The judge accepted the documents from Cindy and went over them, meanwhile, Chris stared at Cindy in surprise. He had thought that Cindy did not know what she was doing when she kept asking Lily funny questions but now he couldn't help but worry.

Could Cindy have enough evidence to debunk their claims? If like she said, she had already predicted what Lily wanted to do then there was a need to worry. He had thought that the case would easily be approved for trial but now he was afraid.

It was bad enough that there was a sex tape of Lily out there. If they lost the case, his reputation would take a big hit, and Lily wasn't bound to fare any better.

He could only hope that the preliminary hearing will be in their favor and after that, they would get as much evidence against Jack, even if the pieces of evidence were false, he would make them true.

When the judge had gone over the documents, Cindy continued, "Now, Miss. Belov claims that Mr. Grant drank the wine she had ordered. She planned quite well but what she did not know was that on the day she had the meeting with Mr. Grant, I picked out his clothes beforehand.

Just close to Mr. Grant's shirt collar, I attached a spy camera and I didn't take it off until after Miss. Belov visited him at the station."

Cindy turned and stared at Lily with a smile on her face, "Yes, everything that happened has been captured by me and made into a CD."

Lily opened her eyes in surprise and her heart began to beat fast. Her attorney looked at her and then at Chris. He hoped that Cindy was bluffing because losing to a rookie like her was a big blow to his pride.

Cindy didn't want the judge to know that she had placed the camera on Jack while he was at the station because she feared that the evidence might be rejected.

She also knew that the officers who arrested Jack would be shocked that they didn't notice the camera on him but she was not going to admit it because she knew that most of them were on Lily's side, especially the prosecuting officer.

If they wanted to dispute it, it was going to be their word against hers. Jack was really surprised as well. He couldn't also understand why he hadn't realized that there was a camera on him when he met Lily. Perhaps he had missed it because he wasn't in his best state.

He recalled when he had just returned from Sky blue hotels, the morning he was arrested. Cindy had pretended to be angry and even showed him a mirror so he could see the lipstick stains and scratch marks on his face.

When he was staring at his reflection in the mirror in surprise, Cindy's hand had been on his shirt. He didn't understand her actions back then but it all made sense to him now.

He stared at Cindy in admiration and could not help feeling guilty. While he had been jealous and thought that Cindy was attracted to Chris Belov, she had been busy doing her best to keep him from harm. It now seemed as though she had deliberately set a trap for Lily and she had fallen right in.

Cindy took out two CDs from her bag and showed them to the judge. "One of these CDs shows what really happened at the hotel and the other shows what happened at the station. They are both from Mr. Grant's perspective since he had the camera on him.

This means that we won't be able to see his face but we can see Miss. Belov's and we can hear both their voices."

Cindy slid the disc into the player and everyone in the court including the judge watched silently. They saw when Lily ordered the bottle of wine and kept drinking. She invited Jack to join her but he politely declined.

When she pretended to be in pain and called for Jack to help her, the judge quickly turned her face and stared at her for a while before returning her attention to the video.

Lily felt very ashamed. After everything she had said, everyone was going to look down on her. She stared at Cindy with so much hatred. This must be why Cindy had asked her those questions. Her plan was to humiliate her in the end.

"You are really cruel Cindy," Lily thought. "I'm not going to rest until I deal with you and destroy your reputation as well."

The video showed when Lily was placed on the bed and she begged Jack to stay with her until her doctor arrived but he refused.

Jack's father smiled when Lily threw herself on Jack but her pushed her away and called her a bitch. He felt proud of his son.

The video also showed how she told Jack that he was so hot but his voice could be heard saying, "Tell your brother that my agency doesn't need him anymore. And remember this, I am not into plastic dolls."

The sound of the door was heard closing and the video showed the outside of Lily's hotel room. Jack's voice was heard as he screamed in pain and after that, it went dark.

Cindy took out the disc and put in the next one but before playing it, she said, "Your honor, it is now clear to this honorable court that Miss. Belov is nothing but a cheap and shameless liar.

Everything was a setup from the onset. Her brother deliberately didn't show up for the meeting as planned while she booked a room and waited for Mr. Grant who had no idea of the trap that had been laid for him.

She tried to seduce him because she wanted him to have sex with her but Mr. Grant who is highly devoted to his girlfriend rejected her advances and made it clear that he wasn't interested.

What then did she do? We can clearly see that Mr. Grant left her room but his scream shows that she attacked him and, the camera went off when he fell on the floor. It is now obvious to this court who had the hotel footage deleted as it seems to favor Miss. Belov a lot.

Mr. Grant was dragged back into the room which had someone else probably hiding in the toilet. He was fed substances that would affect his memory and Miss. Belov scratched his face repeatedly, leaving marks on his handsome face to support her claim.

She got someone to put on Mr. Grant's clothes and have sex with her while she had it recorded and made it look like she was assaulted. In his unconscious state, Mr. Grant was dumped on the same chair where he earlier sat and he woke up the next morning feeling disoriented.

The doctor's report that I gave to you shows that there were other substances detected in his body fluids all thanks to Miss. Lily.

Now, why would she go through the trouble of framing Mr. Grant? Well, I'm going to play the second CD right now to show us the reason."

Chris Belov got extremely ashamed. He couldn't bear the humiliation anymore and got up to leave but Cindy noticed him and said, "Mr. Belov, didn't you want the truth to come out? Why are you leaving when we are not done?"

Chris Belov felt put on the spot as everyone turned and stared at him. He tried to hide his embarrassment and smiled, "I'll be back shortly, I just need to take a call."
