Chapter 1819: The Wheel of Fortune Turns, and It Turns Ruthlessly!
There are still ten minutes before the trial begins.
The detention center staff brought Caryn Zachmann out.
As soon as Caryn appeared, there was a commotion at the jury stand. A group of Zachmann Family relatives nearly didn’t recognize the disheveled girl on the courtroom stage as Caryn herself.
"How did Caryn get so skinny?" A Zachmann Family relative spoke up.
A maiden uncle solemnly said, "She’s been staying in the detention center all the time, it’s not a good place. She definitely isn’t eating or sleeping well."
"Such a pity."
Someone lamented.
More people, however, were sighing.
Sighing over the family split back then, Room Two was limitless in prestige, who knew it would turn out like this, Caryn is now standing on the courtroom stage. Truly, the wheel of fortune turns endlessly!
"Where’s Nathalie Quinlan? Isn’t she coming?" A Zachmann Family relative, noticing time was almost up, craned their neck searching among the crowd and dared to speak up when not seeing that ostentatious figure.
This time all Zachmann Family relatives had learned their lesson, everyone glanced at each other, no one dared to recklessly speak up.
Even Bernard Ingram, who loved showing off as an elder, shrank back, pretending not to hear.
The section where Zachmann Family relatives sat went silent, calming down by itself.
...
Meanwhile.
On the other side of the jury stand, Riandy Heburn sat in the first position of the first row, accompanied by several of his subordinates.
It seemed this time the Heburn Family was sure to win.
He should be the biggest winner.
However, Riandy Heburn was restless, just like the group of Zachmann Family relatives, he focused on whether anyone was entering through the court entrance.
As the trial was about to start.
Riandy glanced at his wristwatch, pulled down his cuffs, and impatiently asked, "Is the person still not here?"
The strong man beside him immediately bowed his head and lowered his voice in reply, "No, I’ve been watching, haven’t seen Ms. Quinlan come over."
"Nathalie Quinlan isn’t coming, right?" Riandy was somewhat frustrated.
Matthew couldn’t answer and dared not speak carelessly.
Riandy furrowed his brows again, agitated: "If she doesn’t come, once Caryn is sentenced, it’ll be even harder for us to make her budge."
"I don’t care now how many years Caryn is sentenced to, what the results are."
"I just want to solve those goods’ issues and that power targeting the Heburn Family... otherwise, we won’t even know how the Heburn Family goes under!"
"..."
Matthew was momentarily unable to respond, falling into silence.
He had advised his brother back then, saying that the trouble Caryn stirred should be dealt with by finding Caryn, not involving Mr. Zachmann. Leave a way out in everything.
The elder brother wouldn’t heed his advice, stubbornly believing that the Zachmann Family was incapable of opposing them, not having the guts.
Who the hell knew Nathalie Quinlan had such strong backing, the Heburn Family was about to be ruined by her! And she still wouldn’t agree to reconcile with them... This issue simply can’t be resolved!
Time ticked by, and in a blink, there were only five minutes left before the trial was about to start.
The judge and jury were already present, preparing for the opening.
Riandy couldn’t sit still, stood up, looked back at the court entrance, and in his anxiety, suddenly saw a tall, slender figure coming in...
"Nathalie Quinlan." Riandy heaved a sigh of relief, unable to suppress his excitement, whispered to Matthew.
Matthew promptly turned around, looked in the direction Riandy was looking.
Sure enough, he saw a girl dressed all in black, wearing a duckbill cap, quite ostentatiously walking in with her hands in her pockets from the entrance.
