CHAPTER 111: CHAPTER 111: DISLIKE PEOPLE WHO SNITCH BEHIND OTHERS’ BACKS

Elias Spencer looked at them, his brows slightly furrowed—

He knew their meeting would end up like this!

Mrs. Spencer was shocked by Summer Nolan’s boldness, feeling uncomfortable, yet inexplicably found herself somewhat admiring her.

If she had really humbled herself to please, on the contrary, she would look down on her.

"Then, Mrs. Spencer and Attorney Spencer, have your talk, I won’t disturb you." Just as Summer Nolan was about to leave, Mrs. Spencer immediately stopped her:

"You sit down, we can try to get along as friends."

Elias Spencer looked at his mom, astonishment flashing across his handsome face—his mom was actually the first to compromise?

Seeing she had said so, Summer Nolan took a seat to give her some face. Mrs. Spencer personally picked up the wine bottle and added some for both of them, clinking glasses with her:

"Finish this drink, and let’s pretend the earlier unpleasantness never happened."

Seeing her down it in one go, Summer Nolan also picked up her glass without saying more, draining it in one gulp. The high-proof alcohol burned from her throat to her stomach, warming her whole body.

It was quite intoxicating.

Mrs. Spencer poured another generous glass for both of them, asking in a friendly tone, "Does Attorney Nolan have any family?"

"A mother and a sister," she replied.

"Your father has passed away? How did he die?" Mrs. Spencer wanted to know more about her.

Summer Nolan glanced at her, reluctant to share her private matters, but since she asked as a friend, she could only lie,

"...A car accident."

"Then life must have been tough for you three." It seemed her family background was quite ordinary, and Mrs. Spencer drank with her again.

"Not everyone is as fortunate as Mrs. Spencer." Summer Nolan chuckled.

Mrs. Spencer poured another generous glass for the two, clinking glasses, "Come, drink a few more with me."

Summer Nolan raised her eyebrows; did she really like drinking so much?

Since this client was a woman, and with Elias Spencer sitting here, she let her guard down and drank another glass with her.

After the drink, Mrs. Spencer couldn’t hold it anymore; the alcohol was too strong. Looking at the girl again, she seemed unaffected!

Unexpectedly, her drinking capacity was so good. She stood and said, "I need to visit the restroom."

After leaving, she sent her son a message: [Son, get her drunk...]

Elias Spencer saw his mom’s message and frowned—what did she need to get the woman drunk for?

In the restroom.

Mrs. Spencer was about to wash her hands to sober up, when a young girl in a white strapless dress with exquisite makeup walked in and suddenly said:

"Hello, Mrs. Spencer. There’s something I don’t know if I should tell you..."

"Who are you? What do you have to tell me?" She glanced at the unfamiliar girl, asking coldly.

"I’m Iris Lynn, Assistant to Attorney Spencer. I know everything about Attorney Spencer and Attorney Nolan..." She had seen Attorney Spencer and his mother by accident a long time ago.

Just now, at the party, she overheard their conversation. She knew Mrs. Spencer was still in an inspection phase with that Summer Nolan.

She couldn’t let Mrs. Spencer approve of her!

"Oh? So what do you want to tell me?"

Mrs. Spencer gave her a cold once-over, not liking people who tattled behind others’ backs, but she was curious about what she had to say.

"Attorney Nolan is two-timing. She’s not only seducing Attorney Spencer, but also dating Ian Sterling from The Summit Group. Everyone in the firm knows.

If Mrs. Spencer doesn’t believe it, you can investigate.

Mr. Sterling is here to travel with Attorney Nolan this time." Iris Lynn told her.

Currently, everyone in the firm indeed believed Summer Nolan and Ian Sterling were together.

Mrs. Spencer was somewhat surprised. Ian Sterling, whom she had met at a party before, was an outstanding young man of good character. If he was dating Summer Nolan, what was the position of her own son?

"Does Elias not know about this?" Her tone grew noticeably colder.

"Attorney Spencer knows, but whatever means Attorney Nolan used, she has him entranced. He seems completely unconcerned about being... the other man..."

I didn’t intend to tell you all this, but I feared it would affect Attorney Spencer’s reputation if the matter was exposed."

Iris Lynn intentionally said it harshly, to provoke Mrs. Spencer.

Humph, first use Mrs. Spencer to break them up, then tell Director Dawson about Summer Nolan’s and Attorney Spencer’s affair so the whole firm knows she’s not only seducing Mr. Sterling but is also involved with Attorney Spencer!

Ha, let’s see if she has the face to stay at the firm then?

"..." Mrs. Spencer, upon hearing her son was willing to be the other man, looked even more displeased, eyeing the assistant sharply and asking:

"Is everything you said true?"

"Mrs. Spencer can ask Attorney Spencer directly or have someone inquire at the firm." Iris Lynn respectfully said.

"By the way, Mrs. Spencer, could you not tell Attorney Spencer it was me who told you? If he finds out, he’ll definitely fire me immediately!" She pleaded pitifully.

Mrs. Spencer gave her a long look, ignored it, and walked out of the restroom, directly calling her son—telling him to come to room 402.

On the deck.

Elias Spencer didn’t force Summer Nolan to drink; instead, the alcohol hit her and she insisted on drinking more herself, even though he tried to stop her.

His phone suddenly rang; he took it out, glanced at it, and answered, "Hey, what’s up?"

"Come to room 402, I have something to ask you." Mrs. Spencer sat on the room’s sofa, calling him in a calm manner.

His mother’s tone was very cold. Elias Spencer wasn’t sure what had happened, seriously instructing the woman beside him,

"Sit here for a bit; I’m going to the restroom. No more drinking, and don’t talk to strangers, remember?"

The influence of the boat made her get tipsier more easily; after just a few drinks, Summer Nolan was already dizzy. She propped her chin with one hand, looking at him, replying,

"Got it, you go on."

Elias Spencer got up and left.

Upon arriving at room 402 and pushing the door open, he noticed his mother sitting seriously in the middle of the sofa. He went to sit beside her, directly asking, "What’s up?"

He wasn’t comfortable leaving the woman alone on the deck; she was already drunk.

"What’s the relationship between Summer Nolan and Ian Sterling?"

Mrs. Spencer asked her son angrily. Her son was 27, and this was the first time he liked a girl. Although she had high requirements for her future daughter-in-law, she was willing to consider accepting her.

Yet she didn’t expect Summer Nolan to be like this!

"..." Elias Spencer was somewhat taken aback, his expression immediately darkening. Who had told his mom about Summer Nolan and Ian Sterling?

Mrs. Spencer, seeing her son’s reaction, knew the assistant wasn’t lying, angrily asking again, "Is she dating that Ian Sterling?"

"No, they’re just friends. Who told you these things?" Elias Spencer lit a cigarette, asking his mother in a deep voice.

Mrs. Spencer wanted the assistant as her informant and didn’t reveal her, counter-questioning, "Friends? Would that man join you on a firm outing as friends?"
