Chris's lawyer, Ms. Andersson, stood with graceful confidence. Her blonde hair was neatly pinned back, her posture commanding attention despite her youth. "Your Honor, the opposition's claims are entirely false. Lily Smith was never the bully - she was the victim. Ms. Sterling has tormented her since childhood, all because of the Nysoria gold mines inheritance."
Ms. Andersson's clear voice carried through the courtroom. "Most recently, Ms. Sterling attempted murder on a private aircraft. She personally orchestrated a hijacking attempt on Ms. Smith's life."
Lily's heart raced as her lawyer continued, "Furthermore, Ms. Sterling has formed an alliance with the Russian drug lord known as Znakomstvo. Her mere presence threatens the peace of our independent nation - a nation whose existence remains carefully hidden from the world."
