After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543 The Trail (3) Defence

In the courtroom, Hannah simply stared at Oscar being taken to the position.

He slightly raised his head and happened to see Hannah.

As they looked at each other, tears welled up in Hannah's eyes.

But Oscar replied with a smile of composure.

He didn't seem to have a clear understanding of the current situation.

Susan couldn't help sighing when seeing him, "He looks so gaunt and haggard. I can barely recognize him."

Swallowing down her sadness, Hannah struggled to compose herself.

"It must be quite torturing for a highborn gentleman like him to spend his days in prison. His muscular figure must have been worn out. What a pity!" Susan murmured to herself. As always, she let out such eccentric comments.

"But well, I gotta admit that he still looks darn handsome even though he appears so gaunt like that." Susan continued to make remarks, "He used to make me feel like he had been a playboy mixed with a kind of ruffian manners. But he somehow becomes much more refined, self-possessed and dashing. I don't even notice when he started to change."

Though her remarks sometimes sounded a bit weird, Hannah still got to admit that they perfectly fit into Oscar's changes.

Before that, she shared the view with Susan that Oscar was a ruffian though with a charming look.

But now she started to notice that he was different from people's common impression of him.

The truth was that he appeared rather well-bred and elegant.

Speechless, Hannah felt like her sadness somehow got dissipated by Susan's amusing remarks.

But still, she fixed her eyes on Oscar, who showed no fear and even tried to comfort her.

The tougher he appeared, the more worried Hannah felt.

She worried that Oscar was struggling to maintain his tough look.

While they were gazing at each other in silence, the Wells had all arrived including Robert, Venus, David and Thomas.

They had been paying full attention to the case while keeping in touch with Hannah.

But Hannah didn't have much to inform them.

So every one of them looked rather agitated.

The opening of the court session took place at 9 AM.

After all, the proof seemed too conclusive to argue.

"Silent!" the judge huffed seriously.

Soon, the court fell into silence.

Josh continued, "The defendant denies the charge of bribery. All the evidence against him should be fabricated. Firstly, according to the statement of the prosecution, the bribery was worth more than fifty million, which should be rather unreasonable. The defendant has been born privileged enough to despise that sum of money. Here is the statement of the property of his family. The Wells, known as the head of the TOP four families in Kensbury City, owns wealth worth more than hundreds of billion, compared to which the bribery of fifty million seems less worth a penny."

"Besides, here is the statement of the defendant's actual consumption. Ever since his induction into the City Hall, his consumption has greatly contracted after he pays more attention to both work and family. Before marriage, the defendant's monthly consumption had ever mounted to even more than fifty million. Here is an example. The defendant has ever spent thirty million as a giveaway during an auction. Such being the case, it appeared less possible that he would be willing to take the risk to receive the bribery of only fifty million." Josh argued firmly.

Susan found it quite amusing, "If I am not mistaken, you must be the reason accounting for him spending the thirty million at that time."

Hannah fell into silence.

Of course, she still remembered he spent the money on the sapphire to offer her during that charity auction.

She felt like he must have been planning to pursue her love a long time ago.

Josh paused and then continued, "As for the charge of rape, it's nonsense. Everyone in Kensbury has been fully aware of how appealing he has been to ladies. Are you sure a gentleman like him with the such charm would have to rape another lady?"
