Viral Trial: They Say I Stole My Own Son

After finishing his smug speech, Zack shot me a malicious look. "Your Honor, Harry illegally confined and controlled my son. That's unlawful detention, isn't it? I think he should be arrested today!"

Katherine nodded repeatedly, looking as if she wanted me thrown straight into prison.

I let out a humorless laugh. "Zack, Katherine, are you absolutely certain my son, Wade, personally called you?"

They answered in unison, "Of course!"

I took a deep breath slowly. "Well, this is truly eye-opening."

I turned to the judge and said firmly, "Your Honor, my son couldn't have made that phone call, nor could he have signed this agreement. The evidence they submitted is fabricated."

The judge was already holding the agreement and studying it with a frown.

Zack had a copy as well. He hurriedly held it up to the camera for the livestream viewers. "Everyone, take a look. It's written in black and white here, but Harry is still trying to talk his way out of this!"

The livestream chat erupted instantly.

"There's nothing to debate. He's already 20. He can choose his own guardian, and he signed it himself."

"Your Honor, just make the call already. Return the son to Zack and his wife."

However, the judge remained silent. I watched Katherine and Zack coldly.

Zack grew impatient and pointed at my face as he snapped, "Harry! Just you wait! When my son comes home, you're going to regret this!"

Katherine put on a concerned expression and tried to sound reasonable. "Harry, what doesn't belong to you will never belong to you. Why drag this out? All you're doing is adding more offenses to your name. It's better to confess sooner rather than later."

I replied icily, "Don't celebrate too soon. You might end up shooting yourselves in the foot."

Zack flew into a rage and tried to lunge at me, only to be restrained by the bailiffs.

At that moment, the judge finally spoke. He looked at me. "Defendant, do you have any additional evidence to present?"

I glanced at my watch and answered firmly, "Yes. I have two sets of evidence. First, I request that my son be summoned to appear in court. Judging by the time, he should already be here."

The judge approved. The courtroom doors slowly opened.

Zack's face lit up with excitement. "Wade! I can finally see you!"

Katherine gripped his hand tightly, staring at the entrance with anticipation.

The next second, a loud, resounding bark echoed through the courtroom. A massive Rottweiler burst in. The moment he saw me, he sat down eagerly and wagged his tail furiously.

I smiled faintly. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my son, Wade."

The entire courtroom was stunned. The livestream chat went wild.

"What the hell? What's going on? His son is a dog?"

"Oh my God, this has to be a mistake!"

Shock washed over Zack and Katherine. They stood there with their mouths agape, unable to process what they were seeing.

I remained composed. "This is my son, Wade, who was admitted to the police academy's official K9 program. Next month, he will become a police dog. I am very proud of him."

After saying that, I cast a mocking glance at Zack and Katherine. "As for your real son, I believe I know exactly where he is."
