"Ms. Carolina, you're well aware of the conflicts between Ms.Wendy and Ms. Summers. Ms. Wendyeven tried to screw Ms.Summers over. And you're still siding with her? Isn't that a bit much to askMs. 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 thistime."
"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 aslim-fit down jacket and hands in pockets, surrounded by bodyguards, nonchalantly making her wayover.
Seeing her composed demeanor, Carolina's face instantly grew colder. She huffed, her facedarkening, "Are you implying I'm greedy? Chloe, my dear granddaughter, as a businesswoman, youshould know to respect the people who give you money.’b2 Chloe gave a cold chuckle, but therewas no warmth in her smile.
"Oh, really?" Chloe cut her off, the sarcastic smile on her face becoming more apparent, "So if I giveyou money, does that mean you will respect me?"
"Ha!" Chloe's words made the crowd burst into laughter.
"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 evencall them granny."
It was pretty nasty to make such sarcastic remarks about an elderly person. But when someonebehaved too shamelessly, and even if they were unwilling to accept the criticisms and ridicules, theyhad 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, shedidn't have any advantage over Chloe in other aspects either. Every time, she was left fuming byChloe. Wendy, on the side, wished she could kill Chloe with her glare, "Chloe, she's yourgrandmother 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 Ibe?"
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 Ithink I'm accumulating good karma."
She had no intention of engaging in a lengthy discussion with them. After she had spoken, sheprepared to leave. The reporters immediately swarmed her, "Ms. Summers, what are your thoughtson 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 Chloeanymore, they immediately turned their attention to Carolina and Wendy, "Ms. Carolina, can youguess 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 alsostarted 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 gapsto 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 shewin 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 Chloe's bluff, but in reality, she had been affected. Thesame was true for Wendy. From the moment Chloe appeared here in her calm demeanor, she feltuneasy. 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 thehat. 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 possiblywin this lawsuit?
The reporters were also filled with curiosity, eager to see how Chloe would turn the tables at theend.
"Ms. Carolina, if you do win this lawsuit, will there be any changes to the 2 billion you previouslyasked from Ms. Summers?" The reporters asked.
Carolina snorted, her words full of stubbornness, "She's unrepentant. Since I can't change her, thenshe 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 amiddle-aged man leading an elderly man dressed modestly, slowly making his way towards thecourthouse 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 alreadyescalated 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.
