The CEO Wants To Divorce Me -
Chapter 71
The judge's expression was very complicated at this point, he glanced at Arabella and then at Ezra,unable to decide the question that arose before him,waved his hand and let Beth go down first. Arabella,on the other hand,was completely frozen,including Emma, Noah and Wyatt on stage, all of whom were frozen.
Beth,as the person who gave Arabella the evidence of domestic violence and the pregnancy report form, as well as the person who encouraged Arabella to sue for divorce,now surprisingly overturned all her previous statements and betrayed Arabella by helping Ezra to testify in court. Arabella only felt that the sky was dark,and the hope that had just been kindled had almost been dashed by now.
Arabella looked helplessly at Charles,and there was no longer any hope in her eyes.
"Your Honor,we have one more witness here, may we take the stand."Charles gave Arabella a reassuring look and raised his hand again to the judge.
"Call the witness up to testify."The judge nodded and said in a loud voice.
Noah had left the gallery at some point, and by now had walked down the exclusive aisle to the witness stand.
"Noah is a doctor at the hospital and has treated my client many times."Charles briefly introduced Noah's identity,and then asked Noah a question.
"Mr.Noah,as my client's treating physician, may I ask you about whether my client's abortion was voluntary on her part?"
"No,it was then that Mr.James used Arabella's parents as blackmail to force Arabella to have an abortion,and during Arabella's pregnancy,the maternity checkup that used to come,and I also found out that during Miss Arabella's pregnancy, Mr.James disregarded Miss Arabella's body,forced s*x,and also caused Miss Arabella's vulva to tear,all of which can be learned by investigating the hospital's treatment records."
Noah stood in the witness box and told of the evil that Ezra had committed against Arabella.
These words made all the staff in the room couldn't help but give Ezra a sideways glance.
Ezra is still sitting in the dock with a calm and collected look,as if everything is now irrelevant to him.
"So may I ask, how did you learn that Mr.James forced Miss Arabella to have the surgery?"Charles then asked Noah.
"It was me who heard it outside the door of the ward when I was about to find Arabella-san to give her the items that she accidentally left behind."After Noah answered all the questions, he once again turned his eyes to Arabella and reassured Arabella with his eyes. Arabella's eyes had long since burst into tears, and what Noah was stating was the last thing she wanted to remember.
"Mr.Judge,this is all the evidence I have. The defendant has behaved badly towards my client and has seriously threatened my client's life,so I hope Your Honor will pronounce a divorce for both of them."Charles returned to the plaintiff's position and said with a serious face.
The judge raised the hammer and just as it was about to come down, it was stopped by Tom.
"Your Honor,I have another witness here who has a lot more to say,Mr.Judge,may I ask her to come to court?"
The judge rubbed the bridge of his nose with some fatigue and waved his hand to invite witnesses up to testify.
At that moment,a middle-aged woman walked in,it was Gaby.
The hope that Arabella had just sparked began to flicker again after seeing Gaby.
"After marriage,has Arabella fulfilled the obligations of a wife?"
"Is it true that Miss Beth and Mr.James possessed an inappropriate relationship?"
"What does Arabella do at home every day while Mr.James is away at work?"
"Is it true that this Dr.Noah and Miss Arabella are just friends?"
Tom's series of questions,which do not seem to have any connection, but each sentence has a meaning.
A series of questions were thrown out and Gaby looked at Arabella and sneered as everyone in the room quieted down and looked at her.
"Mr.Judge,I am here today to prove that the first person to be unfaithful to this marital relationship was Miss Arabella!"
"My father thought that Arabella was a kind and noble wife who could help Mr.Ezra with his family.But who would have thought that within two years after they got married, Arabella revealed her true colors,she was a flirt and had seduced many men outside." Gaby's expression became more and more agitated, and finally even reached out and pointed at Noah,who was sitting in the family and friends'seats,and growled in a low voice through clenched teeth.
"This Dr.Noah is one of them."
"Ever since Arabella learned that her father, Aden,was the one who killed Ezra's parents, and that Aden jumped to his death from the upper floor of the courtroom because of his internal condemnation,Arabella has been tormenting Ezra even more frantically." The more Gaby spoke,the more realistic she became.Arabella covered her mouth in surprise,unable to believe that the person Gaby was referring to was herself.
She tried to go out to stop Gaby from continuing her nonsense, but was stopped by the police and could only watch as Gaby continued her wild nonsense.
"The most outrageous thing is that Arabella is so crazy that she thinks her sister Beth and Ezra are having a proper relationship.God knows what a kind child Beth is,she always comes back to the villa to take care of Arabella, who always comes and won't appreciate it and only scolds her!"
