After divorce, Ex-wife Revealed Identities

Chapter 751

Katie was feeling a bit down, "Maybe my sister-in-law really dislikes me! After all, since my debut, I

haven't had many works, and the internet users keep comparing me to my sister-in-law, saying things

like my sister-in-law has made significant contributions to the conglomerate, she's elegant and graceful,

and she's perfect in every way!"

"I'm the only one who's not good enough. I'm really tired of this life where people constantly compare

me to my sister-in-law."

"Aren't I young? Aren't I pretty?"

"My sister-in-law is almost forty, and I can't even measure up to this older woman?"

Katie vented her frustrations, directing all her anger at Kareem.

The more she thought about it, the less she understood why she couldn't surpass Carolyn.

Kareem got up, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her. "Katie, you are unique, you are the

most special. Don't forget, you are the little princess of the Mcguire family."

Katie held the glass with both hands and grew angrier the more she thought about it. "But the internet

users will just insult me! Why do they like my sister-in-law so much?"

Kareem looked at her gently, like a caring older brother. "Your sister-in-law is an outsider after all; we

are siblings with blood ties. Katie, sometimes you can't trust others too much, you know?"

Katie felt uncomfortable hearing Kareem's words. "But my sister-in-law is always good to me. It's just

that internet users like to meddle and compare."

"No matter how good she is to you, there's no blood relationship. Don't you know there's something

called a 'trolls' in this world?" Kareem opened his phone and accessed the Twitter interface.

"Look at these comments, especially those criticizing you. They don't seem like genuine internet

users."

"But... who would pay for a 'trolls' just to insult me?" Katie looked at the profiles Kareem had opened,

starting to see the sense in Kareem's words.

"Who benefits from it? That's who paid for it. Can't you figure this out?" Kareem sighed, looking tired.

"Our Mcguire family is a large and thriving business. There will always be people wanting to embezzle,

line their pockets. Lukas is no longer here. Do they have to kick me and you out too for her to feel at

ease?"

Katie stared at Kareem in shock. "Kareem... are you saying that my sister-in-law is the one who bought

the 'trolls' to insult me and tarnish my reputation?"

Kareem quickly covered her mouth, looking around cautiously, as if afraid someone might overhear.

"Don't speak so loudly. I didn't say it was your sister-in-law."

Katie widened her eyes, looking at him. "Sob, sob, sob..."

Kareem released her mouth after ensuring no one was eavesdropping. "Don't jump to conclusions,

okay? Now, with Uncle getting older and your sister-in-law in power, be careful not to say this loudly.

We might both be in deep trouble if she overhears."

Although Kareem didn't confirm it, Katie had already made up her mind that Carolyn was the one

behind the 'trolls' attacks.

She felt upset. She had always respected Carolyn, and Carolyn had shown a lot of affection toward

her, but it had all been a facade.

This hypocritical woman.

"So, what should we do now?"

"What else can we do? Be cautious, bide your time. When the day comes for you to become the sole

heir, that'll be our golden opportunity." Kareem whispered, "Haven't you noticed how she fiercely

protects her brother? Why doesn't she protect you?"

"Good point." Katie, who had been swayed by Kareem's words, was no longer as respectful and

affectionate toward Carolyn. She sighed in frustration. "The Mcguire family has treated her well, and yet

she's so harsh with me."

"Alright, my dear Katie, my lovely little sister. For now, focus on making your mark in the entertainment

industry. Then, when the time is right, you can study and develop yourself, and make sure to influence

Uncle to announce the heir soon. It would be great if you become the heir. We'll have good days

ahead." Kareem continued to manipulate Katie, and she was seething with anger.

"People are so two-faced! I'm so furious!"

"Katie, you're just too honest, too pure. That's why she played you like a fiddle. I'm doing everything for

your own good," Kareem said with concern. "In the future, you have to be more careful, okay?"

"Kareem, don't worry," Katie nodded, her eyes filled with anger.

"Don't be so naive, showing everything on your face. Don't lose your temper when you see her

tomorrow, act just like you used to, you know?" Kareem quietly advised Katie. "She's a very shrewd

woman. Don't let her see through you. If she does, how are we going to turn things around?"

Katie looked at Kareem admiringly. "Kareem, you're really something. I'm so lucky to have you in the

family. I wouldn't even know who truly cares about me."

"Alright, my naive little sister, go back to your room and get some sleep."

