The headlines are getting increasingly exaggerated.

More and more people are starting to discuss it.

Eleanor's age of twenty-three, in particular, makes this matter even more intriguing.

More than thirty illegitimate children.

Are your kidneys made of iron?

Some people believe it, while others doubt it.

Some people were simply there to watch the spectacle.

After all, this is the first time that the recently high-profile Eleanor Hopkins has stood in court.

Outside the courthouse.

The reporters waited early in the morning.

The camera kept flashing.

Do you think Hopkins will appear?

"of course."

"He's someone close to the president."

"If he doesn't show up, it actually indicates that there's a problem."

The reporters spoke in hushed tones.

They were looking forward to seeing a disheveled young man, a rising political star struck by scandal.

However, at 10 a.m.

A black sedan was parked in front of the courthouse.

The car door opened, and Eleanor stepped out.

He remained calm, with his new lawyer, Ms. Truman, following behind him.

Reporters immediately swarmed around.

"Mr. Hopkins!"

Do you admit to these allegations?

"Do you really have more than thirty illegitimate children?"

Do you have any special tips or tricks that you could share?

Numerous questions arose simultaneously.

The flashes of light were continuous.

But Eleanor did not stay.

He appeared completely unconcerned about the upcoming court hearing and walked straight into the courthouse.

This scene left many reporters stunned.

"He was so calm."

Someone whispered, "If an ordinary person encountered this kind of thing, the pressure would probably have caused them to explode long ago."

"Is he really innocent?"

"Or is it simply a matter of being fearless and having nothing to fear?"

Inside the courtroom.

The gallery was already full.

There were many more reporters here than in ordinary cases.

There are also many political observers.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the young White House advisor to explain.

soon.

There was another disturbance in the gallery.

Several women entered the courtroom.

They are different in age, identity, race, everything.

But they all have one thing in common.

They all claimed that they had had a special relationship with Eleanor.

Some people were even holding children.

Seeing these people, a sigh rippled through the audience. What a terrible thing! I will never forgive that beast, Eleanor!

then……

More and more people.

One after another, countless women carrying children walked in.

The entire courtroom was practically in chaos.

The reporters stood up almost simultaneously as they watched the women file in.

"here we go again?"

"besides?"

"How many people are there exactly?"

The flashbulbs went off like crazy.

It was originally just a private scandal.

But now, because of these huge numbers of women, the whole wind has changed.

Some reporters even began to discuss it in hushed tones.

"Is this really something a human could do? He's only twenty-three years old, isn't he?"

"Could it really be a rare talent?"

"You know what... I'm a little envious of him."

On the other side...

Eleanor sat in the defendant's dock.

Watching the people enter the courtroom one after another.

Truman, standing nearby, asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Hopkins... are you really sure?"

Eleanor glanced ahead.

"Don't worry, everyone will get what they want today."

At this time.

The judge walked into the courtroom.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

The court clerk stood up and read out the court rules.

The judge slowly raised his gavel.

Boom!

The gavel fell.

"Court is now in session."

Chapter 96: This child is mine

"Court is now in session."

The courtroom fell completely silent.

The judge opened the documents in his hand: "The plaintiff in this case may begin his statement."

The plaintiff's lawyer stood up.

His name is Leonard Bell. He was born in the South, graduated from Harvard Law School, and served as a Senate investigative lawyer.

He is highly experienced and exceptionally capable.

He appeared confident and composed, clearly indicating his assurance regarding the trial.

"The plaintiff called Ms. Mary Allen as the first witness."

The judge nodded: "Summoning is permitted."

A woman stood up from the plaintiff's seat.

She was Mary Allen, the first person to bring charges against Eleanor.

She was twenty years old, beautiful, and came from a respectable family.

She walked to the witness stand, her eyes still showing signs of crying.

The clerk asked her to raise her right hand.

"Can you guarantee that everything you are about to say is true?"

Mary took a deep breath: "I promise."

The judge glanced at the document.

"Ms. Allen, why are you suing Mr. Hopkins?"
