Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom

21 Court trial
How is Spid going to handle such a case? (1)
Spid sat there with his hand resting under his jaw, looking bored.
After the last person was interrogated by lawyer An, he sighed like half his life had been wasted before he stood up and saluted
the judge:
Spid is known for not interrupting his opponent all through their interrogation of witnesses and also doesn’t object to anything.
After all, he wasn’t known to be the best lawyer in the world by battling words with others.
“Your honor. In here is the new evidence I gathered. The case was too sudden, so I didn’t have time to gather enough.” He
stretched the brown envelope to a court staff member who walked up to him to collect the file and handed it to the judge.
The judge went through the so-called evidence with a frown of displeasure on his face.
“Lawyer S.P, what is the meaning of this? Are you here to play with the court?!” The judge yelled. First of all, this lawyer
introduced himself as S.P, an upcoming lawyer. Secondly, the envelope filled with ‘evidence’ was just a few pieces of paper with
the same matter the court was handling but with a few changes here and there.
“Keep calm, Mr judge. I can’t bear the burden of you fainting because of me. If you’ll allow me to explain my report, it will save us
both from too much trouble, thank you.”
The judge’s mouth fell open at his effrontery to speak to him in such a manner. D-did an unknown lawyer just, just....
His thought was cut short when he heard the man say:
“Can Miss Christine Wales step into the witness box, please?”
Christine walked out of her seat with confidence and stood in the witness box.
A wrapped book was given to her to place her hand on and make an oath.
Seeing this, Spid rolled his eyes. They’d swear and still lie.

After she was done swearing, Spid asked her to repeat her testimony and she said the exact words she had already said two
times already.
The first time was in Rose City’s court, the second time was a while ago when lawyer An interrogated her, and now is the third
time.
“Miss, are you sure you were there and you witnessed it all?” Spid asked again.
“I- yes, I witnessed it all.” She was shaken when she saw his eyes, but she still stood on her ground.
Spid nodded and said, “Your honor, she said witnessed it all.”
“What are you trying to prove?” The judge asked with irritation in his tone.
“Nothing, just so she doesn’t deny it later. I’m making sure you all heard it.” Spid said funnily, making

the audience laugh.
The judge rolled his eyes.
Spid turned serious and then raised a question: “Miss Christine, in your words, you said that they left you at the wedding venue,
correct?”.
Christine nodded.
“However, from the CCTV footage along the hotel, it captured that you left them in the wedding venue and not the other way
round. What do you have to say about that?”
“I- I didn’t go-”
“Your honor, point to be noted. Spid silenced Christine by butting in before she got to think of an
excuse.

By the time Christine got to realize what just happened, the point had been noted by the judge. She panicked and immediately
started to protest.
“That was when my sister hadn’t entered the venue. I went out to meet, to get...
Christine couldn’t finish her words because it would be implicating her if she tells them who she
went to meet.
“Who did you go out to meet, Miss Christine?” Spid picked up her last statement immediately. That was why he brought up this
matter of her leaving the court in the first place.
He had trapped Christine in the middle of two dangerous pits. If she accepted that she went to see someone, she would have to
say who that person was. But if she chooses to protect that person, then she would have to admit to his claim that she left the
wedding venue before everyone else and
another deep pit would be waiting for her to jump in.
“Objection, my Lord, my client’s privacy is being violated!” Lawyer An immediately stepped in when he saw Christine struggling
to answer.
“My Lord, this isn’t a violation of privacy but solid evidence to know if the person Miss Christine met up with is connected to this
case.”
“Objection overruled.”
Lawyer An sat down, hoping Christine would use her brain.
“I-I left the venue before them.”
“Who did you meet up with?
“I didn’t meet anyone, I went home!” She barked at Spid.
“Another point to note, your honor. She went home straight while the wedding was ongoing.”
The judge nodded and noted that down.

“Miss Christine, what were you doing in the house when your sister was getting married?”
“I-I slept off because I was tired.”
“Your honor, she slept off because she was tired,” Spid repeated.

“Objection, my Lord, how does her routine concern this case?” Lawyer An disagreed.
“My lord, it has a connection to the case.”
“Objection overruled.”
“Thank you, your honor...Miss Christine, for how long did you sleep?”
“Objection-”
“Overruled!”
“I can’t remember how long I slept for.”
“But you knew when the assassins got into the house.”
“Assassins?!”
“That’s right, Assassins. They got into the house at exactly 4:15 pm. How did they not see you?” “No, there were no assassins at
that time. At 4:15 pm, I was in the shower. I just woke up and...” 2 “Your honor, Miss Jeslyn, and her grandfather got into the
house from the wedding venue at exactly 3:50 pm. The old man arrived at the hospital at exactly 4:15 pm. So, when did Miss
Christine witness the murder?” 1
Everyone in the room was stunned. That’s right. If Christine woke up by 4:15 and entered the shower, what time did she witness
Jeslyn killing their grandfather? 1
“I, L... that’s not true, I...”

“Your honor, that’s all I have to say.”
The Judge nodded and penned down some words while Christine was being taken out of the witness.
box.
Spid interrogated the rest workers and every single one couldn’t hold on to what they said earlier. He’ made them change their
statement by attacking them mentally.
Lawyer An had shouted ‘objections’ so many times which were brutally rejected by the judge till he stopped objecting and just sat
there like a baby doll.