Kareem had achieved his goal and was now urging her to return to her room.

"Okay, good night."

Katie turned and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Kareem's face displayed a hint of disdain. Katie was just a pawn. He

hoped she could be a good one.

Today was Cody's court date, and Franklin had risen early. Sylvia followed suit. After double-checking

the case documents, the two of them headed to the courthouse.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

When Cody was brought in, almost everyone's eyes were on him. He appeared worn and considerably

thinner.

Brayden, Sylvia, and Jenna sat together in the public gallery, silently watching Cody's figure, their eyes

slightly teary.

There were some media people around, and when they saw Franklin taking the defense lawyer's seat,

they were somewhat surprised.

"I heard the once-celebrated Lawyer Maskelyne, who shocked Urgford, is back."

"Could it be Franklin?"

"So young?"

"Oh my! Can Cody really get away with this?"

"With all the evidence against him, he probably won't get away with it, right?"

...

Jasper whispered to Sylvia, "Miss Andrews, the news about Master Franklin's comeback is trending."

Sylvia: "..."

Previously, she had gone viral like crazy, and now it was Franklin trending. She found it a bit unusual.

She took out her phone and checked Twitter, finding the trending topic about Franklin.

#Lawyer Maskelyne Returns to the Scene

Clicking into it, she saw pictures of Franklin and the photos from the courtroom today. The reporters

were quick.

"These people..." Sylvia was speechless. "They probably didn't expect that Franklin is the high-priced

lawyer."

She read the comments below, where netizens expressed disbelief that Mr. Maskelyne was a lawyer.

"How is that possible? Mr. Maskelyne only knows how to fly planes, right?"

"Still a lawyer? Isn't that a bit too much for The Wright family to save money?"

"They're definitely losing this case. The high-priced Lawyer Maskelyne is just a coincidence in the

names."

"Yeah, how could it be the same person? This is just riding on the popularity of the old Lawyer

Maskelyne, right?"

"It feels like a publicity stunt."

Sylvia scrolled through the comments for a while and then put her phone away. "These people don't

believe he's a lawyer."

"Mr. Maskelyne will prove them wrong with his actions," Jasper said confidently.

In the following hours, everyone witnessed what it meant to be eloquent, and what it meant to have the Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

hammer of evidence slam into your face.

Franklin stood there, tall and exceptionally handsome, his expressionless face radiating a powerful

aura.

Every piece of evidence presented was well-founded and lawful.

The evidence previously used for the report couldn't withstand this scrutiny.

With the evidence Sylvia and MI6 had gathered, Franklin systematically cleared Cody's name of all

accusations.

Cody, on the defendant's bench, looked at Franklin in disbelief. The man he had thought of as a child

was now putting in all his efforts to save him. It was an incredible feeling.

Sylvia also watched Franklin, his resplendent beauty shining under the lights, radiating a brilliant aura.

She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.

In his dark eyes gleamed determination, and his tall, commanding figure exuded determination.

He was like a beacon in the crowd, impossible to look away from.

Franklin's every movement and gesture exuded elegance, especially his unruffled self-confidence,

making him seem more like a noble prince emerging from a royal castle than a lawyer.

Everyone had to bow to his voice, his evidence, his world!

He was the king of this courtroom, exuding an air of condescension and wild authority.

"I have presented my evidence. These are the documents for your review," Franklin said, submitting

the files to the judge.

The judge, only now recovering from the captivating presentation of evidence, hurriedly began to

review the documents.

"We will deliberate with the jury. Please be patient," the judge announced.

Waiting was excruciating. Each minute and second felt like an eternity. Brayden, in particular, clenched

his fists tightly, and his palms were sweaty.

A soft, cool hand gently grasped his. He looked in surprise to find Jenna, her fair hand covering his, her

sweet voice saying, "Godfather will be fine."

Brayden's heart warmed, and he nodded firmly. "He will be."

In contrast to their anxiety, Franklin's face appeared much calmer. There was hardly any expression on

his handsome face. He sat quietly in his seat, hands clasped, exuding confidence, as if he was

absolutely certain this was a case he was destined to win.

Sylvia shifted her gaze away from him, looking to her right, where a seat was originally reserved for

Mrs. Wright.

Her flight was delayed, and she didn't know if she had arrived in Urgford yet.

Even though Cody was handcuffed, he stood proudly as if he weren't a defendant but a resolute man.
