Steven did not retort much in the previous part, seemingly at a disadvantage in front of Hunter, who was speaking confidently.
On the spectator’s seat, Amelia’s heart was pounding like a rabbit, and she stared at Steven with a burning gaze until they ached.
She was too worried about Steven and hated that she could do nothing apart from cheering him on silently in her heart.
“You can speak, the plaintiff’s lawyer.” Clarence had a stern expression, but he cast an affirming gaze at his brother.
Although the three Lovett brothers were rarely in contact after becoming adults, each making a name for themselves in different fields and not as close as typical siblings, Clarence and Steven still had a moral compass. They were unlike Hunter, who had fallen to become a slave to money. They had never done anything immoral.
Hunter looked down on Steven and frequently spoke of Clarence as rigid and inflexible, believing himself to be the pillar of the Lovett family. He thought that after their high-ranking judge of a father retired, he, as the eldest son with high hopes, would maintain the family’s glory.
However, Hunter did not know that his achievements came with an exorbitant hidden cost.
In the near future, he would pay a miserable price for betraying his conscience and morals.
Steven took out a piece of documented evidence, his clear eyes shining with a sharp light. “Everyone knew that the defendant was far from the innocent person her lawyer was trying to paint her as. Before being arrested this time, she had been summoned more than once by the police.”
He implied that Hunter was lying.
“She was arrested this time not only because she was suspected of hiring for murder but also for taking drugs in public, hiding drugs, and other charges.”
At this time, the screen appeared to be playing the disgraceful video of Shannon getting high after injecting drugs into herself at the resting lounge during the horse racing event.
Her private parts were censored, but those obscene moans still made everyone in the court uncomfortable, even the court officials.
Hunter glared at Steven, knowing too well what he was planning.
But if he left, their morale would scatter. Would the others still stay and act? The scene would only look uglier than that disgraceful video!
Steven said coldly, “Could a heavy drug addict who needs drugs regardless of time and venue be more emotionally stable than the defendant, Winston?
“I’ve seen some addicts act up during withdrawal. They are all people who would do anything to obtain drugs, are extremely violent, and are unable to control their words and actions. There’s a high possibility that she would develop murderous intentions.”
Shannon shot daggers at Steven, her face flushed red with anger.
“Your Honor! I object! The plaintiff’s attorney is merely speculating out of their own volition. It has nothing to do with this case!” Hunter immediately jumped, raising his hand.
Clarence paused and looked at Steven. “Please ask questions that are relevant to the case.”
