“You’re not at the hospital caring for a cripple, yet you come here to accuse me? This is a courtroom. We speak with evidence, not emotion. Withdraw the suit. If something happens to your family because of this, I won’t take responsibility.”
At that moment, I finally understood why she tried so hard to stop me from calling the police.
Even when I knelt and begged her, she refused to stand up for my father.
Because from beginning to end, she stood on Heidi’s side.
I clenched my teeth, pushing down my fury as I tried one last time to summon even a shred of humanity from him.
“My father treated you like his own son. He helped you with everything, supported your promotions, helped you chase your dreams. He gave you everything he could.”
“Now he lies half dead because of you. You are his son-in-law. Can you truly live with yourself?”
Caleb rolled his eyes, speaking with disdain.
“Law is impartial. I am righteous in this. I stand with truth, not with family. I am willing to testify that your father’s leg was already damaged before. It has nothing to do with me.”
He lied without even a flicker of emotion.
My hands trembled with anger as I submitted the surveillance footage I had saved.
