Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute novel Chapter 120

Everyone had left the courthouse. Starry and Isabella were going to have lunch to celebrate.

Then, Isabella thought of Sophie, she turned around and saw her standing there in a daze. It was obvious she was still in shock.

Izabella snorted and walked over to Sophie. "Scared? Why are you still standing here? Your bestie has lost the case and is being taken to prison. Aren't you going to notice her family?"

Sophie looked at Isabella and came to her senses. She looked awkward.

However, she dared not offend Isabella, gritted her teeth, and left with a livid face.

Isabella returned to Starry. "I will treat you to lunch. Today is such a success."

Starry didn't say no, she looked at Bentley. "Are you going with us, Bentley?"

"I'd love to."

Seeing that Bentley had agreed, Isabella said, "Then hurry up, it's getting late. I am hungry."

"Okay!"

"It's your treat."

They left the courthouse, got in their cars in appointed to meet at the Dapper Star.

After Sophie left the court, she went straight to the Scott family.

Two months earlier, the notice had been sent to the Scott family by the court.

Iris Gibson also knew about the trial today.

Before Lucia left the house, she had told Iris not to be nervous about trial, and that Starry was just bluffing, she wouldn't actually fight the Scott family.

Iris thought that her words made sense and got relaxed.

When Sophie arrived at the Scott family, she was still having desserts.

Seeing that Sophie came back alone, Iris had a bad feeling. "Sophie, didn't you go to the trial with Lucia? Is it still going? Why are you back alone?"

"Mrs. Scott, Lucia has been detained. We lost the case, Starry refused to settle this out of court, she didn't even want Lucia's apology. All she wanted was for her to be sentenced."

As Sophie spoke, her voice became lower and lower. "Lucia's lawyer said that she would at least be sentenced to half a year in prison. Moreover, Starry has refused any kind of apology, which means she will be sentenced even longer. One or two years, maybe."

Hearing her words, Iris was dumbfounded. "You mean… Lucia is going to prison?"

Sophie looked bad. "Yes, Mrs. Scott."

"How is that possible I'm going to talk to Starry!"

Starry dared not stop her. She followed her and continued. "Mrs. Scott, the lawyer suggested that we should not see or talk to Starry for now, he said that the result has not been announced. Us going to see Starry at this time might make things worse."

Iris could not listen at all. "Stupid lawyer, he couldn't even win this case! Sophie, come with me, we're going to see Starry!"

Sophie couldn't talk Iris out of this and she couldn't just stay away. In the end, she had to follow Iris into the car.

When Iris broke into the private room, Isabella was making a toast to Bentley with a cup of cola.

The door was kicked open by Iris, who was followed by two staff working here. "Mrs. Scott, you can't…"

Iris could listen at all. As soon as she saw Starry, she rushed over.

Raising her hand, she was about to slap Starry in the face. However, before her hand fell on Starry's face, Bentley stopped her.

When he saw Iris with an angry look, Bentley wasn't scared at all. "Mrs. Scott, if you did slap my client in the face. I promise that your daughter will much stay longer in prison."

Iris was stunned by his words and her face changed. She withdrew her hand and looked at Starry. "How much money do you want?"

Isabella was pissed when she heard this. However, as soon as she was about to speak. Starry gave her a glance and she held back her words.

After all, Iris was her elder. If Isabella really said something and the Scott family told her parents, she would be scolded.

Starry raised her head and looked into Iris's eyes. "How much money do you think your daughter is worth, Mrs. Scott??

She smiled, then she looked at the purse that Iris was holding. "The Hermes in your hand should be worried over a million dollars, right? Miss Scott is the daughter of the Scott family, she should worth more than a purse, I suppose. But of course, if you think that's all she's worth, I have nothing to say."

Iris didn't know how to reply.

The purse in her hand was worth over a million, Lucia was her daughter, of course she worth more than just a purse. However, it would be degrading for Lucia to calculate her value with a purse.

To sum up, Starry didn't want money at all.

When Iris figured out that Starry was being sarcastic, her face turned even more livid. "I will give you ten million, withdraw the case and we will settle this out of court."

Starry smiled. "10 million dollars is a lot, but I don't think Miss Scott sis only worth three purses."

"What's more, no money can buy me this much of happiness."

After that, Starry picked up her bag and looked at Isabella. "Are you full?"

Isabella had been enjoying this and kept smiling. "I am."

Starry smiled and looked at Bentley, "You should be full as well."

Bentley smiled. "I am."

"I'm also full now, let's leave."

After that, Starry walked pass Iris and walked out of the private room.

It was the first time that Iris had been so humiliated after she married into the Scott family.

"Starry, are you really going against the Scott family?"

Starry had walked to the door, took a look at Bentley and asked, "Bentley, I wonder if Mrs. Scott is threatening me."

"Don't worry, Miss Bradley. I have been putting my phone on recorder."

"You are indeed a professional."

Isabella couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Scott, if you are so free, might as well go see your daughter. She might be frightened in prison now."

Iris was so angry that she was trembling all over. "Miss Baxter, is this how you were taught to speak to your elder?"

"My elder? You?"

Isabella snorted and followed Starry and Bentley out of the private room.

Not many people knew that Starry had sued Lucia. However, Isabella posted a tweet which implied it.

Although she didn't point out who exactly Starry had sued, everyone had figured it out.

Soon, the news that Lucia had lost the case was spread all over.

Shortly after, Izabella posted another tweet. "Wanting to use money to solve every problem? Sorry? We have money."

Iris saw this tweet and was so angry she couldn't fall sleep all night.
