.Dominic looked at his friend’s departing figure, and a frown appeared on his face.He had known Marcus since they were kids, and he was not the type to act recklessly, especially on such sensitive matters.Could he really have been wrong about Elara?When he had just woken up, Elara had called him babe, and she seemed to be so worried about him.Marcus had said that he had created an entirely different person j

Chapter 138At the hospital…Kristine and the rest of the Blackwood family paced up and down in the hospital corridors as they waited for the doctors to come out of the ER.“Maybe I should not have let him get involved with this case. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to him.” Kristine mumbled.“Do you think it has something to do with his memories?” Hannah asked. She was so worried about her son that she could not stop crying.When they saw Dominic’s assistant walk over, Kristine grabbed him and asked, “What happened? Why did your boss suddenly faint?”“Ma’am, I am not so sure about that. He was watching something on his phone, and he said that he did not want to be disturbed. I left him, and when I returned to tell him that the judge had already taken his position, and he should head to the courtroom, he fainted before I could say anything.”“It must be Marcus. He must have shown him something. But what is it?” Kristine tried to think of something, but nothing seemed t

Chapter 140“Your honor, since the charges against my client have been dropped, and she has been proven innocent, she would like to get full custody of her son, Chad Voss.” Elara’s lawyer said to the judge.“What does the defendant have to say?” The judge asked as he looked over at Dominic’s side.The lawyer stood up and spoke, “No objection, your honor.”The judge banged the gravel in his hands and signed the papers before he said, “Full custody of the minor, Chad Voss, granted to the mother.”Elara looked at Dominic, who was sitting coolly in his custom-made suit, and folded her hands in front of her chest.Although she felt nothing towards the man, she was grateful that he had not tried to make things difficult for her.She was really thankful that he was willing to give Chad back to her without back-and-forth fights in court.Actually, Dominic had personally brought Chad to her doorstep, but following the past events, there was no way Elara would have trusted him so easily.She wa
