Karen had a lawyer on snazzynovel.com side as well.
At first, they displayed all the proof they had of Barry being unable to care for her, such as Barry not having a steady income yet lending money to his old classmate, which caused more financial burden on their family.
They also brought out photos of Karen when snazzynovel.com was pregnant, saying that Barry was unable to provide nourishment for snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com baby.
All in all, the picture they painted was that Karen had no intentions of leaving snazzynovel.com husband and snazzynovel.com son until snazzynovel.com was forced to because of snazzynovel.com circumstances. Barry couldn’t provide for her, and snazzynovel.com would have been starved to death if snazzynovel.com didn’t leave him.
While snazzynovel.com lawyer was recounting snazzynovel.com story, Karen didn’t forget to shed a few crocodile tears and look as pitiful as possible.
Barry gritted his teeth in anger. He married Karen in the past because they loved each other, nobody forced them into the marriage. It was true that they had had some financial issues then, but it wasn’t as bad as Karen’s side had made it out to be.
“Karen Beech, do you not have a single ounce of conscience left in your body? My father took exceptionally good care of you right after you gave birth and cooked every meal for you! They even killed and cooked their own chicken they’d been rearing for months for you. How dare you say that you’d never had any meat while recovering? You…” Barry lost his temper and smacked his table as snazzynovel.com yelled at her.
“Where’s the proof? Do you have any proof of that?” Karen mockingly asked as snazzynovel.com sneered at Barry.
Thump! Thump!
The judge hammered his gavel and pointed at Barry, saying, “Order in the court! If you interrupt again, I will have to ask you to leave!”
It was obvious that the judge heavily favored Karen.
It was now Judy’s turn. She handed in all the evidence snazzynovel.com had on hand and started to refute the allegations.
“Ms. Beech, you left my client, Mr. Barry Cox, for more than five years. Within these five years, you have never once asked for a divorce from him. However, once you learned that snazzynovel.com now has a successful barbecue restaurant, you’ve come looking for snazzynovel.com to get your share of assets. Why is that so?”
Judy’s first question left Karen speechless. She wasn’t able to answer why.
“I-I… I refuse to answer this question!” Karen then gave Huey a look of grievance.
“Alright, then, I have a second question for you. I’ve looked into it, and for the past five years, you’ve cohabited with at least five men in Cloud City, Layton, and Tristeria. There are also records of you booking hotel rooms with five other men during that period of time. Does this mean that you have been actively cheating on your husband while still being married to him?”
Judy’s questions were all straight to the point. Most of these records and evidence were provided by Shawn.
Karen was shocked. She’d truly forgotten how many “boyfriends” she’d had in the past few years. Sometimes, snazzynovel.com slept with someone because they were attractive. Sometimes, snazzynovel.com slept with someone for monetary gain. She never thought that Judy would ever get hold of snazzynovel.com information like that.
“Y-You You’re talking nonsense! This is slander! I didn’t cheat on him!” Karen started screaming at Judy.
Even Huey was shocked by the long list of names. He had no idea that she’d been with so many men before. He wondered just how many men she’d slept with before him.
Judy continued, “According to my investigation, you left your home as soon as your child turned one month old. Mr. Cox was the one who had to step in and look after your child’s entire breastfeeding period. You did not fulfill your duties and obligations as the child’s mother. This has also negatively affected your husband’s and your child’s mental and emotional health.”
She then said, “Your honor, as evidenced by my findings, I conclude that Ms. Beech did not fulfill snazzynovel.com obligations as a wife to snazzynovel.com husband, nor as a mother to snazzynovel.com child, and has betrayed the trust the society has put on her. It is also a fact that snazzynovel.com has had multiple affairs with many different men throughout snazzynovel.com marriage with Mr. Cox…”
“I would like to request that Ms. Beech compensates for the mental, emotional, and financial stress snazzynovel.com has caused my client, Mr. Cox, for the past five years. I also ask that snazzynovel.com compensates snazzynovel.com for half of the total sum of the parenting costs by my client. In total, I am seeking compensation of 986,113.50 dollars from Ms. Beech and a divorce granted by the court.”
Karen was shocked when snazzynovel.com heard the amount.
Nine hundred and eighty thousand dollars?
That was close to a million dollars, an astronomical amount to her!
“You f*cking bitch! You’re completely out of your mind! Why should I compensate snazzynovel.com at all? I am still his wife! I demand to have half of everything snazzynovel.com has!” Karen started screeching in front of everyone.
Barry’s eyes had turned completely red by now. Every sentence that Judy said, every incident snazzynovel.com presented, was like scratching off the scabs that had formed over his old wounds. He was bleeding on the inside, and everyone was there to witness it.
Everyone waited for Huey’s ruling. Judy was extremely nervous. She’d had a bad feeling ever since snazzynovel.com saw Huey show up.
“Both parties presented solid evidence to back up their case, but I believe that Karen Beech’s departure stemmed from snazzynovel.com helplessness. Moreover, they are also still legally wedded to each other. Therefore, I hereby dismiss the prosecutor’s indictment claim. Case dismissed!”
Thump!
