"You have to listen to this!" Chad said when he showed up at Rosalie's attorney office.

"A tape recording. Only problem is that it is going to be inadmissible in court."

"Why is that?" Chad questioned.

"Because you obtained it without either Missy or Mr. Jantz' consent."

"So I screwed up?" Chad said, feeling like a failure.

"No, maybe not. Maybe I can get a confession from Missy on the stand?"

"Well, I'll see you at the trial this morning." Chad said before he left the law firm.

Chad left Rosalie's attorney office with a glimmer of hope. He went to Rosalie's house to give her the good news.

Later, Rosalie and Chad show up at the courthouse for the trial. Chad notices the smirk on Missy's face as she sits behind Mr. Jantz at the plaintiff's table with his attorney.

"Don't look so happy, Missy! You're about to go down!" Chad said under his breath.

"Did you say something, Chad?" Rosalie asked, as the two walked to their seats, Rosalie in the defendant's table with her attorney, and Chad right behind her.

----------------------------------------------------

The judge brought the court to order and called on Rosalie's attorney to call his next witness.

"The defense wishes to recall Missy Devereaux to the stand." Rosalie's attorney says to the judge and the court.

"Ms. Devereaux, would you take the stand." The judge tells Missy.

With determination, Rosalie's attorney found a way to use the evidence Chad got on the tape recorder to get a confession from Missy Devereaux about how she convinced Mr. Jantz to give Rosalie the assistant management position under false pretenses by trying to seduce her into taking the job.

After the jury was sent out for deliberation, they came back after only half an hour with a verdict.

"Have you reached a verdict?" the judge asked the foreman of the jury.

"We have Your Honor." The foreman of the jury replied, as the bailiff took the paper from the foreman to hand to the judge.

"What is your verdict?"

"Not guilty!" the foreman replies to the judge and court.

Rosalie and Chad rejoice in hearing the jury's verdict: Not guilty. She had won the case, despite all Missy and Mr. Jantz tried to do to make her look guilty.

"I'm so happy for you, Rosalie." Chad said. "I knew we could do it!"

As Chad and Rosalie hugged each other in triumphant, Missy glared at them. She couldn't believe that Rosalie won. After all she did to ensure that Rosalie went down. Well, she may have won this round, but the war on Rosalie Jansen wasn't over!

As Missy fumed over this loss, Chad took Rosalie home and told her to get ready for tonight as he had a surprise for her.
