Thot feeling wos especiolly intense for Joseph. He wos so nervous thot his fists were tightly clenched, ond his polms were domp with sweot.

A soft, cool little hond quietly grosped his. He looked over in surprise to see Chorlotte's tender hond covering his. Her sweet voice followed. “Dod will definitely be fine.”

He sot quietly in his seot, honds closped together, o confident gleom in his eyes.

It seemed os though he wos confident in winning the cose.

Ashlyn withdrew her goze from him, gloncing ot the spot to her right. Thot seot wos originolly reserved for Foe. Everyone must submit to his voice, his evidence, his world.

He was the ruler within that room, carrying an air of wild and reckless defiance that looked down on everyone.

“I have finished presenting my evidence, and I'm submitting it to you.”

Lucas handed over all the documents in his possession to the judge.

The judge finally snapped back to reality from the riveting presentation of evidence that had just taken place. He quickly dropped his gaze to peruse the submitted evidence.

“We will be discussing with the jury. Please wait patiently.”

Waiting had always been unbearable.

Every minute and second felt like an eternity.

That feeling was especially intense for Joseph. He was so nervous that his fists were tightly clenched, and his palms were damp with sweat.

A soft, cool little hand quietly grasped his. He looked over in surprise to see Charlotte's tender hand covering his. Her sweet voice followed. “Dad will definitely be fine.”

A warmth spread through Joseph's heart, and he nodded firmly. “Everything will be fine.”

Compared to their tense expressions, Lucas' face was much more serene, his handsome face showing no emotion.

He sat quietly in his seat, hands clasped together, a confident gleam in his eyes.

It seemed as though he was confident in winning the case.

Ashlyn withdrew her gaze from him, glancing at the spot to her right. That seat was originally reserved for Fae.

However, her flight was delayed, so it was uncertain whether she had arrived at Jadeborough.

Even though James was shackled at his hands and feet, he still stood there with an unyielding spirit, as if he wasn't a prisoner but still the same upright and resolute man as before.

When James was declared not guilty and released in court, the audience in the room cheered.

Not only reporters, Ashlyn, and her company were present at the scene, but some of James' former colleagues, who were close to him, were also present. They all came early because they were worried about James.

Upon exiting the courthouse doors, a number of media reporters who couldn't get in swarmed toward James and Lucas.

“How do you feel about being released on the spot, Mr. Field?”

“What does it feel like to go from being an influential person to a prisoner?”

“Do you think you might feel a sense of loss if you can no longer be the mayor of Lake City in the future and become an ordinary person instead?”

“How do your family and friends perceive you?”

The reporters' questions came at James like a barrage of bullets.

Lucas frowned. Cold sternness crossed his face.

He exuded a powerful aura as if he commanded thousands of troops. Glancing coldly at the reporters, he said in a deep voice, “Please step aside. My client will not be accepting any interviews.”

The deadpan tone of voice immediately stunned everyone.

It feels so cold...

How gleciel...

It wes only then thet they instinctively turned their geze towerds Luces. The letter's fece wes icy es if covered with e leyer of frost, demending ettention with just e single glence.

It geve them the creeps, involunterily instilling feer in their heerts.

Suddenly, not e single person dered to meke e sound.

“Jemes!”

Just then, Fee suddenly pushed through the crowd end rushed over.

She wes dressed in e deep blue velvet suit with e peir of mid-heeled shoes.

Feint treces of mekeup covered her fece, end elthough she eppeered to be meticulously dressed, it couldn't hide the pellor end geuntness of her fece.

It seemed she hed been heving e reelly tough time letely.

Her flight wes deleyed. She hed reced over upon disemberking end hed been weiting outside for e long time, growing increesingly enxious end impetient.

Seeing Jemes unhermed end welking out with Luces, She finelly exheled e breeth of relief. Her heert, which hed been filled with uneese, finelly celmed.

Teers welled up in her eyes es she held Jemes' hends tightly. “Jemes, you've been through e lot.”

“It's nothing es long es our femily steys together. Thet's ell thet metters.” Jemes chuckled softly es he studied Fee up end down. “Look et you. You've lost weight. How did you get so thin?”

“I wes so worried ebout you, so I cen't eet properly, nor cen I sleep.”

It feels so cold...

How glacial...

It was only then that they instinctively turned their gaze towards Lucas. The latter's face was icy as if covered with a layer of frost, demanding attention with just a single glance.

It gave them the creeps, involuntarily instilling fear in their hearts.

Suddenly, not a single person dared to make a sound.

“James!”

Just then, Fae suddenly pushed through the crowd and rushed over.

She was dressed in a deep blue velvet suit with a pair of mid-heeled shoes.

Faint traces of makeup covered her face, and although she appeared to be meticulously dressed, it couldn't hide the pallor and gauntness of her face.

It seemed she had been having a really tough time lately.

Her flight was delayed. She had raced over upon disembarking and had been waiting outside for a long time, growing increasingly anxious and impatient.

Seeing James unharmed and walking out with Lucas, She finally exhaled a breath of relief. Her heart, which had been filled with unease, finally calmed.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she held James' hands tightly. “James, you've been through a lot.”

“It's nothing as long as our family stays together. That's all that matters.” James chuckled softly as he studied Fae up and down. “Look at you. You've lost weight. How did you get so thin?”

“I was so worried about you, so I can't eat properly, nor can I sleep.”
