The Devil's Love For The Heiress by LiLhyz

Chapter 76: Stalker

Two days passed.

At the Longhills and Hogans Associates law firm, Monet finally confronted Carlos, Kate, and Alexander.

“Look, the truth is.” Monet sniffed her tears away. “My family is going bankrupt. SWEAT IT was supposed to be our last hope.”

“But with the arrival of CSK Apparel, we were threatened… I mean, how can we compete with RonaldoPlus? Carlos is so famous!” She continued to cry while saying, “Then, someone -” She stopped, reflecting on her words before changing her train of thought. “No. I can’t say more. I admit to everything, just don’t make me pay.”

“But you have to pay, Monet? How can you not? We have already produced all the first line of our clothing apparel. We had a major loss because of what you did!” Carlos pointed out.

It was because SWEAT IT’s designer admitted how it was all Monet’s idea and that he was forced to connive with her. Monet had threatened to fire the designer from the company. The designer was scared of his reputation and confessed outright, all while Carlos and Kate were still at the store.

“You were about to say something. What is it?” Carlos demanded.

Kate also caught how Monet said about someone.’ She frowned and suggested, “Come to think of it, Monet, I don’t think you are smart enough to devise this whole thing. Did you have some help you?”

Monet turned to her lawyers. They whispered to each other, and then her attorney said, “Our client reserves her right to remain silent.”

Anger flashed through Alexander’s face. He yelled, “But we have proof and witnesses who will confirm your scheme!”

The parties went back and forth, trying to get more information out of Monet, but she did not speak in the end. She and her lawyer merely whispered to each other. The discussion went on for hours. The room inside the law firm was boiling!

Carlos’ party was already enraged. However, since Monet kept silent, the lead council from Carlos’ side suggested, “Then, this is what my client wants as a settlement. We want to buy out SWEAT IT for half the price to compensate for the damages -”
