Chapter 191 Avery Feels Disgusted by Himself
Gustave didnât look like he was under pressure as he replied confidently to Hank, âOf course.â
When they walked in, Cyrus, who had already entered the court with Avery and the others, turned back
and blocked Gustaveâs path.
Cyrus said politely, âMr. Walpole, can I have a few words with you? Just one minute. Donât worry, just a
few words.â
Hank looked a little wary and immediately refused in an unfriendly tone, âThe court is about to start. Mr.
Walpole and I should go in. I think we should wait until the court trial is over.â
He did not want Cyrus to play any tricks to influence Gustaveâs decision at this
critical moment.
After all, in the domestic case, there were only two trials. If Hank lost this time, Darlene would not be able
to appeal for a divorce in the future, at least
for the next few months.
Gustave looked at the time. There was still a while before the start of the court, so he said calmly, âItâs
fine. Mr. Baker, you can go in first. Iâm just an auditor. I donât need to go in so early.â
Cyrus would not take Gustave as a fool. If he really had any tricks, Gustave
would not wait until this time to use them.
When Hank entered, Cyrus immediately said in a lower voice, âMr. Walpole,
you should know that something happened to Mr. Gallard some time ago, causing some of his memories
to be missing. His current situation is not stable yet.
âHe canât be stimulated for the time being, so I want you not to show what Mr. Gallard did to Ms. Garcia
in court when you present evidence later.
Gustave chuckled and said without hesitation, âThatâs a pity. Iâm afraid I canât
promise that.â
Cyrus looked a bit pale, âBut Mr. Walpole, as far as I know, you already have enough evidence in your
hands, including the recording Ms. Garcia gave you.
âEven if you donât mention what Mr. Gallard did to Ms. Garcia before, the judge will grant a divorce. You
and Ms. Garcia only want to divorce Mr. Gallard. What you got is enough to achieve your goal. Why do
you still have to let him get emotional?â
As he spoke, Cyrus added anxiously, âYou can show other evidence first. If the court is not willing to
judge the divorce, you can show other evidence.â
Gustave smiled, but he left no room for maneuver. âCyrus, I only do the thing I am most confident in, and
I only want to solve the problem in the shortest
time.
âSince there are more chips to increase my odds of winning, why should I not show it? Why should I
consider Mr. Gallardâs feelings or his physical condition?â
Cyrusâs face froze, and he could not speak for a moment.
Gustave was calm. âSpeaking of which, during the last divorce trial, Mr. Gallard did not care about Ms.
Garciaâs emotions and worked together with Malcolm to deny his bad deeds, causing Ms. Garcia to vomit
blood in the court.
âWhy did no one from the Gallard family stand up and persuade Mr. Gallard to be lenient and consider
Ms. Garciaâs feelings?â
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Cyrusâs face. He was in public gallery during the trial.
Many people in the Gallard family witnessed the trial and saw Darlene lose
control, but all they thought of was that Avery won the lawsuit.
Gustave held the document bag in his hand and said, âCyrus, I am not kind. It is a waste of time for you
to talk to me about this today.â
Gustave went in first, and Cyrus stood in place, unable to say a word.
The judge checked the identities of both sides and let the plaintiff and the auditors take their seats
according. Soon, the court trial officially began.
Micheal Lester, who was Averyâs defense lawyer, was quite famous in the industry, but he was not
considered an experienced and famous senior lawyer.
Therefore, being chosen by Avery to defend his case, Micheal was a little
flattered.
He had a relatively short time to prepare this case, and he didnât have time to know the evidence in
Gustaveâs hands.
The only thing he knew was that Gustave had a recording. It was that Avery was drunk and forced his
wife to have sex with him.
Michealâs preparation for Gustaveâs evidence was almost on this recording.
Therefore, when Hank showed the recording and it was Averyâs turn to explain, Micheal immediately
stood up and responded,
âMy clientâs behavior that night was caused by being unconscious after drinking. Apart from that, Mr.
Gallard has never carried out any violence
against the plaintiff.
âWe can provide enough evidence to prove that Mr. Gallard has not committed any domestic violence to
the plaintiff or forced her to have any sex.
âAs for being, I need to explain that Mr. Gallard does not have a habit of drinking. He drank that night
because he only had some conflicts with Ms.
Garciaâ¦â
Micheal methodically finished the speech that he had prepared beforehand and breathed a sigh of relief
when he continued with satisfaction,
âTo err is human. A man quarreled with his wife, causing him to be in a bad
mood and drank a lot. I think it is inappropriate to grant a divorce because of
this.
âMr. Gallard also blamed himself afterwards and deeply apologized for his behavior. I hope that you can
be lenient.â
The main judge could not make a decision, so he looked at Hank. âDoes the plaintiff have anything else
to say?â
Hank showed the recording first, waiting for Micheal to fall into the trap.
After Micheal expressed that Avery had no other domestic violence against Darlene, he handed over all
the other evidence.
âMr. Lester said that Mr. Gallard has not committed any domestic violence against Ms. Garcia, then Mr.
Lester needs to explain more for the next
evidence.â
The video was projected on the big screen and began to play on the court.
In the ward, Averyâs extremely cold voice was heard. âKneel to Vivian!â
In the pouring rain, Darleneâs voice was extremely weak. âAvery, you will die a
horrible death.â
Averyâs face in the heavy rain was a little blurry, but he responded to Darleneâs words. âKneel until
tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I can do anything to your younger brother who is still lying in the hospital.â
The scene turned back to the sick room, and it was still Averyâs voice. âVivian,
donât be silly. I wonât let any other woman give birth to my child. I only want
you for the rest of my life.â
âTake Ms. Garcia to have an examination. If sheâs pregnant, let her abort it.â
The public gallery was in an uproar.
Averyâs face turned pale. He could not believe what he was seeing. His
expression changed from a relaxed state for winning the case to a pale look.
For some reason, he stood up and stared at himself on the big screen.
His voice was filled with disbelief and fear. âMr. Lester, what did I see? How could the person on the
screen be me?â
How could it be? Why did he say such disgusting and harsh words and do such horrible things?
