Chapter 47 Farce

Bella felt that the misunderstanding was a bit big, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she smiled while thinking about her words.

Lawyer Jerry Hogarth didn't know what he read from her smile. He waved his hand in sudden realization: "OK, I understand. You don't need to tell me these things. Our goals are the same."

At the same time, she also had some sighs in her heart.

She felt that she was doing things unscrupulously, but her bottom line was to bribe a witness or something. Today, this seemingly harmless Bella taught her a good lesson. Bribing witnesses is nothing, we can directly threaten them.

The other party’s lawyer!

The enemy's lawyer defected in court, which is scary if you tell me!

The idea that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad does not exist, colleagues are enemies, lawyer Jerry Hogarth wishes that all the lawyers in the world would die and he would be the only one left!

She can't be merciful. She must do what high school students can do! The bottom line must be lower! She warned herself secretly.

Seeing the female lawyer's expression of enlightenment, Bella was very puzzled, what do you understand? I haven't said anything yet?!

Back at her residence, Bella also felt that she had gone a little too far today. Next time, should she reduce the effect of the spell she named Obsession by half?

Three days later, the court convened again.

This time the defendant changed to an old lawyer.

Jerry Hogarth's heart sank. She had seen this old lawyer. He was a law professor who once taught her a class. Now he runs his own law firm and is a giant in the industry.

The old professor's concentration and willpower were stronger than those of the young lawyer, but he was quickly defeated by the infatuation technique blessed by psychic energy, and he said a lot of nonsense to Bella with a kind look on his face.

The question was sharper than last time, but it basically remained at the level of "Little girl, you have social practice ideas. This is very good, very free, and very American, but it is not easy for us at Stark Industries. We did not intentionally deny pensions."

..."

Or, "This is a problem for the whole society, and Stark Industries cannot bear all the blame. If you are willing, little girl, I know a few Republican congressmen here. If we go to the party, I can take her to express this issue to the congressmen."

"

???The defendant's client has questions all over his head. Are you defending? Are you surrendering?!

He had to stand up for the second time to interrupt his defense lawyer's question: "Your Honor! I object!"

He used all his strength and let out an unyielding cry from the depths of his lungs, which sounded particularly loud in the not-so-wide courtroom.

The bearded judge specially put on reading glasses today. He looked carefully at the defendant's client and lawyer, trying to see if these two old friends were wearing makeup to prank him.

Then he shook his head, they were not his old friends, these two girls were just here to tease him!

The defendants have surrendered. Is this lawsuit still necessary? He turned to look at the jury.

The members of the jury were also confused. They had never seen such a harmonious trial. Could it be that the rumors that Tony Stark was stupid and wealthy were true? Maybe they really didn’t care about the compensation?

We don’t understand the world of rich people!

Seeing that the jury was about to speak, the defendant's client was so anxious that beads of sweat were pouring from his forehead. He didn't care about the disorder in the courtroom, and rushed out, trying to write Bella a letter of recommendation for the University of Pennsylvania on the spot.

The old lawyer took him back to the dock.

Three days ago, I was too hasty and unprepared. As a result, I was fooled by this guy's high-flying card. This time, Miss Jerry Hogarth will not miss the opportunity.

She stood up immediately: "Your Honor! The defendant's client is in contempt of court order. I demand that he be thrown out!"

The bearded judge almost spit out a mouthful of blood. The defendant's lawyer has defected to the enemy. Are you going to kick out the defendant's client now? There will be no one left on the defendant's side! What will we do in the remaining time? Our staff will get together with your plaintiff.

Play truth or dare and wait until you get off work?

"Sit down! If you dare to cause trouble again, I will kick you out!" He warned the defendant's client and signaled that the trial would continue.

The bearded judge's buttocks were a little crooked, but the defendant's client still retreated step by step under Miss Jerry Hogarth's questions.

Litigation is always two versus two, with one client versus the other party's lawyer, and whoever makes the most mistakes or omissions is judged to be worse.

Now the assistant manager of Stark Industries' Phoenix branch doesn't feel a two-on-two atmosphere. He feels like he is one against three! He has to deal with two lawyers and an enemy client!

"Did Stark Industries Phoenix Branch notify the union about the suspension of pension payments during the entire incident? Did it convene all workers for consultations in accordance with regulations? Was the branch's management involved in the money transactions?

"

Jerry Hogarth's questions were extremely sharp. The defendant's client had no choice but to resort to a special trick: fainting and escaping!

Ah! I fainted!

Without thinking, he tilted his head and fell straight to the ground with a loud 'dong' sound.

Seeing this scene, Bella took the initiative and said in a rare move: "Your Honor! Mr. Brandon in the jury is qualified to practice medicine. Please allow him to save people immediately!"

Doctor Brandon originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but under Bella's gaze, he stood up unexpectedly.

The defendant's client, who was pretending to be unconscious on the ground, was shocked. What the hell? There was a doctor on the jury? So wasn't his fall in vain?

Saving people is absolutely politically correct, and the judge can't say that this guy on the ground is just faking it. As long as we adjourn the court, he will be fine immediately and nod his head to agree with Doctor Brandon to save people.

The members of the jury come from all walks of life, and a doctor is not new.

After receiving Bella's encouraging look, the doctor bravely walked to the defendant's client, but after looking for a long time, he found nothing wrong.

The judge's intention was to adjourn the case and send the defendant's client to the hospital for treatment.

"It's too late! The patient must receive on-site first aid!"

Dr. Brandon shouted, and then injected one milliliter of epinephrine into the vein. Seeing that the 'patient' did not wake up, the doctor immediately started chest compressions.

He used a lot of force, but this 'patient' was a bit obese, and his chest was full of fat. After listening for a long time, he couldn't hear a heartbeat. He had to use all his strength and press hard! The sternum made a "click" sound when he pressed it.

.

I'm dying!

What should I do if my sternum is broken? The assistant manager of Stark Industries' Phoenix branch had to think about this question. Is this a work-related injury? Is it not worth working hard for the company if you just earn such a small salary?
