Chapter 1534
“Ms. Carolina, you’re well aware of the conflicts between Ms. Wendy and Ms. Summers. Ms. Wendy even tried to
screw Ms. Summers over. And you’re still siding with her? Isn’t that a bit much to ask Ms. Summers to foot your
bill?”
Carolina’s face darkened, “If she’d been a bit more reasonable, why would I have sided with Ms. Wendy? She didn’t
fulfill her duty, and it’s been Ms. Wendy who’s been taking care of me all this time.”
“So, in your eyes, whoever gives you money is the good guy, huh?” A chilly voice laced with sarcasm came from
behind. Everyone turned to see Chloe, dressed in a slim–fit down jacket and hands in pockets, surrounded by
bodyguards, nonchalantly making her way over.
Seeing her composed demeanor, Carolina’s face instantly grew colder. She huffed, her face darkening, “Are you
implying I’m greedy? Chloe, my dear granddaughter, as a businesswoman, you should know to respect the people
who give you money.”
Chloe gave a cold chuckle, but there was no warmth in her smile.c2
“Oh, really?” Chloe cut her off, the sarcastic smile on her face becoming more apparent, “So if I give you money,
does that mean you will respect
me?”
“Ha!” Chloe’s words made the crowd burst into laughter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ms. Summers is as sharp–tongued as ever.”
“She always knows what to say, it’s really impressive.”
“Well said, I think this old hag only recognizes money. Whoever gives her money, she could even call them granny.”
It was pretty nasty to make such sarcastic remarks about an elderly person. But when someone behaved too
shamelessly, and even if they were unwilling to accept the criticisms and ridicules, they had no choice but to endure
it.
Carolina flushed with embarrassment and yelled at Chloe, “You! This is absurd!”
Chloe gave a cold laugh, “You’re familiar with the word ‘absurd‘?”
Carolina had never been able to get the upper hand over Chloe in verbal exchanges. In fact, she didn’t have any
advantage over Chloe in other aspects either, Every time, she was left fuming by Chloe. Wendy, on the side, wished
she could kill Chloe with her glare, “Chloe, she’s your grandmother after all. Aren’t you afraid of karma for talking
to her like this?”
Chloe looked down at Wendy in her wheelchair, and smiled, “You guys aren’t afraid. Why should I be?”
Wendy glared at Chloe’s calm face, “You won’t end well, Chloe. There are twists and turns in life, I’m waiting for the
day to see you cry.”
Chloe nodded slightly, “Let’s live in the present. If you feel better thinking like that, then go on. But I think I’m
accumulating good karma.”
She had no intention of engaging in a lengthy discussion with them. After she had spoken, she prepared to leave.
The reporters immediately swarmed her, “Ms. Summers, what are your thoughts on today’s lawsuit?”
Chloe replied, “None.”
“How confident are you about winning this lawsuit?” The reporters asked.
Chloe said, “100%.”
The reporters wanted to continue asking questions, but Chloe had already stepped onto the stage. Several
bodyguards immediately blocked their path. Since the reporters couldn’t interview Chloe anymore, they
immediately turned their attention to Carolina and Wendy, “Ms. Carolina, can you guess what edge Ms: Summers
will have to win this lawsuit? Ms. Alonso, what do you think?”
The faces of Wendy and Carolina had slightly changed due to Chloe’s previous words. They also started to feel
nervous. The more calm and composed Chloe was, the more uneasy they felt. But after thinking it over, they both
felt that in this lawsuit about money, Chloe didn’t have any gaps to exploit.
So how could she win this lawsuit? It seemed utterly impossible.
“She’s just bluffing. Trying to overpower us with her aura, how naive! This isn’t a gamble, can she win by bluffing? I
won’t fall for her childish tricks!” Carolina said.
For this lawsuit, they had racked their brains thinking of all the possibilities that Chloe could exploit. But in reality,
there were none. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have appeared here so confidently today. And Wendy wouldn’t have
joined in so blatantly.
Even though Carolina said this, she couldn’t shake off her unease. She insisted that she wouldn’t be affected by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe’s bluff, but in reality, she had been affected. The same was true for Wendy. From the moment Chloe
appeared here in her calm demeanor, she felt uneasy. After all, they had never won in their fights against Chloe.
When they thought they were 100% sure to win, Chloe always managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat. They were
genuinely starting to fear Chloe’s tactics.
But this time, they were extremely cautious. After all, the law was clear. How could Chloe possibly win this lawsuit?
The reporters were also filled with curiosity, eager to see how Chloe would turn the tables at the end.
“Ms. Carolina, if you do win this lawsuit, will there be any changes to the 2 billion you previously asked from Ms.
Summers?” The reporters asked. Carolina snorted, her words full of stubbornness, “She’s unrepentant. Since I can’t
change her, then she has to pay the price. Given her attitude now, 2 billion is a bargain!”
At this point, there was a disturbance in the crowd. The reporters followed the sound and saw a middle–aged man
leading an elderly man dressed modestly, slowly making his way towards the courthouse with the aid of a walking
stick.
They could hear people in the crowd questioning, “Isn’t that Jonah?”
“And that one, Nick, the son of the Summers family. Geez, these two really. Things have already escalated to this
point and only now they show up! Are they doing this on purpose or something?”
Jonah? Suddenly showing up at this time? Watching his spouse take his granddaughter to court, wonder what was
going through his mind.
As soon as the identity of the old man was confirmed, the reporters swarmed over again.
