CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 172: SHE EXPOSED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SUMMER NOLAN AND ELIAS SPENCER IN PUBLIC!

"..." Summer Nolan looked at the approaching Raymond Dawson, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. She had to resolve this matter immediately, leaving no room for that old fox to suspect.

With a steady gaze, she looked at the damn Iris Lynn, smiled calmly, and applauded her three times: "Miss Lynn, your cunning and skills are truly impressive. I really admire you!

Falsely accusing me of having a relationship with Attorney Spencer is your way of getting revenge for us firing you, and at the same time dragging someone down with you, right? You also aim to stir things up between me and Director Dawson, causing internal strife because of you.

You’re really something else."

"What I said is the truth!" Iris Lynn immediately looked at Director Dawson, stepped forward to grab his sleeve, and said gravely:

"Director Dawson, I showed you their photos a while ago, you have to believe me!"

Elias Spencer was stunned by her words; she actually took secret photos of him and Summer Nolan and secretly showed them to Raymond Dawson?!

And all this time, he had trusted her completely...

He was even more furious.

For the first time in his life, Elias Spencer admitted he was blind.

"..." Raymond Dawson was unsure whether to believe her words. He paused for a moment, quickly coming up with a way to get rid of Elias Spencer.

If those photos are real, one of Elias Spencer or Summer Nolan will have to leave the firm.

If the photos are fake, then have Summer Nolan admit she and Elias Spencer are a couple, then he and Summer could team up to kick Elias Spencer out of the firm. Wouldn’t that work?

Either way, he’s the one who wins!

A cunning smile flashed in his eyes, and he coldly said to the two partners,

"I think, for now, let’s not let Iris Lynn resign. Since the firm has instituted a prohibition on office romances as a policy, it can’t just be for show; otherwise, how do we ensure compliance? Everyone, whether employees or bosses, should follow the rules!"

"Thank you, Director Dawson!" Iris Lynn was delighted, not expecting him to lend her a hand.

"Director Dawson can investigate, but I don’t agree to let her stay." Summer Nolan cast a cold glance at the woman’s smug face, itching to slap her a few more times.

"To investigate, we’ll need Assistant Lynn’s cooperation. If the key person leaves, how can we investigate? Attorney Nolan, are you feeling guilty?" Raymond Dawson suspiciously looked at her.

"Fine, then let’s set a deadline of half a month. Regardless of the investigation’s outcome, this woman must be kicked out of the firm." Summer Nolan said coldly, then returned to her office.

Elias Spencer shot a cold glance at Iris Lynn, wishing he could destroy her. How could he still want her as his assistant?

"You won’t be my assistant anymore; go clean the toilets." He said coldly, then turned and headed back to his office. Iris Lynn probably still had the photos on her; they needed to be dealt with quickly.

Iris Lynn frowned, immediately turning to Director Dawson: "Director Dawson, can I be your assistant? I promise to be utterly loyal to you, and I’ll do whatever you ask!"

She definitely didn’t want to clean toilets, as she would be ridiculed to death by her colleagues, whom she had bullied before.

Willing to do anything for him? Raymond Dawson did need a more obedient pawn, "Alright, you can temporarily be my assistant."

"By the way, do you still have the photos from last time?"

"They’re on a USB drive at home. If Director Dawson needs them now, I can go get them immediately." She had to get rid of that damn woman.

If it weren’t for her troubling me today, Attorney Spencer wouldn’t have disliked me.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset... It doesn’t matter. If she could sleep with him and get pregnant with his child, she could definitely make him responsible.

If he dared not to be responsible, she would expose it to the media!

"Then go get it now; I’ll have someone authenticate it." Raymond Dawson was curious as to whether Summer Nolan and Elias Spencer were really a couple, given Iris’s confidence.

If they truly were, wouldn’t he be in danger?!

He should have had someone authenticate it last time.

"Alright, I’ll go now." Iris Lynn agreed, immediately leaving the firm.

Summer Nolan’s office door was ajar, and at that moment, she stood behind it, overhearing the conversation between the two. Feeling tense, she immediately went to her computer to send a QQ message to Elias Spencer:

[The photos are on a USB drive at Iris Lynn’s place. She’s gone to retrieve it. We must get it in our hands.]

[Understood.] Elias Spencer replied, pulling out his phone and calling a bodyguard.

Just after Summer sent him the message, the office door suddenly swung open, and Raymond Dawson walked in. Unfazed, she exited QQ and looked at the older man inquiringly:

"Director Dawson, is there something you need?"

Raymond Dawson, with one hand in his pocket, walked up to her desk, smiling probingly: "Attorney Nolan, you and Attorney Spencer aren’t really a couple, are you?"

"Do you think that’s possible? I’ve never gotten along with him." Summer Nolan leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs, as she let out a light chuckle with her arms folded.

"I did see the photos Iris Lynn took of the two of you, and they don’t look fake." He added.

"Whatever I say now, you probably won’t believe. Let’s just let Iris Lynn bring the photos for examination." She appeared relaxed and natural in her expression, and Raymond Dawson couldn’t detect a hint of panic, nor did she seem to be lying.

"If the photos are fake, would Attorney Nolan then admit to being a couple with Elias Spencer? As long as you admit it, the two of us can partner to kick him out!"

"I’m afraid that’s not possible. Don’t end up not kicking him out, and I get kicked out by the two of you. Director Dawson, you can’t put me in danger just to safeguard your own interests, can you?" Summer Nolan laughed.

"Attorney Nolan, you must trust me. How could I possibly partner with that man?" Raymond Dawson tried his best to persuade her.

"I’m sorry, I’m a selfish person, and I can’t help you with this."

"Don’t forget, I was the one who recruited you, and I gave you your shares. Are you trying to burn bridges now?" He looked at her with a penetrating gaze.

"I’ve helped you with numerous things before; we’ve settled our dues. If Director Dawson wants to kick him out, it’d be best to do it yourself."

Summer Nolan wouldn’t let his sweet words manipulate her into being his pawn. She wanted to stay and seek revenge. His issues, he should resolve himself.

There was no way she’d let herself be used.

Raymond Dawson looked deep into her eyes. She refused to help him. Could it be she really was a couple with Elias Spencer, and they were together in this?

-

An hour or so later.

It was already lunchtime, and the firm’s employees had left for lunch. Iris Lynn hurriedly rushed back.

She knocked and entered Raymond Dawson’s office.

"Where are the photos?" He looked at her and asked.

"The USB drive is missing, and all the USB drives at my place are gone! There were signs of someone having rifled through the place. Hmph, it must have been Summer Nolan and Elias Spencer who sent someone to steal it first." Iris Lynn snorted coldly.

"Are you telling the truth?" Raymond Dawson found it hard to trust anyone right now.

"What do I have to gain by deceiving you?" She retorted.

"Why did Elias Spencer terminate you today? What did you do to provoke him?" He asked, puzzled.
