Chapter 452 - In Their Favor

Lana stood up and began presenting her case.

"With due regards to the Judiciary and the justice sitting in charge of the courtroom here, the first thing I want to present as the basis of my case is the letter left by my client's mother which clearly states how Mr. Xander Yang was unknowingly connected with the Yue Clan by blood. 

This makes him the only alive true heir to the clan's leadership, and that was something which made the accused try to kill my client several times which he escaped sometimes by his wit and sometimes by his luck. Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=14191303206660205)/in-their-favor_%!d(string=46497321130714723) for visiting.

Your honour, as everyone is aware of, the previous King Arthur the legitimate son and the pure blood king of Yue Clan bore twins, his twin daughters were Kanya and Kelly who everyone thought had died in an accident. But the truth was that the twins were not dead. Instead, they lived in silence and disguise peacefully in country V. 

They lived the life of an ordinary person and wanted to stay away from this world of chaos and crime. Eventually they met their partners and got married with them and Kelly bore a son named Bernard and Kanya bore a son as well who is Xander Yang." Lana started and introduced Xander to everyone as Kanya's only living offspring.

"As I've stated, the family of Mr. Yang lived harmoniously in a peaceful place until King Arthur, the twins' father, died. And then began the tragic suffering and ruthless killings of King Arthur's lineage to gain unhindered control of powers for misuse and crime..." Lana added.

"I object, your honor," Lana's face twitched hearing Liam, the lawyer representing Yun, interrupting her narration. But then she kept her cool, engraving Liam's words to trust him. He kept repeating those words that night at Plumeria Island… 'To trust him, whatever happens, and continue to fight for justice and what was right'. 

'But why is he even representing the unjust side?' Lana mused, but quickly cleared her thoughts from anything distracting to focus entirely on the trial.

"The accusation laid by my opponents is absolutely baseless. It is nothing but just a fake story created by the plaintiff's side. Those twins were not rumored to be dead, but they actually died in that accident and we also have evidence for the same, including their mortal remains. Here is a proof that the remains lying in the Yue Clan territory are of the twins, Kelly and Kanya." The defendant's lawyer explained and presented the doc.u.ments on the projector.

The judge looked at the councils and asked, "Did we validate the claim?"

"The DNA result matched with the remains of the twins, your honor," one of the council members confirmed.

Lana smirked and hissed, "Of course it's going to match since the bodies at Yue Clan territory right now are the remains of the twins that Yun's men stole from their original graveyards form the Yang and Cooper's graveyards. We have all the evidence of their stealing, of course, but what you should check right now is the age of the remains that are present in the Yue Clan's territory. 

Your honour, the defendant claimed that the twins died when they were around eighteen years old, but the forensic analysis of the skeletal remains of the twins in their possession right now says that the deceased were in their twenties when they died." Lana stated and presented the forensic reports with the DNA test results doc.u.ments in front of the court.

Xander was absorbing everything in his heart. He was feeling a murderous aura surrounding him each time the tragedy with his mother was mentioned. He gritted his teeth, recalling how he lost his mother at such a young age to fulfill the l.u.s.t of power of some unethical persons . 

Lana then started putting in the evidence of Kelly's murder, one of the twins, that was staged like a natural death during labor by that cruel Yun. She then presented a video left by the attending doctor of Kelly telling the whole mystery behind Kelly's unnatural death, before the doctor died. 

In the video, the doctor was already very old and was crying profusely because Yun had instructed to pronounce the baby as still born and kill the newborn before anyone knew about it being alive, but her conscience could not allow her to do it even though she was threatened to do that.

Yun, who thought everything that time was cleaned up well, was shocked to his core when he saw the well prepared and neatly presented case with unlimited evidence in the hands of his enemies. He cursed and winced in his seat multiple times. Their side had not ever expected the bomb Xander's side had hurled at them.

The lawyer from Yun's side didn't expect all that evidence and probably was not even aware of all such incidents and was kept in the dark about many of them. He could only glare at his own client for keeping him short of information.

It was almost lunchtime when Lana presented her evidence of Kelly's murder and then a break was announced, and the trial was postponed till after lunch.

Xander and Lana were seated in a private room where Chad took care of their meals and accompanied them for lunch.

"Hey, Lana, I saw that man at Plumeria island. Yun's lawyer," Chad commented while they were eating.

"Yeah… He is really famous. Liam Sy. He's actually Ryu's cousin." Xander interrupted. He knew Liam by name and his connection with the Kens. The man must have his own reason for taking up Yun's case.

Lana was silent and felt the disdain in Xander's voice for Liam. She hesitated for a while but then after a few minutes she said, "There must be a reason he is doing it, a valid reason for sure. He's a very just man and will not take any crappy case from a monster without any reasonable cause…"

Lana sighed, she knew her husband well. 

"Is he your boyfriend?" Chad teased.

"Yeah… you can say so...." Lana muttered.

"What?!" Chad and Xander exclaimed in chorus.

"Couples don't only fight inside the closed walls, you know, and a couple in the same profession are at loggerheads many times in their working areas, more so if they are lawyers…" Lana commented in a jest. 

No one was aware she was married to Liam except her family and Liam's family and given the contractual agreement between them, something which that rascal used to his convenience, she better not reveal their married status in front of everyone. 

"What kind of relationship is it between you that you both are at loggerheads with each other? Wait! Make sure you won't lose to your boyfriend in this fight, Lana," Xander suddenly said in a worried tone that made Chad laugh hard.

"Why are you laughing! Don't you know Liam Sy? He could win even the most impossible cases that he takes up! He's a veteran compared to Lana! To be honest, I first asked him to fight my case, but he turned me down." Xander mumbled, recalling how Liam turned down his request for an appointment.

Lana's lips pouted and said, "I told you I never have lost a case till now and am never gonna lose against Liam as well. Do I need to repeat that several times to make your trust?" 

Xander heaved a long deep sigh… So far everything was going smoothly in their favor.

"Maybe your boyfriend will let you win? Men often give way to their women, right?" Chad joked to kill the sudden tension in the air.

Lana twitched her mouth. She too wondered if that would be the case. Liam was hiding something from her, and that was for sure.
