The courtroom stirred, curiosity piqued. The judge leaned forward, intrigued. Valerie gasped, her hand tightening around Greg's. What was Harry doing?!
Harry's words painted a subtle picture. "Zoey's manipulative nature, impulsivity, and lack of empathy are symptoms of her mental instability, not her flaws…" he avoided Valerie's gaze and lowered his head in shame.
Zoey's gaze lifted, a glimmer of hope flickering in her eyes. She didn't think that Harry would help her at this time, when everyone had turned against her.
"Are you trying to tell the court that Miss Zoey's criminal actions should be dismissed?" Mr. Tones' eyes turned piercing, glaring at Harry, hoping he'd make a mistake so he'd hack on it.
"Objection, My Lord!" Zoey's lawyer cried out.
"Sit down!" The judge waved his hand dismissively.
