My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Chapter 123

The TV report from that day caused the incident about Yannah to skyrocket.

The TV station that did the interview was very well-known in the country. More importantly, when they interviewed Yannah's parents- in- law, even her mother-in-law said that they should let Yannah go. So right then, everyone in the country was on Yannah's side.

The day of the court trial arrived in the blink of an eye. Natalie got up a lot earlier than usual.

The court happened to be on the way to Tobias' company.

Thus, when Tobias left in the morning, he took Natalie with him.

Benjamin, Tobias' assistant, deliberately drove there to pick Natalie up. She and Tobias sat at the back of the car.

When they were driving to their destination, Natalie suddenly felt a little nervous.

Although the court wasn't there to judge her, she still felt a burst of inexpressible tension.

She suddenly felt scared. Even if the pressure of the public was so great, the court could still sentence Yannah to death. After all, she had killed someone.

"Tobias," Natalie suddenly whispered.

"Yeah?" He replied flatly.

"Can you go with me?" Natalie's voice became smaller as she spoke.

She knew that it was a little unreasonable to ask for that. After all, Tobias had helped her so much, not to mention that he had a lot of work to do.

However, she felt scared all of a sudden, and only his presence could make her feel at ease.

Tobias' eyebrows twitched, but after a while, he replied, "Okay."

Natalie's heart was filled with joy. Did he mean that he agreed to accompany her?

Thinking that Tobias was accompanying her, Natalie's tension and unease disappeared in an instant.

As long as that man was with her, she wouldn't feel scared anymore.

On the other side, they had arrived at the YS Group. When Benjamin was about to stop, Tobias said directly, "Continue driving to the court."

Benjamin paused for a moment.

"Mr. Whitlock." Benjamin looked back at Tobias, "There will be a meeting today..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Tobias interrupted him, "Go to the court."

Natalie couldn't hear the conversation between Benjamin and Tobias at all. She was distracted and shocked by YS Group's sky-high building.

How tall and imposing it was.

Natalie's vocabulary wasn't very large, so she could only use those few words to describe the shock in her heart.

Actually, she had seen the YS Group before, but it wasn't as shocking as right then.

Because at this time, the president of the YS Group was sitting next to her.

Sometimes life was really wonderful. Too wonderful.

In the past, Natalie would never have thought that the president of YS Group would have anything to do with her.

Nevertheless, right then, she took a deep breath.

Life was wonderful. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

The car continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the court. There were a lot of media personnel gathering outside the court.

Natalie was about to get out of the car, but Tobias opened his mouth and said, "Wait."

She looked at him in confusion.

Benjamin said, "Mr. Whitlock cannot be seen by the media outside. It might cause a sensation later. Let's go directly to the court."

Natalie suddenly understood.

She was just an ordinary person. If she went out like that no one would've noticed her.

However, Tobias was different from her. As soon as he went out, he would probably be on the headlines of newspapers the next day.

Thinking of that, Natalie's eyelashes trembled slightly. It seemed that Tobias had taken a lot of risks to accompany her when in fact, there was no need for him to do that. He could've chosen not to come.

She could not help but look at Tobias gratefully.

He was sitting straight without any expression on his face.

However, Natalie felt that Tobias was really like a god at that moment.

Benjamin made a phone call and drove straight into the court. Some professional people came out to welcome them.

On the other hand, Vincent was also waiting there.

Seeing Tobias, he was a little surprised, "Tobias, why did you come here in person?"

"To have a look," he replied flatly.

Vincent looked at Natalie standing next to Tobias.

He did not believe that Tobias would want to watch something as lively as that case. He guessed that he must be accompanying Natalie this time.

"Hello, Miss Godfrey," Vincent greeted Natalie.

Natalie also nodded to him. "Hello, Mr. Hoffman."

That day, Vincent was wearing formal clothes, and he also looked energetic.

All too soon, it was time for the court to begin.

Natalie saw Yannah again, and as she was being escorted, her complexion didn't look so good.

Vincent had done proper preparations. He showed all kinds of evidence and debated very well; he made the other party's lawyer speechless.

That was Natalie's first time watching court proceedings. Even if she was a layman, she could still see that Vincent was indeed an excellent lawyer. His preparations were so well down that no loophole could be found.

Natalie thought that it was no wonder that Tobias had gotten Vincent to be Yannah's lawyer. He was indeed a capable person.

Soon it came to the judgement, but the result was obvious. With Vincent's strong debate and the pressure of public opinion, it should not be a problem for Yannah to be acquitted.

No one expected the ensuing plot twist to happen.

A woman shouted from the audience. The woman looked messy and she looked very pitiful.

"My brother was killed just like that. It's natural that this harpy should pay with her own life if she killed someone! That woman must pay with her life!"

No one expected such a thing to happen. They were all stunned.

The woman was Sophia; she was Yannah's sister-in-law and she continued to scream, "Why is there such a thing? Don't you have to pay with your life to kill people! She must die. This woman must die to repay my brother's life!"

"No one is allowed to shout in the court," the judge reprimanded sternly.

However, Sophia didn't budge at all as she continued to scream. In the end, a policeman had to come to pull her away, and she began to cry, make a fuss, and even threatened to take off her clothes while saying the policeman who was pulling her away was a hooligan.

It was obvious that Sophia was a country-bumpkin, but several policemen couldn't do anything to her.

At that time, Natalie suddenly stood up and went straight to the front of the woman.

She said angrily, but not loudly, "You said that Yannah has to pay with her life for killing someone, right? Then I'll tell you why Yannah doesn't need to pay with her life!"

When the woman saw Natalie suddenly appearing in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned.

Natalie's crisp voice rang through the court, "If it was you who was beaten by a man all year round, what would you do if your child was smashed to death by this man? Could you resist killing him? Women are weak physically, but as a mother, they are strong. I believe not only Yannah, but all women in the world are like this. If they witnessed their children who were just waiting to be fed being beaten to death in front of them, I believe all women would make the same choice to kill that person!"

Sophia was stunned, and then she started to make a scene again, "Don't talk so much nonsense with me. The law states that murderers have to pay with their lives. This is the law!"
