Remarried Wife: Mr. Ex, We Will Never Reconcile!-Chapter 133: Judgment: Mr. Kane, Long Time No See

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Judgment: Mr. Kane, Long Time No See

He fell in love with her at first sight.

On the stage, she was the pure and fragile White Swan, the junior that Noah Grant admired, the distant and untouchable beauty that even Jasper Crowe could not pursue. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Her nobility ignited his frenzied desire for conquest.

Winning her became a medal he must earn, a six-year-long hunt, pursued by any means necessary.

In that meticulously planned accident, the moment he unbuckled the seatbelt and risked his life to pounce towards her, it was not calculation, but the most primal instinct of love—it was not an act!

Ian Kane knew better than anyone that Vera Sheridan hated his deceit the most.

Also, because of that accident, when he risked his life for her, she was moved.

At this moment, he desperately wanted her to understand that her love was not misplaced!

Yet, she, seated at the plaintiff’s bench, kept her head bowed quietly, like a stone sculpture.

No emotion could be seen, surrounded by an aura of indifference as if detached from the matter.

"Vera! Did you hear what I said?!" Ian Kane smashed his fist onto the railing before him, lowly growling and questioning her.

His eyes were fixed on her, bloodshot, pupils dilated slightly in despair.

Vera remained unmoved, as if living in a different world from him.

This extreme indifference formed a sharp contrast with Ian Kane’s hysteria.

Vera’s friends all looked disdainful.

The jury also shook their heads and frowned.

At this moment, Ms. Vera Sheridan’s Lawyer Hale stood up.

"Mr. Kane! Do not use ’love’ and ’affection’ to gloss over the irrefutable harm you’ve caused to my client, Ms. Vera Sheridan!"

"Love is loyalty, trust, and respect! And what you gave Ms. Vera Sheridan was only deceit, control, and betrayal! Your improper relationships with multiple women have caused deep harm to her and your marriage!"

"Given such a background, talking about love? An utter absurdity!"

Attorney Rivers immediately stood up, "Objection! The plaintiff lawyer’s accusations are seriously false and lack evidence! My client, Mr. Ian Kane, only had one inappropriate incident due to drunkenness, and there is no substantial evidence proving any other infidelities!"

Implying only admitting to the incident between Ian Kane and Serena Everett, caught by Vera at The Hawthorne Family’s staircase!

Vera bit her teeth tightly, her mouth twitching.

Ms. Maeve Holloway’s fiery temper was ignited, she stood up again, pointing at Ian Kane in the defendant’s seat, "Ian Kane! Don’t you have any shame?! Speaking lies with your eyes wide open! You and Nina Sullivan’s dirty deeds..."

"Ms. Maeve Holloway, please control your emotions and adhere to courtroom order!" the judge sternly warned.

Ms. Maeve Holloway reluctantly sat down.

Nina Sullivan was always tightly held by Ian Kane, without conclusive evidence to accuse recklessly, she might be counterattacked with slander...

Attorney Rivers seized the opportunity and continued, "Your Honor, esteemed jurors, please allow me to provide some background. My client, Mr. Ian Kane, has been enduring immense pressure within the marriage. It’s well known that Ms. Vera Sheridan has severe psychological shadows, resulting in their long-term sexless marriage."

His words aroused a furor among the jury and the spectators.

Various astonished, inquisitive, and even knowing glances were collectively cast towards the plaintiff’s bench!

Owen Sheridan tightened his fists and stood up abruptly, his peach blossom eyes burning with anger, glaring at Ian Kane’s back, his jawline tightly clenched.

Vera finally lifted her eyelids slightly, her gaze impassive.

This was the first time Ian Kane publicly discussed her "frigidity."

To this extent, he was still strenuously maintaining his reputation!

She bowed her head, her fingers quickly tapping on her phone screen, sending a text: "In five minutes."

Attorney Rivers caught the loosening expressions on some jury members’ faces and was secretly pleased.

"Yet! Mr. Ian Kane has never uttered a word of complaint regarding this! He deeply loves his wife and has always guarded Ms. Vera Sheridan with the utmost patience, tolerance, and endurance!"

He scanned the male members of the jury, "In a prolonged sexless marriage, I ask how many of the gentlemen present could truly make no complaints, staying loyal and protective?"

"That one instance of losing control due to alcohol was indeed an irrevocable, heart-wrenching mistake in Mr. Ian Kane’s life!"

Then he changed his tone, "But please pay attention! It was only once! A momentary lapse under long-term repression and alcohol-induced numbness! It was by no means deliberate betrayal or malicious harm to the marriage! His heart is filled with endless remorse and self-reproach!"

Attorney Rivers took a deep breath, seemingly moved by this "deep love":

"Everyone just heard Mr. Ian Kane’s heartfelt confession! His love for Ms. Vera Sheridan has never changed despite the trials and tribulations!"

Looking at the jury earnestly, "I implore everyone to understand, for a man to do what Mr. Ian Kane has in a marriage—enduring sexual deprivation while maintaining loyalty and affection for his wife—is truly not easy! He made one mistake, but can that erase all his contributions and profound love? Isn’t this persistence and deep sentiment worthy of a hint of understanding and tolerance?"

The courtroom fell into an eerie silence.

Though Attorney Rivers’ words caused many to frown, he also successfully noticed a clear hesitation, sympathy, and even a hint of agreement on several jurors’ faces.

Ian Kane still kept his eyelids down, his lips tightly pressed together, not uttering a word.

Ms. Maeve Holloway was trembling with anger, her nails dug deeply into her palms, wishing to rush up and tear apart their hypocritical faces!

Yet she was silently stopped by a calm, water-like gaze from Vera.

At this moment, Lawyer Hale stood up again with steadiness and strength:

"Your Honor! We are requesting to summon an important witness to testify in court!"

"Bang!"

The courtroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the loud noise interrupted the silence of the court.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.

At the doorway, against the light, stood a young, charming figure.

She wore a plain dress, with a white mask on her face, only revealing a pair of apricot eyes strikingly similar to Vera Sheridan’s.

However, the slightly upturned corners of her eyes exuded an innate seductive charm.

Entirely different from Vera’s cold and aloof temperament.

The girl ignored the focused gazes of the audience and walked directly towards the witness stand.

After standing in place, amidst countless watchful eyes, she raised her hand and slowly removed the mask from her face.

With an air of nonchalance and arrogance, Ian Kane glanced at her.

Upon seeing the girl’s face, his expression slowly solidified.

The man’s jaw tightened, instinctively clenching his fists, and a formidable aura of oppressive authority radiated from him!

The girl raised her chin, her beautiful eyes fearless as they met his chilling gaze.

Her red lips parted slightly, curling into a provocative arc, her voice carried a faint lilt:

"Mr. Kane, long time no see."
