The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Chapter 243

Elsie’s speechlessness left the online defense empty for more than ten minutes. Fess ver.

During this time, in a conference room in the Faculty of Law at Rosemont University, a law professor lowered the volume of the livestream and asked the students present, "What do you think about Ryan’s defense?"

A student raised his hand. "He deliberately set up the transfer of 500 thousand dollars, right? He deliberately clipped a few other people’s transfer records in those bank transfer photos. When it was played to the end, he deliberately sped up the broadcast so that the audience could not see the details. They only saw that the transfer amount was a total of 500 thousand dollars."

Someone added, "The two witnesses cooperated with him to put on this show and deliberately provoked Kerise, causing her to expose the truth on impulse."

Another student said, "I think it’s strange. How could someone as smart as Ryan be photographed bribing witnesses in a bar? Moreover, he left evidence behind. It’s as if everything was within his expectations..."

At this point, the scene fell silent for a few seconds. Strange expressions appeared on the faces of the students. Could it be that all of this... was self-directed and acted out by Ryan?

When the professor saw this, he smiled and said unhurriedly, "It seems that I didn’t teach you for three years for nothing."

He rewound the live broadcast to the time when the two witnesses appeared and replayed it. "I’ve dealt with Ryan many times. I know him quite well. I’m almost certain that these two witnesses are fake. Ryan hired them to cooperate with him."

The meeting room was in an uproar. "It’s illegal to ask someone to make a false witness. How could a lawyer like him dare to do that?"

The professor chuckled and said, "You make good points. However, this isn’t a formal trial, and since this case is a civil lawsuit, all he needs to claim is that the witnesses deceived him or that the witnesses admitted to deceiving him, and he’ll be in the clear."

His glasses looked unfathomable. "Look, the witnesses left saying that. They probably won’t appear again. Who’s going to pursue the matter?

"I’m guessing that Ryan is confident that the real witness won’t appear. Even if he does, he won’t dare to go against Ryan.

"So, it’s very likely that the short-haired female reporter was also arranged by Ryan. She and Ryan acted together to lure out the matter of Kerise being bribed with a large sum of money.

"This is more impactful and realistic than Ryan directly accusing Kerise of accepting money. It can also arouse the anger of the people."

The students listened, dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "Can legal proceedings really be handled like that?"

The professor smiled and said, "Ryan is an expert in such methods. He’s treacherous and unpredictable. It’s difficult to tell if it’s real or fake."

He told a little story about Ryan. "Once, an opponent discovered that Ryan had secretly found someone to impersonate a witness. He was smug and prepared to expose Ryan in court and get Ryan out of the lawyer’s world. Who would have thought that when the trial officially started, Ryan would summon a real witness? His opponent was unprepared for this and suffered a crushing defeat."

It was for this reason that the professor suffered a huge blow and stopped being a lawyer and became a teacher.

The students were stunned. This kind of lawyer was simply unheard of.

They hoped that they would never meet such a lawyer in their lives. Otherwise, they would not even know how they lost...

"So, you have to be careful of this person," the professor said meaningfully. "In case you meet him in the future, the best way is to do your own thing. Don’t try to see through him, and don’t try to play tricks on him. You won’t be able to win."

When he said this, Kerise and Elsie had already left the press conference.

The press conference continued. Ryan said to the camera, "This unofficial defense is about to end. I believe the audience has come to their own judgment. Lastly, I have to say that Mr. Carter has been in the military for five years and has made outstanding contributions. He’s not someone that Internet trolls and haters can slander."

He picked up the box on the table and carefully opened it. He aimed it at the camera and said, "These are the merits Mr. Carter obtained in the army!"

Netizens were in an uproar.

"How does someone have to contribute to get so many medals?"

Ryan closed the box and said solemnly, "Mr. Carter has always kept a low profile. He originally did not want to publicize these medals, but as a soldier, he can’t tolerate others attacking our soldiers because of his rumors!

"My other said that one of them is a Rank 1 Hero’s Medal. It’s very difficult to obtain. Zayn is really amazing!"

"How dare those haters slander a real hero?"

"We have been entrusted by Mr. Carter to formally sue those netizens who spread rumors about Mr. Carter online."

"Everyone, please look at the big screen."

Numerous rumors appeared on the electronic screen.

"We’ve already found out the identities of the netizens who posted these comments. See you in court."

On such a rolling screen, Ryan announced, "This is the end of today’s online defense. Thank you, everyone. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he cut off the live broadcast and made an "okay" gesture at Avery.

Avery gave him a thumbs up and mouthed, "Well done!"

Then, she walked to Zayn and whispered, "Zayn, are you alright?"

Zayn had already taken off his mask. His face did not look happy because of tonight’s victory. Instead, he looked even more silent.

"I’m fine." He placed his hand on Avery’s shoulder. "Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. I’ll remember it for the rest of my life."

Avery smiled. "But you don’t look happy."

Zayn looked at her. "Paul and Tadeo are not real witnesses, right?"

He believed in the lawyer Avery had found. Therefore, he did not interfere in Ryan’s defense.

Avery did not hide it from him. "Yes."

The online defense tonight was basically an act. Ryan asked two people to pretend to be Paul and Tadeo.

Because the real Ben had long received a death notice from a mysterious person—Brandon—and he had moved overseas with his parents five years ago. He had been placed under house arrest by her people for the past two days to not interfere with this online defense.

Paul and Tadeo had gone to Southville together three years ago. It was unknown if they were dead or alive, and their whereabouts were unknown. Their families had long cut off contact with them. The real Stefan was in jail and would not be able to come out for three to five years, let alone watch this live broadcast.

In addition, Ryan’s meeting with the witnesses in the bar and being secretly photographed was also planned by Ryan...

In short, Zayn was avenged, and the person who wronged Zayn was ruined.

Zayn did not care about this. He only said slowly, "Elsie might have recognized that they were fake from the beginning."

After eight years, the 17 or 18-year-old high school student had turned into a young man. His face had changed, and it was normal for people who were not familiar with him to not recognize him. However, he and Elsie had been pestered by them for so long back then and had always remembered this matter in their hearts. It was impossible for them to forget their appearances.

After a few seconds of silence, Avery said in a low voice, "Although it’s eight years late, she’s finally free."

Zayn could finally be relieved.
