Chapter 556 

Chapter 556 

Jennie also came to the court early in the morning. 

When she and Joanna met, they gave each other a murderous look. Joanna took a seat on the left side of the gallery. 

Jennie deliberately sat down on her right. She rolled her eyes and said arrogantly, “Hum! I didn’t expect you to come. Don’t you feel ashamed? 

“If I were you, I wouldn’t have come to embarrass myself.” 

Jennie had been well–prepared before she came. 

A bunch of reporters were waiting outside the courtroom. As long as the trial ended, they would definitely rush over to bomber Joanna with questions. 

Joanna was currently at the center of the storm, so it was true that she shouldn’t have shown up. When she just arrived, the reporters asked her a lot of questions. If the bodyguards hadn’t pushed them away, she would not be able to enter the 

courtroom. 

Hearing Jennie challenge her arrogantly, Joanna immediately shot back, “Unfortunately, you’re not me and it’s difficult for you to become me.” 

“What are you talking about? Why should I want to be you? What’s so great about you? Hmph Jennie rolled her eyes. coldly. 

Joanna shot her a cold glare and stopped talking to her. 

“Quite down, please!” 

The judge and jury walked into the courtroom. 

The lawyers were well–prepared for the argument of the case. 

When the judge announced the official start of the trial, everyone stood up. 

The lawyers from both sides and the people in the gallery all rose to their feet. 

Under the escort of two police officers, Bruce entered the courtroom. Then, he walked up to the defendant’s stand and sat down in the small cubicle. 

“Bruce!” Jennie called out to him. 

Joanna reflexively looked over. 

Bruce’s face was icy cold. The terrifying aura he was giving off would make anyone who saw him want to run away. 

Joanna’s heart sank and she was filled with uneasiness. 

She knew Bruce very well. He must still be brooding about her and Jaydon. 

“The trial will now begin. Lawyers for both sides, please present the facts and show the evidence.” 

After the judge finished speaking, the lawyers of both sides began their defense. 

Bruce’s legal team was the strongest international legal team. In addition, Joanna had got him the best lawyer in Greyport to assist in the case. 

It was obvious that they had a good chance of winning the case. 

The lawyers didn’t argue much before the case was settled a while later. 

Now that the person who accused Bruce of bribery had withdrawn the lawsuit, Bruce was only charged with illegal financing. 

In the end, he was given a suspended sentence due to insufficient evidence. 

“The deferidant is now sentenced to a suspended three–year prison term. The defendant has to pay a fine of 6 million dollars… 

When everyone heard the verdict, they all heaved a sigh of relief. 

A suspended sentence meant that Bruce would not have to go to jail. As long as he did not make the same mistake within three years, he would be exempted from imprisonment. 

As for the fine, it was nothing to him. 

Joanna was finally relieved when she heard the outcome of the trial. Her efforts were not in vain. 

“Bruce, congratulations! I said that you would be fine,” Jennie ran up to the defense table excitedly and said in a flattering 

way.

Bruce looked at her with a doting smile. 

“Bruce, you promised that you would try to start a relationship with me as long as you came out. Does it still count? When Bruce heard this, he couldn’t help but shift his gaze to the gallery. 

Joanna stood there in a daze and looked at him with a complicated expression. 

“I’m nothing to that damn woman. Since she doesn’t care about how I feel, I don’t have to treat her like a treasure. 

Tll get myself another girl to piss her off!” 

Thinking of this, Bruce said to Jennie, “I won’t break my promise, of course.” 

Jennie smiled at his words. “That’s great. I’ve been waiting for so long. Now I finally get what I want! 

“Bruce, do you know how much I like you? Do you know how much I love you?” 

Jennie confessed her love for Bruce in front of everyone. She couldn’t wait to let Joanna know that Bruce was hers. After she finished speaking, she threw herself into Bruce’s arms excitedly. 

“Come on! We’re in the courtroom.” With that, Bruce stretched out his arm and gently held her shoulder. 

In the meanwhile, he glanced at Joanna from the corners of his eyes. 

He wanted to make her jealous and let her know what it felt like to be pissed off. 

“Bruce, I’m so happy! Do you know how much effort 1 spent to get you out? Thank God, my effort is not in vain.” 

The more Jennie spoke, the more emotional she became. She was even moved by herself and her eyes were filled with tears. 

Seeing that, Joanna took a deep breath. 

At this moment, there seemed to be no need for her to stay any longer. 

She could leave as long as Bruce was safe. She did not want to argue with Jennie about who deserved credit for Bruce’s acquittal. 

After all, she was photographed kissing Jaydon. 

It was difficult for her to explain herself. Even if she explained, Bruce would not believe her. 

Joanna silently stood up and left the courtroom. 

It was time for her to leave. 

Watching her walk out of the courtroom without saying anything. Bruce could tell that she must be jealous and felt much. 

better. 

However, though he had got back at Joanna, he was still filled with anger. 

He would not forgive her easily this time.. 

As soon as Joanna walked out of the courtroom, a large group of reporters swarmed over and reached their microphones toward her. 

“Miss Haynes, are the results of Mr. Everett’s trial out?”
