222 The Trial (2)

Daryn was sitting right behind Dawn. He appeared in control and of course was inviting too many stolen glances from men and women. 

It wasn't that everyday media got such juicy trials to report. Almost every news channel, every newspaper reporter was present there outside the courthouse. Only a few were allowed to get in the court. Other than that key witnesses were standing on the outside with their lawyers and some important government officials. There was excitement amongst all of them. They wanted to see how this family feud would pan out. Most of them were against Dawn for bringing down her father's empire. Only a few sided with her for not being given what originally belonged to her. 

Hertz had informed Anne and Helena about the general sentiment of the public and so he hoped that the date of the hearing was extended without much of a trial.
