Her response sent the courtroom into a frenzy after a few seconds of silence. She actually admittedit. So how were they supposed to continue this case?
Carolina was very satisfied with Chloe's answer. She said with a smile, "You're smart. You knowdenying facts in court is just a waste of time."
"Though everything has a cause and effect, you only mentioned part of the truth, choosing only thebits that favor you. I admit that all you've said has happened. Is there anything else you want toaccuse me of? This is a great opportunity, so spill it all out. Let me know how much I've wrongedyou over the years." Chloe said.
The judge seated and gave a little cough. Someone immediately said solemnly, "Ms. Summers, youneed to be careful with your words in court. Stick to the facts. Be fair and impartial. If it's not true,don't admit it. Otherwise it's hard for us to make a fair judgment."b2 Chloe nodded, "Got it."
Apparently, someone had already warned them about dealing with Ms. Summers. Weirdly though,they didn't instruct them to take extra care of the defendant, but only to not restrain Chloe too muchin court, regarding her posture, attitude, words, etc., to let her be herself.
As for the verdict, any clearly punitive decisions like imprisonment or detention were strictly notallowed.
Generally, if she lost a case, she just fulfilled the legal obligations.
Sending someone to jail over money, that was the worst case scenario. More so when it was aboutMs. Summers, the most legitimate princess of Y Country.
The instructions were more harm than good. What a weird instruction it was! To adapt to herpersonality and preferences in attitude and words? Was this court here for her amusement?
Right. That was exactly what Damon meant. Since Chloe wanted to play, he provided her anenvironment with no worries. Although it seemed a bit disrespectful to the court, he knew Chloe hadher boundaries. She knew what to do and what not to. She wouldn't do anything too outrageous incourt.
Though it seemed a bit biased, the judge's serious expression and tone when speaking didn't give itaway. After all, no lies of any kind were allowed in court.
Chloe's attitude darkened Carolina's face even more. She said, "Based on your answers, pleaseallow me to say a few more words. Shouldn't you compensate me for the Summers family'smansion you ruined? It wasn't me who willingly gave up the shares in Pulse Entertainment you own.Shouldn't you return them to me?
Your father is now penniless with all the Summers family's assets under your control. Shouldn't youreturn his share to him? He's your father; isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to take over his assets?
And Keira, she grew up in the Summers family,. Your father and me took good care of her.Regardless if she's truly a Summers by blood, she's a part of the family. These many years, she'sbeen by my side. I understand that you didn't visit her, but you're her sister, you should help her inher predicament."
"Ha!" Chloe suddenly scoffed. Spending time with shameless people seemed to be dragging hermoral standards down. "What do you mean? In your eyes, I not only have to provide for you butalso Keira? She calls me sister, so I gave her my grandparents and father, and my boyfriend too.That's still not enough, and I still need to provide for her for the rest of her life? Shouldn't the rest ofher life be in jail? How do you expect me to help? Ms. Carolina, I haven't even agreed to provide foryou, yet you still have the nerve to ask for my help for your granddaughter, what do I owe her?"
She glanced at Carolina, smiling coldly and sarcastically. "Now that you mention it. I remember, howlong has she been in the hospital?" While saying this, she laughed, supporting her cheek andlooking towards the audience.
She said, “Darling, can you make a call to the hospital for me, and check what disease my dearsister has contracted that she's still not discharged? Even if she has cancer, and is on the brink ofdeath, she should die in jail, right?" Her smile was plain and nonchalant, but her words reeked ofanger.
The spectators were also upset by Carolina's unreasonable demands. What kind of person wasthis? Failing to demand money, she sued her own granddaughter. Now not only did she demandChloe to provide for her, but also return the Summers family's assets.
Not only money, she wanted Nick's assets too. She was still not satisfied. She wanted Chloe toprovide for her hospitalized sister.
And this sister was the cruelest person to Chloe back then.
Who gave her the audacity to make such shameless demands? If her demands were met, it wouldbe a travesty of justice.
This darling made Damon's mood lighten. Nate was about to get up and deal with this, but Damonalready had his phone out. He glanced at the judge on the stage, and after getting the judge'spermission, he dialed the hospital directly. He spoke bluntly, "This is Damon. The patient namedKeira, I don’t care about her state now. Send her where she should be immediately."
The response on the other end seemed immediate, and Damon calmly put away his phone. Helooked at Chloe. Although Damon looked calm, Nate, standing next to him, felt a bit awkward.
Damon always kept a poker face in public, but having been with Damon for a while, Nate knew hima bit. This was clearly Damon's "mission accomplished, expecting praise" face. Seriously, just a bitof praise from Chloe, and this Mr. Harper of theirs would instantly perk up!
