Catherine also threw a nervous glance at Shaun, only to see that he remained nonchalant as if he had not just been insulted.“A piece of trash doesn’t deserve to speak to me.”He retrieved his cold glance and turned toward Catherine. “Come in with me.”Then, he walked toward the courtroom. She quickly trailed behind him.Hadley flashed a smile at James. “Speak your mind when you still have the chance.”His smile was reserved and polite, yet it sent a shudder down James’ spine. “Aunty, will I be alright?”Sally looked at him tenderly. “Don’t worry, your Uncle Jeffery has cleaned up all the evidence left behind. You’re only here today as a witness.”“Behave yourself next time if you’re a coward.” Jeffrey gave a snort of contempt. In actuality, he did not like James too much but Sally had taken a liking to this nephew. Besides, James knew how to please them with gifts every now and then.“Don’t worry, this young lad is just using his powerful connections to intimidate people. I’ve

However, inside the courtroom, the atmosphere felt tense at the plaintiff’s side.Miles was wearing a sullen expression. Next to him, Mr. Stewart, the attorney, was gulping down water while looking flustered.On the other side, Catherine was chatting happily with Freya. The latter could not stop laughing.The attorney beside her was even playing mobile games on his phone.“I’ll find out what’s going on.” Anxiety washed through Jeffery in waves as he approached Miles. “Young Master Clark, what’s the problem with Mr. Stewart? He doesn’t look alright to me.”Miles answered with a cold glare, “Your daughter is really something.”This baffled Jeffery greatly. Mr. Stewart explained with a sigh, “Catherine Jones has hired Australia’s undefeated legend as her attorney. It’s a real challenge for me to win this case.”No, he did not even stand a chance to win.“What undefended legend?!” Jeffery was astonished. “That’s what you promised. You told us you’re certainly going to win.”The lo

Soon, Terry Miller was brought into the courtroom.Shaun stared at the man with a piercing gaze. “Who was it who collaborated with you to replace the electrical cables with inferior ones?”Terry locked his eyes with James and pointed at the latter. “It’s him.”Flustered, James shouted, “You’re lying. Did you receive bribes from Catherine?”Terry replied flatly, “It wasn’t her but you who bribed me. After the fire took down the hotel, you transferred two million dollars to my son, who’s living abroad, and ordered me to shift the blame to Catherine Jones.”All color drained off James’ face. Sally began to look concerned as well.Miles was incensed. “So it was you who replaced the electrical cables! What’s the matter with you? Trying to deceive me by shifting the blame to Catherine Jones?”An enigmatic smile flashed across Shaun’s face. “Mr. Clark, the Jones family is even sacrificing their own daughter. They aren’t trying to deceive you. They’re just trying to save their nephew.”

“Alright, now back to the main topic.”Indifference returned to Shaun’s handsome face within seconds.“Your Honor, not only did James Lennon secretly replace the electrical cables of Lublin Hotel with inferior ones, but he also utilized substandard waterproof material for the construction. Naturally, similar tactics have been used in other construction projects he oversaw apart from this collaboration with the Clark family. He’s done the same in villas, museums, and clubhouses, just to name a few.”“You’re lying. I’ve not done anything like that!” James shouted while shaking his head violently. There was no way this man could have found out about everything.“The proprietors gave negative feedback after the renovation, citing incidents of water leaking, electrical short circuits, and other such cases. Your Honor, these are the video recordings by the proprietors themselves.”Shaun submitted another memory stick to the judge.“Moreover, there’s also evidence of him cutting corners

After the trial ended, James fell sitting on the ground weakly like a lifeless man.The police officers came in to drag him out of the courtroom.Rebecca and her parents took the opportunity to sneak out of the courtroom before anyone could notice.Freya ran forward excitedly to embrace Catherine. “This is such good news! And Mr. Hill, you’re awesome! I thought you might get 20 years’ imprisonment for James but he got a life sentence that can’t be commuted. That’s incredible. You’re totally my idol.”“I agree. You’re really awesome.”Catherine nodded along. This court case ended quicker than she expected but the results were certainly satisfactory.Besides, Shaun had focused on attacking James all the way through. Although the Jones family managed to escape this time, she believed this signaled the end of Summit. No one would dare to collaborate with them ever again.“Just really awesome?” Shaun raised his handsome eyebrows as he stared into her eyes.People always praised him

“That’s right.” Freya quickly jumped in to save her friend. “Mr. Hill has done her a great favor today, hence she definitely needs to treat him to a meal.”“Yup, I’ve already booked a place. See you all later,” Catherine said while dragging Shaun toward the door.Otherwise, she was worried that she might be jumping from one frying pan to another.Wesley and Ethan frowned curiously upon seeing her dragging the man away from them.Especially Wesley who already had a few exchanges with Shaun. As far as he knew, the latter was arrogant and rude, but Catherine was able to drag him away by the arm?He suddenly remembered how the two of them had disappeared from the restaurant the other day. It occurred to him at that moment that they must have an unusual relationship.Ethan was displeased at the sight too. He questioned Freya who was still there in the courtroom. “It looks like Cathy is quite friendly with Mr. Hill. Is it possible that he likes her?“Oh right, you mentioned that a fri

“Jump out of the car if you want.” Shaun deliberately stretched out his necktie as he instructed Hadley, “Speed up. Drive at the speed where she’ll die instantly if she jumps out right now.”“...”Catherine was speechless.This man was the devil himself.Upon realizing that Hadley was actually speeding up, she glared at him angrily but her courage to jump out of the car had instantly diminished. “Come here.” Finally, he gestured to her impatiently.“As long as you don’t tie me up,” she said worriedly.“Did I say I want to tie you up? You’re the one entertaining these filthy thoughts.” He impatiently grabbed her close and placed her on his lap.There was someone else in the car! Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she dared not move around simply. To play safe, she initiated a neutral conversation topic.“What would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll make anything you request to thank you for your help today.”“It’s always food with you.” He threw her a mocking look before laugh

Catherine nodded. She would do that even without being told.In order to express her gratitude, she made herself busy in the kitchen to prepare all of Shaun’s favorite dishes.At this moment, she was checking her social media.Well, the entire online community was criticizing Summit. Although Jeffery was not being investigated this time, the netizens did not believe the president of the company was innocent.There were even petitions across the internet to boycott Summit. Summit was going down!The people from before who misunderstood her for accepting bribes all changed their minds and started to feel sorry for her after knowing that she had been framed.She used to have a few million followers but now the number had increased to over ten million. She was even more popular than some celebrities.After dinner was ready, Aunty Linda could not help admiring the delicious-looking feast. “I didn’t know you’re such a great chef. No wonder Young Master Hill isn’t willing to eat what
