In the office of the Chief Judge, Jade sat across from the man who seemed to be in his mid-sixties.
"Are you related to Lawrence Hank?" he asked, watching her, and Jade smiled.
"Yes, I am. But that is totally unrelated to the reason I took up this case," Jade said confidently.
"Why then did you take it up knowing who you are going against?" the chief judge asked, and Jade shrugged.
"It's a matter of justice. I believe my client is innocent. Hence I'm defending him," Jade said, and he glared at her.
"If he were innocent, my son wouldn't be lying dead right now...."
"We both know your son is not dead," Jade cut in, surprising him.
"I beg your pardon?" the chief judge asked.
