Love You Till the End Chapter 1191 - 1189: Shi Mei vs. Shi Keke (36)

Identifying the registered trademark visible on the hotel wall, the presidential suite where they stayed was indeed part of the Di Jing Group’s "Emperor" hotel, the sole six-star establishment in Du City.

Their discussion later corroborated this, revealing that on July 18th of this year, Qian Hao had not been overseas inspecting projects, but was instead engaged in an illicit meeting with Zhao Shanshan at the very same hotel.

Witnessing the intimate video featuring Zhao Shanshan being displayed, Qian Hao erupted in fury, slamming his hand on the table with agitation. "This is utterly outrageous! You are inhumane! You don't deserve to be a lawyer!"

Chen Shijin attempted to signal him to control himself, but Qian Hao was too overcome with emotion, shouting and causing a scene. "Shi, do you truly believe I can utterly destroy you?"

"Silence!" The judge's gavel struck, issuing a stern warning to Qian Hao.

At this juncture, a court officer approached to restrain Qian Hao, escorting him back to the defendant's seat and reiterating the warning.

Shi Keke cast an indifferent glance at him before shifting her focus back to the judge. "Your Honor, we now formally request to present evidence number two to the court."

"Objection!" Chen Shijin promptly stood up. "Considering my client's unstable emotional state, and the necessity for our side to retrieve new physical evidence, we implore the court for a thirty-minute recess."

The judge ultimately granted Chen Shijin's request for a recess, pausing the current case hearing and announcing a thirty-minute suspension.

Within the confines of the lounge, Chen Shijin endeavored to calm Qian Hao, stressing the importance of maintaining composure in the courtroom. He warned that any further outbursts could lead to charges of "intimidation," potentially initiating another lawsuit against him.

"Lawyer Chen, did you not assure me of our victory in this case? How could the opposing party procure such compelling evidence? The situation is dire for us now; if they present further evidence, I am finished!"

Chen Shijin spoke with gravity. "Mr. Qian, I did indeed promise you that I would secure victory in this case. However, circumstances have drastically shifted. As you can plainly see, the evidence presented by the prosecution is exceedingly detrimental to your position. It not only confirms your falsehoods in court but also exposes your marital infidelity. To salvage this situation now, I fear we must consider a tactical retreat."

"Impossible!" Qian Hao retorted with absolute refusal. "I will never concede. That woman has been with me for so many years, living off my wealth. Now she seeks to claim a portion of my assets? Absolutely not!"

"Mr. Qian, please calm yourself and hear me out." Chen Shijin poured a cup of tea and offered it to him. "In the division of marital assets, the general principle applied is equal distribution, meaning a fifty-fifty split. However, during the actual division process, the court will take into account the legitimate interests of the wronged party and the woman, often granting them preferential treatment, which translates to a larger share. Consequently, with the current evidence pointing to you as the offending party, your wife may indeed receive a greater portion."

"Regarding assets that cannot be easily divided, such as property, the court will typically require both parties to negotiate. Whoever wishes to retain the house must compensate the other party with half its appraised value. Should neither party desire the house and a negotiation fails, the court, upon application, will order an assessment, and the proceeds from an auction will be divided equally."

"However, if direct negotiation fails and no assessment is requested, the court will generally prioritize finalizing the divorce itself. Post-divorce, if the house remains jointly owned, any subsequent disputes will need to be addressed or litigated separately."
