Bam!
From the judge's seat, the judge gave an unhappy rap with the gavel and spoke displeased.
"Defense attorney, please maintain order in the court."
They had already entered, and the lawyer dared to make noise, clearly showing no regard for them.
Jane Bell realized her lapse in composure, hastily collected her anger, nodded apologetically to the judge, and as everyone resumed their seats, she turned to give Reese Harris a glare.
Only to see Reese covering her mouth with one hand, her lips moving silently.
This time, she made no sound at all.
However, Jane Bell could still read from her lip movements that Reese Harris was repeatedly mouthing the words—bitch!
Jane Bell was infuriated but unable to act out, only gripping her pen tightly in anger.
Snap!
The pen tip scraped across the paper with a jarring sound.
On the bench, the judge and the members of the panel collectively focused their gaze with a frown.
"I'm sorry!"
Jane Bell quickly apologized.
