Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

When Quincy Jones appeared on the screen, many people sitting in front of the TV had already scolded angrily, and many of them were also the ones who attacked Eliza the most when she appeared before. people.But now, they don't think they have any serious faults in this process at all. They are just "innocent netizens who have been deceived by Quincy Jones, a treacherous villain", so when they scold Quincy Jones, they are very serious. Work hard.

Not only scolding in front of the TV, they also kept posting all kinds of insults against Quincy Jones on various social platforms and the comment area of ​​the live broadcast room.

'Quincy Jones the old rumormonger! '

'This time, the sentence should be the same as the sentence, and don't make the punishment that is not light or itchy like before. '

'Why doesn't Quincy Jones die! '

Eliza walked into the courtroom, her eyes on Quincy Jones.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she saw Quincy Jones, a senior in the music industry, in reality, but she never expected that it would be on such an occasion.

She raised her lips slightly, and showed a standard smile in the direction of Quincy Jones, which was perfect without any flaws.But Quincy Jones seemed to be irritated by her in an instant, and veins burst out on his forehead. The man walking behind him quickly pressed his tense arm, and Quincy seemed to react.He restrained his anger and gave Elisa a hard look, and then he was pushed to stand on the defendant's seat.

Seeing Quincy's reaction, Eliza didn't have the slightest emotion. Her eyes calmly fell on the tall and thin man who came out from behind Quincy.

This should be Quincy Jones' defense attorney.

Quincy Jones' defense attorney was a man with thin-rimmed glasses and a gentle appearance, but his face was unnaturally pale. Even though the makeup was prepared because he had notified the live broadcast in advance, it did not brighten him up. complexion.

Originally, their law firm was unwilling to accept this order. With the attention of this case, the lawyers and law firms who helped Quincy Jones' defense were very likely to encounter a major blow to public opinion.But Quincy Jones had nowhere to go after negotiating with Carlos and failed, and he did not hesitate to invest a huge sum of money to invite a well-known lawyer, and one of the directors of their law firm finally gave up for the huge sum of money. mouthed.And he was the one who pushed his back to the light after a lot of struggles.

Their law firm was not notified in advance, and he knew that this trial would be broadcast live at the same time as other viewers.When the news came, he was sitting in his office doing final research on the lawsuit.After hearing the news, he sat in the office for a while, and finally could only lean on the back of the chair, covering his face and smiling wryly.

No need for others to tell him, he already knew very well that after this lawsuit, it would be even more difficult for him to do anything in the legal profession.

But what he has to do now is to seriously finish this lawsuit with a very small chance of winning.

Quincy Jones' defense attorney stepped steadily to his place.

After the head of the jury took the oath, the judge came to the scene, and this time the on-site trial officially began.

"From September 2017 to October 9, the defendant, Quincy Jones, fabricated facts that damaged Elisa Lin's reputation on the Internet by hiring trolls and colluding with news media organizations. A large number of dissemination caused the majority of netizens to repost and slander... According to research, the defendant Quincy Jones fabricated facts that damaged the reputation of others and spread them on the information network, causing bad social impact and seriously endangering social order; fabricating false information in the information network Distributed on the Internet, caused disturbances, and caused serious disorder in public order... It should be investigated for criminal responsibility in an Internet defamation case."

When the prosecutors reported the nature of the charges and what happened in the case, there was also a lot of turmoil on the Internet.

'Before there were still people clamoring, if Elisa was really maliciously defamed, why didn't she go to court to confront her? Balabala must have been guilty again. Now Elisa really stood in court, and Quincy Jones also stood in court. After leaving the dock, no one should open their eyes and talk nonsense now, right? (smile.JPG)'

'Don't talk, the more you talk, the more angry I get...

The typical victim culpability theory, but they still insist on pretending to be fair. Do you really think that others don't know what they are thinking? '

'Anyone who can pretend to be blind in front of such an obvious truth is either stupid or bad! '

'I'm also curious, how much courage does this lawyer have to accept this defense that confuses black and white? '

'You think too much, you don't need courage, just give money. '

……

In the sight of heated discussions on the Internet, Quincy Jones' lawyer on the scene has already started his defense, "In this case, the account registration address and IP address suspected of spreading rumors have not been verified, and a screenshot of a transfer record And the unverified recordings cannot prove that the defendant was involved. On the contrary, this kind of unprovoked publishing of the defendant's information on the Internet seriously violated the defendant's right to freedom..."

