At first, Daniel believed it would be almost impossible to defeat the Hamilton family’s powerful lawyer.

But after reading Clara’s documents, his expression suddenly changed.

“There is something strange here,” he said.

Clara looked at him.

“What?”

Daniel pointed to one of the documents.

“The timeline doesn’t make sense.”

Part 3 — The Trial Begins

The day of the trial arrived.

Clara entered the courthouse wearing her only formal dress.

Across the room sat the Hamilton family.

They looked calm and confident.

Beside them was an expensive attorney carrying several folders.

Clara looked around nervously.

She had no powerful lawyer.

No wealthy relatives.

No influential friends.

Only Daniel, the young legal intern who had promised to help her understand the evidence.

The courtroom became silent when the judge entered.

The prosecutor presented the case.
