As soon as Jonah was identified, the reporters swarmed around him.
*Jonah, are you aware of Ms. Carolina’s claims for money against Ms. Summers?”
“I understand that after Ms. Summers burned down the house, you were offered a place to stay which
you personally rejected. Is Ms. Summers‘ refusal to pay unjustified in this case?”
“Are you here as a witness for Ms. Summers or to support Ms. Carolina?”
“Who do you hope will win this lawsuit?“c2
“Nick, Ms. Carolina is pressing charges against your daughter. What are your thoughts on this lawsuit?”
Nick’s life had always been arranged by Carolina. Within the Summers family, even Jonah had to listen
to her. What was more, his father always indulged his mother which forced him to be more tolerant
towards her.
Fortunately, most of the time, his mother was fighting for his interests, so he accepted it. Apart from not
having much power, he lived comfortably.
However, he had been paying close attention to this lawsuit in the shadows. Carolina had promised him
that this money would be enough for him to start a new company. Even though Chloe was his daughter,
after everything about the Summers family was exposed, he felt ashamed towards Chloe and he never
thought of getting anything from her. No matter what, he still had some basic human decency. As a
father, he hadn’t done anything for her, so naturally he had no face to ask anything from her. But if his
mother could get some money, he would hope so.
He shook his head and refused to answer the reporters‘ questions.
Jonah, on the other hand, paid no attention to the reporters‘ questions. His expression was cold. He
walked up to Carolina with his cane and stood still.
Carolina frowned at him, “Why are you here? Are you here to testify for Chloe? It’s useless. She openly
admitted that she wouldn’t give me the money. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be here today.”
Jonah looked at Carolina with a calm expression and said, “Would you agree to drop the lawsuit right
now if I asked you to?”
Carolina raised her eyebrows, “Do you think that’s possible at this point?”
“Nothing is impossible as long as the court is not in session. You just need to tell me whether you agree
or not!” Jonah said.
“I do not agree!” Carolina answered immediately without any hesitation, “I have been accused by
everyone. What do you think I’m doing this for? You may be satisfied with the current situation of the
Summers family, but I’m not! Nick hasn’t achieved anything till now. As his father, don’t you feel guilty at
all? You might be content with the life you have without any complaints. That’s your choice. But I can’t!
I, Carolina, am selfish and can’t live such a poor life. Moreover, I can’t watch my son live under
someone else’s thumb. He always has to obey others, living miserable all his life. So, I don’t care how
shameless and thick–skinned I appear in the eyes of others!”
Jonah’s lips trembled, “You’re even willing to give up your last bit of dignity for money?!”
Carolina said, “When I was the mistress of the Summers family, I needed dignity! But now I’m almost
like a beggar! I want to live a good life and to leave something for my son. What is dignity? Whose
dignity can be worth two billion? I was forced into this. If Chloe could have a good talk with me, accept
my apology, and acknowledge me as her grandmother, it wouldn’t have come to this! Jonah, if you’re
not here to help me, then don’t stop me!”
Jonah wobbled. He closed his eyes tightly, and after a long pause, he said again, “I beg you, drop the
lawsuit immediately.”
“Impossible!” Carolina refused again, “Don’t you get it? There’s no going back. This time, the break with
Chloe can only end in a lose–lose situation!”
Carolina was decided. After speaking, she stepped on and resolutely walked into the courthouse. Nick
was moved by Carolina’s words. Although Carolina used to manage the household, she did give him
the best in material life. At this point, she was still thinking for him. How could he not be
moved?
Jonah stood in place. His body swayed non–stop, and his expression was full of sadness and
heaviness.
Half an hour later, the court was in session.
There were many spectators in the courtroom, Nick, Jonah, Wendy, Nathan and Kane. Damon and
Yasmine were the last to arrive, sitting in the spectator seats and watching Chloe’s ‘state at all times.
The judge first asked them if they wanted to reconsider to drop the lawsuit, or give them time to
mediate privately. This kind of family dispute, if it could be kept private, then it should.
Chloe looked at Carolina, as if to say it all depended on Carolina’s decision, As a result, Carolina said,
“Five hundred million. If she’s willing to settle privately, then I’ll drop the lawsuit.”
The courtroom was in an uproar. Most people felt shocked and found it laughable.
“In a blink of an eye, the money has doubled. This old lady’s shamelessness is really beyond
measure!”
Chloe gave a slight smile, “Ms. Carolina, you really have a way of showing people the depths of
shamelessness.”
‘How could you say that? I’m your grandmother! Are you going to disrespect me like this in court?!”
Carolina yelled.
Chloe chuckled, then turned to the judge, “Even if we could settle this privately, I wouldn’t give her a
single cent. Since Ms. Carolina is so adamant, let’s get started then. My stance is crystal clear. I won’t
agree to pay Carolina the money she’s asking for. Not a billion, not a million, not even a
dime.”
Carolina scoffed, “You really won’t quit until you’ve hit rock bottom, huh?” Once she finished speaking,
she sat down, leaving her attorney to handle everything.
The lawyer listed several accusations against Chloe. As a young offspring, she had failed to fulfill her
responsibilities. She showed complete indifference to Carolina, even displaying violent tendencies. This
was referring to the incident a few days ago when Carolina was thrown out of Starlight International. In
addition, Chloe was accused of being verbally abusive and disrespectful towards Carolina, including
the incident where she set fire to the house, leaving Carolina homeless.
Every inappropriate behavior from the past that Carolina could remember was included in the
accusations. However, most of them overlooked the context and the causes, only focusing on the parts
that were advantageous to Carolina.
Throughout the whole process, Chloe just sat there quietly. After a rough summary from Carolina’s
lawyer, the judge turned to Chloe, asking, “Defendant Ms. Chloe, is what was just stated true?”
Leaning on her chin, Chloe smiled faintly, “True.”