After hearing Quincy Jones' defense lawyer utter the words that turned black and white, the audience who were watching the real-time live broadcast of the trial immediately exploded.

'Fuck!Is this lawyer not guilty at all for saying such a thing? '

'This is a backlash, hehe, I think the screenshots and recordings of the transfer records are amazing!If it weren't for this, maybe no one really knows what this person is doing behind the scenes. '

' That's what lawyers do, and when he takes the case, he has to defend his employer by all means. '

'Hehe, the black ones can also be forcibly washed into white ones... Maybe the next step is to say that Quincy Jones didn't have any malicious intentions at first, but he just expressed his thoughts normally, but was deliberately used by some new media (I nonsense). '

'No!Up front you are correct! '

'Oh My God!This lawyer really said that...I think I'm going deaf...'

……

"But there is no way to prove that the defendant, Mr. Jones, had subjective will in this process..." Quincy Jones' defense lawyer calmly finished his sentence, but couldn't help but raised his glasses lightly, the corner of his mouth twitching. There was a wry smile, but it was quickly covered up, and a fine layer of cold sweat had already oozed out from his back before he knew it.

No need to think about it, when he said these words, the audience who were watching the live broadcast of the court trial would evaluate him.

After the defense lawyer of the defendant Quincy Jones finished his main defense points, it was the turn of the prosecution on Elisa's side to present evidence and bring out witnesses.

Elisa invited three witnesses, and every time one appeared, Quincy Jones' face turned white.

The first is the police officer of the Los Angeles Police Department who is in charge of this investigation; the second is the bank executive who is familiar with him and is also responsible for helping him handle these transfers; and the third is handcuffed. Although the person who came up was a bit unfamiliar, Quincy recognized him at the first moment—it was the leader of the navy he hired.After the incident was exposed, he originally planned to contact the other party through a private mobile phone to discuss countermeasures, but found that the other party could not be contacted at all. He did not expect that he would appear at the court hearing today.

Each of the three witnesses took an oath in accordance with the procedure before presenting evidence.When the bank executive was taking the oath, Quincy Jones stared at the other party's eyes, as if he was going to swallow the other party alive, but he was powerless to stop him from confessing the fact that Quincy Jones transferred money to hire sailors.

Eliza has been watching Quincy Jones' face from the sidelines, and the corners of her mouth are raised when there is no sweat on his forehead.

In the face of strong facts, even the subsequent rounds of debate can only be powerless.Quincy Jones' lawyer realized this early on, and in the ensuing debate, he was only doing his part as a lawyer.When the debate was over, he was the most relieved in the entire court.

"Final decision—"

"Defendant Quincy Jones was found guilty of cyber libel and is ordered to pay Plaintiff Eliza Lim $1240 million in damages."

The moment the verdict was announced, the Internet has already exploded.

'I wipe, wipe, wipe!It really came down!Although I was very angry before, I always pessimistically thought that there would be no judgment. After all, public figures have natural disadvantages when they sue for online defamation. I didn't expect it! '

'I don't want to say any extra words, just one sentence - the Los Angeles Supreme Court is awesome! '

'Nice 1'

'Awesome Driver's License Numbers'

'It's just too fresh!I can't stand those people who make sarcastic remarks for a long time, and it's okay to be spread rumors, I can go to fucking! '

……

Hearing the final jury verdict, Quincy Jones, who was already dripping with cold sweat on the defendant's seat, finally couldn't help but his legs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a pale face.

It's over, it's all over...

His jacket had long been soaked in sweat, sticking to his back. Quincy Jones was full of despair, his eyes seemed to be blank, and regret flooded his heart like a tide.

Up to now, Quincy can't remember why he started to target Elisa. She and himself had no conflict at all. Isn't it good to live in peace with each other...

It was all because of his small stomach, his jealousy, and the slightest bit of luck that he did all these things under the banner of "justice" in his heart.

