Possessive love by powerful billionaire CEO-Chapter 21 - Case Closed With Victory
Aria took the file and stood up while facing the prosecutor .
"Since I have made everyone wait for me today, I shall finish fast , within thirty five minutes to be exact . " said Aria with a smirk .
The prosecutor showed a smile then moved his hand in sign of agreement for her to proceed .
"Thank you , Your Honor ! " said Aria with a warm smile .
'I really don't feel well so I better finish this quickly . ' thought Aria .
"It seems like a total different person .Don't you think ? " whispered Ramolo to Bekora .
"Yes , I do , even more after what she said just now ." whispered Bekora with surprised eyes .
Helios who was watching from behind and an evil smirk showed in his face .
"This will be a very interesting show to watch . Let's see if you're abilities are on pair with your confidence miss little tigress ." said Helios and then continued to watch .
"Firstly , I shall present you the documents that verify my client's income sources for the past three months. Mr Ben presented a document that verified the fact that my client has transferred money from the account of ms Karen . I now shall enlighten you with the real facts . The money used in the latest project are all from mr Helios , mr Bekora and ms Mana's pocket . Here are the transfers all signed and notarized . " said Aria and handed the documents to the prosecutor.
He compared the both of them and notices the difference of some small datas that were most likely false .
He looked at Aria and then she continued with the other case .
"Secondly , about the other cause , that blames my client about stealing the main program style that was supposed to be applied in ms Karen's new project . Are we sure that mr Helios is the one that's supposed to be blamed ? " said Aria and then mr Ben interrupted her .
"Ms Aria , the documents that prove this are all notarized and checked throughly. " said mr Ben in a nervous yet calm tone .
"Mr Ben ! Did I interrupt you during your time while you were presenting your client's dissatisfaction ?! No ! So I ask of you to do the same . We work in a field where respect between colleges is a must . A well known lawyer such as yourself doesn't need me , a junior to remind him of this important rule ?! " said Aria with a serious and angry tone .
She was clearly trying to make him lose his control . Mr Ben was about to burst from anger and speak again but a glance from madam Karen made him realize that this was precisely what Aria wanted .
He calmed himself down and spoke again .
" All the documents are alright and I was merely reminding you . Things can be complicated and you may not understand it . "
"Thank you for your kind reminder but I will pass . " said Aria then ordered Ace to give her the laptop .
"All of the causes that you have brought up , slandering my client of crimes that were never committed shall now receive a proper explanation." said Aria and opened the video on the laptop and showed it to the prosecutor.
In that video Anna was in the tech's department main office and was secretly copying the files of the design of the new project . After claiming the information she needed Anna deleted the video footage of the security camera and the main datas .
' Way to go Aria ! ' thought Bekora while enjoying mr Ben's dump expression. Ramolo also was enjoying this scene to the fullest .
" This is pure footage ! " said mr Ben in a bit of a panicked mode . It was clear that the case had taken another unexpected road to him .
"If you doubt that this video is pure footage mr Ben then I have here with me the most knowledgeable person for the time being in the technology field that can prove it to us . " said Aria with an evil grin and then pointed at Ace .
The prosecutor remained a bit shocked when he say the young Ace standing there . He didn't look like a genius but a normal nineteen year old boy .
"He is your family ms Aria and that isn't counted as a reliable source of judgement. " said mr Ben .
"Shall I inform you that even though he is my brother , he is also the winner of the tech skills competition organized in Cambridge University, in short a true talent . Even If you distrust my judgment , you cannot possibly not trust the royal university's judges . " said Aria in a serious and cool tone while smiling devilishly .
The prosecutor remained surprised. Ace came from the seat next to Bekora and went to the center of the hall where Aria was standing.
" How did you learn of this ? I never told you . " whispered Ace to Aria's ear .
" We will talk about this later and don't even dream of escaping easily. Hiding from me such a news , how could you ?! " whispered Aria with a glare and gave Ace the laptop .
Ace's face showed clearly that he was a bit worried about what to expect when he heard Aria .
He took the laptop , opened some datas and showed them to the prosecutor, all the differences that verified the video's originality.
" Thirdly , there is the another project with the R&B company which was claimed as stolen from party B .." said Aria but was interrupted by mr Ben again .
