A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 18

After answering Audrey's text message, Melvin walked into Bryson's office.

Melvin said, "Mr. Bryson, are you looking for me?"

Bryson put down his phone.

"Did you see the news just now?"

"Mr. Bryson, what do you mean?"

"The results of the second trial between the Four Seasons Group and the QK Architects."

"I just heard that the Four Seasons Group lost the lawsuit, and ... it was suspected of breaking the law. Its deputy general manager of the branch office in Eastwood City has been arrested at court."

"Yes." Bryson lightly tapped his finger on the table. "The one in charge of this case is Harold."

Melvin instantly understood.

"Mr. Bryson, I'll look for a new consulting firm immediately."

"It's up to me to choose the consulting firm. You can arrange it!"

Bryson intended to choose the legal advisor personally.

Melvin really wanted to say that he could deal with this kind of thing without bothering Bryson.

Melvin replied respectfully, "Yes."

...

The president's office of the Four Seasons Group.

The atmosphere in the office was tense.

Julian stood by his desk, looking completely pale.

Sanford, Julian's father, was ashen with rage. He angrily threw the ashtray on the table at Julian.

Julian was unprepared and his forehead was smashed straight by the ashtray. Following Julian's painful roar, the ashtray landed at his feet and shattered with a crisp sound.

The ashtray left a bloody hole in Julian's forehead. Blood flowed out of the wound and dripped down his chin to the ground. However, Julian did not dare to move a single step. He stood there with his hands clenched into fists.

Among the information scattered on the ground, there was a picture of Tom and some others taking drugs in a private room of a bar. Julian also appeared in the picture.

Julian's forehead was bleeding, but it couldn't suppress Sanford's anger.

"Look at what you've done!" Sanford scolded angrily, "How dare you to take drugs? Our company has been completely disgraced by you."

Julian gritted his teeth as he explained, "Dad, I didn't."

"Who will believe that you didn't take drugs? Because of you, half of our partners stop cooperating with us. Our company's shares have fallen by the limit."

Julian couldn't retort.

It was an indisputable fact that he did appear in the private room at that time.

Sanford pointed at Julian's nose and said, "Make a statement immediately and go to the relevant authorities to test your blood. Then post your blood test report online."

"OK. I'll go right now."

When Julian came out of Sanford's office, Julian's assistant saw Julian's bleeding forehead and hurriedly came forward to press a napkin against Julian's wound.

Grim-faced Julian entered the elevator with his assistant.

"Where's Jasmine?" Julian immediately asked.

"After leaving the courthouse, she headed straight for the international airport. She has already left the country."

Julian angrily pushed the assistant's hand away and threw the napkin on his forehead onto the ground.

"Bastard, go after her. No matter where she escapes, you must catch her."

Jasmine had humiliated him so much that he absolutely couldn't let her go.

"I've already had some men to chase after her."

"And who is the lawyer for the QK Architects?"

"I have checked it. She's an overseas returnee. The name is Audrey Koch. She doesn't have any powerful background in the country."

"Well!" Julian smiled sinisterly, "Without a background, she still dares to offend me. Teach her a good lesson. There's no need for me to teach you how to do it, right?"

The assistant nodded sensibly.

"Mr. Julian, don't worry. I'll take care of it."

After dealing with it, Julian felt upset when he thought of the rumor online.

Damn it. He still had to go to an authoritative inspection agency.

...

Square Law Firm.

Audrey helped the QK Architects win the lawsuit against the Four Seasons Group.

As soon as the news was sent back to the firm, Freddy was overjoyed.

Mr. Gomez, the manager of the QK Architects, happily transferred the legal fares and paid the consult costs in advance for the second half of the year. Freddy received a large sum of money. How could he not be happy?

But Liana was furious.

There was clearly no turning point in this case. She thought that Audrey would definitely be defeated. Who knew that Audrey would find a way out? Furthermore, Audrey surprisingly won the case.

No sooner did Liana go to the bathroom when she heard two intern lawyers talking.

"Liana always said how difficult that case was. To my surprise, after Audrey took it over, she won so easily."

"You are right. Liana is so arrogant. Didn't you see her expression when she heard that Audrey won the lawsuit? Her face darkened."

"I also saw it. Liana always picks on me. Now, she is disgraced by Audrey. Let's see how she dares to be tyrannical in the law firm."

"No one else can be blamed for this. She only has herself to blame for being less competent."

Liana stormed in.

"You still have time to gossip here. Have you finished sorting out all the information I gave you?"

The two trainee lawyers were shocked when they saw Liana walk in.

"We'll get right on it."

After saying that, the two trainee lawyers quickly disappeared.

After they left, Liana's anger hadn't subsided.

When Liana thought that she would be inferior to Audrey, she became even angrier.

Liana happened to meet Susan Nash, Freddy's secretary, as she walked out of the bathroom.

When Susan saw Liana, she said, "Liana, the company will have a dinner party tonight. I'll send you the address later."

Liana was puzzled. "It is not the New Year, nor the middle of the end of the year. Why do we have a dinner party?"

"Because Audrey won the lawsuit, Mr. Steele said that we should have dinner together tonight to celebrate for Audrey."

...

Liana was overwhelmed by jealousy.

When she entered the company, she won her first lawsuit. But she wasn't celebrated.

...

Audrey had planned to visit Kylee at night, but she couldn't refuse the company's invitation for the dinner party. So, she called Kylee and told Kylee she would visit her another day.

Freddy booked a five-star restaurant.

This was quite different from the company's dinner party in the past.

As soon as Audrey came to the company, she won this battle. Freddy saw Audrey's infinite value. Of course, he had to give Audrey preferential treatment.

Audrey hitched a colleague's ride to the restaurant.

When she got out of the car, Audrey saw a familiar car in the parking lot.

It was a black Bentley Mulsanne.
