SWNOVELS Chapter 87
Chapter 87 There Might Be a Twist It was a shame that the audience couldn’t record the trial. Or else, they would have recorded every
second of it and shared it for all to see!
None of them believed that Elisa would be putting up a fight. They were just there for the
entertainment.
The speaker finished his concise presentation on the case.
The calm judge spoke, “Does the defence counsel have any objections against the prosecution?”
Vincent, who had expected the opposition to bring up the points, spoke up confidently, “We object.”
Gareth sat in his seat, but his mind was wandering. His gaze was fixed on Elisa.
Will’s eyebrow twitched as he looked on with amusement.
“We have five points to argue against the prosecution’s charges. Firstly, according to the Contract Law
and the ‘General Principles of the Civil Law’, any properties on the virtual network are protected. In this
case…”
He explained the five points clearly, leaving no room for argument.
The audience felt that Will Darcey would unquestionably lose the case.
When Vincent finished speaking, Elisa seemed unruffled.
“Forgive me for saying so, but the five points that you have presented were all unfounded.”
Vincent paused and smiled at Elisa. If it was Iris, he would have panicked a little.
Mistakes were unavoidable. If Iris were the opponent, she would be able to pick holes in his points and
rectify them immediately.
But no one else could do the same. If anyone else argued that all his points were wrong, Vincent was
certain that his opponent would lose. Making such a move without the vital skills required would be a
death sentence.
The judge showed astonishment on his face.
Rachel pursed her lips. “No one would reject all five points at once. Vincent’s points are right on the
mark. If Elisa wanted to overrule them, not only would she have to have certain verbal skills, but she
must have evidence to back her up. In my opinion, Darcey Group has the short end of the stick here.”
“That’s why this case would be a challenge.” Charli lightly smiled.
Rachel looked troubled. “Sure, it is a challenge. But this affects Elisa a lot. She was a housewife for
three years and could have forgotten quite a bit of stuff about the law. This…”
She sighed.
Forget it. She would lose anyway to Vincent Shane. Let’s just take this as a practice round.
Charli smiled. “Let’s just keep watching. Who knows, there might be a twist.”
Rachel looked at Charli puzzledly. They were doomed to lose in the first place. Why would Charli say
such a thing?
“First of all, according to the Contract Law and Article 1560 of the ‘General Principles of the Civil Law’,
properties on the virtual network are protected. But there are conditions that must be met. Despite
having received multiple warnings, Wickam Group has continued to infringe on Darcey Group’s
interests. It is a violation on Wickam Group’s part. ”
“Secondly, according to the Civil Code, the design plans that Wickam Group had adopted were
plagiarized from Darcey Group. Wickam Group had used the plans without Darcey Group’s permission,
and even fabricated evidence in this project. This is a serious infringement on Darcey Group and a
dishonourable act towards the public.”
