A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 183

The judge frowned and asked, "Do I?"

"Yes!" Audrey nodded, "Can you please open the contract in your hands and show it to us?"

The judge curiously opened the contract. When he saw what was on the first page, his expression changed slightly.

When Wendy and Dane saw the judge's expression, they were puzzled because they didn't know what the judge saw and why his expression suddenly changed.

Then, the judge projected the page on the big screen.

The content of the page was shown on the big screen.

However, everyone was stunned when they saw the title of the content.

The title was "Contract of Patent Transfer".

Wendy was so shocked that she stood up and stared at the contract. She could not believe it was a transfer contract.

'How could it be a transfer contract?'

In the terms below the title, it was clearly written that the Munn Group would unconditionally transfer its R&D patents of the skincare products to the Stanton Group.

Unconditional transfer!

These words made Wendy furious.

"No way! It's not possible for our company to unconditionally transfer the patents of the skincare products to the Stanton Group. This contract must be fake. It must be that they deliberately framed us!" Wendy shouted.

The judge frowned and knocked down the gavel, "Plaintiff, watch yourself."

Dane quickly stood up.

"Your Honor, there must be something wrong with this contract. It must have been swapped. Otherwise, we wouldn't have presented it as a piece of evidence!" Dane glared at the one who was opposite him. "And it was only the defendant that could have the chance to swap it."

Audrey smiled and stood up.

"Your Honor, this contract has been put on records, and it has also undergone the transfer procedures in the relevant departments. We will immediately know whether it is fake or not only after checking it."

The judge nodded.

Then, the judge ordered his assistant to call the patent department. Since the case was on an open trial, the whole process of the phone call was also audible to everyone.

After getting through to the patent department, all the patents in the contract were verified.

Eventually, the employee of the patent department said, "We have finished the verification. The eleven patents mentioned just now have indeed been transferred. Moreover... the transfer has been completed in September last year."

Hearing this, everyone on the court was shocked.

Wendy screamed in disbelief, "No way, our company has never done any patent transfer. Who are you? You must have been bribed by Blair!"

The employee of the patent department said seriously on the phone, "Madam, everything I said can be found on the patent network. As a government official, I can't accept anyone's bribe. What you said is an insult to my personality."

The judge's assistant said something comforting to the employee before he hung up.

When the phone call was over, the judge looked at Wendy, "Ms. Wendy, now all the evidence proves that the invention patent has already been transferred from the Munn Group to the Stanton Group. I wonder if your side has any evidence to prove that the patent still belongs to the Munn Group?"

Wendy slumped onto the chair.

What else could she have now? The evidence she had just used was the only one that could prove her claim. But now... she was suddenly told that the evidence was useless at all.

Wendy glared at Dane, "Mr. Dane, you said you were confident. Why are you silent now?"

Dane was speechless.

Now the patent department had confirmed that all the patents had been transferred to the Stanton Group. It was useless no matter what the Munn Group did.

Audrey requested to speak.

The judge said, "Go ahead please."

Audrey smiled and stood up.

"Your Honor, although my client has obtained the relevant evidence for patents, the plaintiff has not returned the patent certificates to us. Therefore, I would ask you to announce that the plaintiff shall return all the patent certificates and release a statement on the public media to restore my client's innocence. Besides, she shall also make compensation for the damage to my client's mentality and reputation. It should be 11. 67 million."

Wendy couldn't say any words.

Blair, sitting next to Audrey, felt as though her heart was on a roller coaster.

She was thinking that her company would be collapsed just now. But soon after that, all the evidence came up against the Munn Group and the situation was turned upside down completely.

At this moment, she was still a little confused because she didn't even know why the cooperation contract had become a transfer contract.

Since Wendy had not provided any new evidence, and the patent department had made valid verification, all the patent certificates were already owned to the Stanton Group. The judge announced that the Munn Group had lost the lawsuit, and the specific compensation fee needed to be confirmed after the verdict was made.

Even when the judge announced that Wendy had lost the lawsuit, Blair was still dumbfounded.

After walking out of the court, Blair excitedly grabbed Audrey's arm, "Audrey, did we really win?"

Audrey smiled and said, "Yeah!"

Blair was so happy.

"We won! This is great! I thought we would lose. I didn't expect that we could win!"

She immediately called her father.

As soon as Blair finished the phone call, Wendy and her lawyers got out of the court, and her face was paled.

Blair walked over with a smug look on her face.

"Hey, look. It's Ms. Wendy? Why does she look so pale?"

Wendy glared at Blair with anger, "Don't be too smug. We will definitely sue you again. We won't let your conspiracy succeed."

Blair chuckled, "Ms. Wendy, all the evidence can prove that those patents now belong to our Stanton Group. So, please transfer them as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will sue you."

"How dare you!"

Wendy glared at Blair. She was almost trembling in anger.

However, all the evidence had proved the fact that the Munn Group had transgressed the Stanton Group. She was inexcusable.

Wendy deliberately crashed into Audrey walking past her.

But Audrey dodged as she quickly hooked Wendy's feet, so Wendy lost her balance and fell.

Dane was standing near Wendy. When she fell, she subconsciously grabbed his pants.
