CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER 6: YOU’D BETTER KEEP YOUR TAIL DOWN IN FRONT OF ME!

Elias Spencer listened to his mother’s barrage of questions and frowned.

"Forget it, just bring her over, let me see her myself!" Mrs. Spencer said excitedly, relieved that her son was normal.

He glanced at the woman he had already broken up with beside him and had no intention of taking her back home, so he perfunctorily said,

"I’m just dating her right now, not marrying her. What’s there to see?"

Summer Nolan heard his words and just gave a faint smile. So, he was just dating her for fun, never intending to marry her?

"Did you just casually find a woman to pretend so you could avoid a blind date?" Mrs. Spencer asked angrily.

"No."

"Then bring her back now."

Elias Spencer hung up the phone and asked her, "Do you want to go?"

"No, we’ve already broken up. There’s no need to make a big deal out of this." Summer Nolan wasn’t interested in meeting his family anymore. She had hoped for it when they were dating.

He never talked about what his parents did or mentioned his family background, and she never asked.

Maybe from the beginning, they both had no confidence in going all the way with each other.

"I’m going back. You can take your time eating."

Elias Spencer got up and left, needing to go and clarify the lie to his mother, lest she overthink and create trouble.

Summer Nolan cut a piece of steak, put it in her mouth, picked up a glass of red wine, and leisurely took a sip, silently reminding herself:

The priority now is to avenge my father—

Everything else is unimportant!

Suddenly, a figure sat down across the dining table from her, and when she looked up, it was that man’s assistant—

Iris Lynn!

Ha, this little assistant sure has some nerve to sit down without even a greeting?

"Thanks for Attorney Nolan’s help earlier."

Iris Lynn opened her mouth to thank her. Earlier, she clearly saw that Attorney Spencer just had her pretend to be a girlfriend to drive away the blind date.

Summer Nolan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for helping Attorney Spencer deal with that blind date. By the way, Attorney Spencer doesn’t like being pestered by women. Earlier, he was just acting with you, Attorney Nolan, don’t overthink it."

Iris Lynn spoke with what seemed like a respectful tone, but her words carried the air of a hostess.

"..." Summer Nolan glanced at the lively little assistant across from her and continued to cut a piece of steak to eat.

It was clear; this little assistant liked that man.

Iris Lynn, seeing her not responding, frowned slightly and continued to say,

"Attorney Spencer actually dislikes you a lot. Every time he sees you, he’s unhappy. It’s just surprising that you’d switch jobs to our firm just to chase after him.

Attorney Nolan, it’s better to keep yourself clean and have some self-awareness.

Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you. It’s just that every woman who entangles with Attorney Spencer is dealt with by me, I’m just doing my routine duties."

Summer Nolan finished the last piece of steak, picked up her bag, stood up, walked to the little assistant’s side, suddenly grabbed her hair at the back of her head, and pressed it onto the steak plate in front of her!

"Ah! Let go, let go!"

Iris Lynn screamed in terror, pressing her hands firmly on the edge of the table, trying to lift her head, but was held down tightly and couldn’t lift it no matter what.

It was uncomfortable.

The sauce on the plate was not only a bit hot but also all over her face, making it hard to breathe.

Without a mirror, she already knew she must look utterly embarrassed now.

"First, with your identity, you don’t have the right to be arrogant in front of me; second, my personal matters, Elias Spencer isn’t even qualified to interfere, who do you think you are?

Remember, keep your tail tucked in front of me, dare to try that attitude again next time?"

"Oh, and if you still want to stay at the firm, be sure to watch your mouth, hmm?"

Summer Nolan said with a gentle smiling tone, grabbed her hair, yanked her head up, and then brutally slammed it back onto the plate before disdainfully throwing her aside.

Getting rid of this unwelcome assistant from the firm was effortless, but she was afraid that if the assistant were to leave, she’d gossip at the firm. Right now, Summer couldn’t expose her matters with Elias Spencer.

She took a few tissues, elegantly wiping her hands while walking out confidently, indifferent to the observing eyes of the guests around.

The assistant’s words, she didn’t take to heart.

Whether Elias Spencer liked her or not, she knew well enough inside.

Iris Lynn gasped, clenching her hands tightly, glaring furiously at her retreating figure, not daring to say a word—

This was the first time she was bullied by someone from the firm!

"Summer Nolan, just you wait. I’ll definitely get you kicked out!" She vowed angrily.

The next morning.

Summer Nolan was walking to the entrance of the pantry with a water cup when she overheard several employees gossiping about her—

"Do you guys think Attorney Nolan’s daughter’s father is Attorney Spencer?"

"No way, right? It’s impossible for the two of them to be together."

"What do you mean impossible? It must be Attorney Spencer’s. That night I heard it crystal clear!"

"If it’s really Attorney Spencer’s, and this news gets out, not just the legal world but the entire country would go wild with coverage about them!"

Attorney Spencer and Attorney Nolan are so famous. The media frequently reports on how they openly and secretly fight, how they are like fire and water, and now suddenly saying they have a child together, the news is just too explosive!

Summer Nolan looked at them coldly, smiling but with a touch of frost in her eyes as she asked, "Have you gossiped enough? Do you want to ask me directly?"

The group immediately turned to look, instantly so frightened their legs went weak, awkward and fearful, they quickly apologized,

"Sorry, Attorney Nolan, we meant no harm, just, we were just purely curious..."

Summer Nolan walked over, giving them a sharp look,

"You guys work in this field and know that fabricating facts to slander others, especially if serious, could result in imprisonment for up to three years, right?

Or do you think I don’t have the ability to put you behind bars?"

Hearing her words, cold sweat broke out on their backs, "Attorney Nolan, we were wrong, don’t worry, we absolutely won’t dare spread this around!"

"Scram." She coldly spat out a word.

As they were about to leave, they suddenly saw Attorney Spencer walk in, their legs went even weaker, daring not to breathe loudly, and they hurriedly ran away.

Summer Nolan glanced at her ex-boyfriend, not saying a word—

Elias Spencer made a cup of instant coffee and said to her,

"I’ve prepared the list for due diligence. Starting today, we will set up a records room at Velocity Tech. Their headquarters are in the suburbs, which will take two to three hours to get there. We’d best stay at a hotel over there."

"Start with Summit," she suddenly said.

"Reason." They were acting on behalf of Summit to investigate Velocity Tech.

Finally, she could justifiably investigate Summit; it was truly like finding something easily after much effort—Summer Nolan slightly curled her lips.

Her father’s death was directly related to Summit’s chairman.
