Winter came to Juanton City in December. The lawsuit against Tiffany, who spread rumors about Scarlett on the Internet more than a month ago, began.

It was on December 3, not a sunny day, but Scarlett was in a good mood.

Tiffany was anxious. She had thought Scarlett just wanted money. When she received the letter from Scarlett's lawyer, she didn't care, and then Scarlett didn't do anything else. Tiffany even laughed at her in front of her friends. However, soon after that, she received a summons.

She then began to feel nervous but didn't think it was a big deal. She went to Raymond for help, but he refused. Moreover, he told her not to provoke Scarlett again.

Tiffany didn't believe that Scarlett could do anything to her, but she caused big trouble for Scarlett, and now the trial would be broadcast live on the Internet. Thinking that so many people would know her, Tiffany couldn't be in a good mood.

Scarlett hadn't seen Tiffany for nearly half a month, thinking that Tiffany might have learned a lesson. However, Tiffany glared at her just as she passed by.

Scarlett raised her eyebrows, looking at Gary beside

her. "Mr. Baker, you know, I'm not short of money."

Gary had never seen someone else so arrogant but not annoying before. He instantly understood what Scarlett meant. "I'll try my best to send her to prison." Scarlett smiled. "Thank you."

After saying that, Scarlett sat in the plaintiff's seat, while Tiffany was in the defendant's seat opposite her.

Gary specialized in the cases of reputation infringement. Scarlett had spent so much money on hiring him. He indeed did a great job.

When she heard the judge's verdict, Tiffany was terrified. "Wait! I ... I can compensate her! No matter how much she wants!"

Tiffany's lawyer hurriedly said, "Your Honor, I think we can negotiate with the plaintiff."

"Sorry, my client won't accept any settlement."

Finally, Tiffany was sentenced to five days. Scarlett was awarded 18,000 dollars for emotional injury and reputational damage.

Scarlett was satisfied with the result. She had wanted to teach Tiffany a good lesson for a long time. It was Tiffany who gave her the chance.

Five days were not long or short, but for Tiffany, who had been pampered since childhood, it would be unforgettable.

"Ms. Reed, I'm sorry. I tried my best."

Hearing Gary's apology, Scarlett smiled. "Mr. Baker, you're so modest. I'm content with the result.

Although she deserves a harsher sentence, I don't have time to waste on her. Forget it."

Gary sighed with relief. "Thank you, Ms. Reed."

Scarlett looked up at him. "Would you like to have lunch with me?"

"My pleasure."

They had just walked out of the court when Jean came over furiously. "Hurry up and tell the judge that we'll settle it out of court!"

Scarlett raised an eyebrow and glanced at Jean calmly. "Mrs. Shaw, are you just too old to hear what I said in court?"

She chuckled. "Besides, even if I refuse, what can you do with me?"

Jean stared at Scarlett in front of her. Scarlett looked the same as before, but Jean felt she had changed.

Whatever she said before, Scarlett didn't retort, but now Scarlett did. What was more, Scarlett laughed at her.

Jean was so angry that her face turned livid. "You! What are you so proud of? As long as I tell Raymond, he'll bring down your company within a month."

"Oh, then I'll wait."

Scarlett didn't want to tangle with this vicious old

woman, looking at Gary. "Mr. Baker, let's go to lunch."

Jean went crazy. Seeing Gary next to Scarlett, she suddenly sneered. "No wonder you're so bold! Do you think you can do anything with the help of your boyfriend? Just you wait! I'll ask Raymond to get even with you!"
