Chapter 561 The Video

The truth of the 'bribery' came out.

People were shocked since they couldn't imagine that the settled 'facts' should be reversed.

Seated in the gallery, Charles was on pins and needles.

Never did he expect that Oscar had reserved sufficient evidence for himself.

Having plotted it for an extended period, he thought his scheme was perfect.

Clenching his teeth, he told himself it was needless to worry. Oscar was also accused of raping, which was not easy to clear. He tried to keep his calm.

At this moment, the prosecutor spoke, "The defence attorney alleged that the defendant was wronged, but who wronged him? He never had an explicit statement."

Josh smiled scornfully. His contemptuous face annoyed the prosecutor, as the latter was renowned in Kensbury City for many successful cases. Compared with him, Josh was an unknown lawyer here as he was based somewhere else.

"Shouldn't it be the Investigation Department's work to ascertain who wronged my client? All we need to do is to prove my client innocent. If we could replace the one who wronged my client, what are you here for? And what are the police and the Investigation Department for?"

"How dare you!" the prosecutor felt offended.

The judge took the opportunity to warn him, "Pay attention to your words, counselor."

"Sure, Your Honor." Josh showed great respect to the judge, "We can present exculpatory evidence. As for who wronged my client, it needs to be further investigated by the Investigation Department." The judge didn't answer in the affirmative. However, the accusation of fraud could not be substantiated in the face of so many witnesses and evidence.

Not halting too long, Josh changed direction, "Then, as for the other accusation of rape, I have repeatedly stated that my client did not rape Mary Cooper. He need not do so. However, the prosecutor has always insisted that I have no proof, and he made up many reasons and imposed them on my client. Now, I'm pleading Mr Wells not guilty of the crime."

Saying it, Josh turned around to face Oscar and asked, "Mr Wells, did you meet the deceased on the night of her death?"

"Yes," Oscar answered, "I was at a dinner with colleagues from the City Hall."

"Specifically, which ones were at the spot?"

Oscar answered, of course, he mentioned Charles.

"Was there anyone else who met Mary Cooper then?"

"All of them, I think. As it was at the door."

"Then, was there anyone else who interacted with Mary?"

"I don't think so." Answered Oscar.

His answer threw off the others' suspicion. The atmosphere was tense.

Josh continued to ask, "Did Mary draw near you?"

"Yes. Mary said she could take me home."

"Was you drunk that night?"

"Bit of, but I was conscious."

"Does it mean you could go home by yourself then?"

"I think so."

"Did she mean to design on you when she drew near you?"

"Yes." Answered Oscar firmly.

"Objection!" said the prosecutor, "The defence counsel and the defendant are acting on their script. According to the video I provided, the defendant and the deceased were intimate. The claim that the deceased designed on him is nonsense."

"Sustained," the judge was evidently on the prosecutor's side, "please don't waste our time, counselor."

"Your Honor," Josh turned to the judge, "The conversation between my client and me is to show you that Mary Cooper's approaching my client was premeditated, which could be supported by a video. Please let me present my proof, your Honor."

The judge certainly could not reject his request in court, so Josh asked the staff to play his video.

In the video, Mary held Oscar walking into a hotel. Oscar seemed stumbled under the effect of alcohol while Mary was sober. They went into a room. Oscar leaned back against the headboard with the help of Mary, seeming a bit uncomfortable. He pulled at his tie, and Mary at once took it off. Her yearning for Oscar was evident in her eyes, undisguised.

In the gallery, Susan couldn't help swearing, "Shit, I knew the bitch had some ulterior motive to Oscar! Damn it, so irritating!"

Hannah pursed her lips.

Who should be the one irritated the most?

She couldn't bear that Oscar had allowed Mary to touch him.

Damn it! Jerk!

Hannah's face turned scarlet with anger. She knew that Theodore had a piece of evidence but didn't know what it was. Now watching it, she had an impulse to castrate Oscar.

Everyone stared at the video holding their breath. On the screen, Oscar whispered something in Mary's ear. Smiling bashfully, Mary left the bed and turned around to the bathroom. Seeing her inside the bathroom, Oscar got up from the bed. With all the buttons of his shirt unsnapped, his washboard abdominals were partly revealed.

"Oh, my Gosh!" Susan was thrilled. She seemed to agree with Hannah's crush on Oscar, strongly. How could a woman resist the seductive enticement of that body, coupled with his striking face? That Oscar was an eye-catcher was a known fact.

Oscar faltered out of the room. After a while, Mary also went out with an emotional breakdown. It proved that Mary meant to seduce Oscar, but he resisted the seduction and went away alone. Mary left the hotel, seeming to look for Oscar. Then the scene changed. Oscar was in a car with Theodore. There were two male voices.

"What happened?"

"I was drugged."

"Who did it?"

"Not sure," his voice was frigid, with sobriety, "Might be someone from the City Hall."

"Fuck!" Theodore cursed, "Where to?"

"Well," Oscar smiled, "to lavish the pent-up affection upon my wife."

There was a bit of bustle in the gallery.

The audience felt like they were watching porn. Among them, Susan laughed notably, making Hannah flush to the neck.

Was it necessary to play the complete video? Hannah thought embarrassingly.
