A Lawsuit Next Door
On the very first day after I moved into the neighborhood, my neighbor, Fiona Harper, took me to court. She stood in the courtroom sobbing uncontrollably, accusing my son, Lucas Cole, of assaulting her daughter, Daisy Harper.
"My Daisy just turned eighteen, and she was ruined by that sick pervert, Lucas! A piece of trash raised without morals like him deserves the death penalty!"
Her daughter also insisted it was my son. "Lucas said if I did not take off my clothes, he would strangle me... I was so scared..."
The moment those words were spoken, the spectators acting as the jury erupted in righteous fury, angrily demanding severe punishment for my son.
"Animal! Lucas is nothing but an animal!"
"Punish him harshly. Do not let that demon get away!"
Then the judge summoned my son to appear in court.
Everyone present was stunned into silence.
