---- "T don't want to bully anyone, but the reputation of the company and my wife can't be tarnished. If you admit in front of everyone and these livestream cameras that today's actions were malicious, and apologize to Monica, I might not pursue this further." Then, in a voice only I could hear, he added, " Claire, this is the last chance I'm giving you to back down. Don't be foolish and just look around. Do you think anyone at the company still listens to you?" I shot back without hesitation. 'Samuel Crawford, you have no shame! You know perfectly well what the truth is!" The sycophants grew more agitated. "Mr. Crawford is being generous, but this crazy woman doesn't deserve it! Sue her into bankruptcy! Let her rant and rave all she wants- it'll be like a mad dog barking at the wind!" ---- "Yes, sue her to oblivion!" Just then, more than a dozen stretched Lincoln cars pulled up at the school entrance, occupying nearly half the street. "My God! What's happening? Am I dreaming!" "This... this... I've never seen anything like this in my life!" The car doors opened in unison, and figures in custom tailored suits emerged, radiating authority. The sycophants who had been ganging up on me moments ago now stood with wide eyes, faces frozen in shock. "That's Luminous Enterprise's Chief Operating Officer! He was just on the financial news channel the other day!" "That's Luminous Enterprise's Chief Legal Counsel! I heard he graduated from a top ---- university abroad. Right after graduation, he made a name for himself internationally with a cross-border lawsuit!" "T've seen that person on international forums. He is a renowned expert in talent management!" "My goodness, what day is today? I can't believe I'm seeing so many high-profile executives!" "Mr. Crawford must have called them here to support Mrs. Crawford!" Monica, who had been confused until now, became so excited at these words that her lips began to tremble. "Sam, you're doing so much for me, I'm truly touched!" I could not help but curve my lips into a mocking smile. With Samuel's position, he was not even qualified to shine these people's shoes. How could he possibly be the one to summon ---- them?
