Chapter 1537
If Nate could see it, then Chloe was crystal clear about it. She quirked an eyebrow and winked at Damon. Damon
smirked a little.
The tiny interaction between the two was seen by the judges sitting ahead. They were speechless, almost ready to
flip their lids. This was the court for crying out loud!
But the eye contact between the two wasn’t that obvious, so they had nothing to say.
Chloe was oblivious to the judges‘ inner reactions. She turned to Carolina and smiled, “So, Ms. Carolina? Are you
happy with the arrangements I made for Keira?”
Chloe saw the indignation on Carolina’s face. She smiled, “Bottom line, jail is where she belongs. Since she’s too shy
to say it, I’ll help out since you brought it up today. It’s no biggie, no need to thank me.”
Chloe’s actions made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. They were literally about to die from Carolina’s antics.
Thank goodness Chloe didn’t let them down.d2
Wendy sat in her wheelchair, her eyes filled with unhidden hatred and malice for Chloe. Especially seeing her smug
face, she wished Chloe would drop dead right in front of her a thousand times.
Carolina might be heartless, but when it came to Keira, she had invested her whole life in her. Even knowing Chloe
was her own biological granddaughter, in her heart, Keira, the granddaughter she had pampered for half her life
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith no blood relation, was irreplaceable.
However…
“Your love for her is your business, nothing to do with me. Want me to help her? Ms. Carolina, you might not realize
how much I hope she has a rough time.” Chloe said.
Carolina’s face turned even uglier.
“Anything else? Any other complaints?” Chloe asked.
Carolina squinted at Chloe, realizing it was pointless to argue further. “For now, no.”
Chloe chuckled, “There’s no ‘for now‘ in court. If you can’t think of it now, it won’t matter once we leave the court.
Oh well, I think anymore you say will still be useless though.”
Carolina didn’t respond, showing contempt for Chloe’s words. She glanced at her lawyer whose face had turned
quite ugly, and decided to keep quiet.
What was the biggest taboo for lawyers in court? It was when their clients start running their mouths. Because the
law was very strict. To say one wrong thing, even one word, it could cost them a case they could’ve won.
The additional conditions Carolina just mentioned, they were beyond what they had previously discussed. Was it
trying to milk more out of the situation? Had Carolina lived so long and still not learned this simple thing?
However, just as the lawyer noticed Carolina was about to stop, and he was about to stand up to express his
demands, Chloe on the other side calmly spoke, “Did everything Ms. Carolina just said fall within the 2 billion you
previously mentioned?”
This remark… Did it sound like she was ready to cough up the money?
The lawyer looked at Carolina. Upon hearing the question, she immediately replied, “Do you think it’s possible? I’ve
said long ago if you insist on going to court, then the amount will definitely not just be 2 billion.”
“Oh? So how much do you want?” Chloe asked with a smile.
“In addition to my 2 billion, adding the money for your grandfather and your father, 5 billion is just a drop in the
bucket for you, right? Also, the shares you took that belonged to me and your father, I hope you can return them to
us. In the end, all the Summers family matters are yours, just want to be involved in every decision of the company.
You’ve got a lot on your plate right now. We’ll help you carry some, so you’ll have it easier.” Carolina said.
This sounded nice.
This was completely from the perspective of Chloe’s grandmother. If it was someone else’s grandma saying this,
she might believe it. But Carolina, absolutely not.
“5 billion.” Chloe’s eyes were full of smiles, simply saying this number made everyone there feel the thick irony.
Carolina’s lawyer was sitting there, his face had turned extremely ugly.
5 billion… This old lady, really knew how to kick someone when they were down!
But today, the lawyer was standing with Carolina. No matter what, he had to bite the bullet. He said, “As Ms.
Carolina just mentioned, Ms. Chloe, as the only heir of the Summers family and with extraordinary abilities, we
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdemand that you pay Carolina, Jonah, and Nick 5 billion. In addition, you need to return the shares that Carolina and
Nick previously held. Can you agree to this?”
Chloe blinked and laughed, “I refuse.”
Carolina instantly frowned. The lawyer then said, “Ms. Chloe, please think it through. If you refuse, you will violate
several legal provisions and need to face legal sanctions.”
Chloe nodded, “Of course I understand.”
Seeing her calm demeanor, the lawyer sighed. He turned to the judge and said, “That’s all the plaintiff asks for. If
Ms. Chloe can’t do it, we’ll have to resolve this matter according to the law.”
The judge furrowed his brow; there was no advantage for Chloe facing the legal provisions. He turned to Chloé and
asked, “Ms. Chloe, if you think the money is unreasonable, or if you have a better plan, you can also propose it.”
After all, everyone had a duty to take care of the elderly. No matter the reason, refusing to care for the elders,
Chloe would be the one who was in the wrong in the end.
Chloe smiled and slowly stood up from the defendant’s seat. She looked at Carolina with a big grin and said loudly
to her, “Me, Chloe, will not take care of Carolina. Because she isn’t worth it.”
Each word was crystal clear, echoing through the entire courtroom. Carolina’s face was beyond what they would
call ugly at this point.
And this caused quite a stir among the spectators in the gallery. The onlookers were blown away by Chloe’s
straight–up refusal to care for Carolina in court.
