Chapter 2608
Case Details 2
Emilia also underwent memory extraction, but things took a different turn later.
Everything was the same up until we reached the nanny's room. But things started to change when the housekeeper brought out the toiletries and pajamas.
When the housekeeper handed her the items, she said apologetically, "I hope this doesn't disturb the lady of the house."
The butler looked at her with barely concealed contempt: "Mr. Bruce is still single."
She asked tentatively, "Why? There are plenty of beautiful women here. Haven't you met anyone you like yet?"
“The master has his own ideas.” The butler said with a hint of impatience, “If you have nothing else to do, you should get some rest.”
A hand appeared in the frame, holding a hundred-yuan silver coin in its palm, which was quickly stuffed into the butler's hand.
"What's this for?" The butler asked seriously, glancing at the money in his hand before putting it into his pocket. "Well, the master actually prefers women who are proactive and bold. But most women give up after being rejected once, and the master doesn't take the initiative to pursue them, so he's been single until now. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You should get some rest."
His tone had clearly softened considerably.
Seeing that money was effective, Emilia pressed further, "Which room does he live in?"
Upon hearing this, one can imagine the jury's reaction was one of utter dismay.
"This is not something I can easily disclose..." the butler said, but he stood still, looking up at the sky, his hands on his abdomen, in the posture of a bartender waiting to greet customers.
Emilia quickly slipped another silver coin into his hand: "I get hungry easily at night and I can't tell which way is which. I went to the wrong place when I was going to the kitchen and bothered Mr. Bruce."
Nobody would believe that. The maid's room is on the basement floor, the dining room is on the first floor, and the kitchen is in the annex. No matter how bad you are at finding your way around, you wouldn't go upstairs to the master bedroom.
The butler, clutching the money, smirked and said, "Go up to the third floor, to the right." Then he left.
Next comes washing up, and I remember that for such a small thing, the process is usually quite quick.
When Emilia stood in front of the mirror, a young face appeared in the reflection. The soft bathroom light illuminated the face as if it had been given a soft-focus effect, making it look much prettier than usual.
She put on the pajamas the housekeeper brought her; they were soft, all-cotton camisole dresses that accentuated her graceful figure.
After leaving the bathroom, she didn't lie down to sleep. Instead, she walked out the door, went all the way to the third floor, turned right, and went to the end of the building.
She stopped in front of the door.
He must have hesitated at the time, but remembering the butler's words and looking at the mansion here, with its immense wealth that could change his destiny, he still reached out to the sensor area next to him.
The door opened, revealing a large suite of nearly 100 square meters, where Bruce was sleeping in bed.
She quietly climbed into bed, but what awaited her was not a romantic night, but rather...
Behind her was a chaotic, dark scene. The handsome, refined Bruce, with his aristocratic air, seemed like a completely different person, possessed by a demon, attacking her with cold, mocking expressions and his fists and feet.
Accompanying the sounds of the blows were Emilia's own screams and pleas for mercy.
It was so horrible that Xi Ning felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but touch her brow.
Although she has been the supreme deity for so long, and can even order torture, what hasn't she seen? That doesn't mean she likes this kind of scene.
"I'm very sorry." Seeing Qibin looking at him reproachfully, Qiming quickly explained, "The law stipulates that if it becomes evidence in court, it cannot be blurred in order to restore the authenticity of the situation at the time. I will pay attention in the future."
Next time, blur the image first, then bring it over.
At this moment, Bruce's heavy breathing could be heard... Seriously, he's been beaten up like this, and he still has the nerve to kiss him.
"No need." She put her hand down and turned to look at the documents next to her. If the jury could see them, how could she, as a supreme god, be less able to bear the burden than a mortal?
The following is the butler's information and testimony.
The housekeeper testified in court that he did not accept bribes or say those things. After giving the gifts, he went back to his bedroom to sleep.
Because the house is very well soundproofed, he couldn't possibly hear anything.
His monthly salary is 50,000 coins, so it's impossible for him to reveal his employer's information for a mere 200.
He refused to undergo memory retrieval because it would cause him several days of mental fatigue, affecting his work. Emilia couldn't compensate him for the loss of rest, but she was willing to cooperate with a non-drug-assisted lie detector test.
After a lie detector test, it was confirmed that the housekeeper was telling the truth.
After Emilia fainted, darkness signified the end.
After receiving a seriously injured female patient, the hospital called the police while simultaneously providing emergency treatment.
Bruce cooperated with the investigation and provided surveillance footage from the hallway at the time.
The surveillance footage shows Emilia walking out of the basement nanny's room and up to his bedroom on the third floor. Since there are no security cameras in the bedrooms, it's impossible to know what happened inside.
About an hour later, the housekeeper received a page from Bruce and rushed over from his bedroom. Twenty minutes later, the hospital ambulance arrived.
What happened in the bedroom during that hour or so is known only to the two people involved.
Bruce explained that he had been trying to persuade and refuse for at least half an hour, and only resorted to violence when he could no longer tolerate it. When he came to his senses, he was holding a pager, and the butler was standing at the door.
There was a pager with Bruce's fingerprints on it, and the timing matched.
Emilia was rescued and, upon regaining consciousness, requested a medical examination. By this time, it was the third day. No evidence of sexual assault was found in her body.
Finally, the lawyer stated that Bruce's lawyer clearly indicated that, in addition to Bruce's cooperative attitude, his usual reputation proved that he had to defend himself when harassed. Imagine if he had succeeded; Bruce would not only have lost his virginity and suffered emotional trauma, but he would also be in much more trouble. He might not only have to pay a settlement, but his reputation would also be ruined.
Whether Emilia's memory extraction was effective remains to be seen. After all, severe trauma can disrupt memories, causing them to become distorted and misinterpret one's own perceptions.
It's highly likely that they don't want to face the reality of someone who, in their attempt to hook up with a rich man, abandons their dignity and self-respect, only to fail. There have been more than one such case in the past.
The lawyer paused, then said in a joking tone, "It's not necessarily to get my client to pay an exorbitant compensation."
This immediately drew laughter from some people. Emilia, on the other hand, was ashen-faced, wishing she could bury her still-healing face in her chest.
Instead, Emilia is found guilty. Bruce is not demanding compensation, but only an in-court apology and her banishment from Cape Town B2. If the court cannot decide on a verdict in this instance, a lawsuit will be filed immediately.
One is a wealthy, handsome aristocratic man whose profession is public service.
On one hand, they barely make ends meet with their wages, and their income is unstable. They go to great lengths to get into someone's car, go to someone's house, and climb into someone's bed.
The two lawyers were not on the same level either; the top-tier lawyer was still a bit stuttering when speaking to his superior, while the junior lawyer was just a novice who had only gained experience through pro bono work.
As expected, Emilia lost the case, with no support for any compensation, and was immediately deported back to her birthplace, banned from entering Cape Town B2 for ten years.
The losing party in a lawsuit has to pay both sides' legal fees and may also face a countersuit for damages. Emilia's only option is to apologize in court; a simple "sorry" can save her from hundreds of thousands in legal fees and the potential for a hefty countersuit. Anyone would know which to choose.
