EX-husband Groveling to Me novel Chapter 52

It was winter in J City in December, and the case of Tina's online rumour about Suny a month ago had also gone to court.

The day of the trial happened to be the 3rd of December, the weather was not very good, but Suny was in a good mood.

Tina, however, was not in a good mood. She originally thought that Suny only wanted money, and when the lawyer's letter reached her at first, she did not care, but she did not expect that Suny would not move afterwards.

She still laughed at it, but short after that, she had to face the trial.

It was then that she became nervous, but she still didn't take the matter seriously and approached Austin to resolve the matter, but Austin not only didn't help her, but also told her not to mess with Suny again.

Tina didn't believe that Suny could do anything to her. It was just that things had gone a bit too far in the first place, and now the whole case would be broadcast live on the internet, and she naturally couldn't be in a good mood when she thought that the whole internet knew about her.

Suny hadn't seen Tina for almost half a month, and originally thought that she had restricted, but she didn't expect to get a glare from her just as she passed by.

Suny looked at Owen beside her, "Secretary Owen, you know, I'm not short of money."

It was the first time that Owen had seen someone say this so plainly without causing offense, and he instantly understood what Suny meant: "I will try my best to get the judge to sentence the detention."

Suny smiled, "Thank you."

After saying that, Suny sat down at the plaintiff's table, while Tina was at the defendant's table opposite her.

Owen was best at lawsuits related to reputation, and Suny had spent such a large sum of money to hire him, so naturally this lawsuit was exciting.

When she heard the judge's verdict, Tina finally panicked: "Wait! I, I can pay for the damages! Any amount of money will do!"

Tina's representative lawyer followed suit, "Your Honour, I think we can negotiate with the plaintiff."

"Sorry, my client will not accept any negotiation."

In the end, the judge made a final decision, detaining Tina for five days and compensating Suny for moral damages, loss of reputation and other damages totalling more than 18,000.

Suny was satisfied with the result, she had wanted to take care of Tina for a long time, but if Tina had to come up against her, then don't blame her for being ungracious.

Five days was not a long time, but for Tina, who had been pampered since she was a child, five days inside the detention centre, well, she would certainly never forget it.

"Miss Holland, I'm sorry, I did my best."

At Owen's apology, Suny smiled, "You are modest, I'm satisfied with this result, although it could have been sentenced for longer, but never mind, I don't have so much time to waste."

Owen sighed with relief, "Thank you, Miss Holland."

Suny looked up at him, "Want to have lunch together?"

"Sure."

As the two of them had just walked out of the courthouse, Grace walked over in a huff, "You hurry up and tell the judge that we'll settle privately!"

Suny gave Grace a faintly sidelong glance, "Are you too old to heard my claim clearly in court just now?"

She snorted, "Besides, what can you do to me?"

Grace looked at Suny in front of her, feeling that she was different.

Suny would never refute anything she said before, but now she refuted and was looking at her with a mock.

Grace was so angry: "You! What are you so proud of? As long as I talk to Austin, your shitty company within a month will close down."

"Oh, then I'll wait."

Suny didn't want to dwell on this vicious old lady, she glanced at Owen, "Let's go."

Grace was completely dumbfounded by the anger, and when she saw Owen next to Suny, she suddenly sneered, "So you got a lawyer boyfriend. Wait and see, I'll go and ask Austin to take care of you now!"

Suny frowned, she disliked the Johnson family slandering her.

Just before she could say anything, Owen had already taken the first step to warn Grace: "Old Lady Smith, this is the entrance to the court, I have recorded your words just now, I can totally sue you for defamation and insulting my client Miss Holland!"

Grace's face froze, she looked at Suny and then at Owen, in the end she could only walk away in anger.

Suny withdrew her eyes and walked straight ahead.

She didn't put Grace in her eyes at all.

Suny's reputation case received a lot of attention from the majority of netizens. When Suny and Austin had just gotten divorced, how much heat was generated by Tina's online rumours of her cheating, how much heat was generated by today's case.

When Suny initially issued a statement on her personal social account, many people thought that Suny was just a thunderclap.

However after nearly two months, things have almost faded away, and today the case was going straight to court.

Suny also sued those marketing numbers from earlier, but the trial started later than Tina.

Suny refused any possibility of settlement, and once the news of Tina's detention got out, the marketing numbers started to panic.

The marketing numbers were always concerned about their own popularity. When Tina gave them money, they originally thought that Suny was just an abandoned wife of a rich family and could do anything to them.

But now that even Tina had been detained, there was no chance of reconciliation for them.

Suny's name was once again in the hot search, but this time the marketing numbers only retweeted it and didn't dare to say anything more nonsense.

Grace came to KLOC straight after leaving the court, and as soon as Ivan saw Grace, he knew what it was about.

If it was usual, he would have just let her go.

But since Austin and Suny had divorced, Ivan did not dare to take anything that involved Suny lightly.

As soon as Grace came out of the lift, Ivan stopped her, "Madam, you're here."

"Where's Austin?"

"Mr. Johnson is busy, why don't you wait?"

Grace had suffered a defeat at Suny's side and was now holding her breath: "I have something urgent."

"Madam, if you are here about Miss Tina, I advise you not to mention it to Mr. Johnson."

Grace's face changed, "What are you babbling about? Tina is Austin's sister! His sister is in trouble now, and you're telling me not to mention it to him?"

Ivan was in a dilemma, but at this moment the door to the office pushed itself open.

Austin stood in the doorway, his eyes falling on Grace, his face cold: "What are you doing here?"

Grace glared at Ivan, "Austin, Tina -"

"I won't care about Tina's affairs."

Without waiting for her to finish, Austin directly stated his position, after finishing, he paused for a moment, "Also, in the future, you should not mess with Suny again."

Grace met Austin's eyes and her whole body trembled, "You, you-"

"Ivan, send Madam back."

Austin, however, did not give Grace a chance and directly let Ivan take Grace away.

After saying that, he crossed over Grace and walked away.
