Rising from the Ashes The Heiress They Tried to Erase Novel

Chapter 302: Rosanna froze mid-stride, her body suddenly rigid. The abrupt disturbance drew every eye in the room toward the entrance. Through the doorway strode a man of commanding presence. His black, tailored suit fit perfectly against his tall, lean frame, the precision of its cut emphasizing his imposing stature. Dark eyes scanned the room with penetrating intelligence. His features seemed sculpted from marble-a defined jawline and sharp cheekbones, contributing to an aura of cold, unshakeable authority. Who was this man?

Amidst the confused glances, the man walked straight to the judge's bench, ignoring the astonished looks from those around him. Pattie watched him pass, her gaze following his every movement with undisguised appreciation. "He's absolutely gorgeous," she whispered. This man embodied everything she found irresistible! The stranger came to a halt before the judge. In a deep voice, he said, "Your Honor, Maia's attorney was involved in a car accident en route and is currently receiving medical attention at the hospital.

Therefore, I will be representing Maia for the duration of today's proceedings." The judge, his expression stern, turned to Maia and asked, "As the representative of the plaintiff, are you willing to change your legal representation?" Maia's gaze fixed on the new attorney, her eyes widening in shock. How could it be him? Suddenly, the courtroom was filled with a collective gasp of surprise. "Unbelievable! Roland Cullen, the top lawyer from Zenith Legal in Drakmire?" See more chapters at gl no vels. The atmosphere in the courtroom grew electric.

Journalists began whispering excitedly among themselves. "Roland here? The famous attorney who has never failed since he started in this industry? And he's in Wront of all places?" "People say Roland only takes on exceptionally challenging cases, never the ordinary ones. What brings him to such a straightforward case?" "Getting comments from Roland has always been a challenge; we've been turned away every time. To think we'd see him here today!" "Roland isn't just remarkably talented; he's strikingly handsome as well.

Truly, he's everyone's ideal man!" Suddenly, every camera in the room turned to focus on Roland, capturing every possible angle in a flurry of flashes. The judge peered over his glasses, giving the famous attorney a thorough look. Yes, it was indeed Roland, a renowned figure in the legal community from Drakmire! He hadn't anticipated Roland's involvement in this case. Rosanna's brow furrowed as she heard the whispers around her. Although unfamiliar with Roland, the news of his reputation as a leading Drakmire attorney made her uneasy. Why had he suddenly appeared here?

Was it just a coincidence? On the other side, Carl, the defense attorney, was overwhelmed with dread. His complexion turned pale, his mouth dry, and his limbs shook as beads of sweat formed a glistening layer across his brow. What was happening? How had he ended up facing Roland here? Roland typically took on only the most daunting, complex, and headline-worthy cases. Why would he bother with something so trivial? Within the legal realm of Drakmire, Roland's formidable reputation was well-known. He was often likened to a stealthy assassin, though his methods involved no violence.

He could silence his opponents with the gentlest of voices and close every loophole with impeccable logic, leaving no room for counterargument. . . .