"Your Honor ! I have the witness right here , the president of R&B company that can tell you everything. " said mr Ben in a desperate state cause the situation was slipping through his hands .
Aria looked at the ceo of R&B and then extended a copy of a contract.
"Before the witnesses starts to speak I shall show him this then he can decide wether to tell the truth or twist it . " said Aria with a determined attitude .
The R&B ceo took the contract and read it . Through reading it he realized that his company was at stake if he didn't collaborate with mr Helios's side . He glanced at Aria who made a sign with her eye telling him to look at the contract again and noticed a small piece of paper in which was written :
( if you take our side we will save you from ms Karen's threats and your company will continue the contract with your company )
He looked at Aria and the soft ,determined, kind look in her eyes made him decide to follow what was written in the card .
"I am telling you that I made a misjudgment but now I want to speak only the truth . " said R&B's ceo .
He still twisted the story a little bit by saying that it was an office mistake . He didn't disclose the fact about ms Karen threatening him with the company's stock .
Aria noticed it but since he was taking back his accuse towards mr Helios then she decided to let it go and not pursue this any further .
She presented two other videos where ms Anna met with ms Karen in private and another one about when ms Karen was discussing with the R&B ceo about the project of collaboration between them .
" With the evidences and witness's confession , the verdict is clear . This case is closed with the victory of mr Helios . " said the prosecutor and then took his hammer .
The noise of the hammer that collided on the prosecutor's table announced the long awaited victory on behalf of the Kastijos .
" It's all over now ! " said mr Ben in a sad tone .
" You useless thing ! You really disappointed me , from today you are fired . " said ms Karen infuriated by the whole situation.
"Another thing Your Honor ! " said Aria.
"Yes miss Aria ? " asked the prosecutor .
" My client was innocent from the start . He had to go through unnecessary court seances , mental stress and economic expenses so it is only normal to ask for a compensation from the other part . " said Aria and fiercely looked at mr Ben .
"Yes you are right . All the unnecessary concerns that were caused deserve to be refunded . State your conditions and hand them over to party B . They have half a year time to fulfill them . With this I declare this case closed . " said the prosecutor.
Ms Karen became ready to leave but Aria blocked her way . Bekora and Ramolo were looking at her while Ace was trying to enter the footage system of the court in order to see what happened to Aria in the toilets .
" This is the compensation ms Karen . Seven billions and full posses of the project in collaboration with the R&B company . You shall discuss the other matters with the CEO himself . Then goodbye. " said Aria and left towards Bekora , Ramolo and Ace who were looking at her surprised .
Ms Karen , who was already enraged by how things ended went out and mr Ben followed her from behind .
"I wouldn't have come up with a better plan of compensation than this . You deserve my respect for taking the courage to go against ms Karen . " said Bekora with a big smile .
"Me too , I think the same !" Said Ramolo .
"Thank you guys ! To me as long as you keep your promise mr Bekora then that is enough . " said Aria with a warm smile .
" Definitely ! And please call me Bekora from now on . The mr thing makes me sound so old in comparison to you when we are nearly the same age ." said Bekora and laughed .
" Okay Bekora ! " said Aria while laughing .
"Everyone's leaving now guys , so we better get going too . " said Aria .
" Today we are gonna celebrate by having dinner at a high class restaurant . You two will sure come right ?! " asked Ramolo .
" If there is cake then I am in ." said Aria with laughter.
"Me too . " said Ace with a smile .
Bekora and Ramolo were happy to the core about how thing turned out . Ace was calm and his face showed a ' I knew it ' expression .
On the other hand Helios who was watching them through his computer breathed a sight of relief with a happy face . He noticed everyone's happy expression but when his eyes looked at Aria he noticed that she was making a forced smile . She had become even paler than before.
" Is she sick ? " murmured Helios while looking at her .
The hall was almost empty. When the four of them were about to step out of the door Aria felt a little dizzy and then fainted.
They were walking but when they didn't see Aria they turned they heads back and saw her laying on the red carpet unconscious.
" ARIA ! " screamed Ace .
"Aria ?! " said Ramolo and rushed towards . Bekora too .
Helios called Bekora immediately and told him to take Aria to the Hygea hospital near there .
