Hector was a man who specialized in making that kind of money.
Liam didn’t like Hector’s unscrupulous way of doing things, so he didn’t get close to him.
Back in the day, Hector turned the case around by questioning witnesses in court and catching their slip–ups in their statements.
So when he said he wanted to question Celeste, Liam couldn’t help but feel nervous
After the jury’s discussion, the judge agreed
Hector looked directly into Celeste’s eyes, “Ms. Campbell, your file shows that you graduated from T University’s Acting Department three years ago with excellent grades, and you were one of their top graduates. However, you didn’t work after graduation. What have you been doing for these three years?”
Mason frowned
The other party was clearly well prepared.
Liam’s face darkened. Hector seemed to want to divert the case in another direction.
Celeste stared back at him fearlessly, “What I did after graduation… does it have anything to do with today’s case?”
Hector paused, “Not for now.”
“Then I refuse to answer this question.”
“The plaintiff has the right to refuse to answer questions unrelated to the case Defense lawyer, please ask another question.”
Hector nodded and then asked the second question, “According to the information, Ms. Campbell had a bedridden mother for many years.” He paused for a moment, “With your mother bedridden for so long, you must have been very upset, right?”
Celeste’s face darkened. What kind of questions were these?
If it weren’t for being in court, she would have asked him right away. “Would you be upset if your mom was lying in a hospital bed?”
Mason said solemnly, “This question is irrelevant to the case, and we have the right to refuse to answer.”
After the judge agreed, Hector asked the third question.
“Ms. Campbell, have you ever been diagnosed with depression before last July?”
Celeste pursed her lips, and after a while, said, “No.”
Hector smirked, “Ms. Campbell’s mother has been bedridden for years, and she must have cared deeply about this. With her mother’s critical condition, Ms. Campbell was under constant stress. According to the information we have, , in June of last year, Ms. Campbell’s mother was given a critical illness notice, and her mother had a history of depression. So I have reason to believe that Ms. Campbell’s depressive state was due to her mother’s critical condition, her psychological stress, and genetic factors and has nothing to do with my client.”
“Objection!” Mason said with a solemn face, “Our client’s mother, Ms. Caitly
in a vegetative state. She has received critical illness notices dozens of times
a car
the past seven
years ago and was diagnosed as being
years. If our client was depressed because of
Ms. Caitlyn, why did it take six years for the depression to occur? Also, there is no reliable data showing that depression is related to genetics.”
The gallery of the courtroom was buzzing with chatter at this point.
Hector’s speech had laid bare Celeste’s pain for all to see.
Two fans of Sydney sitting in the back saw this and immediately felt a comeback was in sight, discussing excitedly. “I told you depression isn’t good evidence. With so much pressure in today’s society, who doesn’t have some depressive feelings? Using a piece of paper to claim her depression is caused by these comments is just laughable.”
“After her mom’s car accident, where she became a vegetable and stayed in the hospital for many years, how does she not have a job? I’m a bit
curious where her money comes from.”
The person snorted contemptuously, “Where else could it come from With her beautiful face, as long as she’s willing to sell herself, there are plenty of men who would buy. How can she be pure after getting plastic surgery like that?”
As soon as the words were spoken, Liam suddenly stood up and kicked the chair in the row behind him.
The two girls screamed in fright, immediately drawing the attention of the courtroom staff.
Celeste and everyone looked in that direction.
