Married to my nemesis-Chapter 255: Surprising

The experience was absolutely remarkable.

Mia found herself struggling to comprehend the unfolding events until they became even more extraordinary and awe-inspiring.

As she observed, the lawyer slowly turned his head toward the audience, and for an instant, it seemed as if he made direct eye contact with her before he redirected his attention back to the judge to continue presenting his arguments.

"Before he rose to prominence, Vixen Joe was resolute in his decision to sever ties with everyone in his life," the lawyer commented.

While his assistant diligently gathered the necessary documents and evidence to support his arguments before the judge.

The judge, a woman, sat with the folder in her hands, carefully scanning through the pages before raising her eyes to focus intently on the lawyer.

She seemed convinced by the details laid out before her.

"Mr. Vixen was not working by himself; he had an entire team supporting him in managing these cases. "

"Are you truly sure about that?" John interjected with a trace of defiance, even though he observed that Abigail’s lawyer maintained a calm and untroubled demeanor.

The attorney shifted his focus once more toward the judge, ready to present further evidence to the court.

"Your Honor, might I seek permission to call upon an individual from the audience to testify and substantiate this claim?" he inquired of the judge.

At that moment, Mia’s expression became even more stern and serious.

She found herself deeply contemplating what circumstances could have entirely shifted the spotlight onto Lane Marvel.

To her utter amazement, her heart pounded with disbelief as she listened to the lawyer’s statement: "My Lord, if it pleases the court, I would like to summon Miss Mia Justin to the witness stand."

Mia’s expression was entirely consumed by a deep frown, as she was utterly taken aback by this unforeseen turn of events, and she watched intently as the lawyer pivoted to look directly at her.

What could possibly be the reason for involving her in this matter at this moment?

Moreover, taking such actions would merely intensify the online speculation surrounding her, particularly since the media was relentlessly monitoring this case.

Mia was caught off guard, momentarily paralyzed in her chair, until she eventually rose when a court official came over to her.

To her utter amazement, she found herself standing in the witness box.

This turn of events was unforeseen, yet she recognized that, as a witness for the opposition against Vixen, she now had the chance to play a crucial role in keeping Vixen entangled in his current dilemma.

This particular set of circumstances was undoubtedly bound to result in his eventual downfall, an outcome that seemed almost inevitable given the situation.

Mia acted with great speed and efficiency, promptly setting the required procedures into motion. Afterward, she watched with keen interest as the lawyer approached her.

Without hesitation, he began to inundate her with a barrage of pointed and investigative questions.

"Miss Mia," the lawyer asked with a formal tone, "in light of the evidence that has been presented to the judge, could you please inform both me and the entire court of how many years you have been familiar with Mr. Vixen?"

Mia’s expression turned into a frown as she directed her eyes towards the lawyer, contemplating why the length of time she had known Vixen was of any relevance to the current case they were discussing.

Yet, with a hint of hesitation, she eventually confessed, "I’ve been familiar with Vixen for quite a while now."

"We’ve heard rumors that you were close with Prudence Lane before her unfortunate passing. Is that correct, ma’am?" the lawyer probed, to which Mia confidently nodded in agreement.

"So, by that account, you must have encountered Mr. Vixen at some point, correct?" the lawyer pressed further.

"Indeed, though he was genuinely more interested in Prudence, so our conversations were quite limited," Mia revealed, hoping this would suffice to clear her stance if needed.

"However, considering you were acquainted with Prudence, wouldn’t you have had the opportunity to converse with him on occasion, correct?"

"Indeed, yet I’m puzzled. What exactly is the connection to the situation at hand?" Mia remarked, striving to keep her voice steady despite her mounting frustration.

Then, in the following instant, she observed the lawyer redirect his attention back to the judge.

"Your Honor, upon examining the evidence that has been laid out before you, it becomes apparent that Miss Prudence was tragically murdered by an individual. The question that arises is, who could have committed such an act?"

"In conducting my investigation, I unearthed some crucial information that revealed on that fateful night, it was indeed Vixen who took the life of Prudence. However, my discoveries did not end there."

"As I delved deeper into the case, I was taken aback to find, based on our comprehensive reports, that not only was Mr. Vixen involved, but Miss Mia Justin also had a role in this case," the lawyer declared.

"What?" Mia exclaimed, her voice filled with shock as she watched the lawyer shift his gaze toward her, his expression unwavering as he prepared to respond.

"It’s not just this man you see standing right here," the lawyer explained, gesturing toward the bald man. "But you were also present at the scene and played a role in the tragic death of your best friend."

Mia’s face clouded with a frown, her eyebrows furrowing in utter disbelief.

"Are you seriously suggesting that I would join forces with Vixen to murder my own best friend?" she asked, her voice laced with incredulity.

"I am not entirely sure what your involvement with Mr. Vixen might be, but our evidence is unequivocally clear. Should you doubt my honesty regarding this matter—" The lawyer declared assertively.

Then he strode purposefully towards the witness box where the baldheaded man stood, before proceeding with his interrogation.

"Sir, I require you to disclose, beyond Mr. Vixen, who else have you collaborated with or been solicited to eliminate?"

Mia looked on in astonishment, already perceiving that the entire scenario was undoubtedly a setup, which signified that this case was solely targeted at her.

It was never about Vixen from the very beginning!

Her gaze was fixed on the bald-headed man, and her eyes widened in disbelief as he spoke the words, "I’ve also worked for Miss Mia."

His confession caused the people in the room to gasp in shock.

"No, I haven’t. I’ve never laid eyes on you before, so why are you lying?" Mia shouted, prompting the judge to bring down the gavel on the table, demanding silence in the courtroom.

Before she knew it, she found herself being accused of something she had never anticipated.

The judge quickly delivered her judgment and subsequently asked for another session to continue the proceedings.

However, given that Mia Justin faced accusations of being an accomplice, supported by evidence, she was ordered to be arrested and held in detention until the hearings were completed.

Mia was taken aback; they hadn’t even touched upon Vixen’s case, yet she found herself facing arrest for allegedly being Vixen’s accomplice.

In the following moments, she watched as the judge rose from her seat, marking the conclusion of the hearing.

Mia found herself at a loss for words, completely stunned by the unexpected turn of events.

How could something like this possibly occur?

The officers present in the room approached her, and then they started to secure her wrist with handcuffs.

It was at that precise moment that Mia snapped back to reality, fully aware that she was on the brink of being taken into custody.

Desperately, she attempted to create a commotion in an effort to free herself from their grasp.

However, the officers proved to be swift and strong, leaving her with no choice but to comply and go along with them.

As she exited the room, her eyes drifted over to Vixen, and in that moment, she caught sight of him confidently saluting her with his fingers, a wicked grin playing on his lips as he observed her being led away.

Meanwhile, she observed the lawyers as they rose from their seats, making their way toward the direction of Vixen just after he had been escorted out.

Mia clenched her teeth, fury and vengeance blazing in her gaze, appearing as if she was seething internally, with plans brewing to orchestrate further events for him to endure.

As she stepped out of the courtroom, the media wasted no time in bombarding her with a deluge of questions.

Fortunately, the police officers provided a protective barrier around her, ensuring her safety until she was securely placed inside the van.

The flashing cameras, the swarm of reporters, and the cacophony of voices from the crowd caused Mia to feel disconnected from her usual self.

Her mind was consumed by the relentless thoughts of how Vixen had orchestrated this predicament she found herself in. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Failure was simply not an option for her.

She needed to devise a plan.

Ultimately.
