Chapter 295 - Be smart and make the right decision. (2/2)
”Tips..? I don't need any tips, Mr. Li.”
”Miss. Mikayla... don't you know why it's your name suing the Shen company and not the company? And don't you know why they gave you a newbie lawyer now instead?”
”....” Mikayla did not reply back.
”All this... is just for some publicity. If you win the case... that is unlikely, but let's just say IF... you get the money, and your company gets rich. And if you lose the case... which is 1000% the case at this moment, your company doesn't get damaged. They can just fire you and say that you sue the SHYNE company by yourself and they have nothing to do with the decision.”
”What makes you think I won't win the case?”
”You must be really stupid to think that you can win the case. Don't you see, whether you win or lose, the company still benefits? You know very well whether those designs were yours or you stole it.”
Kris threw a file onto the table.
”We have evidence of you taking money from the dead witness. We have a video of you making contact with him. Timestamps show when you submitted the designs.
Even with that, the original designers also use real-time recording when they design... because they use the software. That already proved the months of time they used to design it whereas you suddenly and magically designed this... in a week?”
”...” Mikayla was lost for words. Her lawyer said that those were cleared from the system. How did Mr. Li obtain them? ”What.. what do you want me to do?”
”As I said before, I don't want you to do anything. I am just here to give you some tips.”
”What is your tip?”
”Be smart and make the right decision.”
Mikayla looked at the pile of evidence on the table.
”You have a live TV appearance tonight... drop your charges and tell everyone the truth.” Kris suggested.
”And if I do?”
”I think the correct question is if you don't... then what? Well, let's just say... when I take you down, you'll wish you were dead.” Kris spoke. ”You're still young... one small mistake and you can still rise from it.”
”He'll... he'll kill me if I do that.”
”Who?”
”...” Mikayla was scared. ”I won't tell you unless you get me out of the country after I go live.”
”Done.” Kris nodded at Keso.
”Mike.... Mike Zhao.” Mikayla stuttered. ”He... he said he'll only marry me if I can win this case.”
”Does he know your pregnant?” Kris asked.
”You... how did you know?”
”You kept touching your stomach... does he know?”
”No.. I was going to tell him later.”
”Don't. He's engaged with the daughter of the Bai family... you think he would risk all that for a nobody? He wouldn't care if your pregnant or not.”
Mikalya started crying. ”He.. he said he'll leave her for me.”
Kris rolled his eyes. 'Stupid woman... thank god his Lena is not like this.'
”Go live on the show and afterward, Keso here will personally escort you to a private jet that will take you somewhere out of the country. That's all I can do for you.”
Mikayla did not say anything afterward. Kris did not want to stay in this room longer with such a stupid woman. He stood up and started to leave.
”Wait...” Mikayla sniffed. ”Nina Long.... she, she has something planned for Miss. Shen.”
Kris stopped and turned around to look at her. ”What?”
”I... I don't know. But she was discussing it very long with Mike.”
Kris gave the broken woman once last glance before walking out. Keso closed the door and followed Kris out.
”I'll get the jet ready.” Keso spoke.
”What jet?” Kris hit the elevator button.
”You just said that...” Keso now understood what Kris meant. There was no jet.. Kris just lied to the woman. His boss was so mean.
