Chapter 32 - See You in Court

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing Mr. Mitchell’s suddenly cold demeanor, Eve’s voice even shook as she yelled, “You must be crazy! If you gave everyone a refund, you wouldn’t be able to get your money back!”

But Mr. Michell didn’t care, looking at her like an emotionless machine as he said, “These are all your responsibility, so naturally you’ll have to pay for everything.”

Eve was stunned as she said, “What? I have to pay?”

“It was clearly written in the contract. I hope that you will not deny this.” His assistant then walked over with a contract as he said to Eve, “Ms. Brooke, the total is 200,000. All you need to do is to transfer it to my personal account!”

Eve’s eyes opened wide as her face turned pale. It was obvious that she had reached her limit as she screamed, “Danny Mitchell! How can you do this?! Where am I going to get so much money right now?!”

Luna waited at the side, and a smile appeared on her face.

This result was much more satisfying.

Looking at everyone trying to come over to get a refund, Alexander then stood up and asked Master Gideon warmly, “Master Gideon, are you free today? I heard that a new tea shop just opened in Swindon. The tea there is quite good.”

“Of course.”

The three of them walked together. But Eve had already caught up with them after taking a few steps. “Sister, Brother-in-law, please don’t go!”

Luna turned around and looked at her with a wry smile and said, “Eve Brooke, I’m no longer a member of the Brookes. All I had left was this last name of mine. You know it’s inappropriate to call me that, right?”

All the people who were trying to process their refunds lowered their voices. Would this be the beginning of a live show where a sister fought a sister?

“Sister, I know you hate me, but can you please help me pay my penalty to Mr. Mitchell? I know that it’s my fault! Really! But you can’t leave me here!” Eve was no longer the bully earlier. There were tears in her eyes, as if she really knew that what she had done was wrong. “I’ll go back and tell Dad to repay you immediately, alright?”

“I told you before. I’m not your sister, and he’s not your brother-in-law.” Luna frowned. “Eve, are you just being shameless, or you don’t understand what I’m saying?’

All the onlookers began to whisper among themselves.

“This Eve Brooke is so shameless. Did she ever think that she would be in trouble when she cheated with her sister’s ex-fiancé? Only now does she remember Luna. What was she doing earlier?!”

“They’re all family. Luna has to return to the Brookes one of these days!”

“Shh, just watch!”

Eve was stunned and felt a fire burning in her chest as she said, “It’s all my fault. Brother-in-law, can you please advise my sister? I’ve been feeling regretful about it, I’m sorry…”

Alexander raised his eyebrow and said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Brooke. I cannot help you with that.”

After saying that, the two of them left as they held hands.

Eve stood there, with her slender fingers curled up into a fist.

She felt that all her dignity had been trampled by everyone today.

‘Luna Brooke! One day, I will make you kneel before me and beg!!!’

Master Gideon looked at this from far away, and the beads in his hand were slowly spinning. The ‘mentally ill’ young miss from the Brooke family was truly quite interesting.

Once they left, the emcee just now walked over with a POS machine. He was no longer as polite towards Eve as before. He said, “Ms. Brooke, time to settle the bill!”

“Danny Mitchell, it’s just an art exhibition, not a jewelry exhibition! It shouldn’t be this expensive!” Eve finally regained her senses and she felt like she wanted to slap his face. “You’re taking advantage of me!”

While she was angry, there was still a question in her mind.

Why would the fatty that desired her suddenly change his attitude towards her? This change was so quick.

“Do you know how much those bottles of wine cost? Do you know how much those cakes cost? In order to make you famous, I have stalled my business for half a month,” Danny said with a sneer. It was like his goddess was worth less than a blade of grass now. “I’m already showing you respect by only charging you 200,000! And you still want to haggle with me?”

Eve took in a deep breath and forced herself to speak in a soft tone, “Danny, I’ll return you the 200,000. Can you give me some time?”

Eve’s eyes were full of tears again, and it made him feel excited again.

“Three days. I want 200,000 in three days. Otherwise, I’ll see you in court.”

Seeing that he was getting soft, Eve then tugged at his thick arm despite her disgust and asked, “Why are you so angry? Can you tell me?”

Her hand was soft and delicate, and he almost would have fallen again. But when he remembered those pictures that Luna had shown him, his emotions instantly cooled down as he said, “Ms. Brooke, please have some self-respect!”

“Danny, what do you want me to do?” Two streams of tears fell from her face. “You said that no matter what happens, you would stand by my side. What’s with the change? Because the art exhibition was a failure?”

She was the one that had copied other people’s artwork, she was the one that had faked everything, but in the end, it was like she was the one being wronged.

Even the emcee who was standing next to them couldn’t help but let out a sneer.

As expected, someone like Eve didn’t care about morality.

“I forced you? You’re the one who forced me, right?” Danny grabbed at Eve’s wrist, and his eyes terrified her. “You keep on playing games with me every day because you know I like you. I gave you so much money, but you ended up with someone else instead! Eve Brooke, don’t you know you’re very disgusting? What kind of young lady is this? You’re just a b*tch that everyone can have a piece of!”

Eve didn’t expect that Danny would say something like that, and her tears instantly flowed as she said, “What did you say? Say it one more time?!”

“You know better than I do about what I said. Get her out of my sight!”

Eve’s arms were grabbed by two men, and she finally exploded as she yelled, “Let me go! I will walk myself out! I am the second daughter of the Brooke family! Aren’t you afraid that you can’t run your business here ever again?!”

Danny waved his hand, telling the two men to leave Eve alone. “Naturally, I wouldn’t provoke the Brooke family. But you better watch yourself with what you do!”

Eve was merely sobbing, and couldn’t even form a complete sentence anymore.

How dare a social climber like him speak to her like that?

“Ms. Brooke, please go home! We commoners can’t be compared to you. We still have to work to earn a living!” With that, he disappeared from Eve’s sight.

That woman really knew how to disguise herself. Even he was almost completely fooled.

Luckily, they had signed a contract before this. If not, he would have lost everything.

He wanted all 200,000 no matter what!
