She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Mr. Lara Spoils Miss Lawrence

Both Omari and Asher were "stars" of Chulae's legal world. Omari was ten years younger than Asher and was considered the most likely candidate to succeed as the Cabinet's Minister of Legal Affairs.

Four years ago, Asher and Omari faced off in court over an international extradition case in Metshire. The courtroom battle extended over three trials and ended with Omari's victory. At that time, Omari was just a law student, while Asher was already a nominee for the position of Dean of the Law School at the Capital University.

The fact that Asher, a seasoned legal professional, lost to a student abroad tarnished his reputation significantly. At the same time, it was discovered that this young man was none other than Omari Lara, a wealthy and carefree playboy. People couldn't fathom why he chose to become a lawyer overseas instead of enjoying the comforts of his affluent life.

When Omari returned to the country, he received an invitation from the Law School of Capital University to serve as a visiting professor. However, he declined the offer, citing his "carefree and undisciplined nature". Instead, he entered the Cabinet, becoming the youngest legal intern in history.

Three years had passed, and Omari could have been promoted to Minister of Legal Affairs. However, he refused to return to Onistead, leaving the position vacant for nearly a year due to his repeated delays.

Zechariah felt conflicted. If he continued with the case and won, Graeme had promised him half of the reward plus an additional one million. However, this would mean antagonizing NIGHTBREEZE and Omari, which could make his future in the legal field extremely challenging.

On the other hand, backing out and apologizing right now would be a loss of face, especially since the judge had allowed media coverage. Even with pixelation, people might recognize them.

Zechariah regretted his words at the courthouse entrance earlier, where he boasted of showing no mercy to Omari. What kind of courage had emboldened him to utter such suicidal remarks?

Omari had solid evidence in the form of video footage, testimonies from Timothy and other classmates, as well as the hotel manager and the staff who cleaned the floor that night. However, Omari strategically avoided mentioning the mysterious Master Glenn.

Despite Zechariah's reasonable eloquence and logical arguments, Omari countered every word, leaving Zechariah speechless.

In the audience, Cheyenne admired Mr. Lara shining on the stage.

Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a message from Jerry. She had asked him to investigate the transaction between Jase and Graeme, and he had discovered it.

In court, the severity of the injuries was primarily determined by the assessment report from medical institutions for sentencing. Peyton's alleged depression report turned out to be fake, and there were records of transactions between Zechariah and Jase.

Midway through the trial, Cheyenne suddenly interrupted everyone, saying, "Wait a minute, I have new evidence to submit. Please ask the judge to pause for a moment."

The judge inquired, "What evidence?"

Cheyenne walked over to Omari, carrying her black dress, and showed him the document she had. Omari clearly smiled and praised Cheyenne for her cleverness. He said, "Cheyenne is truly resourceful. Alright, I'll handle things from here."

Omari didn't care whether they were in a courtroom or not, and he extended his hand, gently running his fingers through Cheyenne's hair, his actions tender, and his voice filled with affection. The media friends in the audience were left in awe.

It was a heartwarming moment! Mr. Lara and Miss Lawrence seemed to be on the verge of sweet intoxication. The look in Mr. Lara's eyes was filled with love as he gazed at Miss Lawrence, while she rolled her eyes in a playful manner.

Peyton and Zechariah exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of dread. Had Cheyenne discovered the falsified assessment report?
