CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: THESE TWO STUBBORN WOMEN—FINE, HE’LL SERVE THEM INSTEAD

The assistant led her to a beautiful woman in a black cheongsam, with her long hair elegantly pinned up, exuding an aura of nobility, surrounded by several people socializing.

"Mrs. Spencer, Attorney Nolan is here," the assistant bowed respectfully.

The noblewoman turned around elegantly with a glass of wine in hand, her gaze first landing on her son, surprised to find him here as well.

It seems he’s very nervous about this young woman.

Since he isn’t proactively bringing her home to meet the family, I’ll have to take the initiative to get to know her.

Chase Spencer mentioned that this woman once tied his son up naked on the bed; what kind of woman would do such a thing?

I couldn’t believe my son might be a masochist, though I really don’t want to admit it...

Mrs. Spencer carefully assessed Summer Nolan, her figure is quite good, and she looks beautiful, but from her expression, one can see that this girl is very arrogant and ambitious.

Obviously not the type for being a virtuous wife and good mother.

"..." Summer Nolan felt a strong oppressive aura from the presence of the noblewoman, a powerful presence that seemed hard to communicate with.

The assessing gaze made her somewhat uneasy.

Shouldn’t matters of work be handled by Chairman Spencer?

Why is it his wife?

"Hello, Mrs. Spencer, are you here to discuss the legal representation for the corporation?" she asked.

"Yes, I am." Mrs. Spencer said with a smile, it seems my son didn’t tell her about my identity, so I’ll test her first.

"How old is Attorney Nolan this year?"

"Does this relate to my work?" Summer Nolan raised an eyebrow.

"I just thought you look very young, I wonder if you’re mature and steady enough?"

Elias Spencer stood silently on the side; as long as his mother didn’t say anything too excessive, he allowed her to probe as she pleased.

The other’s concern is quite reasonable, and Summer Nolan wasn’t intimidated by that powerful presence, smiling lightly, she said,

"Although I’m only 25 this year, I have handled several hundred cases, including quite a few million-dollar lawsuits."

Mrs. Spencer nodded slightly, then said, "Being a lawyer requires some cunning means; Attorney Nolan is so formidable, you must have several tactics, right?"

She dislikes those with too much cunning, as they tend to do bad things, and the Spencer family, with their official background, couldn’t involve a daughter-in-law who burdens the family.

Summer Nolan felt that she was being personally targeted and laughed,

"Mrs. Spencer, I don’t deny I have tactics, but what I do is all reasonable and legal. As for minor matters, they aren’t worthy of my attention.

I’m someone who never offends unless offended."

Elias Spencer thought she’d leave arrogantly, but surprisingly, she handled it well.

Mrs. Spencer raised a brow slightly at her words; she’s really smart, without any flattery, unlike those around her, who only aim to please.

"What does Attorney Nolan like to do in her free time?" she asked again.

"Sorry, does that concern my work?" Summer Nolan asked, is Mrs. Spencer probing into my privacy?

She’s never encountered such a troublesome partner.

"Of course, it matters. This contract is for at least a year; we’ll be interacting frequently. If we don’t get along, it might cause disputes within the cooperation." she said.

Summer Nolan nodded. Well, that reason is reasonable:

"I’m usually very busy with work; on weekends, I spend time at home with my mother or go shopping and occasionally work out."

"Let’s add each other on WeChat then, find time for an outing; I enjoy shopping and working out as well." Mrs. Spencer said, taking out her phone and bringing up her QR code to hand over.

She was startled; it’s the first time she’d arranged leisure with a partner. She’s always strictly business-oriented, with no personal emotions in her work.

"Our group offers annual agency fees up to the millions, not including trials. If Attorney Nolan isn’t interested, I’ll go to Attorney Spencer instead." she said.

Summer Nolan heard the millions involved and immediately took out her phone, opening WeChat to scan her code,

"I think Mrs. Spencer should schedule with me; Attorney Spencer is male, if you frequently meet him, it might lead to misunderstandings with Chairman Spencer."

Mrs. Spencer saw her eyes light up at the mention of the millions; this girl is really greedy!

She glanced at her son, whose expression indicated he was aware of her money-mindedness, sighing to observe other aspects of her.

"Let’s go to the deck and have a few drinks." Alcohol resembles character; Mrs. Spencer wants to see how she behaves when drunk.

Summer Nolan frowned, having no choice but to follow, pulling the man beside her to slow down and asking softly, "Are all the Spencers this difficult to get along with?"

"She values manners and rules, prefers gentle personalities, so restrain your temperament." Elias Spencer advised her.

"We’re just working together, not her future daughter-in-law. If she is this hard to please, you handle this case; I won’t take it.

I also don’t lack her individually." Summer Nolan crossed her arms, speaking softly.

Mom is willing to interact and understand her, can’t let her withdraw.

"Do you know how many wealthy connections Mrs. Spencer has? As long as you please her, she can introduce you to million-dollar lawsuits in no time." Elias Spencer poked her head.

"Strange, when did you become so kind-hearted?" Summer Nolan glanced at him suspiciously.

"I have too many cases on hand, overwhelmed; you’re already on board, seize the opportunity."

That’s true, already on board, can’t disembark now, idle or not—she silently sighed and went to deal with the noblewoman further.

Rich people are indeed pretentious.

Once at the deck on this floor, several lounge areas were set up, with tables covered in various wines and fruit plates.

The cruise ship had already left the harbor, offering an endless view of the ocean.

Sitting here, with a clear sight and ocean breeze, drinking wine adds another layer of enjoyment.

Mrs. Spencer elegantly folded her legs after sitting, glancing over the table’s wine selection, with an upper-class demeanor, she ordered: "Open that bottle of Louis XIII."

This wine has a high alcohol content, easily causing intoxication.

"Hmm, I’m indifferent to what I drink." Summer Nolan folded her legs elegantly, leaning on the single sofa, smiling but deliberately sat still.

She’s never humbled herself to serve a partner, often others ask favors from her, pleasing her instead.

Mrs. Spencer looked at her shocked, shouldn’t she pour the wine? This woman’s posture is loftier than mine?

Summer Nolan kept her smile, sitting calmly.

Elias Spencer watched the two women at a standstill and was impressed, eventually opening the wine himself, pouring them the drinks—

Summer Nolan only then picked up her wine glass, "First meeting, so I’ll toast to Mrs. Spencer."

Mrs. Spencer sipped a small amount and remarked, "Toasting requires finishing the drink."

Seeing her sip only a small amount, she also drank just a small bit, then stood up with a smile and said,

"Apologies Mrs. Spencer, I’m usually approached to handle cases, those coming to me usually flatter me. I’ve never humbled myself for a client.

Your agency, I’m not desperate for it.

If Mrs. Spencer treats me as a friend, mutual respect should be expected; then we can comfortably sit and chat further. If Mrs. Spencer looks down on me, staying here becomes self-deprecation."
