Chapter 1542
"This is just ridiculous. I''ve spent my entire life being loyal to the Summers family, and in the end,
I''m the only one who doesn''t belong to the Summers family... You''re all Summers, all but me...
all but me..."
Jonah, Nick, and even Chloe... But where did she belong...
Jonah’''s lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with tears. His heart was filled with pain, sorrow,
regret, and guilt. "| thought | would take this secret to my grave. | thought | was nearing the end of
my life, but | didn''t make it... | never would have thought that you would go and ask Chloe for
money... If it weren''t for that, my dirty secret could have been buried forever..."
Nick sighed deeply and took a deep breath.b2 It''s fate... it''s fate... | have to pay for the mistakes I''ve
made in this life. Maybe it''s a good thing to confess. At least we can die with a clear conscience..."
The courtroom was silent. Everyone quietly watched the events in the courtroom. They didn''t know
how to describe the current situation, and they didn''t know what they were feeling. For them, this
trial was really unexpected. Every second was surprising.
First, there was Carolina''s unscrupulous behavior, and now this shocking twist. It was simply
unbelievable.
It was like watching a suspense horror movie. They never knew what would happen next.
This turn of events caught Carolina off guard and left everyone in the courtroom unable to fully
react. This was the first time the judge had encountered such a chaotic situation. He was also
shocked by what had happened and was somewhat stunned.
Today''s trial was full of surprises. Who could have expected that Old Mr. Summers, who was always
low-key and charitable, had done such a thing in the past? And they were even more surprised that
he had managed to keep it a secret for so many years, but he chose to expose this secret today, in
court.
Facing the chaotic courtroom, Chloe, who had been standing quietly with a nk expression,
suddenly raised her chin, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
She turned to the judge on the tform and said, "The evidence above is enough to prove that |
have no blood rtion to Carolina Petry. Although she is my elder in name, she has never fulfilled
her responsibilities. So, | suppose | have no obligation to support her, right?"
The judges looked at each other, discussed briefly, and immediately banged the gavel, dering
that Carolina''swsuit was invalid. Chloe was not obliged to support her. At this point, no one was
surprised by the verdict.
Chloe took a deep breath and nced at Jonah, who was trembling on the witness stand, and
Carolina, who was sitting there, furious. She gave a small smile, stood up, and turned to leave. The
matter was settled, and she didn''t need to stay and deal with them.
Seeing Chloe leave, Damon also stood up, followed by Nathan, Rose, and others. The chaotic
courtroom gradually returned to order. In the end, only Jonah, Carolina, and Nick were left. Carolina
sat there, watching Chloe disappear from her sight with a triumphant smile.
Now, all she felt was hatred. Why couldn''t she beat her?!
Since the trial was not open to the media, a group of anxious reporters immediately surrounded
Chloe when she left the courthouse. They all asked about the oue of the trial.
Chloe, held by Damon, walked expressionlessly through the crowd.
She didn''t give any response. She was escorted all the way to the car. Before getting in, Chloe
turned to face the approaching reporters and said calmly, "Thanks for your concern. The result of
the trial is... | won."
She paused slightly as she spoke, faced the camera, and revealed a faint smile. Then, under
Damon''s protection, she got into the car.
Although this was the answer the reporters wanted most, it wasn''t enough. They were still
unsatisfied.
Soon after, bystanders came out, and the reporters immediately surrounded them.
The bystanders’ ounts also shocked the reporters.
Not long after, Wendy came out of the door with a gloomy face.
The reporters shook their heads at the sight of her but still gathered around.
"Ms. Wendy, I''m sorry that Ms. Summers has disappointed you again. How do you feel right now?"
"It''s said that you''ve been paying for Carolina''s living expenses these days. Now that you''ve lost the
lawsuit, do you n to get your money back?"
"The Alonso Corporation is just getting back on its feet and needs funds. This money shoulde
in handy, right?"
The reporters could no longer maintain a neutral interview stance toward Wendy. Her series of
actions were just too uneptable.
The reporters’ sarcasm only made Wendy''s face look worse.
After she left without saying a word, the reporters and bystanders were speechless about this
woman. They were all talking about her.
"No matter what we say, it won''t change her. She''s just like Carolina, shameless."
"I''m speechless about shameless people. How could she be like this."
"She probably still thinks she''s great. Shameless people never know how shameless they are. In
their hearts, they always have their own sense of justice.”
In the midst of thisplex discussion, time slowly passed, and Jonah and his group finally
appeared at the courthouse door.
Carolina was behind them, looking sad and being supported by several people. When she walked
down the steps, her body even softened for a moment, almost falling down. Her appearance silently
confirmed that all the news they had just received was true. If not for this, how could a shameless
person like Carolina end up like this?

Reporters started to grill again, "Jonah, can you spill the beans on who your lover was back in the
day?”
"Where is she now? How did you persuade her to hand the kid off to you, or did you, more
urately, rip the child from her arms?"
"How did your child with Carolina die back then? And how have you managed to keep this under
wraps for all these years?"
