CHAPTER 169: CHAPTER 169: SHOCKED—WASN’T SHE TAKEN TO A HOTEL BY THAT MAN?

"I saw it by accident on my way back. I don’t know what kind of relationship Attorney Nolan has with that strange man, and I don’t know why she let that man hold her, but I know, Attorney Spencer, you like her, so I secretly took a photo and had a stranger send it to you.

I just don’t want you to be deceived, Attorney Spencer..."

Iris Lynn lowered her head, carefully explaining to him. After speaking, she looked up at his expression, noticing his face remained deeply serious.

I wonder if he suspects me?

Outside the door, Summer Nolan’s assistant unexpectedly overheard Iris Lynn’s words as they passed by... That manipulative woman is slandering Attorney Nolan again!

She pretends to do good for everyone, but isn’t she just defaming Attorney Nolan?

"Then why didn’t you send it to me yourself, and instead have a stranger send it?" Elias Spencer asked coldly.

"I just feared you’d accuse me of meddling in other people’s business, Attorney Spencer. I should have pretended I didn’t see anything, but I didn’t want you to be kept in the dark.

At that time, Attorney Nolan was being embraced into a car by that man." Iris Lynn intentionally told him.

"Do you know where they went?" Elias Spencer frowned and asked, becoming more worried about that woman. Was she possibly being manipulated by that strange man?

She has always been proud and has strong self-esteem, she wouldn’t engage in intimate acts with men so casually.

"I don’t know, could it be... she was taken by that man to a hotel room? I saw Attorney Nolan’s face was red, as if something wasn’t quite right." Iris Lynn shifted the blame onto that man.

Elias Spencer glared at her angrily: "Why didn’t you tell me sooner?!!"

"I-I was afraid... previously, Attorney Nolan had strong objections towards me, I didn’t dare meddle in her affairs again, besides, as soon as I took the photo, I had someone send it to you immediately, it’s just that you didn’t see it in time..."

Iris Lynn looked at him with grievance and quickly lowered her eyes, appearing very innocent, without a trace of pretense.

"Get out." Elias Spencer coldly dismissed her.

Iris Lynn quietly walked out. As she turned around, the corners of her mouth slightly curved up. By this time, Summer Nolan must already be in a hotel bed with that man!

Even if Attorney Spencer finds her, she would have already lost her reputation!

Elias Spencer immediately dialed Summer Nolan’s number again. It rang for a long time, still no one answered; Summer Nolan forgot to take her phone when she left.

He immediately stood up and left the law firm, planning to personally search various hotels with his bodyguards...

Over twenty minutes later, Summer Nolan arrived at the law firm.

Iris Lynn, in a pretty good mood, poured a cup of coffee and casually strolled through the large office corridor with her arms crossed.

Suddenly a voice came from behind: "Out of my way."

She couldn’t figure out whose voice it was, but the words were so unpleasant. After all, she’s Elias Spencer’s chief assistant!

Adding to the fact that he spoils her so much, he even choked Summer Nolan in public for her; no one in the law firm would dare disrespect her now!

Yet here someone was daring to speak to her this way?

Without even turning around to see who it was, she snapped back angrily: "You must be itching to get fired, daring to speak to me like this?"

As she spoke, she turned around angrily, only to be startled with widened eyes when she saw Summer Nolan standing right in front of her!

How is she here?

Wasn’t she taken to a hotel by that man?

Since it was in the corridor, many colleagues around heard Iris Lynn’s arrogant words. It would’ve been nothing if she was arrogant towards them, but Attorney Nolan is the boss here!

This woman’s arrogance is really excessive.

Summer Nolan chuckled and asked, "Tell me, how do you want me to pack up and leave, hmm?"

Iris Lynn calmed her emotions. If she bullied me again publicly, maybe once Attorney Spencer was back, he would feel she bullied me again and teach her a lesson!

The corners of her mouth faintly curled, showing weakness to her, "I’m sorry, Attorney Nolan, I didn’t know it was you, but you shouldn’t have insulted me first. I was just defending myself."

"Smack!!!" Summer Nolan instantly saw through her little schemes and, damn it, really couldn’t stand this woman anymore. Screw it, she slapped her first, feeling satisfied!

"Ugh..." Iris Lynn’s upper body tilted to the side, half of her face instantly swelling red with dizziness from the slap, which wasn’t gentle.

Her toady colleague, seeing her friend being hit, quickly called Attorney Spencer on the phone. It rang a few times before connecting, and she reported in a small voice:

"Attorney Spencer, it’s bad, Attorney Nolan is hitting Assistant Lynn in the law firm, you should come back and see."

Elias Spencer was still outside looking for her, but upon hearing that she was at the firm, his heart eased a bit, asking in a deep voice, "Why is she hitting Iris Lynn again?"

"Attorney Nolan started by insulting Assistant Lynn upon arriving at the firm, then slapped her. I didn’t see Assistant Lynn disrespect her; maybe Attorney Nolan just dislikes her? Assistant Lynn is really pitiful."

She saw Iris Lynn clashing with Summer Nolan, leading to being hit but deliberately didn’t tell Attorney Spencer.

Elias Spencer’s eyes deepened. Summer Nolan hit her just because she disliked her? Didn’t they meet days ago as well? Why didn’t she hit her then?

He didn’t believe Summer Nolan would hit her without reason.

Saying nothing, he hung up the phone and rushed back to the firm.

After being slapped, Iris Lynn clutched her face, biting her jaw tightly, enduring her anger. Oh, just wait, when Attorney Spencer returns, let’s see how he’ll deal with her!

"Kneel down and apologize to me." Summer Nolan, arms crossed, demanded.

"Attorney Nolan, you’ve already hit me, and now you want me to kneel and apologize? Don’t go too far."

She snickered unapologetically. So what if she provoked her? The harsher her punishment now, the angrier Attorney Spencer would be later.

"Judging by your arrogant attitude, are you trying to provoke me deliberately, so that your renowned attorney will come to trouble me? You young assistant, you have quite the mind games.

How many times have you played this trick? Can’t you think of a new one?" Summer Nolan deliberately said loudly, heard by all the surrounding employees, who started gossiping quietly.

"I-I didn’t, Attorney Nolan, don’t falsely accuse me!" Iris Lynn glanced at the surrounding colleagues, immediately retorting.

"Didn’t? Then look around in this firm, which employee dares to speak to their superior like this? Which employee dares to tell the boss to pack up and leave?

You still say this isn’t deliberate provocation?

I just asked you to kneel and apologize, is that excessive?" Summer Nolan asked loudly again.

All the firm employees heard clearly they truly dared not take such an attitude towards their boss; that Iris Lynn was intentionally provoking Attorney Nolan.

She actually wanted to use Attorney Spencer to drive Attorney Nolan away?

This woman’s manipulative mind is too much! How dare she have such nerve?

"Attorney Nolan, I really didn’t think that way, you wronged me. If kneeling down will make you feel better, I’ll kneel down for you!"

Iris Lynn cried as she suddenly knelt before her, looking very wronged.

Originally wanting to ruin her reputation, making everyone think she is unreasonable and violent, instead, with a few words, she destroyed her own reputation.

How can she stay in this firm in the future?
