Linda and Erin were also stunned. "What court summons?"
Wynn snapped out of her daze and walked over.
The summons stated that Velotra was suing them for "misappropriation of trade secrets".
Wynn frowned. As far as she knew, Locket Tech had never had any dealings with Velotra. Why would they suddenly sue them?
But that wasn't the most important thing right now. What mattered was—
Lilian pointed to the amount being claimed on the copy of the complaint and said coldly, "Look here."
Wynn leaned over. Before she could say anything, Linda spotted the figure first and immediately paled. "500 million! They're demanding 500 million from us?"
Wynn saw the figure as well, but then noticed something else. "They're also seeking punitive damages that are five times the amount."
In other words, Velotra was demanding 2.5 billion dollars from them.
Wynn finally understood why her parents' expressions had changed so drastically.
When Erin and Patricia heard this, their faces changed as well.
Linda panicked. "Why? They can't just sue us whenever they want! Our company doesn't even have any dealings with them, does it?"
Technically, that was true. But if Velotra didn't have evidence, how could they possibly file a lawsuit out of nowhere?
For a moment, the entire Locket family descended into chaos.
Harvey looked at Wynn. "Wynn, why don't you ask Trevor?"
"...Okay."
Even if Harvey hadn't suggested it, Trevor was already the first person who had come to her mind. His sources of information should be far better than theirs.


It was just that she really couldn't figure out Trevor's attitude tonight, and that left her feeling uneasy.
Just then, Patricia and Erin realised that something was wrong as well. "What happened?"
There was no way to keep it from them, so Lilian gave them a brief account of everything that had happened at the banquet.
Both women's expressions changed.
Erin especially clenched her teeth and cursed, "Quentin really is useless! He can't get anything done and only makes things worse!"

She opened the group chat she shared with Trevor, Beck and Miles. It was completely silent.
For someone as obsessed with gossip as Miles, such silence was highly unusual. For him to say absolutely nothing, that could only mean…

The readers' comments on the novel: The Breaking Point of Love (Celeste and Trevor)
Somehow i am relieved today to see no updates than to be disappointed with yet another irritating show of everyone else's POV but the main characters...
I know everyone will not agree with me and I also know that Trevor is a trash and all but I want Trevor and Celeste to get back together. They should be the end game and for that to happen Trevor should start working hard for that second chance....
So we're going to go on for another 15 chapter's about jordan's temper tantrum with neither of the parents asking her what's wrong..stop milking it. The only reason i'm still reading is because i cant leave a book unfinished. What I'm pissed about is the book started with promise and turned into a circus....
The story should just come to an end and the writer should give their reader the closure they deserve. There's no point in keeping the story going. It's been the same since the start. Not has changed. The initial story plot was, that Celeste and Trevor are getting devorce and still after 800 + chapter, they are still heading for a devorce....
Don’t Shaws and Lockets reflect ever on themselves? Every difficult situation, they look forward to Wynn to ask for Trevor to help. Initially the focus of the novel was on how Wynn is so accomplished blah blah and now - she is just a useless person, incapable of anything. Irritating storyline...
I'm starting to get bored and I can't predict exactly where the story is headed....
Beck being the only actual adult to ask a child what’s wrong...
Can we get to the point its stagnant and I am unimpressed,I don't care about the company being in trouble nor the inner thoughts of others. Come on now....
Its a good thing both jordan parents are loaded. They going to spend a lot for Jordan therapy. 😂...
Wynn has no shame. And keeping the staff well beyond their work hours is an a-hole move....
