Hetheart tightened. The situation was undeniably stacked against her. No matter what Lawrence did, he couldn’t overturn the last piece of video evidence.
Lawrence’s only objection to Miguel’s evidence earlier was that it was obtained illegally. He hadn’t made any other objections. It wasn’t even certain that Beard would acknowledge the illegal evidence claim.
She clenched her hands slightly.
On the plaintiff’s side, Jilliana looked at Enrica with a smug expression. Unless something unexpected happened, the case was as good as won she was in a great mood and had even thought about how to embarrass and humiliate Enrica afterward.
At this moment, Lawrence stood up. “Your Honor, I ale have evidence to subunit. Please have the bailiff bring it forward.”
Bemand signaled the bailift to present the evidence. The videos and transcript were displayed in court. As the first video started playing, Miguel’s face suddenly turned grim

case
The middle–aged man wearing a gray suit took the bank card and locked it in a drawer. He asked curiously, Mr. Whittaker, this lawsuit only claims 200 thousand dollars in damages. Yet you’re offering me one million dollars. Isn’t that a losing deal?”
Miguel’s assistant, Colle Whittaker, smiled and said, “Someone got on Mr. Zucker’s bad side. He just wants to teach them a lesson. Honestly, we’re confident we can win this case, but we figured having you on our side would be an extra layer of security”
“I see,” said the man sympathetically. “Anyone who offends Mr. Zucker is pretty much done for.”
The video abruptly ended there.
Miguel had given money to the middle–aged man, Ryan Quay, under the pretext of helping with the lawsuit. His real intention was to record the video
Over the years, he and Ryan had been working well together. Lately, he had noticed Ryan pulling away. Ryan had even turned down his requests many times. He needed leverage over Ryan
Miguel had his assistant, Cole, deliver the money under the pretest of the lawsuit. At the same time, Cole secretly recorded the entire exchange. From beginning to end, only he and Cole had access to this video How could someone else have gotten hold of it?
Miguel clenched his fists, his face livid. How did Lawrence get his hands on the video? He coldly glanced at Cole, whose face had turned pale. He had no idea how it happened either
Miguel’s expression darkened. Having such a video played in court was disastrous. One wrong move and he could end up behind bars!
He turned to Patrick and asked, “Can you fix this?”
Patrick hesitated before replying, “I’ll do my best.”
This involved bribery, and the risks were enormous
Miguel’s expression turned vicious as be lowered his voice. “First, deal with the immediate problem. If you can take them down in the process. Once this is over, I’ll give you a house. “
Patrick’s eyes lit up, and he nodded subtly. “Mr. Zucker, I’ll do everything I can
Miguel nodded in satisfaction. The video implicated Ryan, which meant Beard would haveto tread carefully. With Patrick’s maneuvering, getting out of this shouldn’t be too difficult.
Just then, the court began playing a second video. On the screen were several leading Lawyers from Zucker Group, along with court officials, at a spa
We couldn’t have won these cases without you.
“Not at all, Mr. Zucker. It was your generosity…
“We’ll have plenty of opportunities to work together in the future…”
Please accept this 800 thousand dollars as a token of our appreciation…
Miguel’s body stiffened as he stated at the screen. Suddenly, he stood up and shouted, “These videos are fabricated question their authenticity!” Patrick rose calmly and addressed the court, “Your Honor, the video quality is poor, raising serious concerns about possible tampering. We request a recess
