"What kind of junk is this? She has the nerve to give it to me. Disgusting!" I muttered.
The audience exploded in outrage.
"How could she be so ungrateful? Her mother-in-law was so kind to her."
"That bracelet came from selling two pigs. Elena has no heart."
I remained silent, letting them curse me.
As long as the gavel hadn't fallen, none of their words mattered.
Jake's family seemed to relax.
His mother looked at me with smug satisfaction.
Then the verdict came.
The judge checked the results, looking surprised.
She read it out, "The accusation of Elena being unfilial toward the plaintiff's mother is not substantiated. Elena is acquitted of this charge."
The courtroom fell into stunned silence.
The spectators gawked, unable to believe what they'd just heard.
They began whispering amongst themselves.
Jake's mother turned pale. "How could they say that? She clearly disrespected me."
The judge sternly banged the gavel once more, silencing the room.
"The trial proceeds. Extract the next memory," she said.
This time, the memory belonged to me and Jake.
The screen flickered to life, showing Jake with a broad smile, holding out two large gift boxes to me.
