Chapter 162 Attempted Assault

""Order in the court!

"Are you all trying to get arrested with all this racket?"

The judge's expression was calm but firm as he interjected.

He had hesitated to step in earlier, knowing Christina had ties to both parties, but the chaos had become too much to ignore.

As the judge spoke, Christina instinctively moved to protect Suzie, her gaze still locked on Carson.

"Let's return to the matter at hand. The plaintiff, Melody, presents a clear and well-supported case.

"If there are no objections, we will uphold the original ruling!"

Derrick felt a wave of dread as he grasped the seriousness of the situation. Blood trickled down the back of his head, staining his shirt. Although the warmth of the blood was unsettling, a cold chill washed over him.

"Wait!"

"Wait!".

Derrick called out the defense attorney, but unexpectedly, Melody also raised her voice in protest.

The room was thick and heavy with tension.

"The defendant is willing to accept a fine in exchange for a lighter sentence; detention is just an administrative penalty and can be posted bail!" Derrick was a skilled attorney.

Even though his client faced a tough situation during the sentencing, he was determined to replace legal loopholes to maneuver through it.

Unfortunately, the reality of live-streaming this chaos meant that Carson and Suzanna's careers in the entertainment world could be permanently damaged. Luckily, the Shields were not an ordinary family.

Even if they withdrew from public life, they had other paths to explore.

The judge nodded, recognizing Derrick as a familiar figure known for his decisive actions in the

courtroom.

For him to be reduced to merely being able to bail his client out was a significant blow, especially since the opposing side was just an inexperienced young woman. This was undeniably a major setback in his legal career!

He turned to Melody and asked, "Plaintiff's attorney, Melody, what do you wish to say?"

Her simultaneous speech just now had taken him by surprise.

Could it be that this young woman was experiencing a sudden change of heart regarding the ruthless Shields?

The judge stroked his beard, brow furrowed in contemplation.

"I want to file charges against Mrs. Shield for attempted assault!

"In court, not only did the defendant's family shout loudly, but they also hurled objects at the plaintiff's attorney.

"If Mr. Shield hadn't intervened, I might have been injured myself.

"Just the thought of it gives me chills.

"If the safety of the plaintiff's attorney can't be guaranteed in court, where does the law stand in our country? Are we to live among lawless individuals?" Melody stood tall, radiating confidence and defiance.

Her long lashes framed her eyes, which sparkled with a hint of mischief, as her bold demeanor filled the room! Derrick thought, I'm so unlucky!

He had been caught in the line of fire, pulled into harm's way by Melody as she sought to avoid the thrown bag! Christina glared at Melody in disbelief, instinctively slamming her hand on the table. "Melody, stop slandering us!" Disregarding Christina's fury, Melody coolly pressed play on her earlier recording.

Christina said to Derrick, "I didn't mean it; I wanted to hit Melody!"

Melody seized upon this statement, her eyes hardening. "According to the recording, Christina meant to strike me. "And Derrick was left bleeding from his head.

"If I had been hit, I could've sustained serious injuries as well.

"Isn't that considered attempted assault?"

Her delicate features remained composed, but her dark eyes gleamed with a chilling intensity.

Christina felt her rage bubbling to the surface; she gritted her teeth, her expression contorted with frustration.

"Melody, what about when you pulled Derrick in front of you to shield yourself from the bag I threw? Isn't that assault?"

At this, Melody erupted into laughter, as if she had heard the funniest joke.

"Mrs. Shield, you're so oblivious.

"Assault means intentionally causing harm that results in serious injury or death!

"You threw the bag, not me.

"The one with the intent to harm is you, Christina!"

Melody swiftly filed her lawsuit, submitting the necessary paperwork and evidence.
