A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 516

There was a threatening edge in Toby’s words, but the prosecution did not object.

And with that, Toby asked Wade and Hunter solemnly, ‘”Have you been involved in impersonating my client while carrying out illegal activities including market manipulation and aiding criminal organizations in laundering money?”

“Yes,” both men admitted.

“Was everything that you have done exactly as our evidence has proven?”

“Yes.”

“Was James Stuart your co-conspirator and the mastermind behind all your actions?”

“Yes.”

Neither would dare to hide anything now.

“Thank you,’ Tobias said and turned toward Judge Rackham. “With the evidence that my side has provided and the confession of the suspects, I maintain that my client is innocent of any charges placed against him on this trial and thus request that he be released without charge. I have nothing more to add.”

“Thank you. Please return to your table, defense counsel.”

As Tobias returned to his seat, Judge Rackham announced, “The court will be in recess for half an hour. The rest of my panel and myself will confer to make a final verdict.”

With a bang of the gavel, Judge Rackham and his panel of fellow judges left, while the courtroom erupted raucously.

At the same time, Cordy’s heart was relieved considerably.

Even if John had violated the law in the midst of his investigation, those were minor crimes and the sentences would not be serious.

From her perspective, she could accept it as long as it was not a life sentence or anything worse.

“I knew it! Johnny wouldn’t commit a crime… Sh*t, I almost had a heart attack there!

Still, it’s quite the exciting show he put up for us… I mean, I know my boy’s good, but not that good! I really have to reevaluate my opinion of him!”

Sam finally exclaimed right then, and he was not stingy with his praise at all.

That incredible reversal and dramatic uncovering of the truth was simply heartstopping!

“He is good,” Bob agreed, while adding self-deprecatingly, “My parents would be bragging about me all the time if I had a third of his ability.”

“Now, now, that might not be the case,” Sam joked. “Would the man have so much trouble plaguing him if not for his ability? That’s why people want him so badly, y’know? That’s why it’s no good if you’re too outstandingpeople like us who have already reached our peak at birth just have to keep calm and carry on. That’s life.”

“Well said. 100 points.” Bob flashed a thumb-up at him.

Cora giggled as she listened, appearing adorable just then.

“So, just be open-minded and down-to-earth. Don’t try to ask for too much and learn to let go,” Sam said nonchalantly. ’That’s how you find happiness in life!’

“Yeah. I should learn to let go,” Bob agreed a little quietly.

“Anyway, it’s time for some beer and karaoke once Johnny’s released. Let’s properly celebrate tonight,” Sam said, serious for less than a second.

Before Bob could say yes, Cordy spoke. “No. He’s in bad shape-he should stay home and recover. No alcohol.”

Both men turned toward Cordy at once then, leaving her blushing.

She did not say anything wrong!

“Oh, we get it. Absence makes the heart fonder… We’re not going to bother you two!”

Both Sam and Bob were grinning slyly then.
