A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 142

Truly hesitated.

Then-

He spoke.

“So she wouldn’t be allowed to work for a similar company.”

A ripple went through the courtroom.

Immediate.

My gaze sharpened.

“And?”

He swallowed.

Jaw tightening.

“Jason was supposed to get her…”

A pause.

“…to sign away her rights to the buildings.”

Sdence.

Absolute.

“And instead…”

His voice dropped slightly.

“…he married her.”

That-

That was it.

The room didn’t just react.

It shifted.

Because now-

This wasn’t a misunderstanding.

It was intent.

I let the silence stretch.

Let every word sink in.

Then-

I spoke.

“So to summarize-”

My tone remained composed.

Precise.

“You publicly accused me of financial misconduct…”

A step closer.

“…not because it was true-”

A pause. 1

“But because you wanted to prevent me from working.”

Oscar didn’t answer.

He didn’t need to.

“And you expected-”

I continued.

“…my now husband…”

to manipulate me into signing away my assets.”

A beat.

“And when that failed-”

I tilted my head slightly.

“You chose defamation.”

Silence.

Heavy.

I straightened.

“Thank you, Mr. White.”

I turned.

Walking back to my place.

Because now-

There was nothing left to prove.

They had done it themselves.

The courtroom didn’t erupt this time.

It didn’t need to.

Because everyone knew.

The judge leaned forward slightly.

His expression-

No longer neutral.

Disappointed.

He looked at Oscar.

Then at Amelie.

“This court has heard enough.”

Silence.

Immediate.

“What has been presented here…”

A pause. 1

“…is not a misunderstanding.”

is a deliberate attempt to mislead the public-”

“to damage reputation-”

“and to manipulate ownership through false claims.”

Oscar went pale.

Amelie looked like she might break.

The judge didn’t stop.

“I am shutting this case down.”

A collective inhale filled the room.

“And I am ordering both Oscar White and Amelie White…”

His voice sharpened-

“…to issue a public statement of apology.”

A pause. 1

“Failure to comply-”

He let the words hang.

-will result in criminal charges.”

The message was clear.

This wasn’t a warning.

It was a countdown.

Oscar clenched his fists.

But said nothing.

Amelie looked down.

Completely defeated.

Then-

The judge turned.

To Victoria.

His gaze steady.

Unforgiving.

“Counsel.”

Her posture straightened instinctively.

“You would do well…”

pause. 1

“…to be more selective with the cases you choose to represent.”

That landed.

Not loud.

But precise.

A professional warning.

A public reprimand.

Victoria’s lips pressed into a thin line.

She nodded-

Once.

But the damage was done.

I remained still.

Watching.

Because this-

This was what they built.

And now-

They were standing in its collapse.

The judge raised his hand.

“This court is adjourned.”
