"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sally averted her gaze.
It was not something that deserved to be happy.
"How much did he pay you?" Ceres cut to the chase.
"What are you talking about?" Sally was confused.
"How much did Johny pay you to lie to me?"
Ceres gave a mocking smile. "Poor Sally, what else do you see other than money? How could you degrade yourself at such a low level for the sake of money?"
Sally was impatient. "I didn't lie! Why don't you believe me? You'd be better to make peace with Johny right now! That's good for everyone. I really don't know what is wrong with you. How can you ditch such a good man?"
Ceres picked up her bag. She no longer wanted to see Sally. "I'm sorry to let you down. I'm afraid you can't get the money."
As she spoke, Ceres strode out of the cafe.
"Stop right there! It's damn true! Why would I lie to you?"
But Ceres ignored Sally's shouts and left the cafe.
She got the stuffy feeling in her chest as if something clogged her air pipe.
Johny was ridiculous! He made Sally tell such a stupid lie to make peace with Ceres!
Ceres thought that Johny had remade his error, but he didn't!
Ceres was getting much angrier on the way home. She couldn't swallow the anger.
She stepped on the brake and pulled over by the roadside. Ceres picked up her phone. "Help me find a lawyer in the Imperial City. I want the best lawyer!"
In the Eagle Group
Johny was distressed since Ceres kicked him out of the house. What happened that year was rooted in their hearts like a thorn in his.
Bob and Bill worried about him.
Johny's phone buzzed. "What?"
"Okay," he said, frowning.
After that, he threw his phone to the side.
"Is that Ceres..."
"She is looking for a lawyer to sue me."
"Shit!" Bill gave her a thumbs-up. "Ceres is indeed kickass awesome. She seems to fear nothing. Now, she wants to sue you! Well, amazing."
Bob lightly patted the back of Bill's head, "You are the smartest man in the room. Use your brain instead of your month! "
"Why so serious?" Bill patted on his thigh.
Johny and Bob looked at Bill, who looked confident as if he had come up with a plan.
"Lay it out! What's your plan?"
Bill looked at Johny proudly. "Johny, do you know what the most invincible thing in the world is? Well, that's thick skin. That's so true. You need to develop thick skin. If someone is thick-skinned, they are not easily hurt emotionally. "
Johny knitted his brows.
"If Ceres doesn't forgive you, you keep showing nice to her. As long as the requests are reasonable, you should accede to her wishes. In short, pamper her! If she doesn't want it, then you have to play a firmer hand!"
Bill gave his speech while knocking on the table.
