CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120: REVENGE ACHIEVED—HE’S NEVER BEEN SO HUMILIATED IN HIS LIFE!

"Aren’t you about to sign a contract with her? She’s probably sending you something so you’ll serve her company well in the future." Elias Spencer had his hands behind his back, having to help his mother find an excuse.

"Is that so?" she looked at him and asked.

"Or maybe, she simply likes you." His lips curved slightly, looks like he cleared his mom’s suspicion, didn’t he?

Summer Nolan was quite surprised; she didn’t expect Mrs. Spencer to be someone who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Next time they meet, it seems she should also bring a gift.

-

Raymond Dawson intentionally waited until the morning of the court case to tell Sean Sterling about Elias Spencer’s disappearance. The man instantly panicked.

He called Elias Spencer a dozen times, but the phone was always off.

Both angry and anxious, he could only have Raymond Dawson cover for him—

Elias Spencer intentionally turned off his phone. They had just returned to the city that morning and didn’t go to the law firm; instead, they went home first.

Outside the court, a lot of media reporters had gathered. When Raymond Dawson and Sean Sterling came out, their faces were dark enough to nearly touch the ground!

All the reporters surrounded them and asked, "Chairman Sterling, did you win or lose the lawsuit?"

"Chairman Sterling, did you really plagiarize the competing group’s design?"

"Chairman Sterling, could you say something?"

At this moment, the general manager and lawyer of the competing group came out, deliberately speaking to Sean Sterling in front of the reporters:

"Chairman Sterling, please apologize to our group publicly in the media as soon as possible. Oh, and the compensation of eight hundred million should be transferred soon as well.

Honestly, Chairman Sterling, your sordid acts of bribing our core employees, placing spies in our group, and plagiarizing our designs, the eight hundred million in compensation is indeed too lenient."

"Chairman Sterling, your group is ranked in the top ten domestically, for you to do such despicable things, it’s truly eye-opening for me!"

"Please use proper channels for business competition in the future. Such despicable and shameless behavior will affect your image, Chairman Sterling."

Sean Sterling clenched his fist tightly. These reporters were live streaming; his face grew even darker and more unsightly, suppressing the urge to punch them.

He attempted to salvage his image by saying in a deep voice:

"We have never bribed your group’s employees, never placed spies in your group, and never plagiarized your designs. I will appeal again."

Standing aside, Raymond Dawson watched the scene, not daring to breathe too loudly. He quietly stepped back, not wanting to be captured by the reporters and affect his image.

He thought it was just a simple case loss, never expecting the other party to pin so many charges on them!

"Whether Chairman Sterling did those things, he knows it in his heart. But before you appeal, don’t forget to apologize publicly to us in the media, and transfer the compensation soon."

The opposing general manager said with a smile and left with the legal team.

All the reporters looked at Sean Sterling in shock. In the country, he had always presented the image of a loving husband, dedicated, courteous, and well mannered gentleman.

He even had the title of ’National Father’.

Now, his actions were drastically contrary to his image.

"Chairman Sterling, did you really do those things?"

"Chairman Sterling, when are you planning to apologize publicly?"

Sean Sterling, filled with impatience, turned and glared angrily at the bodyguard, who immediately moved to push the reporters away—

At Elias Spencer’s home.

Summer Nolan sat on the sofa, stroking Elias’s dog’s head while watching the live broadcast of Sean Sterling’s court case, with a slight smirk at the corner of her mouth—

She was also a bit surprised; the opposing group was indeed strong, seizing this opportunity to pin so many charges, giving Sean Sterling a hard blow on the head!

The higher the image he had crafted for himself, the harder the fall he would face; he truly deserved it.

"I’m guessing Sean Sterling has never been so humiliated in his life." Elias Spencer, standing beside her with a water cup, couldn’t help but remark.

Summer Nolan turned her head to glance at him, grateful that he hadn’t helped Sean Sterling with the lawsuit this time, sighing with relief.

"The good-guy image of Sean Sterling is all for show. He’s despicable, vile, ruthless, and merciless in the business world. Who knows how many companies he has destroyed, how many families he has torn apart, leaving people destitute?

Hmph, this punishment is still too lenient for him."

"You seem to have deep-seated animosity towards him?" Elias Spencer asked, seeing the hatred in her eyes.

"...He even ordered a gang to assault me and wanted to record it. Should I like him?" she used this excuse to say.

Elias Spencer didn’t doubt her further and quipped, "Do you still want to marry Ian Sterling?"

"That’s none of your business." She looked at him and said.

"Stay away from him in the future. Be careful his father doesn’t send someone after you, understand?" he warned, sitting beside her.

Summer Nolan glanced at him again, said nothing. It was impossible to stay away from Ian Sterling now; she hadn’t dealt with that old bastard yet.

"I’m heading back." As she stood up, she was suddenly pushed back onto the seat by him, "Don’t go running around today. If you’re seen by acquaintances, how will you explain?"

"If they ask where we were, just say... we offended someone on the boat and were kidnapped! That way, Sean Sterling won’t trouble you."

Summer Nolan didn’t want him to be retaliated against by the Sterling family because of her. This time, that old bastard lost a lot of face, and the group’s image and finances were severely damaged.

He might really go mad and find someone to vent on.

"You be careful these days. Even if he wants to vent, he won’t dare come after me." He took a sip of water and said.

Sean Sterling knows his background and surely wouldn’t dare to offend him.

"Are you so good-looking that he wouldn’t dare come after you?" Summer Nolan, with her elbow resting on the sofa back, turned to him, pouting to ask.

Her forehead was suddenly poked by him, and Elias Spencer didn’t explain further.

She slapped his hand and asked earnestly, "If Sean Sterling asks you to file an appeal for him, would you take the case?"

Elias Spencer glanced at her, elegantly crossed his legs, leaned back on the sofa, and said deliberately, "If he offers a high agency fee, why wouldn’t I take it?"

Upon hearing his words, Summer Nolan immediately frowned, grabbing his arm and pouting,

"Can you not take it for the sake of... us being exes?"

"Just an ex, is that enough clout?" Elias Spencer raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Then for the sake of us having slept together? Hmph, you took advantage of me so many times, and I never held it against you. Now I have just this one request." Summer Nolan told him.

"If you ask me to get back together, I might consider..."

To actually have to beg for reconciliation? She laughed, pouted, and snorted, "Then go ahead and take his case!"

Elias Spencer frowned... He even gave her a way out, and she didn’t take it?

-

The next morning.

Today, Summit’s stock plummeted, suffering significant losses.

All media outlets are reporting that Summit lost the lawsuit and employed disgraceful tactics in business competition.

A crowd of reporters gathered downstairs at the building, hoping to interview Sean Sterling, but were stopped by security outside.

It was the first time Sean Sterling lost control of his emotions, sweeping everything off his desk with one hand, exuding a menacing aura, like an enraged lion.

"Bang!!!" Suddenly, he picked up a document and threw it at Raymond Dawson.
