Getting Him Hooked: Mr. Freeman’s Indifferent Sinner Wife
Chapter 572

Chapter 572

Olivia shook her head. "Nothing."

After changing their clothes, they drove to the courthouse.

"Ms. James."

As soon as they got out of the car, they met Pitt.

"Pitt, have they arrived yet?"

"Yes. Let's go in." Pitt walked as he spoke. "However, I don't think we can settle things today."

"Why?"

Pitt sneered. "I know my junior's personality. Even if his supervisor forces him to settle this matter outside the court, he won't. To him, I'm his forever rival." Olivia smiled calmly. "It doesn't matter. With you around, I'm not afraid of facing this lawsuit."

She sincerely meant it.

By the time the three entered the conference room, two of TR's representatives were already sitting inside.

Upon seeing them, the representing lawyer Mr. Yates's smile faded. "Senior, although we suggested settling this matter, it doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."

"Then, why do you want to make peace? Don't you think it's humiliating?"

"Oh, that's none of your business."

Olivia glanced at the two people silently. "Mr. Yates, we'd better cut to the chase. What are your settlement conditions?"

Mr. Yates smiled, pushed a copy of the document toward Olivia, and said, "There are only two conditions. First, your atelier should apologize to TR publicly and admit to plagiarism."

Then, he held up two fingers. "The second is easier. You were supposed to pay us thirty million, but we are now reducing it to two million. Isn't it a great deal?"

Olivia did not even look at the document before she pushed it back.

"It seems TR doesn't sincerely want to settle this problem. I don't think it's necessary to discuss this any further."

"Thirty million to two million. We've already saved you twenty-eight million. Isn't that enough?" Mr. Yates scoffed. "Ms. James, don't learn from my seniors. Being greedy will bring you greater trouble." Although she knew early on that TR would not sincerely want to settle things, Olivia was still surprised and disgusted to hear this offer.

It was not a settlement. That was a deliberate attempt to disgust her.

"Mr. Yates, no matter how much money you try to claim from us, I won't pay you a penny."

Olivia stood up, glanced at him coldly, and said slowly, enunciating each word, "Forget asking me to apologize to TR. That's out of the question!" "Jennie, Pitt, let's leave."

Mr. Yates did not stop her. He waved at her and said, "I'll see you in court. The next time I see you, I'll make you walk out of court crying." Olivia stopped and looked back at him. "Then, tell your boss on my behalf that I'll fight him till the end, no matter what he wants to do to me." With that, she held Jennie's hand and walked out of the room.

"Pheebs, that was awesome back there. That was the first time I've seen you act like that in three years of knowing you."

Olivia suddenly grabbed Jennie and leaned against her.

"Pheebs, are you alright?"

"I... My legs are weak..."

"Pheebs, you were so firm just now..."

Olivia wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. "They were trying to bully us. Of course I couldn't let them see our weak side." She did not want Mr. Yates to report back and say that she was trembling with fear and let that man laugh at her. "What are you afraid of?"

"The people behind them are sneaky, and they might come up with something despicable. I'm afraid they will ruin our atelier." At this time, Pitt patted his chest and said, "Ms. James, don't be afraid. With me around, he cannot win."

Olivia took a deep breath. "I'll put my hopes on you, then."

"Don't worry."

After the three separated, Olivia sat in the car's passenger seat and sighed.

This so-called settlement outside court was clearly John making fun of her. She was annoyed.

"Pheebs, I'll drive you home first. Then, I have to go somewhere else."

"Where are you going?"

"Blind date. My mother found out about the atelier and got me three blind dates overnight. I couldn't refuse to meet them." Olivia gave her a look of sympathy. "Why don't you drop me by the roadside, then? I will take a taxi home." "Okay. Be careful."

Once she got out of the car, a Mercedes pulled over by the roadside. A tall figure got out of it and approached her.
