Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - 6 6 Leaving the ID Card Behind

Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Leaving the ID Card Behind Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Leaving the ID Card Behind “What, trying to slip away?”

Bullshit, am I supposed to wait around for you to sue me? Cherish Turner’s heart was in a state of collapse. Initially, she intended to make a fortune by selling an inflatable doll, but ended up making a loss!

Who could understand the size of her psychological trauma?

“Mr. Griffith, can’t we just have a calm discussion? I’m just a humble citizen. Are you really going to stoop to my level? Please, pretend that I…”

Before Cherish could finish her sentence, William Griffith beckoned to Benjamin Solomon.

“How would one be sentenced for defamation?”

“Um… it’s hard to say at the moment. It depends on the victim’s status, position, and worth in society. The more prominent the victim, the harsher the sentence!”

“What if it’s someone like me?” William continued.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow, Huh, who is this girl and why is our brother making such calculated moves against her?

This is clearly intentional! They’re trying to frame this poor girl!

“For someone as renowned as President Griffith of Haicheng, the punishment wouldn’t be light either. With a defamation crime, we could be talking a three to five-year sentence.”

“!!” Cherish was on the verge of tears. Three to five years? Was he implying she could end up in prison?

But she still had to keep up appearances!

“Pfft, just because you say I’ll be sentenced doesn’t mean I’ll be sentenced. We live in a society of laws, don’t try to intimidate me with your nonsense!” She wasn’t scared!

“Whether it’s intimidation or not, miss, you’ll know when you’re in court!” Benjamin said, grinning, appearing completely harmless.

“So, let the court decide when the time comes.” As William spoke, he let go of Cherish’s hand, no longer restraining her.

Now, Cherish was stuck in a dilemma.

The law generally favors the rich, and she knew she would be the one to suffer if entangled in this. She may as well just admit defeat.

“Mr. Griffith, please don’t press charges. I beg you.”

A smile now appeared on William’s face, but Cherish, with her head down, missed seeing this.

“Oh? But this is a legal society, I naturally need to settle this publicly to avoid people accusing me, William Griffith, of bullying a little girl.”

“No, no, no, Mr. Griffith, today’s incident was my fault. I was too rash. Please, be the bigger person here and let me off the hook, will you?”

Cherish was ever so close to dropping her pride and begging him for mercy, but this stinking man was relentless.

“So, the scene you caused earlier, how should I settle it? If I let you off, I’ll be the one at a disadvantage.”

“How can that be? Mr. Griffith, I won’t let you be at a disadvantage!”

Cherish promised seriously!

“Oh, how so?”

“If you let me go, I’ll go out there and tell everyone that I made a mistake. There is no way a man as brave and virtuous as Mr. Griffith would ever buy something as vulgar as an inflatable doll! If that doesn’t appease you, I’m willing to do any heavy work!”

Hmm. That last part was quite appealing to William. After all, he was missing this young girl’s skills quite terribly!

Benjamin watched all this unfold, utterly contemptuous of William, the almighty President, calculating against a small girl. You really are shameless, brother!

“Bring out your ID card.” William said coldly.

“Huh?” Cherish didn’t understand, but as he was the one calling the shots, she had no choice but to obey and brought out her ID card.

Just as she took the id card out of her bag, William’s cold, slender fingers reached out and took hold of her id card, clutching it in his hand…
