Chapter 277
Upon observing Ivan's fury, the presiding judge reminded, "Defendant, please control your emotions."
Ivan was outraged at Naomi's revelations and found it impossible to control his anger.
Just then, Karen yelled from the spectator bench, "You bitch! How dare you frame my son and fabricate evidence? You and your family will die a horrible death."
The presiding judge immediately ordered the staff to escort Karen out of the courtroom.
After watching the recording of Jessica being assaulted, Kelly fainted from shock.
Marshall and the staff immediately took her to the hospital.
Melanie sobbed uncontrollably with immense pity for Jessica.
"Why was Jessica so foolish? She hadn't let any of us know about her suffering. Why didn't she ask for a divorce?
"If we had known that she was dealing with domestic violence, we wouldn't have allowed her to spend another minute with Ivan."
Melanie pointed at Ivan and yelled, "You're a despicable scumbag, Ivan Reyes!"
Although she wanted to give him a piece of her mind, she was sobbing so hard that she found it difficult to speak.
"Silence!" The presiding judge knocked his gavel before turning to Naomi. "The plaintiff's attorney, where did you get the evidence from? Is it through legal means?"
"Your Honor, I chanced upon the recording of the defendant's house on the internet. After assaulting my client, not only did the defendant not feel remorse, but he felt proud of himself. So, he uploaded the video on the internet for everyone to watch.
"As for the medical report proving the defendant is diagnosed with Necrospermia, it was obtained when the defendant publicly flaunted his report on a dating app.
"He was boasting about his physique, technique, and his inability to impregnate. We Chapte found the documents by chance."
The recording continued to play as they spoke. Just then, the footage showed Jessica requesting a divorce from Ivan.
However, he immediately resorted to physical violence and made it clear that Jessica was unworthy of a divorce.
He said that he was the ultimate decision-maker in the relationship. If she dared speak out against him in public, he would harm her parents and sister. Tears started streaming down Melanie's face. She finally understood why Jessica had kept silent about the fact that she was a victim of domestic violence.

Melanie was left in tears, while the rest of the spectators were itching to teach Ivan a lesson.
Nicholas remained silent as he slammed the document on the table. His expression darkened; taking on Ivan's case had tarnished his reputation and career.
However, Ivan refused to give up. He pointed at Naomi and yelled, "Nonsense! I never uploaded the video online or shared my medical report."
Although Ivan had posted the video online, he'd made sure to mask his shared photos appearance. He'd also shared photos on the dating app and engaged in casual meet-ups, but he'd
never uploaded his medical report.
In truth, all the evidence had been orchestrated by Ronald.
Upon hearing Ivan's denial, Naomi immediately presented evidence of Ivan's account and past photos and videos he had posted.
"Your Honor, the plaintiff is certain that all the evidence was obtained by O legal means.
As Ivan looked at the evidence presented by Naomi, his mind was in turmoil He couldn't immediately recall if he had indeed posted the materials online.
