705 Back in Action - Part 2
Monday, continued…
As they were eating breakfast, James and Alecia who had already eaten and gone for a walk returned, and everyone else drifted into the casual dining area for breakfast.? When Anna and Hou Yi stood up to leave, Du AnLing said "Leave Little Jang with us, as you do not need the distraction."
Hou Yi, before Anna could say anything said, "Thank you mum, that is a relief." With that he hurried Anna out of the dining area, with James and Alecia following them.? As the car they were in headed into Warrnambool Anna turned to Hou Yi and said "Why…"
"Anna, a court is not the place for Jang.?? Plus, you need to focus on legal matters without the distraction of Jang as your mother and grandfather will try to mess with you."
"But…"
"No buts Anna.? We both know everyone at the property can look after Jang for a few hours, plus the Nannies are due back later today, so stop worrying and focus on being a lawyer, rather than Jang\'s mother for a few hours."
"Or…"
Hou Yi leant over and whispered in her ear "I will not indulge you like last night, given Jang was off our hands until around 1am when he wanted a feed.? When have we really had the chance to indulge in each other without any worries about things?"
Blushing Anna responded "You meanie.? That was amazing last night, and you want to hold back on me?"
"Well…"
Leaning over Anna gave Hou Yi a quick but passionate kiss before responding "I can tease you so much that as soon as we get back you will not be able to do anything other than hurry me back to our suite."
"We will see."
"I hope so," quickly retorted Anna with a smile on her face, as she brushed her hand across Hou Yi, resulting in him tensing slightly, before she leant over and rested her head on his shoulder.
After around twenty minutes, Anna realised that they had reached the area of the court.? Having previously told the bodyguards that they would struggle to get parking near the court, the car stopped and let them off.? Along with James and Alecia, they headed accompanied by six bodyguards towards the court building where they met Stan before heading through security and into the court building.
Anna quickly advised the court staff that they were present, and as everyone sat down, she slipped into the courtroom, to speak briefly to the Police Prosecutor that would handle the matter on the police\'s behalf.? After a brief discussion, she headed out to find the lawyers who would be appearing for her mother and grandfather to discuss the matter.? Both were adamant that they would not only fight the charges but the applications to vary existing orders and new orders. ?That did not surprise Anna, and as she walked out after the quick discussion, she realised how much she missed being in court as an advocate. ?It challenged her and made her feel as is she made a difference, in case for her.
Sitting down with everyone, Anna quickly explained what was happening, and that they simply had to wait until the court called the matter.? It was just on 11am, when the matters involving her mother and grandfather were called into court.? Following Anna, Hou Yi, James, Alecia, Stan and their accompanying bodyguards headed into the court room.? Anna pointed to everyone where they should sit, and she headed to bar table where the police Prosecutor and the Lawyers for her mother and grandfather were sitting.? As her mother and grandfather were brought into the dock, Anna could see the look of anger and aggression pass over their face.? They blamed her for this situation and were ready to take it out on her.
Seeing her at the bar table, the Magistrate immediately inquired of Anna, who she was and who she was representing.? Explaining her situation to the court, she could observe that the Magistrate was angry that he has having to deal with a complicated family situation.? However, Anna could detect that he was willing to listen to the matters.? As her mother and grandfather opted to contest the criminal matters they were left until after the police application for intervention orders were dealt with.? Anna was expecting this as the police would want to know the intervention order situation before adopting a final position on bail.? After hearing from the police and the lawyers for her mother and grandfather on the intervention order, the magistrate looked to Anna, and she stood up.
"Your honour, I hate to be in this situation with my mother and grandfather in the dock, but the situation is becoming intolerable. ?My grandfather, in storming into the church yesterday breached a previous intervention order that required him to not communicate with me or come within 50 meters of me."
"The circumstances in which that order was granted occurred when he attempted to interfere with a family law case where I was one of the lawyers assigned by my firm to represent a woman, who left the her husband which belonged to the religious group my grandfather was the elder of.? Without passing comment on those circumstances the court believed that it needed to protect me to prevent any allegations being directed of perverting the course of justice…"
