Chapter 8 - The Media Circus
Reporter: We are standing outside the courthouse today,
where the trial of the decade is about to begin,
the billionaire bigamist faces his past.
Guest: I am just here to watch the show,
I brought popcorn,
this is better than television.
Reporter: The disgraced CEO arrived earlier,
flanked by a dozen security guards,
looking visibly stressed and exhausted.
Guest: He deserves every bit of it,
I heard he stopped paying his employees,
his company is practically bankrupt.
Reporter: Rumors are swirling that his former bride,
the heiress to the tech fortune,
might make a surprise appearance today.
Guest: Oh,
that would be fantastic,
a clash of the titans right here in the courtroom.
Reporter: Let us see if we can get a statement,
excuse me, sir,
do you have any comments on the allegations?
Groom: No comment,
please step aside,
let my client pass.
Lawyer: My client is completely innocent of these fabricated charges,
we will prove that this is an extortion attempt,
thank you.
Maid: Extortion?
He is the one trying to steal my child,
he is a monster.
Reporter: Ma'am,
how are you feeling today?
Are you confident in your case?
Maid: I am fighting for my son's life,
I am not nervous,
I am angry.
Reporter: The public is overwhelmingly on your side,
thousands of women have tweeted their support,
how does that feel?
Maid: It gives me strength,
knowing I am not alone in this fight,
knowing the truth matters to people.
Reporter: And here she comes,
the bride who was left at the altar,
stunning in a black designer suit.
Bride: Make way,
no pictures please,
I said no pictures.
Reporter: Miss,
are you testifying today?
Are you teaming up with the first wife?
Bride: I am here to ensure justice is served,
that is all I have to say,
back off.
Guest: Wow,
she looks fierce,
she is going to destroy him on the stand.
Reporter: Inside the courtroom,
the tension is palpable,
the judge has just taken the bench.
Judge: Order in the court,
we are here for the custody hearing,
and the related fraud charges.
Lawyer: Your Honor,
we request to dismiss the fraud charges,
they are completely baseless.
Judge: Motion denied,
we will hear all testimonies today,
call your first witness.
Maid: This is it,
May you like
the moment of truth,
I am ready.
