CHAPTER 178: CHAPTER 178: TWO SCOUNDRELS PLANNING A TRAP FOR HER AND ELIAS SPENCER!

Stella Grant was stunned to hear his words; he really agreed? She thought he was forced by Mrs. Spencer to meet, and it was impossible for him to be interested in her.

Because when they met before, he didn’t take an interest in her!

"Can I know why you agreed?" she asked cautiously.

"Just simply looking for someone to marry." Elias Spencer said in a deep voice, picking up the newly poured red wine from the waiter and taking a sip.

Stella Grant was secretly delighted upon hearing his words... He’s looking for someone to marry?

It’s okay if he doesn’t like her now; she can marry into the Spencer Family first. The Spencer Family is the country’s top prestigious family. As long as she serves him well in bed, feelings would naturally develop, right?

At this moment, two more people entered through the restaurant entrance. It was Summer and her boyfriend; they immediately saw each other—

But it was just a brief glance before they both looked away. Ian Sterling’s reserved seat was in the middle, and as they sat down, he couldn’t help but glance at Elias Spencer and the woman opposite him.

"Who is Attorney Spencer dining with? That girl looks quite pretty; they make quite a handsome couple sitting together," he said deliberately.

"Probably his girlfriend."

Summer said softly, also turning to look at that woman. Indeed, she was beautiful, looked confident and elegant, unlike Iris Lynn who seemed timid and had an air of a white lotus.

If he found someone he likes, that’s a good thing, she would bless him.

Ian Sterling watched Summer’s expression, noticing she wasn’t jealous or upset. He slightly smiled; had she already let go of her ex-boyfriend?

The waiter served the dishes Elias Spencer ordered one by one. He picked up the chopsticks and deliberately served a dish to the woman opposite him, "Try the taste of the signature dish here?"

"Okay, Attorney Spencer, you should eat too..." Stella Grant was flattered, unable to believe he cared so much for her, even serving her food!

It was something she never dared to imagine.

She seized the opportunity to serve him a dish as well.

"Don’t call me Attorney Spencer from now on; it feels distant." Elias Spencer said while eating gracefully.

Stella Grant’s eyes shifted as she tentatively asked, "Can I call you Elias then?"

"Yes," he replied with a soft tone.

"Alright, I’ll remember it." She appeared gentle and obedient. Such a cool man would probably prefer someone docile and lively.

"I usually cook myself; my culinary skills are quite good. Would you like to come to my home tonight? I can cook for you to taste."

Cooking at home for someone is the best way to enhance feelings, much better than dining out. After eating, they can watch TV together, and perhaps even get closer.

She was very much looking forward to having relations with him—

"Tonight, I have a gathering with colleagues from the law firm; do you want to come?" Elias Spencer asked in a deep voice.

Stella Grant was shocked again, he wanted to introduce her to his colleagues? Wasn’t this equivalent to an official announcement? Did this mean he was quite satisfied with her?

Did she really have a chance to marry him?

"Of course, I’m willing!" She didn’t hide her happiness and liking for him.

"Dress nicely," Elias Spencer advised her only that.

"Okay, I understand, I definitely won’t disappoint you." Stella Grant nodded heavily, someone of his status would naturally want his partner to uphold his reputation.

Tonight, she must perform well.

The restaurant had soft music playing, and with people talking around, Summer couldn’t hear what the two on the other side were saying, only seeing them interacting harmoniously.

The woman seemed very happy.

Suddenly, Ian Sterling also served her a dish, recalling his father’s words from last night, he deliberately asked, "Summer... can you do me a favor and represent Summit in a case?"

Summer was stunned; why did he suddenly mention this? Did Sean Sterling say something to him last night?

Should she take the case?

"This case is really difficult to win..." she deliberately said.

"Does that mean there’s a chance to win?" Ian Sterling asked.

"I can try, but the legal fees won’t be low. Are you sure you want to continue appealing?"

"For Summit’s reputation, we must appeal. Name your price."

Summer’s eyes flickered, she extended three fingers... To gain his trust, she decided to take the case. If you don’t risk something, you won’t gain anything.

And while she was at it, she could earn a hefty fee from Summit and pay off all her debts.

"Three billion? Alright, as long as you can win the case, it’s no problem." Ian Sterling agreed immediately for the sake of restoring Summit’s reputation.

"Why didn’t you agree before? He wanted to know.

"The case is difficult, and at that time we were just ordinary friends. I wasn’t willing to waste my effort. Since now you’re my boyfriend and brought up this matter, I have to help even if it takes my effort," Summer said with a smile.

Ian Sterling felt even more trusting of her due to her words; his father was just overthinking—

-

In the afternoon, Summer informed everyone in the work group chat about treating them to drinks tonight.

An employee curiously asked in the group, "Attorney Nolan suddenly treating us to drinks, is there a happy event?"

"Took Summit’s three-billion-dollar case. If I didn’t treat, it wouldn’t make sense! Anyone available can come to White Horse Clubhouse, room 1020 tonight." She used this pretext to say.

"Attorney Nolan is amazing, three billion, we can’t even imagine!" one lawyer said admiringly.

Many employees praised her, promising to attend tonight. Seeing the group message, Iris Lynn was extremely jealous, wishing she could stomp her into the mud!

Showing off what?

Sooner or later, she’d pull her down from her pedestal!

Why wait? Isn’t tonight a perfect opportunity? Elias Spencer must also be going, right?

She immediately called Raymond Dawson, and after connecting, she said to him,

"Director Dawson, did you see the group message? Summer is treating the law firm to drinks tonight, shall we take action?"

They would definitely be more cautious now, how could they manage to get evidence by secretly photographing? The only way was to set them up.

"Alright, let’s do as you said." Raymond Dawson replied.

"Okay, will you come tonight, Director? I’m afraid I can’t handle it alone," Iris Lynn said worriedly.

"Of course I’ll be there. This time we must succeed, otherwise, it will be even harder to set them up in the future."

He said solemnly, knowing those two were shrewd. If they failed this time, they would surely suspect him and Iris Lynn.

So this time, it cannot fail!

-

At night.

Many employees from the law firm came tonight, filling up the luxurious large private room’s sofas, drinking, playing games, creating a lively atmosphere.

Raymond Dawson and Iris Lynn arrived first and had already secretly arranged everything, now just waiting for Summer and Elias Spencer to arrive.

"It’s already been over half an hour, why haven’t those two arrived? Are they not coming?" Iris Lynn whispered to the older man at her side.
