Chapter 2452
“I represent Ms. Dunhill as her attorney, and we are pressing charges against Seren for her reckless defamation of my client’s good name on the internet. Not only has she invaded my client’s privacy, but she has also fabricated stories, causing harm to my client’s reputation. These are the evidence we have compiled.”
Seren’s face was a mask of terror. Why was her bank statement laid out so clearly among the evidence?
That meant Mara was also exposed!
But Seren was jumping to conclusions. Sure, she was exposed, but Mara had left no trail. The money Mara sent had been through an offshore account that was untraceable.
“Defendant, can you confirm if these are your bank transactions from the past few days?”
The judge inquired after a quick glance.
It was at that moment that Seren realized things weren’t as simple as she had thought. Even her lawyer was at a loss for words.
She was unprepared for this bloodless war, and now she was utterly defeated.
As soon as court was adjourned, Seren bolted from the courtroom. She needed to call that woman and ask why she hadn’t warned her about the severity of the situation!
“Are you genuinely this clueless, or is it an act? You’re being sued, of course it’s serious!! warned you, but you didn’t take it seriously.” Mara was lounging on her bed, feet up, casually responding to the frantic Seren on the other end of the line.
She had used Seren enough.
“When did you tell me? You promised you’d get me the best lawyer, and this one’s dumber than I am! How is he supposed to get me out of this? He was clueless in court today! Is he a lawyer or an intern?”
Seren’s accusations made Mara laugh out loud.
“How would I know if he’s an intern or not? I gave you a substantial amount of money. If you really cared, wouldn’t you have used it to hire a lawyer yourself? Why the desperate wait for me?”
So that was what Mara was waiting for.
“I wondered why you were so generous not to mention that money. You were playing this game. I’ve never met a woman as vile and venomous as you. I’ve made a terrible mistake. If I had known what you were like, no amount of money would have made me agree to help you!”
“And what of it? You helped me do this dirty work; do you think you’re any better? Oh, and don’t even think about exposing this. Believe me, bringing me down won’t do you any favors. Haven’t you been online? It’s probably all over the internet that you’ve been sued. The public can now see your true colors; no one will believe a word you say.”
Seren was seething with hatred but knew the truth deep down.
If people knew she had been spouting nonsense, nothing she said would hold any credibility.
Cry wolf too many times, and when the wolf actually comes, no one believes you.
Utterly dejected, Seren pulled at her hair and slumped to the floor.
How had she been so impulsive to agree to that she-devil’s plan?
If she had refused, she might still be unemployed, but at least she wouldn’t be tangled in this mess, possibly facing jail time.
