Chapter 1544

"While his wife was pregnant and busting her chops for the company, he was off playing house with his mistress, attending prenatal appointments, and even had the nerve to pass off their love child to his wife. He's seriously the worst guy ever. I've seen it all now."

"I gotta say, as shameful as Carolina's actions are, they're kinda understandable this time."

“But it's pretty wild. I thought the only shot at winning the case was if Ms. Summers wasn't actually a blood relative of the Summers family. Turns out, it has nothing to do with Carolina. Hahaha..."

"And is it just me, or does anyone else feel a tiny bit of sympathy for Carolina despite all the screwed-up things she's done?"b2 "You're not alone!"

"You're not alone..."

That was human nature for you. No matter how terrible someone's past actions might have been, if they were the underdog now, people would forget how unforgivable their past behavior was.

Suddenly, a lot of people started feeling sorry for Carolina.

"Did Ms. Summers go a bit overboard this time? After all, Carolina is old, and she doesn't really need the money. If she had just given it to her, she would've done a good deed. Why go to such lengths to expose a secret that's been kept for so long? How many years does Carolina even have left? Can't Ms. Summers show a little compassion?"

"Carolina is her grandfather's wife, after all. Giving her a little money wouldn't be the end of the world, right? Why take this to court and embarrass her like this? I really want to know, even if she won the case, is she really happy?"

"Honestly, if she had just given in a bit, the Summers family wouldn't be in such a mess."

"Yeah, Carolina and Jonah messed up, but no one's perfect. She can't be completely faultless."

The online comments were a bit hard to understand at first, but if you thought about it, this whole farce wouldn't have happened if Chloe had just backed down a bit.

At this critical moment, someone suddenly said that a few days ago, Chloe had visited Sacred Heart Church.

Jonah had always been alone at Sacred Heart Church, oblivious to the outside world. Otherwise, he would've stepped in and stopped Carolina from causing a scene at Starlight International from the start. But he didn't. Instead, he suddenly appeared in court at the end, took the stand, and exposed his past scandal, completely turning the case around.

This news didn’t seem like much, but it put Chloe right in the middle of the controversy. She must've found something beforehand, went to Sacred Heart Church, and used the evidence she got to force Jonah to testify for her!

"So it's really like that, huh? Even though Jonah is a bad guy, he's always been good to Chloe, right? But now he's old, and he's being forced to expose his scandal. It's kinda funny and sad at the same time..."

"Everyone's praising Ms. Summers like she's some kind of saint. I don't get it. Where do you see her goodness in her selfishness, manipulative behavior, and willingness to do anything to get what she wants? She's the typical villain in novels and TV shows! What the hell is wrong with society? Don't you guys have your own standards of judgement? Just because other people say she's good, you just go along with it? Every time she's in trouble, there's a bunch of people kissing up to her. It's disgusting!"

"Your words are a bit harsh, but you're speaking the truth."

Even though she won the case, Chloe's reputation took quite a hit.

Seeing these comments, Wendy felt a lot better. She was even more motivated for the upcoming business gala. Considering Chloe's current image, who knew how she'd be treated at the gala?

Chloe was indeed affected. From the time she left the court until she got back to her apartment, she looked upset.

The scene of Jonah on the witness stand, revealing his past sins bit by bit, still echoed in her mind. His gaze, his expressions, his demeanor, everything was still fresh in her mind. She didn't expect Jonah to come forward and expose his past to the public.

She could handle all the consequences, including any negative impact. She made him pay the price, but she didn't make him face the public himself.

If he wanted to atone for his sins in the church, then he could just stay there. Even though people might've thought badly of him, he was isolated from the world in the church and wouldn't be affected. He could live peacefully, and that was enough. Exposing the truth was necessary, but not in this way.

The TV in front of her was on, playing ads on a loop. She sat on the sofa, hugging a pillow, her head down, expressionless, not saying a word.

Damon gave her enough time to think and digest everything. But he wouldn't let her dwell on it indefinitely. He sat down next to her, his face emotionless. He asked, "Are you still thinking about it?"

Chloe blinked, turned around, and buried her face in Damon's chest. "I didn't expect him to be the one to reveal everything. He did so many unforgivable things..."

She was shocked by what Jonah said today. She knew Jonah had betrayed Carolina, and that Nick wasn't Carolina's biological son, but she didn't know he had done so many things back then. She asked, "Are all men like this, thinking that betraying their wife is a fun and exciting thing to do, and even feeling superior about it?"

Damon frowned. "No."

Chloe could hear the irritation in Damon's voice, but she just closed her eyes as she lay in his arms. She looked tired. She said, "But this is good. Remember to handle those online comments for me...

He replied, "Okay."

Realizing that Chloe was extremely tired, Damon's voice became softer. After a while, feeling the steady breath of the woman in his arms, Damon picked her up, gently walked upstairs, and laid her on the bed in the bedroom.

All the bad reviews about Chloe on the internet suddenly disappeared without a trace. Wendy found out this news right away, looking at the computer and smirking.

There was no way Cole would let Wendy be in charge of the company all by herself. When he walked into the office and saw her like this, he immediately furrowed his brows. He asked, "What's up?"

Wendy looked up and saw Cole, her smile even brighter.
