112 Losing Money to Avoid Disaster
Diana’s frowns were so tight that they were about to kill a fly. “I’m helping you. You can’t afford to offend her! You can’t go wrong by listening to me. Otherwise, don’t come to me if anything happens in the future.”
Edison was very convinced by his sister. She had graduated from one of the top ten famous universities in the country and had been the smartest person in the family since she was a child. When he saw his sister’s serious expression and the discomfort on her face, he hesitated.
Aileen had been struggling to decide if she should stand up and tell the truth. Now that she heard her aunt’s words, she felt that she had met her savior.
She quickly stepped forward and said softly, “I can testify that this boy is my classmate after I transferred to another school. When he got into a fight at school, his mother brought people to settle the score with the parents. Those parents didn’t dare to find trouble with him after they got beaten up. After that, they would avoid him when they saw him. His family has a Mafia background, and it’s the kind that’s very powerful!”
If someone else had said this, Edison would have felt that they were exaggerating. But if it were an honest person like Aileen who had said it, Edison would only feel that it might have been too little.
Indeed, Aileen had spoken too little. She had deliberately left out the part where she said that Leon was on the side of justice. Although it was not a lie, her heart was still beating wildly.
But on second thought, they were in the wrong. If Uncle really succeeded, then wouldn’t Leon and his mother be wronged? In contrast to this serious consequence, Aileen firmly told herself in her heart that she had done nothing wrong.
When Edison looked at Vivian again, the arrogance in his eyes was gone. After hesitating for a moment, he found an excuse for himself. “This time, I’ll be magnanimous and will not hold it against you. I’ll let you go.”
This result was really beyond Vivian and Jason’s expectations, and they were ready to appeal.
Although she did not know how much Edison’s family was worth, Vivian was confident that if she took out her asset credit report, she would definitely be able to make the judge and jury believe that she was beautiful and rich. It would not be her turn to lay her hands on a married man with a bald head and a beer belly.
Moreover, judging from the other party’s familiar tone of harassment, the evidence of the other party having a lover was accurate. How could such an immoral person win the lawsuit against her? No way!
Although the other party had retreated, Vivian did not intend to let him go so easily. “You want to let it go, but that doesn’t mean I will agree. After being slandered by you, I don’t think I’m in a good mental state. My time has been delayed by you, so I want you to compensate me ten thousand yuan.”
“What?”
Edison and Carol shouted at the same time.
Edison was so angry that he patted his chest. He had already given in, but the other party was still so aggressive! Ten thousand yuan was almost a quarter’s profit from his small company!
Taking money from Edison’s pocket was no different from a loss for her. Carol immediately cursed, “B*tch, I’m warning you, don’t push your luck!”
Vivian smiled and said, “It’s increased to fifteen thousand yuan now.”
Vivian didn’t think that she had gone too far. She was a businessman. If she followed Carol’s version of the story, it would be a loss of virtue. Who would be willing to do business with her? Who would be responsible for the losses caused?
Vivian would never show mercy to those who tarnished her reputation. Besides, these scumbags had even scolded Leon. If she didn’t cut a layer of their flesh, she would write her name backward!
Anyway, Jason had nothing to do. As a lawyer of the largest firm in the country, he occasionally needed to maintain his state in actual combat.
When Diana heard Vivian’s request, she also felt that it was too much. Her brother was still standing there with a bruised face.
Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down again, Aileen was also very anxious, but she did not think that the other party’s demand for compensation was too much. She could only continue to try to persuade him. “Auntie, my classmate’s Mother has a lawyer and is in the underworld business. Are you sure we can win if this matter is blown up?”
Diana looked at Aileen, then at Leon’s clothes and Jason’s. She also agreed with Aileen’s theory of killing both black and white.
She stopped her brother and sister-in-law, who were about to continue scolding her. “Forget it, don’t say anymore. Let’s spend money to get rid of this disaster!”
Edison stared at Diana and continued to shout unwillingly, “Don’t you have a classmate who’s a lawyer? Call the person over. I’ll pay the lawyer’s fee!”
Vivian looked as if she was afraid that the other party would not go to court with her, so she immediately continued, “I’ll fight you to the end. Jason, the other lawyers of your Fuli International Law Firm will not be representing my defendant, right?”