Hearing the judge's final decision, Eliza watched the black old man collapse on the ground and was dragged out of the court with cold eyes, without any emotion of pity.

Although it was only compensation for money, this was a live broadcast of the trial after all, and it was a case that attracted so much attention from the society.It looks like Quincy Jones is just paying a small number that doesn't hurt him, but actually for such a hard-working public figure as Quincy Jones, it comes close to killing him If there are any public activities in the future, I am afraid that he will be excluded from the candidate list immediately.

For Quincy Jones, it probably hurt him more than killing him.

……

Far away in a hospital ward in Atlanta.

The sun was shining from the windows, clearly it was warm autumn, but the atmosphere in the room seemed to be cold winter.

The black-haired woman was leaning on the bed, her pearly black eyes reflected the desperate face of the black man on TV, but her eyes were cold, unable to see the usual gentleness.The man in the wheelchair beside her also had suppressed anger in his eyes.

"Charles." The dark-haired woman gently called out his name, her tone was extremely calm, as if she was stating an ordinary fact, "I don't want to let him go so easily."

Charles held the black-haired woman's hand hanging on the edge of the hospital bed, silently, without saying a word, and held her cold fingers in his palm.

Christo stared at the picture on the TV, narrowing his eyes slightly.

===

After ending this lawsuit, Elisa temporarily returned to Yale University.

On the first day of class, a boy she had never met ran up to her, said "I'm sorry" in a mosquito-like voice, and ran away blushing.Eliza was still confused, but in the next few days, people came to her one after another to say sorry.

One day, when Elisa was passing the school basketball court, a tall boy wearing a tracksuit suddenly rushed out of the basketball court, stopped in front of Elisa and bowed ninety degrees, saying loudly After "I'm sorry", Eliza finally couldn't bear to stop him.

"Hey, why did you say 'sorry' to me?"

Hearing Elisa's question, the boy's back froze visibly, until Elisa turned to him and looked straight into his eyes, and asked again, he whispered, "Because last time... When the rumors started, I believed the rumors, and..."

He was ruthless, closed his eyes and said, "Also... scolded you on the campus forum."

After speaking, the boy didn't dare to open his eyes to see Eliza's expression.But I heard a woman's voice, "Oh, that's all, that's all right."

Facing the boy's disbelieving eyes, Elisa couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, but in the next second, her smile froze.

"Then... May I confess to you?" The boy couldn't help shouting out the words in his heart when he got excited.

"What..." Eliza couldn't help asking when she heard the booing whistles coming from the basketball court.

"I have observed you and that Mr. Wayne..." When he said the words "Mr. Wayne", a murderous look flashed in the boy's eyes. Crawler analysis. After you confirmed your love relationship, Mr. Wayne’s dynamics in gossip magazines dropped sharply, and the only part of it was gossip with you. But just a month ago, his news volume in gossip magazines recovered It has reached the previous frequency, therefore, either you have broken up, or there are some problems in the relationship between you."

The boy spat out this analysis like a cannonball, "So...can I confess to you?"

"I can't." Eliza refused without thinking. Seeing the puzzled look in the boy's eyes, she turned around in embarrassment, "I accept your apology, but I'm sorry."

The boy stood still and watched Elisa leave in a hurry. The buddy he played with just now ran out of the basketball court and put his shoulders on his shoulders, "How is it?"

The boy turned his head and asked puzzledly, "Is my analysis...wrong? Why did Elisa react like this?"

"I'll go! Did you tell her your analysis?"

"That's right," the boy nodded as a matter of course, "I also told her that I used crawlers to collect data and make inferences." He looked at his buddy suspiciously, "Is there any problem?"

His buddy could only raise his thumb in silence, and forced a smile, "No, no problem, boss, you are awesome."

When I turned around, I couldn't help muttering, "No wonder I can't catch up with girls."

……

Elisa almost ran away, walked a few hundred meters and turned the street corner before leaning her back against the wall and squatting down quietly.He covered his face, took a deep breath, and suppressed the tears in his eyes.

"Hey, your latest class..."

The voice of the girl chirping came, and Elisa buried her face deeper. They walked by talking and laughing, but no one noticed the blond woman squatting in the corner.
