CHAPTER 166: CHAPTER 166: RUIN HER REPUTATION AND DESTROY HER COMPLETELY!

Summer Nolan turned her head, gritting her teeth as she looked at him. Did he think she would beg him?

"I wonder if your boyfriend would break up with you if he found out we’ve secretly done it so many times?" Elias Spencer whispered in her ear, with a gloating expression on his face.

"Go ahead and tell him. I will never forgive you, nor will I be with you in this life." Summer said seriously and earnestly.

Elias maintained a calm expression, silently drinking his porridge, feeling quite uncomfortable inside—

It was now almost nine o’clock; Ian Sterling should have gone to his family corporation by now, right? Summer glanced outside through the peephole and, seeing no one, opened the door and walked out.

Elias followed her, watching her move about stealthily even just to go out, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Just as they were about to head to the elevator, the door a few meters away next to them suddenly opened with a "click—!"

Ian had not yet stepped out when he saw Summer and Elias standing outside. He intentionally chose this time to leave late to accompany Vivian Nolan for clothes shopping, hoping she’d return to her own home.

"Let’s go...uh..." The petite Vivian standing behind hadn’t seen her sister outside as the tall man in front blocked her view entirely.

Before she finished speaking, Ian, feeling tense, suddenly pushed her, causing Vivian to lose her balance and fall to the ground.

Her rear hit the floor painfully.

What was wrong with him? Why push her suddenly?

"Why are you heading out so late today?" Ian asked as he closed the door, not turning back to look at the woman behind him.

Summer felt a bit guilty, not having heard the woman’s voice from his room, she forced a stiff smile, "The alarm didn’t go off; I overslept."

The most shocked and with the darkest expression was Elias, seeing Ian open the door next to him and realizing he lived there too, as if struck by lightning!

When did this man move over here?

Living so close, weren’t they sneaking around every night?

"Attorney Spencer, what are you doing here?" Ian just realized and eyed him seriously.

Suppressing her sense of guilt, Summer cleverly replied, "He came to pick me up; we have a collaborative case to handle together."

"Would you like me to accompany you?" Ian asked.

"It’s a matter of client confidentiality, can’t bring outsiders... Let’s have dinner together tonight," she calmly replied.

Seeing her natural expression, Ian didn’t suspect anything, "Alright."

He walked over, asserting his presence by holding her hand, and deliberately said, "Come to my place tonight; I’ll cook for you... We can go grocery shopping together for things you like."

"Sure." Summer agreed readily, even taking the initiative to hold onto his arm, just to upset someone with the last name Spencer, hoping it would drive him away.

Elias glanced at her with dark eyes, the veins on the back of his hand pulsing, struggling to endure... He clearly heard Vivian’s voice just now; how could this woman be so deaf?

"Young Master Sterling, I think I heard a woman’s voice inside your room just now?"

Ian’s heart skipped a beat but he kept calm, "Attorney Spencer, what a joke, how could there be a woman in my room? You must have heard wrong."

"I heard it quite clearly; she sounded quite young. Why don’t you open the door and let us have a look?" Elias aimed to expose him.

Did he really hear it?

Ian’s other hand twitched slightly; there’s absolutely no way he’d let him in, so he had to find another excuse:

"I have urgent matters to handle this morning, unfortunately no time to waste on Attorney Spencer. Once I’m free, you’re welcome to visit. I’m not a stingy person."

With that, he led Summer to the elevator.

Summer looked puzzled—Elias claimed there was a woman in Ian’s house, did he really hear it?

She couldn’t help but glance at Ian; seeing him so composed, he didn’t seem like someone who’d casually bring women home. It must be Elias trying to smear him, right?

-

In the morning, as Iris Lynn was sending documents to a client, she happened to see Summer sitting with a middle-aged man inside a café, chatting and laughing.

Humph, looked quite suspicious at first glance!

Her eyes flashed, instantly concocting a plan to tarnish Summer’s reputation, to completely ruin her!

And to make Attorney Spencer despise her, never deal with her again.

"This time, I must destroy you; don’t even think about seducing Attorney Spencer again." Iris sneered, immediately heading to a nearby pharmacy to buy some things, and then secretly entered the café.

Painstakingly spending three months’ salary, she bribed a waiter to add something to Summer’s coffee...

Summer had no idea Iris was there, diligently discussing the case with a client, unaware of any problem in the coffee just delivered by the waiter.

She took a sip and continued discussing the case with the client.

Within ten minutes, she felt a blazing fire erupt inside her, along with an unexplainable desire for men. She quickly realized someone had set her up!

Her gaze turned sharp as she looked at the middle-aged man in front of her. Was it him?

"Attorney Nolan, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" The man asked, looking at her.

"Mr. Forest, do you know the consequences of offending me? Don’t think just because I’m your lawyer, you must win this case!" Summer retorted angrily.

"Attorney Nolan, what are you talking about? How did I offend you? We were conversing smoothly just now. If something I said upset you, do tell me directly!" The man replied sternly, feeling a bit irritated.

"Did you bribe someone here to tamper with my coffee?" She furiously inquired.

The man chuckled, somewhat speechless,

"My case’s hearing is soon; do you think I’d risk offending you now? What would I gain by doing that?

Besides, you’re not even my type; I have only respect for you and absolutely no other intentions! Believe it if you will; if not, I can leave right now.

However, before leaving, I can help call your friends to look after you."

Hearing his sincere words, Summer ruled him out as a suspect, quickly scanning her surroundings, finding no suspicious individuals...

Just who is plotting against me?

"Attorney Nolan, shall I help you get a friend to come over?" Mr. Forest asked, noticing her face turning redder, reluctant to leave her alone here.

If something happened, who would handle his case?

"No need, I misjudged you earlier; my apologies." She expressed regretfully.

"It’s alright. Reacting so quickly and suspecting me is understandable. Attorney Nolan, is there someone you’ve offended?" The man curiously asked.

"Offending people is quite common in our line of work." Summer, holding her forehead with one hand, tried to stay clear-headed. She said this, but internally, she suspected someone familiar.

Rarely did she face revenge from cases.

"What should be done now? Can you return by yourself?" Mr. Forest queried again.

"Could you help me get home? I’m feeling too dizzy to drive myself," she admitted.
