One day before the trial, Andrew came. He was a busy man. He had a lot of work on his hand but he still spared his time to come, to support his son. He was not a good father for Kenichi when he was young. This time, he would not made same mistake.
From outside, Kenichi did not show any emotion. However, deep inside his heart, he was very joyful. Dispite being a grown up and independent man, he still yearned his father love and care.
The night before trial, he was very calm and content. The night went as normal, he coaxed Cacha to nake love with him then have dreamless night. With abundant love, care and support from his paternal family and his wife's family, nothing would drag him down. He felt that he was the luckies person in the world.
The morning of the trial, the whole family enjoyed their breakfast. They chatted and teased each other merely like nothing happen.
"what time is the trial ?" Andrew asked after they finished their breakfast.
"10.30. I told laywer Noda that we'll meet him in car park twenty minutes before" Kenichi said.
"Your other grandfather. will he be there ?" Andrew asked again
"I don't know"
"It's alreadt pass 9 o'clock. It's better to go now" Sean said.
"Sean is right. We better come earlier then Late" Andrew took his suit.
Kenichi kissed Cacha "Babe, you stay home with eldest sister. If you're bore, ask uncle Ryu to take you out, go shopping for baby or your nephews"
Cacha kissed him back and held his hand "Okay. Let me know as soon as it finish" Initially she asked to come with them to the court. She begged for few times but he did not let her. He said it was to tiring for her.
"I'll"
"Becareful " she held his hand firmly, reluctant to let him go.
Kenichi smiled. He hugged her for while "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Second brother will give us justice"
She took a deep breath "I know"
Sean who was already on the front door turned around. He was about to call Kenichi but stopped when he saw them cuddling.
Nick tapped his shoulder "Give them sometime. You know Cacha.."
Four cars convoyed out of the resident. First car was Andrew's bodyguards.
Andrew, Sean and Jasmine were in the second car. They talked about the strategy for the trial. Nick and Kenichi was on the third one. The last one was Kenichi's man. Uncle Hiro arranged them to protect him.
Kenichi and Nick did not talk about the trial. Instead they were discussing about business.
"K, I have discussed with the others three. We all disagree that you give us your company's share. We prefer you return our money back"
Kenichi smiled. He had predicted this answer before "I insist"
"K, The company is your tear and blood. You build it from zero. We monly gave you small help, we have no right to claim the luck"
"Bro, I need you guys to control me. With you join in, you can remind me when I'm off the track"
"K, without the share, we will help you"
"But it is not strong enough to stop me if I went to the wrong side. Bro, please support me. Please"
Nick signed "We don't have choice anyway, do we ?"
Kenichi chuckled "No. I won't give your money back, never"
"Slyman."
Kenichi snorted. He did not get offence "You realise it too late"
They arrived at the car park before 10 o'clock. Lawyer Noda was already waiting there while his assistant was already inside the court.
"Are we going in now ?" Nick asked. He and Kenichi were still in the car.
"No. second brother and lawyer Noda is finalising their strategy first"
Ten minutes later, Sean knocked the window. "Lets get inside now"
Kenichi and Nick got off from car, they buttoned their suit. Kenichi took a deep breath "Lets go"
Lawyer Noda smiled at Kenichi "You're a celebrity now. FYI, a lot of journalists there"
Sean, Jasmine and Lawyer Noda walked in the front. Sean askee Jasmine to walked in between he and Lawyer Noda to protect her from any push and pull insident.
Kenichi was behind them with Nick and Andrew on both his sides. Behind them were Bruce bodyguards while Kenichi's men merged with the the crowd.
The journalists were startled to see the famous lawyer coming. They wondered if there was another case on trial today. They also puzzled who the dark skin man was.
Until One of them then noticed Kenichi walking on the second row "It's him. Lawyer Noda is his legal team"
Then the journalists started to take pictures and asked questions
"Sir, are you sorry for the victims ?"
"Sir, where is your heart ? why are your so greedy ?"
Kenichi did not say anything. It was lawyer Noda who spoke "Don't make judgement. Please wait until the trial ended"
One of the journalists sent Sean picture to his office and asked his colleagues to find out about this man identity.
When they entered the court room, many people were there. Kenichi saw his maternal grandfather but he did not come to say hello. He walked with Lawyear Noda instead. Andrew did not bother to take a glance either. Only Nick, Sean and Jamine who came to greet the elder.
"Nick ?! Sean?!" Grandpa was surprised.
"Hello"
"nice to see you here. How's your parents going ?"
"Mum and Dad are not very good. No parents are fine when someone put them in trouble" Sean said.
Grandpa Yamaguchi smiled awkwardly. He understood what Sean meant.
Jasmine pinched her husband waist. "Mum told us to be polite" she reminded her husband.
Sean rolled his eyes. He did not have any debt to them like his brother. He also was not kind heart people like his parents. For him, he had no obligation to be polite to someone who made trouble for his family members.
"I'm already being polite. how unlucky our little brother is to have such a family" Sean voice was not loud. Only his wife and Nick heard him
"I'm part of Kenichi's legal team. It's inappropriate for me to stay" Sean took his wife away and joined lawyer Noda.
"Mum and Dad can't come. So, they asked me instead" Same like his brother, Nick was not pleased with the elder. However, he still maintained his attitude.
"Alice ?"
"She's and Aunty Jen, K's step mother are at home with Cacha. I hope they can cheer her up. See you later grandpa"
"See you" Grandpa Yamaguchi signed. He could not blame the brothers. They must be unhappy .
"They looked familar. Father, they are.." Mrs Matsunaga who was next to Grandpa Yamaguchi asked. She only met them on Kenichi's wedding day. It was normal that she did not recorgnise the brothers.
"Kenichi brothers in law. Sean is renowned international lawyer. Of course he's here to defend their sister's husband. It's funny that us, you and me And don't even dare to speak for him"
"father ?!"
"his wife's family support him but us, his own blood betray him" Grandpa Yamaguchi laughed bitterly.
Mrs Matsunaga was speechless, she felt guilty for not trusting her son. She had been waiting for him to ask her help but that moment never came. At that very moment, she wanted to hug him and said sorry. However, she was too coward and too proud to admit her fault, especially with her ex husband was around.
