Chapter 563

As Olivia watched Mr. Smith take his place in the witnessing stand, she pinched herself hard to force herself to calm down quickly.

Very quickly, Pitt started his questioning. "Mr. Smith, this is the ring you bought as an engagement ring, is that right?"

"Yes."

"When did you buy it, and where did you get it from?"

"I bought it three years ago on the 3rd of April at The One. I got designer Ms. Phoebe James to custom design it for me."

"Are you sure about that?"

"I'm very sure. It was pouring heavily that day, and I was soaked. Ms. James got me a brand-new towel and gave me a cup of ginger tea. It was so spicy that I nearly threw the tea out, but Ms. James told me that it was the exact kind of tea she often drank to not catch a cold, so I downed

it."

"When did you receive the ring?"

"The 15th of March, but Ms. James had already given me the draft of the ring's design on the 6th of March, and the actual ring was exactly like the draft."

Pitt changed the picture and asked, "Is this ring familiar to you?"

Smith looked at it and nodded. "It looks familiar. It's my..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, he stopped. "No, it may look similar, but it's definitely not my ring. That is not the ring I proposed with." "Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"I have no further questions, Your Honor."

After Pitt sat down, the lawyer representing TR started his questioning, but after a series of questions, TR had become the side with less favor.

TR insisted that the initial draft was leaked, and that had caused the entire fiasco, so the jury asked for the court to be adjourned. They would resume the following week for a second hearing.

The entire scene unfolded like a dream that Olivia had yet to wake up from, so she merely sat in her seat in a daze.

It was not until Smith came over to apologize to her that she snapped back to her senses and shot up to her feet.

"Mr. Smith."

"Ms. James, I'm so sorry about the previous time. The failure of my marriage is entirely my problem, and I should not have taken it out on you."

Olivia shook her head. "Please don't say that. You being present to testify means a lot to me. Thank you so much.”

"I'll... get going then."

"Okay."

"Pheebs!"

Jennie appeared out of nowhere and hugged her from behind. "We won! We won against TR That's unbelievable!" "I know, right..."

Olivia suddenly felt like she wanted to cry. She burst out into tears. "It was all the result of Pitt's hard work!"

Pitt smiled faintly. "Ms. James, this is just the beginning. It'll only be worth celebrating after the results are official. Let's go." "Okay."

The trio walked out of court only to meet with the lawyer troop representing TR.

The leader of the troop glared coldly at Pitt and said, "Hah, I didn't think you'd actually take up this case, Pitt."

"Don't you know I like to watch you lose, Cousie?"

"It's not over yet, Pitt! Wait and see!"

"Okay, Cousie, I'll wait."

Olivia looked at the both of them and asked, "He's your cousin?"

"Yes, my cousin, and also my junior in law school who has lost to me ever since we were kids."

Olivia was stunned. This was surprising.

However, at the moment, she could only think about how powerful Mr. M was!

He would have probably already known about this relationship when he found Pitt. If not, why would he have specifically chosen Pitt for this?

She was deep in thought when someone yanked her on her arm. "Let's talk, Ms. James."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Olivia's eyes darkened. She turned around to swat his hands away and barked coldly. "We have nothing to talk about, Mr. Freeman. If you have time to talk to me, why not ask your lawyers to stop so they won't be so embarrassed when they finally lose?"

John was not agitated. His deep eyes looked faintly at her. "Ms. James, aren't you curious about your brother's whereabouts?"
