Chapter 2531
As they chatted, their conversation grew livelier, until a secretary knocked on the door, breaking.
"Come in," Nicole called out as she turned to look at the entrance.
"Miss Riddle, here's a document from the Legal Department, " the secretary said as she handed a file to Nicole with a grimace on her face.
She could not help but cast a glance at Lulu when she was doing so.
"Does it have anything to do with my case?" Lulu anxiously asked, understanding what the secretary was trying to convey.
"The results... aren't very favorable," the secretary replied, her tone soft and hesitant.
Lulu’s face turned pale as she turned to look at Nicole. She waited until Nicole was done reading the document, so that the latter could explain to her what was going on.
Nicole flipped the document open, and her eyes narrowed as she read the details.
"They want $300,000 and a public apology from Lulu!" Nicole yelled.
Not only had they falsely accused Lulu; they were also greedy enough to demand that much from her.
"The Legal Department suggests that if we want to resolve this quickly, these are their terms," the secretary explained in a low voice.
Still, the demands from the accusers were ridiculous.
"I won't agree to that." Lulu's pale face turned red as she clenched her teeth, feeling visibly upset.
After she was done, Nicole placed the document away and looked at Lulu. "If that's the case, then let's follow the proper procedures and find conclusive evidence."
She had initially thought about resolving the matter calmly to avoid putting pressure on Spencer and Lulu before their wedding. However, Nicole did not expect that the siblings would be so disgustingly greedy.
Nicole would have let the siblings off the hook if they turned themselves in and admitted their mistakes, as all she wanted was for Lulu and Spencer's wedding to go smoothly. But since the siblings were not willing to cooperate, she had decided to handle it through the legal, official route.
"Got it," the secretary replied and left the room.
