Chapter 140 Feeling Lost

Trials in small towns are held in the town's church.

The entire trial process adopts the traditional Western jury system, with the judge in the middle, and to the left and right of the judge are the prosecution and the defense. Facing the judge, between the judge and the auditorium, are the speaking seats for witnesses and appraisers.

Chen Jun fell into the seat early and looked at the judge's evasive eyes.

"Summon Marlena Posino now!"

As the alarm bell in Judge Sack's hand rang, the male juror from the small town could not stop his eyes from looking towards the door.

Marlena walked slowly over, and the fragrance from her body made everyone and the male jurors in the middle of the aisle intoxicated.

Two of them were staring at her. One was Toby, the only lawyer in the town. He could have been directly responsible for Marlena's case, but now he was caught first. He turned to look at the lawyer in black uniform.

Mature handsome man in clothes

His appearance was enough to drive him crazy with jealousy. It was said that he was a wealthy boss from out of town who robbed him of the opportunity to have a kiss with Fangze. He was the culprit.

He smiled again in an instant. Malena did not hire a lawyer and relied solely on William, who could only appear as a witness. With Judge Sack's strict enforcement of the law, he might not even be able to pass the first level.

Marlena will be imprisoned, but she will still ask him to kill her. At that time...

Twelve-year-old Renaldo looked at Malena's beautiful figure, full of worry. She had no money to hire a lawyer. Can she really escape jail just by relying on the rich circus owner?

Can he grow up quickly? He already fantasizes about becoming a world-famous lawyer, galloping in the courtroom, beating the judges to pieces, and winning Marlena's heart...

Renaldo stared closely at the rich and handsome man again. He had an excellent demeanor and was calm and confident.

As the judge rang the bell, he announced that the trial had officially begun.

Marlena sat in the middle seat, and the judge said: "Marlena, you are accused of having an improper relationship with Dr. Corodo with the intention of destroying his family."

Renaldo often comes to the court to watch and knows that this is a traditional "question of fact" for the judge, which generally refers to explaining the issue and then arguing it by the lawyers of both sides.

"Marlena, do you know Dr. Corodo?" The white-haired judge looked at Malena.

Malena: "We know you!"

"Have you ever been his fiancée?"

"Absolutely not!" Marlena clenched her fists, "How could I be engaged to a married person? That was made up by him."

"Then why is Dentist Corodo at your door?"

"I have no idea?"

"Then does he sleep with you at night?"

"Absolutely not!"

Judge Thacker asked: "What are you doing?"

"I was chatting with my new neighbor Mr. William. He kindly brought a basket of rich food. I ate some."

Marlena said it very calmly, all this is true.

Although Mr. William did not tell her how to win the lawsuit, she believed in him, and she would say it even if it might affect her reputation.

Sure enough, the expressions of the male and female jurors below changed. They looked at the man on the seat and cursed one after another.

Renaldo also looked at the man. He could testify for Marlena that what she said was true, because he secretly climbed up a tree and watched the whole process.

"Is it Mr. William?"

Renaldo hid in the crowd and watched as the judge said hello. The man, who was as elegant as a gentleman, stood up and answered. He first introduced his identity, which aroused everyone's amazement.

Renaldo could see clearly that when those women heard the real estate and money figures, their eyes shone with light, and they wished they could replace Marlena, and at the same time their hatred became deeper and deeper.

The judge asked: "Mr. William, can you testify to Ms. Marlena's words."

"Yes, as she said, we were just chatting, and soon we saw the dentist and the guard fighting."

"I couldn't see it later, so I called the police. I made detailed notes at the police station, and the police also confirmed the truth about me and Ms. Marlena. This is the document given by the police, you can take a look."

Lawyer Toby in the town gritted his teeth and hated it unbearably. If there was such a thing, then Marlena would be very sure of being freed from guilt, and he wouldn't be needed anymore.

The judge took the document, looked at it, and nodded, "Well, it's basically certain that Ms. Marlena is innocent."

"Wait!" The pudgy lawyer Toby stood up suddenly, "There are still doubts in the case. Who would believe that the notorious Marlena would have nothing to do with a rich gentleman with excellent grace?"

He opened his arms, with an exaggerated expression that only appeared in oil paintings, and asked the jury: "Do you believe it?"

