CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: THE OLD MAN WAS PLAYED RIGHT INTO HER HANDS!

"..." Elias Spencer’s cold, handsome face suddenly broke into a smile, as if he couldn’t believe any man would genuinely like her.

At most, those men just wanted to sleep with her.

Summer Nolan looked at the smile on his face, gritting her teeth, wanting so badly to bite him to death. She had to find a man to infuriate this ex!

Because no man liked her, he was eager to see her make a fool of herself, wasn’t he?

She remembered tonight clearly. He teased her, made her embarrassed, just wait and see how she’d make him embarrassed in the future!!!

The next morning.

Summer, who had slept all night leaning on the conference table, was finally woken up by the growling of her stomach several times.

As soon as she woke up, she saw that his suit jacket was draped over her back!

When she fell asleep last night, it definitely wasn’t there—

Who needed his fake goodwill? She pulled off the man’s jacket and tossed it toward the man sleeping across the table.

The jacket landed perfectly on his head.

Elias Spencer was awakened by the commotion, took off the jacket, glanced at the ungrateful person opposite him, rubbed his temples, and didn’t argue with her.

Sleeping leaning here last night was really uncomfortable.

If it weren’t for coming to find her, why would he suffer this?

"Call Mr. Forest quickly and have him send someone over. I’m hungry." Summer ordered him in a deep voice; she hadn’t had dinner last night, and now she was starving.

"Call him yourself." Elias Spencer was displeased with her tone.

She frowned, stood up, walked over to him, and felt around his pants pockets, finding his phone in the right one...

Elias Spencer looked at the woman who shamelessly reached into his pocket; only she dared to be so arrogant, so brazen in front of him.

Summer not-so-gently pressed him back into the chair, successfully pulling out his phone, pressed a few buttons, then tossed it back in front of him with a smile:

"Now, your phone’s dead too."

"Aren’t there so many landlines outside?" He picked up the frameless glasses beside him, elegantly put them on, still with a calm expression.

"Do you know Mr. Forest’s phone number?" She raised an eyebrow and asked.

Elias Spencer didn’t answer; he really hadn’t memorized it. Why remember the numbers of irrelevant people?

Seeing his expression, she knew he didn’t know. Were they really going to be trapped here for two days?

She’d starve to death.

"Grr—" Her stomach growled again, she swallowed unconsciously, glanced at the man staring at her stomach, embarrassed.

Elias Spencer got up and went out, picked up a landline from a random workstation, dialed his assistant’s number, and asked her to call Mr. Forest to send a repairman to open the door.

Summer stood at the door with her arms crossed, raising her eyebrows, was she so starving she was confused?

How come she didn’t think of calling someone she knew?

It was past ten in the morning when Mr. Forest finally arrived with people to fix the access machine. He kept apologizing to them, and Summer didn’t make it difficult for him.

Iris Lynn, holding a sandwich she bought on the way, handed it to Elias Spencer, saying thoughtfully: "Attorney Spencer, you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? I bought this on the way, please have some."

"You’re quite thoughtful." Elias Spencer praised her. Iris Lynn smiled playfully, blushing slightly, feeling happy to be praised again.

In the next moment, he handed the food bag to the woman on the other side, "Take it and eat."

Summer Nolan watched him accept the assistant’s offering so naturally and even praise her, silently sneering—

She smiled, waved away the offered item, indifferent, "Attorney Spencer, eat it yourself. After all, it’s something your beloved assistant bought for you."

After saying that, she left. So what if someone admired him?

She couldn’t care less about him.

Iris Lynn looked puzzled as the attorney left, wondering if she had misjudged. Why did her words seem a bit sour?

It was like she was jealous.

But she and Attorney Spencer were mortal enemies. She even snatched two cases from him and was Director Dawson’s confidant. Attorney Spencer also snatched a lawsuit from her.

She must have been mistaken!

At noon, in a high-end Chinese restaurant.

Summer Nolan was invited here by Director Dawson. What was this old fox planning to say this time?

"Attorney Nolan, have some food, don’t be shy. Honestly, every time I see you, I both admire you and envy your parents. Attorney Nolan, you’re truly outstanding."

Morgan Dawson smiled warmly, like a kind old father.

Summer Nolan listened to his pleasantries, smiled faintly, ate the food on her own, without flattering or pleasing him.

Seeing her disregard for him, Raymond Dawson’s smile became a bit stiff, and he asked, "What do Attorney Nolan’s parents do?"

"My mother stays at home, and my father passed away early due to illness." She lied and immediately changed the subject,

"Director Dawson, just say what you wanted to discuss by inviting me out for lunch."

"Attorney Nolan, in a few days, the case that Attorney Spencer snatched from you will go to court. Do you really want him to win?" He didn’t beat around the bush.

"What do you mean, Director Dawson?" Summer asked deliberately.

"You should extract his evidence and prevent him from winning the lawsuit by any means. If we work together to force Attorney Spencer out of the firm, I can give you another forty percent of the shares."

He had thought it through before attempting to drive Elias Spencer out of the firm; he first needed to ruin his reputation so that even if he left, he couldn’t make a comeback.

Summer picked up a wine glass, took a casual sip, and slowly replied with two words, "Alright."

"Today is a good opportunity. After lunch, I’ll ask him out." She added.

"That couldn’t be better. I admire Attorney Nolan’s decisive character!" Raymond Dawson said with a smile.

Behind their table.

A man was eavesdropping on their conversation, his face full of shock!

No matter what, Summer was still old Spencer’s ex-girlfriend, how could she be so bad, so ruthless?

She really planned to partner with that old fox to frame Elias Spencer! How excessive...

Because of the tall sofa back, Summer hadn’t noticed an acquaintance right behind her. After she and the old fox left the restaurant.

Julian Rivers immediately went to his buddy’s apartment.

Once inside, he urgently said, "You should be careful of your ex-girlfriend. Don’t get too close to her, or maybe you should have her leave the firm!"

Elias Spencer was crouched in the living room, holding a pet brush, brushing a disloyal dog’s fur. He raised his calm eyes to glance at his buddy,

"What happened?"

Julian Rivers saw him brushing the dog so calmly and grew anxious, crouching down beside him, speaking in a serious voice:

"Today at noon, she and Raymond Dawson were having lunch in a restaurant. I happened to be there too and overheard them conspiring to get you out of the firm. That old fox even promised her forty percent of the shares.

She didn’t hesitate for a second to agree!

Oh, and she’s coming to steal the evidence from your case with Mr. Lewis. I see, they want you to lose the case first, ruin your reputation, and then drive you out."

His impression of Summer Nolan plummeted. He didn’t expect her to be so wicked, so scheming, and so ruthless!
