Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Ronald thought that the news of Elizabeth hiring Michael as a lawyer was just a hearsay.However, he

didn't expect to really see Michael in person.Michael pushed Ronald away.

Then, he stood still and replied calmly, "It's me! Don't you recognize me, Mr.Brown "

"You guys...Are you really her lawyer?"

"Yes! I'm the lawyer hired by Miss Brown." Michael said with a poker face.

"Mr.Brown, I'm warning you now! As a family of the criminal suspect, you're now being suspected of

personal attack by the threatening words that you said to my client.And I can sue you justifiably!"

"She...she's my daughter!"

Ronald was a little afraid after hearing Michael's words.

Michael was obviously not joking.He could definitely do it if he really wanted to ruin him.

"She is an independent being and you have no right to dictate her or threaten her to do things that are

against her will.I have recorded everything just now.Mr.Brown, good luck!"

"Uhm...about this...Valeria Brown, you wouldn't sue me, would you?"

Before Valeria could say anything, Michael interrupted, "We'll have to see Mr.Brown's sincerity then."

Seeing how Michael publicly defended Valeria, Elizabeth was displeased.

It seemed that she couldn't count on Ronald anymore.

Therefore, she had to discuss this with Valeria and Michael.

"We're all friends, so there's no need to make a big deal out of it.I suggest all of us sit down and have a

discussion!"

"I'm okay with negotiating, but it all depends on your sincerity! Our acceptance will hinge on the terms”

Michael said indifferently.

"If you agree with our terms and condition, then Mason and Ashley will be free from jail.On the contrary,

I have already found a cell for them, and they may be imprisoned for 3 years.But of course, there will

be some compensation!"

"Let's have a good talk!" Elizabeth suggested.

Valeria was disgusted by Elizabeth's actions every time she saw her.

Elizabeth used to be so close and friendly to her, but now she had hurt her too deeply.

As for the issue of her being slandered, Mason definitely had no say on this and Elizabeth was also

one of the accomplices.So, how could they expect her to negotiate comfortably with this woman?

"Sorry, I'm busy and I have other things to do."

"What can you possibly be busy with?" Ronald scolded.

"Oh, well...I need to find a job, cook for my man, and have tea time with my buddies.Anyway, it's more

important than having this discussion with you guys: Ronald and Elizabeth were infuriated by her

words.

Then, Michael smiled and said, "Miss Brown, go ahead.I'll talk to them!"

"Well, then I'll fully entrust this issue to Michael!" Valeria walked away.

Seeing how she trusted Michael so much, Ronald and Elizabeth immediately had a bad feeling.

Could it be that she was ready to treat them with the way they had devised against her? Sure enough,

Michael opened up his luxury briefcase and took out a few copies of the document after they settled

down.

"This is the contract agreement that was signed between Miss Brown and Wolf Group after she

resigned.Since the Wolf Group admires Miss Brown's design, they have intended to hire her as the

chief designer with an annual salary of 50 million and a contract of ten years.However, Miss Brown's

reputation is damaged, and she even lost the job because of Mr.Mason and Ms.Ashley.Therefore, the

loss should be borne solely by both of them”

"How is this possible? Wolf Group's designers are all world-class designers, and Valeria is just an

undergraduate who has just graduated for less than two years.What makes her eligible?"

Elizabeth raised the question, and Ronald was also in disbelief, "Is this a joke?"

Michael looked calmly at Ronald and said, "I felt that Madam Howard's reaction is normal.But I'm

curious about you, Mr.Brown.Is Miss Brown really your daughter? "Can I even fake about this?"

"Since she's your daughter, but why are you unhappy with her achievement? Aren't you supposed to

be full of pity and disheartened when you heard that Miss Brown had lost her job at Wolf Group? Why

are you having the same reaction as Madam Howard?"

Ronald was speechless by the sudden question.

Then, Michael glanced sideways at him and continued.

"Mr.Mason and Ms.Ashley are both deliberately vicious and scheming.Not only they stole Miss Brown's

design, but they also worked with others to slander Miss Brown for plagiarism.What's more, they even

hired netizens to spread negative comments about her.Now, she has become the most searched topic

on the internet and we have acquired the evidence.Do you guys want to have a look?"

Michael played the recording of their conversation with Athena.

Ronald and Elizabeth's face immediately turned pale with embarrassment.

Michael paused the recording and said, "That's all, I won't show any other evidence.You're all sensible

people and you should know the seriousness of this matter.Although the charges of defamation are not

severe, it's more than enough for you to be imprisoned for three years.Now, it's up to you two to

decide."

"What about the terms that you listed out? The compensation of 500 million is too much! Can't we at

least negotiate?"

"You think it's too much? Then we won't process to discuss any further" Michael began to tidy up the

documents.

"Wait a minute! What about the other condition? Why don't you share it with us?"

"Mr.Mason and Ms.Ashley will apologize to the press in public and publish an apology letter on the

news headlines and online media for a month consecutively."

"Um..."

Elizabeth and Ronald looked at each other.

"It should be much better than going to jail, right? After all, Mason is still so young.His status in the

Howard family might be affected if he goes to jail for three years."

Michael's words hit right into Elizabeth's thoughts.

She knew very well that Hayden had already called Andrew and asked him to return from overseas.

If Mason really went to jail for three years, Andrew might have already taken over the main position of

the Howard family.

At that time, it would be difficult for Mason to be relocated.

Since Mason couldn't be a part of the Howard Group and he also went to jail, he probably wouldn't be

able to clear his reputation for the rest of his life.

After weighing the risk, Elizabeth said, "Ashley was the one who framed Valeria, and Mason was only

deceived by her.Hence, Ashley should be responsible for the apology statement.As for the

compensation, Mr.Brown and I will find a way to settle the payment.What do you think, Lawyer

Michael?"

"I can take a step back for you, Madam Howard.However, you have to recover Miss.Brown's reputation,

and Mason has to apologize to her in person" Michael had given Elizabeth a way out.

After all, if Mason was asked to apologize publicly, he would be risking his image.

So, how could he keep his foothold in the future? He would let him pay for the compensation first and

William would teach him a lesson afterward.

After the discussion, Michael got up and left.

Then, he called William outside of the car, "It's almost settled, inform Ms.Brown to just wait to collect

the money"

"Well done, I'll treat you to dinner next time"

William knew that Michael was capable of it.

"Great, I heard that Miss Brown is very good at cooking.Why don't we have dinner at your house?"

William's expression suddenly changed, "How did you know that she's good at cooking? Forget about it

if you don't wanna eat outside!"

"I didn't expect you to be like this, William Howard."

Suddenly, Valeria's angry expression flashed across his mind, especially the look when she defended

William.

Indeed, these two people were surprisingly alike.

Then, he laughed and said, "If you refuse to invite me to dinner, then I'll ask Miss Brown instead.I'll go

to your house for dinner and see what you can do about it! By the way, I'll take Richard with me to taste

Ms.Brown's delicious home-cooked meals!"

"How dare you!"

"Let's just wait and see!"