The jury audience was whispering to each other, and Toby was as excited as a speech. He turned to look at the judge, "Based on careful investigation, it is only possible that Marlena chose this gentleman under the inducement of food?"

"He, a foreigner, is like Satan. He shamelessly seduces Ms. Marlena. His words are not trustworthy."

His loud voice caused more men below to scold Chen Jun. Marlena was already anxious when she saw this, "Mr. William didn't seduce me, it's because I can't stand the temptation of food."

"So it was you who took the initiative to hook up with him?" Toby narrowed his eyes and pointed at the jurors in the audience. "You heard that it was she who took the initiative to hook up with this foreigner. She made the choice under the inducement of food.

Fallen."

Chen Jun didn't expect Marlena to be so anxious to defend him for such a simple rhetorical trap. It was also the first time that he saw how powerful a litigant was. He thought about how powerful a barrister like Tom Hagen, who was only responsible for the Corleone family, was.

sharp?

"Mr. Judge, pronounce the verdict."

Chen Jun ignored Lawyer Toby's call.

"His words and actions are extremely ridiculous. He can come to me to apply for the role of clown, and his words have nothing to do with this case."

The judge immediately sounded the alarm and asked the clerk on the left to announce the result.

Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect it to end so easily. Even Marlena was surprised. It was too fast. It felt like the judge just listened to Mr. William's words and ended it.

Chen Jun unshackled Marlena's hands on the seat. You are not guilty!

"Mr. Judge, I am not convinced!"

Toby stood up and said, "Marlena took the initiative to hook up with the rich man, but the evidence provided by the rich man was not credible."

"The result has been announced. Are you questioning the authority of the court?"

"Even if Marlena took the initiative to hook up and they had a relationship, does this have anything to do with the case? If you have any doubts, you can go through the process. If you do this now, I will regard it as contempt of authority."

"All right."

Toby was unwilling to give in. He looked at Marlena's charming appearance and thought that if he couldn't get her, he would be ruined. Then he waved his hand and shouted: "Marlena is a shameless slut, she..."

His words were echoed by many women, but before he could finish speaking, Chen Jun kicked him to pieces.

Hahaha.....

All the male jurors burst into laughter.

"I want to accuse you of beating someone and hurting someone." Lawyer Toby stood up.

"You can choose to sue me, but you must produce an injury report and go through the process."

Some men laughed even more wildly. Chen Jun took Marlena out and walked into the aisle. He suddenly turned around and said: "On Sunday, a circus performance will be held on the beach of the town. It will be free for the residents of the town.

Anyone who is interested can watch it.”

The crowd cheered like Reinado's half-grown children. There was very little entertainment in Sicily, and the free circus performance was simply a gift.

When he arrived at Marlena's house, Marlena poured him a cup of scented tea.

Chen Jun saw a smile on her face, and she was laughing all the way, "Looking at the angry and helpless expressions of the dentist and his wife, you should be relieved. You should smile more, it looks good."

Marlena nodded lightly and said softly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Why do you want to perform for free?" she asked in confusion.

"Sometimes free is the most expensive thing. What I want is not money, so how much money can they give me?"

Chen Jun shook his head jokingly, he had more tricks waiting for the residents of this small town later.

Malena chewed on the words free and expensive in her heart, holding hands with complicated emotions. Isn't she being helped for free now? What does Mr. William want to get from her?

Want her body?

If he insists on coming, what can she do?

Can she resist, or wants to?

Marlena's body tensed up and her mood became extremely complicated. She took out the rolled currency lira from her pocket and said, "Mr. William, although I don't know how you impressed Mr. Judge, the cost will not be small."

"I know this money is not much for you, but I will find a job and pay it off as soon as possible."

"Okay." Chen Jun glanced at her trembling hands, knowing her psychology, and said softly, "I know this is the money you paid for selling your hair. I will wait for you to pay it back as soon as possible. If you don't have a job, you can come to me.

.”

He didn't dislike it at all, took the money and left.

Malena looked at the disappearing resolute figure, and it seemed that she had really misunderstood the noble Mr. William. Thinking of her reaction just now, she might be disappointed in his eyes.

Somehow, a sense of loss lingered in Marlena's heart.
