Chapter 1538

"Having such a family member, it's easier to just throw her some dough and get her to shut up,right? Why go to such extreme lengths and keep her bugging us?"

"Exactly, dealing with people like her is such a pain in the ass. Just give her some cash and sendher away."

"We knew we weren't going to win this lawsuit even before the trial started. Why are we still hangingin there? Is she really looking to get herself locked up?"

“Absolutely, this kind of stuff getting out can totally backfire."b2 Down below, Yulia and Rose whohad been waiting for a while now were completely clueless about what was going on. They felt onedge and anxious.

"What the hell is Chloe up to? She dares to talk like that in court! Is she really itching for a taste ofprison life?" Rose asked.

Yulia comforted Rose, "Damon won't let her go to jail."

Rose glanced at the expressionless man sitting in the front row and felt somewhat relieved.

"I totally forgot about him." Rose said. Her voice revealed a hint of relief, but she quickly becamedisgruntled, "Just because she has aman to shield her, she thinks she can do whatever she wants?

She's way too reliant on men. She should know that men aren't always reliable."

Chloe's words left even the judge feeling helpless. Was she blatantly breaking the law in court? Allthese people were watching. What the hell were the judges supposed to do if she talked like this?

Carolina stared coldly at Chloe's smiling face, her heart pounding so fast she could barely breathe."So, you'd rather break the law and go to jail than give me the money? It's just five billion; it'speanuts to you given your current net worth. Are you really more ruthless than me, preferring jail togiving me money?"

Chloe gave a faint smile, "I need both money and life. Naturally, I can't compete with you who wouldgive up dignity for money."

Carolina stared at Chloe for a long time, her heart gradually enveloped by unease and fear. Shehad seen this state of Chloe many times now. She wouldn't be this calm and collected if she wasn'tabsolutely confident. "What are you planning?" Carolina asked.

Chloe casually brushed her hair aside, saying, "You're the plaintiff and I'm the defendant. Youdragged me into court, so what can I do?"

Carolina wanted to retort, to say that in the past it was always her who was aggressive, and in theend, she was always controlled by Chloe, making everyone look at her like she was a fool.

But how could she possibly say these words?

Admit that she was once aggressive towards Chloe, or that she was outplayed by Chloe? Carolinawouldn't admit to either.

She asked, "So, are you refusing my request because you really want to go to jail?"

"What are you talking about, Ms. Carolina?" Chloe stood up with a smile, "I have nothing to do withyou. Why should I agree to your request for money? I've said it before, five billion is out of thequestion and two billion is also impossible. You won't get anything from me, not even a singlepenny."

Carolina felt sick every time she heard Chloe say this. She came for the money, but Chloe said shewouldn't give her a cent. This made her feel very uncomfortable.

Wendy had been watching Chloe intently from the start, her gaze barely ever leaving Chloe. Chloe'scalmness and indifference from the beginning to the end filled Wendy with extreme disgust.

This again! Same old attitude. Why did she always look like this?

Why couldn't she see Chloe panicking? And for such an obviously illegal act, why could she remainso unfazed?

Carolina clenched her hands tightly, staring at Chloe with growing unease, "If you think five billion istoo much, I can reduce it."

"Stop it, Ms. Carolina. I told you, I won't give you any money.’ Chloe said.

"Chloe!!" Carolina completely lost it, glaring at Chloe, "Do you think I'm too lenient?!"

Everyone was stunned to see Carolina losing her cool.

"Do you know where you are?! Even if you're dissatisfied with me and you don't want to face me,you're still my granddaughter. I'm your grandmother and this fact can't be changed. You're sure tolose this lawsuit! If you don't want to lose too badly, you'd better wake up.’ Carolina said.

"What unchangeable fact? Carolina, for this lawsuit, since I'm here, it means I won't lose!” AfterChloe finished speaking, the smile on her face had disappeared. She turned to look at the lawyernext to her.

The lawyer nodded, stood up, and handed the file that had been closed since he sat down to thejudge.

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. The courthouse was in chaos and nobody knew whatChloe was up to. Carolina and her lawyer exchanged glances, puzzled by Chloe's words andactions today. Wendy clenched her fists tightly.

The judge looked at Carolina after reading the document handed to him by Chloe's lawyer. Finally,he turned to ask Chloe, "Are you sure the information on this document is true?"

"I'm certain. If you don't believe it, I've brought an expert from the hospital here. Do you need to callher?" Chloe asked.

The judge thought for a moment, then nodded, "Call her."

Then under everyone's anticipation, a woman in a white coat walked onto the witness stand fromthe summons passage. She showed her credentials, "I'm Jane. The director of the City CenterHospital. I guarantee that every word I say next is true."

She was straightforward, even skipping the oath. Even Chloe was surprised when Jane said shewas the director. Having been together for so long, she had no idea this woman was the director ofthe City Center Hospital! And she was so young.

Her appearance silenced everyone in the room. Everyone couldn't help but imagine a possibility.Even Carolina chuckled nervously, her voice full of nasal tones, "What? Are you going to use thesame trick again? We've proven that Keira is not your biological sister, do you want to prove thatyou have no relation to the Summers family in the same way? Don't you feel embarrassed doingthis? If you're not your father's biological daughter, then who the heck is your mother, Yasmine? Asthe daughter-in-law of the Summers family, she went and had a kid with another man? Your valuenow should exceed five billion, right? Just for five billion, you're willing to label your mother as aloose woman and admit that you're an illegitimate child?"
