Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)
Chapter 1025

For someone not involved, it would be impossible to understand her resentment and anger at the moment.

In an instant, Lauren's chest began to vibrate with anger. It was just so infuriating!

She could fall in love once and be deceived by his sugar-sweet words, but how could she fall for it a second time? How could one not be annoyed if one fell down twice in the same spot? Thinking of it, Lauren somewhat lost control of her emotions again and wanted to explode.

However, at about the same time, a warm palm had comfortably covered half of her head, and her hair was smoothed out. In an instant, her restless heart seemed to calm down a little bit. At that moment, Willy spoke up again in his calm and trustworthy voice.

"Losing control is a big taboo! At time like this, what's required from you is patience! Laurie, you must remember that you are innocent, and justice will prevail! No matter what evidence he presents, I can help you clear your name. He won't be able to put you in a bad light, and..."

Lowering his head and approaching her ear, Willy whispered, "If you don't do it, you won't die! The more he is like this, the more I will make him suffer!"

Straightening up and hugging her, Willy once again dropped an encouraging kiss on her forehead. "So, trust me! All you have to do is to show the same calm expression you had on when we first met, emotionless and still, like you wouldn't care even if the whole world collapsed on you. Do you understand?"

As long as she didn't interrupt, he believed that any problem could be easily solved by Noah. His brain worked differently from other people. He was agile and could be even shiftier!

Feeling reassured, Lauren nodded her head agreeably: "I will remember it! I won't lose control again!"

Subconsciously touching her belly, Lauren clenched her fist a little again.

Zedd was an animal who would stop at nothing! In order to frame her, he was able to compose such a set of credible nonsense, when obviously she was the victim... Suddenly, Lauren gritted her teeth till it could be heard. No matter what the result was, she wouldn't let him go! He was such a bully!

Looking at the table below, Willy dotingly stroked

her hair once more.

"It's almost time, we should also go back out. With me around, you don't have to be afraid of anything! I'm watching you from below, and I'm by your side!" "Okay..."

After helping her wipe her face dry and giving her another encouraging kiss, Willy then helped her walked out of the room. After getting there and helping her sit down on one of the lounge chairs, Willy walked to the other side, dragged Noah away, and muttered a few words.

Soon, they entered the formal trial. That time, Lauren turned a deaf ear to anything Zedd said. She clenched her teeth, and almost snapped her nails in half. She was really angry, but she eventually persisted without saying a word.

Soon, the time came for inquiries by the other party's lawyer. The lawyer's question was also extremely sharp. "Miss Heady, do you personally admit to have provided this testimony, and have signed it yourself?"

What was displayed on the screen was the testimony she signed on that day. Her name was very clear, and the scene of her confessing in the interrogation was also being shown.

With a lot of emotions, she bit her lower lip. Lauren couldn't deny it. "Yes! He lied to me saying that, if woman confessed..."

Before she finished her explanation, the lawyer on the other side suddenly interrupted her pointedly. "You only need to answer yes or no!"

"Yes!"

When she spoke, her throat felt like it was being stuffed with an egg. Lauren felt very uncomfortable. There was a sense of deja vu where she was forced to confess, where she was clearly the victim but forced into taking the fall!

She felt suppressed and uneasy, but when her gaze fell on the lawyer's face, his calmness and minute expressions made her bear it. His questions were all very sharp, and the whole process was deliberately misleading, by only asking her to answer either yes or no. She felt very suffocated throughout the process, but seeing the corners of his lips curling and even nodding at her, she still said it all in a muddle-headed state.

"The opposing lawyer can begin his inquiry!"

Sitting down, Lauren didn't feel relieved, but was instead shrouded in a very negative gut feeling. That, was because throughout the other lawyer's inquiries, her attorney did not refute at all. Not to mention, even though she wasn't quite clear about every question, she knew that they were aimed to bring her down.

While she was feeling complicated about it, she heard a clear and deep voice. "Mr. Michaels, at the time of the incident, did you personally deliver the food to the defendant, Miss Heady?" "Yes!"

"Can I ask what kind of meal you delivered? Did you make it yourself, or did you buy it?"

Lauren was a little dizzy as soon as Noah said that. Why did he ask such a simple question? Compared to the fierceness of the opposing lawyer, his question was almost like having a small talk. Was he reliable or not?

She had already told him what she brought that day. Furthermore, she hadn't eaten it at all, as it all fell to the ground.

"There were fruits, tomato and egg soup, seasonal vegetables and some steamed sausages! The sausages were bought frozen from the store, and the rest was all made by me!" Thinking back, Zedd was actually a little puzzled.

Why was he asking those irrelevant questions? How could he make mistakes in that kind of basic things? Not to mention, he saw the food with his own two eyes back then! Since it was all spilled, he just took a photo of it at that time, to keep as evidence!

What kind of problem could come out of it?

"Since you made prepared all of it yourself, what are the condiments and seasonings that were used in the food? You wouldn't have forgotten, right, Mr. Michaels? Next, please jist down all the condiments used, especially the special ones. No matter whether it came with the food or was added in the soup, you must think properly, be clear and precise. Don't miss out anything!"

In an instant, Zedd's face paled.

Right then, Lauren suddenly had a realization. It was no wonder Noah was a famous lawyer, he looked at the problem with such sharp eyes! Indeed, the key crux of the dispute in the case was regarding the person who delivered the food and who was in the laboratory. The key point regarding the food was exactly that. Although Zedd saw the contents in her lunch box, he did not make it after all! He must be feeling guilty and uncertain!

At that time, the lawyer on the other side was clearly aware of the problem as well, and stood up quickly. "Objection! I object to the misleading inquiries about issues related to this case!"

Almost at the same time, Noah also spoke up.

"Prosecutor, the food is the

important material evidence of this

case! Even if we have two cooks making the same dish, the tastes still might not be the same. The difference lies in the distinction between the ingredients used by each person! This is the key evidence of this case!"

"The objection is invalid. Please answer truthfully!"

The palms of his hands were sweating. Zedd tried very hard to recall the dishes that Lauren had cooked for him before, saying, "Oil, salt, MSG, no, chicken stock... There might be sugar! Sugar... I don't really remember if there was salt!"

It was just a tomato soup and some seasonal vegetables. What other condiments could be used? Gulping, Zedd hollowed out his mind.

What could be particularly worth mentioning?

At that moment, he really regretted not having tasted it seriously before.

Intermittently, he added, "I think there was pepper, cooking wine, and as for soy sauce... I don't remember whether I put it in or not at that time! Sometimes I do, sometimes I forget to..."

He had seen the condiments and seasonings in her house before. That should be all of them!

With an already guilty conscience, Zedd didn't dare to dig himself a hole and be too sure about anything. Every time he spoke, he tried his best to make some excuses for himself.
