Chapter 1549
Everyone turned their heads to where the buzz originated to see Damon, clad in a black, high–end suit, standing by
the car door. He was skillfully buttoning up his suit. Then he took the coat Nate handed over, walked to the other
side of the car, carefully helped a similarly tall woman out, and immediately draped the coat over her.
Although they couldn’t see the woman’s face at the moment, just by looking at her figure, they could guess who
she was, especially when this woman was taken good care of by Damon.
The smug grin on Wendy’s face froze solid. She stared hard at the two people not far away, veins popping on her
forehead.
“It’s Mr. Harper and Ms. Summers!”
The crowd got excited, and, paying no mind to Wendy, they all turned to surround the pair. Nate’s bodyguards, who
he had arranged beforehand, immediately started protecting the two.c2
Chloe was wearing a warm pink down jacket. Damon lifted the hood of her jacket over her head. He was protecting
her with everything he had, not giving the cold any chance to touch her.
After the court case ended yesterday, Chloe had kept it short during the interview, only giving them the result and
not saying anything extra. After that, she had made no comment on the worsening online public opinion about her.
So tonight, the reporters had a lot of questions they wanted to ask her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ms. Summers, is it true that the rumor online about you forcing Old Mr. Summers to testify in court?”
“If not, then what was your purpose for going to Sacred Heart Church?”
“Even though Old Mr. Summers was indeed in the wrong back then, wasn’t it too cruel of you to force him to
disclose his past?”
“He’s kept it a secret for so many years, and now his reputation is ruined. Don’t you feel even a bit guilty?“.
“You won this court case, and pushed the two old people to this state. Are you really happy? Don’t you feel guilty at
all? It was a problem that could have been resolved with money. Why did you have to complicate things?”
The reporters‘ words were sharp and grating, because these were all questions that netizens were concerned
about.
Chloe walked to the hotel entrance with a cold expression and then slowly turned around. Looking indifferently at
the swarm of reporters in front of her, she slowly said, “Why can’t I be happy about winning a court case? Why do
you all think that me going to Sacred Heart Church must mean I forced him to testify? Do you think I kidnapped him
and made him go to the witness stand? Why should I feel guilty? He did all those things himself, and I didn’t force
him to. He willingly took responsibility, so why should I be held accountable? This is a problem that could be solved
with money. Why should I let it escalate to this point? Was it me who started this court case? Why should I give
money to Carolina?
“Or, how about I tell everyone later that you guys became reporters because you slept with your bosses, your
diplomas were stolen, I take away your properties and cars, introduce your spouses to others, then abandon you in
a foreign country. Then, when I am down on my luck and out of money, will you give me fifty billion?”
All the reporters fell silent.
Chloe, “Why are you all not speaking? Did I say something wrong? Where did your anger and sense of justice go?
Did you all shut up because I mentioned money? You’re not going to give it to me? Then I’ll take you all to court.”
A reporter said, “Why? We’re not your relatives or friends…”
Chloe, “Exactly, so who is Carolina to me? She did so many things to hurt me, and I should give her fifty billion and
company shares? What kind of good deal is this? She relied on the fact that she’s my eld
elder to demand money in front of me, and when she didn’t get it, she immediately took me to court. Even if she
was my own grandmother, and even if I really broke the law and have to go to jail, I wouldn’t give her money. She
hurt me, yet expects me to be good to her, What a joke! Before you criticize me, think about what you would do if
you were in my shoes. Everyone knows I hold grudges, so don’t talk to me about forgiveness. I’m not that great.”
The reporters present were rendered speechless by Chloe’s words. They looked at each other, not knowing what to
say next.
Wendy sat to the side, watching Chloe. She wished she could tear that eloquent mouth of hers to shreds! “Since you
didn’t force- Jonah to testify, then why did all the hot topics and negative comments about you on the internet
suddenly get taken down yesterday?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWendy’s words made the reporters nod in agreement. “If you have nothing to hide, why would you do that?”
Chloe snorted, “Taking it down means I have something to hide? If I was really hiding something, I wouldn’t take it
down so that you guys can keep bothering me.”
The reporters thought that made sense. Yeah, she would get scolded whether she did something or not. If she did
do something, the consequences might be even
worse.
A reporter asked, “Then why..”
Chloe, “Because some people are too eager to see me in pain, being criticized. Life being too smooth isn’t
necessarily a good thing. It can easily breed hostility. If I don’t let them have their way occasionally, I’m afraid they
would get too suppressed, and it would be a burden on their mental health, leading them to do something even
more outrageous. There should be a proper balance of relaxation and tension in life. Letting certain people be
happy once in a while is not a bad thing.”
Wendy’s face turned extremely cold. Everyone present unanimously turned their gazes towards her.
T
~Everyone could probably guess who Chloe was talking about.
“Hahahaha!” The fans who were just supporting Chloe couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
One of them said, “What you said is absolutely right. Just now, Ms. Wendy did say out loud that she was very happy
seeing those people criticizing you online.”
