Dick, along with Susie and Andy's family, stepped towards the court.
After entering the courtroom, they were waiting in the hall.
Upon seeing Bryson, Audrey, and Harold entering the hall, Andy's parents rushed over to Harold.
"You're a murderer. A life for a life!"
"Pay with your life! I'm going to kill you!"
The bodyguards and Dick's men were not allowed into the courtroom, so only the representatives and lawyers of both parties were present in the hall.
Worried that Andy's parents would do something to Harold, Audrey subconsciously blocked their way to him.
Before their hands were on Audrey, Bryson had grabbed their wrists with his hands. They retreated in pain when feeling the strength from Bryson's hands.
They glanced at Bryson, frightened by his imposing manner. They couldn't help but step back, not daring to go forward again.
Andy's father threatened Harold, "Harold, I won't touch you because people are around today. But Harold, God knows what you have done. You will pay for killing my son!"
Harold could not help but say, "I didn't kill him. The real murderer is someone else."
Upon his words, Susie's countenance changed.
It looked like that he was going to betray her.
Andy's mother sneered, "You didn't kill my son? Didn't you admit that you were the murderer before? Now you are going to be sentenced to death. You are afraid, so you want to overturn your words on the spot? Let me tell you. I won't let you get away with your sentence for killing my son. I will keep suing you until you are sentenced to death!"
Susie took a sneeze again.
When touching her itchy nose, she looked at Harold and hated him more.
"Harold, I didn't expect you to be such a person. I thought you were a good person. You have let me down." Susie said angrily.
Harold stared at her.
She finally showed herself in her true colors.
She used to put on a disguise in front of him for his sympathy to her. She would have gotten tired of it, especially when he had known the true her. Now, she even had no interest in acting and slandered him to his face.
In the past, she only slandered him behind his back, but this time, she smeared him in his presence.
Harold slightly closed his eyes.
He knew he should give up any hope now.
Audrey, standing beside him, mocked, "Harold, now you finally know what kind of person your sweetheart is, right?"
Harold did not want to see Susie, the one whom he had once been crazy for but now he felt quite disgusted at.
"Let's go!" Harold turned his face away.
"Alright!"
Audrey and Harold walked in, followed by Bryson.
For fear of Bryson, Dick and his men had no guts to step forward to the three and just stared at the three.
Andy's parents got nothing to do when the three passed by. Susie glared at Harold angrily.
This bastard made her wait for an entire night to play her last night. She decided to revenge on him soon.
...
In the court.
"How is that possible!"
Dick took the bag and flipped through it in person. In the end, he had to admit that the IOU and diary that he had stolen from Harold's house were nowhere.
Coby came forward with a serious expression. "The bag has been kept by me!"
Dick trusted Coby very much. Dick's face darkened. "It seems that there is a traitor among us. When we go back, I will investigate thoroughly!"
"But what about now?" Coby asked.
Dick sneered, "Without those, he could still be sentenced to death. This case has attracted much attention from society. Now, the public has made their judgment and asked him to be sentenced. With the witness and evidence, it is impossible for him to get rid of the crime!"
Coby's eyes were full of resentment.
He fixed his eyes on the back of Dick's head and showed the inclination to kill Dick.
Dick, who was sensitive, felt a chill from the back of his head. He turned around but found nothing as Coby had restored to the usual.
Seeing Dick turning around, Coby looked at him in confusion.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
Dick found no one behind Coby. But the feeling was so strong that he couldn't ignore it. He had no idea where it came from.
Maybe he was too sensitive that made a mistake.
Here was the court under guard. How could anyone be possible to lay a hand on him in the court?
He answered lightly, "Nothing!"
Then, Dick returned to his seat.