"Arabella you little b***h,how dare you frame Ezra when he's been so good to you!How dare you even spare your sister,are you still human or not!"
The more Gaby talks,the more excited she gets,and her spittle flies into Arabella's face.
"Silence,silence,witness, please be civilized in your speech!"The judge saw how vulgar Gaby was and hastened to bang the hammer.
Ezra's lawyer frowned and asked,"Miss Arabella,why would you falsely accuse your sister of seducing Ezra?Aren't you two a couple?"
Before Arabella could answer,Gaby sneered, "Your question is really good,my nephew married Arabella and transferred half of the family property to her name,but later, after finding out that his parents were killed by Arabella's father, he transferred the property back,which made Miss Arabella was very upset."
"Arabella then thought of using her sister to seduce Ezra,poor Beth was abused by Arabella since childhood,very afraid of her, but Arabella told her to seduce her brother-in-law,she would rather die than obey.In the end Arabella actually found someone to rape Beth,resulting in later Beth pregnant, she got such a pregnancy report,and she also used the means of synthetic photos, disguised as Ezra domestic violence her!"
"Dear Your Honor,you must deal with this matter fairly,I have not only photos but also recorded evidence, all of which can prove that what I said is true!"
Gaby finished her impassioned statement of all that happened, and during her statement all the people were frozen, not even knowing how to react.
The words were so powerful that they were almost beyond their acceptance.
The entire courtroom was so quiet that even the drop of a pin could be heard.
Tom looked smugly at Charles and Arabella with an air of victory.
Arabella,with tears in her eyes,was only murmuring in a small voice, but finally let out a loud shout,"No, no,that's not true,that's not the truth!She's slandering,I never did any of these things!"
Noah stood up even more angrily,the fire of anger in his eyes almost consumed Gaby," Don't you lie here, why do you frame Arabella like this, you don't understand what kind of pain Arabella has suffered![This is the main man's sister-in-law? Do you need to pay?]How can you go against your conscience like this and create false evidence!"
The entire courtroom was in chaos as the judge banged his gavel in anger and yelled at Noah,"Silence,silence!If you are yelling, I will hold you in contempt of court."
Gaby,however,was not in a hurry,but simply glanced at Noah with a sneer and turned to the judge with great respect,saying, "Your Honor,you see this man's true face,don't you?He is simply annoyed, and here is all the evidence I have gathered."
Gaby waved the paper bag over her hand and carefully placed it in her hand again.
The judge waved his hand,"Bring it up."
The file bag was quickly brought before the judge's eyes, who looked at the photos inside and also listened to the conversation in the tape recorder,and his brow furrowed once again.
Arabella could not see the evidence at all,and she could only look helplessly at Charles,who stood up, looked at the judge,and said loudly,"How can you take evidence that is not registered and use it in court?I protest!"
The judge frowned tightly, looked at Charles,and said with dissatisfaction," Protest overruled!"
"Is this how my client is going to be vilified?We didn't even know this evidence existed!"
Charles argued his case,refusing to let go of any opportunity to argue his case.
The judge gestured and had that evidence handed to Charles.
Charles only took one look at it and frowned.
He handed the photos in his hand to Arabella,who took them and just glanced at them, her hand felt like a pinprick and immediately threw those photos aside.
The so-called evidence,the so-called photos,were taken in a surreptitious manner,pictures of two people holding hands,and even pictures of kissing, and pictures of a man holding a woman,and the man and woman in the pictures were clearly the faces of Arabella and Noah.
Arabella froze for a moment and shouted in a panic:"False,these are all fakes,they were all taken on loan, I swear I never betrayed Mr.James, Mr.Judge,you can't use this as evidence in the trial!These are all fakes!"[I always feel that such a scenario as a fake photo is not very appropriate in court, the court should let someone identify it]
The judge banged his gavel again,"Silence,silence!"
Tom turned around and looked at Arabella and Noah a few times with a very warm smile,then turned to the judge and said,"Judge Guest,we ask for a recess." "Court15 is adjourned for one minute."
Arabella slumped back in her chair,she turned her head to look at Ezra,and only now did she understand what Ezra meant when he said those words in the study last night.
"I'll give you one last chance......."
"Get down on your knees and beg me, and I might forgive you."
"In that case,you are prepared to suffer the consequences."
So that's how it is,so everything was expected by Ezra,all under his control.
Arabella felt for a moment that the whole world had collapsed.
She found a lawyer and collected evidence in order to present it at the trial and divorce Ezra,but she didn't expect the final result to be like this!
How could she have ever imagined that Gaby would suddenly appear here with forged evidence,pointing all fingers at her and portraying her as a slut! And those photos,how is that possible? How on earth did that happen!
