Chapter 1536
Her response sent the courtroom into a frenzy after a few seconds of silence. She actually admitted it. So how were they supposed to continue this case?
Carolina was very satisfied with Chloe's answer. She said with a smile, "You're smart. You know denying facts in court is just a waste of time."
"Though everything has a cause and effect, you only mentioned part of the truth, choosing only the bits that favor you. I admit that all you've said has happened. Is there anything else you want to accuse me of? This is a great opportunity, so spill it all out. Let me know how much I've wronged you over the years." Chloe said.
The judge seated and gave a little cough. Someone immediately said solemnly, "Ms. Summers, you need to be careful with your words in court. Stick to the facts. Be fair and impartial. If it's not true, don't admit it. Otherwise it's hard for us to make a fair judgment."b2 Chloe nodded, "Got it."
Apparently, someone had already warned them about dealing with Ms. Summers. Weirdly though, they didn't instruct them to take extra care of the defendant, but only to not restrain Chloe too much in court, regarding her posture, attitude, words, etc., to let her be herself.
As for the verdict, any clearly punitive decisions like imprisonment or detention were strictly not allowed.
Generally, if she lost a case, she just fulfilled the legal obligations.
Sending someone to jail over money, that was the worst case scenario. More so when it was about Ms. Summers, the most legitimate princess of Y Country.
The instructions were more harm than good. What a weird instruction it was! To adapt to her personality and preferences in attitude and words? Was this court here for her amusement?
Right. That was exactly what Damon meant. Since Chloe wanted to play, he provided her an environment with no worries. Although it seemed a bit disrespectful to the court, he knew Chloe had her boundaries. She knew what to do and what not to. She wouldn't do anything too outrageous in court.
Though it seemed a bit biased, the judge's serious expression and tone when speaking didn't give it away. After all, no lies of any kind were allowed in court.
Not only money, she wanted Nick's assets too. She was still not satisfied. She wanted Chloe to provide for her hospitalized sister.
And this sister was the cruelest person to Chloe back then.
Who gave her the audacity to make such shameless demands? If her demands were met, it would be a travesty of justice.
This darling made Damon's mood lighten. Nate was about to get up and deal with this, but Damon already had his phone out. He glanced at the judge on the stage, and after getting the judge's permission, he dialed the hospital directly. He spoke bluntly, "This is Damon. The patient named Keira, I don’t care about her state now. Send her where she should be immediately."
The response on the other end seemed immediate, and Damon calmly put away his phone. He looked at Chloe. Although Damon looked calm, Nate, standing next to him, felt a bit awkward.
Damon always kept a poker face in public, but having been with Damon for a while, Nate knew him a bit. This was clearly Damon's "mission accomplished, expecting praise" face. Seriously, just a bit of praise from Chloe, and this Mr. Harper of theirs would instantly perk up!

J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
