Chapter 1298 Even her ancestors couldn’t be of any help.
”Did you hear that? She has been lying all this while.””How could she? Did she do it just to get into the spotlight? How could she?”
She ruined her face. What a pity! I never could believe that a girl would play with her own face just to get back at someone.”
”Get back at someone? Do you mean she has purposefully done this to ruin the name of Li Xue?
”Or else what could it be? I don’t see any other reason. After all, hasn’t she been aiming at Li Xue in all her comments all this while? She even said that her agency reached her to negotiate. Why would they negotiate when they have been innocent all this while?”
As the things were revealed, the murmurs between the people rose slowly, loud enough to reach the ears of the girl. The more she heard them accusing her, the more panicked she became. Almost crying, she said, “Your Honor, I really didn’t lie. My face did get ruined because of L.S. cosmetic products. I chose those products because I am a big follower of Li Xue and I believe in her endorsed products.”
”Enough! Don’t you know it’s an offense to lie to court? This file not just holds your previous photographs but also the statements of several acquaintances. Do you still want to reject all the evidence that is presented against you?” The judge asked. His voice warned her, stiffening her core.
Not able to hold it for longer, she slumped back on her chair and gave up. “I-I am sorry. I shouldn’t have done this but I need money to do cosmetic surgery to improve my face. I have no other way,”
She confessed and with that, the case was already solved. The prosecution rested the case, while the judge turned to ask the defendant to present the charges that they wanted to put on the proven offender.
Shin Tingming’s expression turned all sharp, nothing like what he had held moments ago. Standing in his stance he started to list out everything as if he had memorized all before appearing in the court.
”Your Honor, my client, Ms. Li Xue has to face heavy damage due to this accusation. So, under Section 330, Clause IV, I ask the offender, Ms. Ji, to bear the compensation of three-fourths of my client’s self-worth that got affected. Also, my client has faced several criticisms both online and offline that are liable to be compensated by her under Section 440, Clause 15A. Other than that, before entering the court, she purposefully defamed my client and her esteem agency saying that they have reached out to negotiate. That’s an offense that charges her both compensation and six months in prison. That’s all the requests we have to present, Your Honor. I request the court to serve the justice.”
He said and everyone around was dumbfounded. Especially the girl who was responsible for paying for all of it. She looked like her soul had already left her body. Was she even capable of paying so much? Even if she asks her ancestors to come out from their graves to help her. She won’t be able to pay it off.
The self-worth of Li Xue alone has become 3.8 million dollars. Even though paying one-fourth of her self-worth was enough to bring a commoner to their grave, His Majesty has put the pressure on paying three-fourth of it which excluded the other two compensation amounts.
If not making the girl give up her life, what other thing could be his plans?
Up until now, they have just heard the ways of the royals were ruthless but after today, they have even witnessed it with their own eyes. No doubt, Li Xue looked so confident before.
Lin Xinyi was even taken aback. Although she had thought of hefty compensation coming, she never thought it would amount to so much. Without even calculating she could see the figures it would sum up to.
”Don’t you think His Majesty is really ruthless?” Su Fai asked, all dazed in his thoughts. Lin Xinyi hummed in approval.
”Very ruthless!”
”If you call this ruthless, then you are still far away from reality. He could be much more than this if it’s my sister in concern.” Hearing their murmur from behind, Shin You Jun turned to say and Lin Xinyi’s brows tugged in a frown to ask.
”Your sister? Do you mean …”
Before she could say more, Shin You Jun nodded and agreed without holding back. “Of course, she is my sister. Or else, why do you think we would all be here? We are here to support her as her family.” He said and turned away. While Lin Xinyi felt that there was nothing else that she could comprehend.
Su Fai didn’t know how he should react to it. So, he followed the regular track and feigned all innocence to the information as if this was his first time hearing it.
”Li Xue is the princess of the royal family. Have you known this from before?” Lin Xinyi asked and Su Fai just shook his head in denial.
While in front, Shin Tingming presented a calculated form of the exact compensation amount that has to be paid by the other party.
The judge went through the calculation and had no way to revoke it. So, in the end, nodding to it, he put the law accepted seal over it before announcing it for everyone to hear. “With reference to all the evidence we have received, the law court of Chiboa declares Ms. Ji as the real wrongdoer in the case. She would be imprisoned for six months for her offense and would have to pay 3.5 million dollars as compensation for all the damage she has caused to Ms. Li Xue and her agency. The case is dismissed. Thank you.” He said before stamping the final seal on his order.
The people around were all stunned. 3.5 million dollars was not an easy amount to pay off, yet it was presented like it was nothing huge.
