Chapter 740 - Life Is Important 'cause Of Responsibilities



Inside Justice Rowlatt\'s office, during break time,

\'Knock\'

He was checking the points and mulling over the details when he heard a knock on the door. He lifted his head and saw the chief of police with a foreign man in a black suit. 

Chief of police spoke, "Justice Rowlatt, we have orders from the chief justice to pass on to you."

Justice Rowlatt was a judge at the city level, whereas the chief Justice stands above all. He signaled them to get inside the room and accepted the envelope from the chief. 

He opened the letter glancing at the foreign man. He skimmed through the contents. It had details of the criminal case in the country S. If Leon Harmon is proven innocent, he would be shifted to country S for further investigation. If he was proven guilty and the punishment was found to be deemed unsuitable, he would be handled according to country S\'s law because Aarvi Evans is the country S\'s most respectable family member.

So the Chief Justice was pressuring him to mark the case as the most important one and come to the conclusion without any delays. If Leon is taken to country S, the case would be recognized as an international affair and attracts a negative impact on the country and its development.

Of course, they didn\'t know the real reason behind Jaxon\'s actions. He didn\'t want to leave any leeway for Leon. Although he believed Aarvi could handle herself with Aaron beside her, he did his part as the attack was also because of his family. 

And the main reason was, Aarvi had no plans to appear in the limelight. However, Evans\'s enemy changed her plans. Hence Jaxon and his father felt responsible for her livelihood. If the case dragged on for many days, Aarvi might end up sending Aaron to Country S and stay back. Or Aaron might miss the chance to join the top research institute. So they had every reason to support her in secret.

Justice Rowlatt questioned as he folded the paper, "Isn\'t Aarvi Evans the president of a domestic company? How is she connected to country S, Evans family?" It wasn\'t an interrogation, his curiosity.

"President Evans is a citizen of country S." Driss Carlos responded in a roundabout.

Rowlatt, understood as Aarvi belongs to the Evans family. However, Rowlatt didn\'t know anything about the Evans family.

Rowlatt inserted the letter into the envelope and put it in a drawer, "Driss Carlos, I have attended your conference."

Driss Carlos was one of the top lawyers in country S. Since he serves Evans Industries, excluding the business circle, the public hardly knew him. "It\'s my honor," He unemotional responded, trying to put an end to the conversation.

However Rowlatt continued, "Why are you assisting a no-name lawyer?"

Driss stated like a robot, "Mr. Morris won\'t be a no-name anymore, this day forward." There is always a turning point, Nikun got it from his case. Disregarding that, Driss had spoken to Nikun before they came to court, even though Nikun lacked experience, Driss acknowledged Nikun\'s talent.

He brushed off the main question because he didn\'t want to tell, Aarvi wanted to handle her problems in her way. He was merely there to make sure Jaxon\'s behind-the-scenes task went smoothly.

Rowlatt was a smart man so he didn\'t question. "Alright, thank you." He watched Driss Carlos leave while he thought about the case. He felt the case was deeper than it was looking on the surface.

-----

The session resumed smoothly after fifteen minutes. Aarvi stood in the witness box for questioning. She couldn\'t understand why she was being questioned when Leon was the criminal.

James resumed from where he had left. "Mrs.Rivas, why did you leave the house when you knew your life was in danger?"

The truth was she wanted them to act and they could catch them. However, she chose a different truth for the question, "One, I have a conglomerate to handle. Two. Shareholder\'s meeting at Harmon Industries. I can\'t ignore my responsibility for a hoax."

"Is your responsibility more important in your life?" He argued back.

Shawn wanted to yawn as James was just wasting time but trying his mind game and tricks on her. She was professional at it.

"Honestly, my life is important because of my responsibilities."

James expected a yes or no response. She was trickier than he expected.

"Could you please explain?"

Aarvi gave him a look that said \'You lonely human being, how could you understand my response?\'

"Sure." She answered sweetly, "I have the responsibilities of being a daughter, daughter-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, granddaughter, granddaughter-in-law, a friend, a wife, and an employer. If I am none of these, I am practically nothing in this world. So how can I ignore my life?" Then she stood so innocently as if she didn\'t know what she had just done.

Everyone: "..."

Justice Rowlatt first time felt James got a speaker who could outsmart him. He picked the wooden hammer and slammed it thrice. "Advocate Crawford, don\'t waste court time."

"I am sorry, Your Honor."

The questionnaire continued, Nikun purposefully didn\'t object because this way, Aarvi wouldn\'t be called again and again to the witness box for questioning.

Whenever James tried to twist his questions to trick her, her responses were sounding reasonable but they were twisted in a way, James was finding it hard to point out that she was in the wrong or lying.

But when James picked the past of Aarvi and Leon, Nikun\'s ear sharpened. "Mrs. Rivas, when did you see my client for the first time?"

This was the toughest question.

Aarvi had no idea if Leon had any proof of meeting her in Sean\'s engagement. Thinking of the devil, Sean blurted out in a hurry, "My engagement." Sean tried to save her because he had seen Aarvi\'s picture captured at his engagement party.

Leon gritted his teeth and James\' face darkened. The judge slammed the wooden hammer on the table, "Silence, please. Nobody should speak except the person in the witness box."

Sean shrugged it off and flashed an affectionate smile when Aarvi glanced behind. Thrown out of the courtroom? He felt it was worth it if he could help Aarvi.

Aeon watched his little brother. The future of Sean scared him, but he forgot he had fallen for the same woman and wasn\'t thinking of his future either.

Nikun kicked Aaron\'s leg under the table and whispered, "Seems like you have a rival."

Aaron looked at his wife who doesn\'t like romantic affection from anybody else. He knew she hadn\'t expected Sean to change for good, which was making her feel guilty for playing with his heart.

Aarvi took a shallow breath. She was turning front when her gaze landed on Aaron. She faintly smiled at him, closing her eyelids firmly indicating she was alright.

Aaron responded to his friend, "When her eyes are only on me, I don\'t have to care about eyes are on her."

Nikun smiled hearing his friend. That friend who was ready to live single was now giving him a couple goals.

Aarvi responded to the question, "I am not sure when I saw Leon Harmon. Perhaps magazine, news channels. But yeah, I spoke to him on the Sean Harmon\'s engagement." Even if Sean hadn\'t told her about the engagement, she would have handled it as she doesn\'t quite remember the first time.

James and Leon\'s plan fell on the face, pretty much because of Sean.
