Chapter 181 Take a Firmer Hand
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sally averted her gaze.
It was not something that deserved to be happy.
"How much did he pay you?" Ceres cut to the chase.
"What are you talking about?" Sally was confused.
"How much did Johny pay you to lie to me?"
Ceres gave a mocking smile. "Poor Sally, what else do you see other than money? How could you
degrade yourself at such a low level for the sake of money?"
Sally was impatient. "I didn't lie! Why don't you believe me? You'd be better to make peace with Johny
right now! That's good for everyone. I really don't know what is wrong with you. How can you ditch such
a good man?"
Ceres picked up her bag. She no longer wanted to see Sally. "I'm sorry to let you down. I'm afraid you
can't get the money."
As she spoke, Ceres strode out of the cafe.
"Stop right there! It's damn true! Why would I lie to you?"
But Ceres ignored Sally's shouts and left the cafe.
She got the stuffy feeling in her chest as if something clogged her air pipe.
Johny was ridiculous! He made Sally tell such a stupid lie to make peace with Ceres!
Ceres thought that Johny had remade his error, but he didn't!
Ceres was getting much angrier on the way home. She couldn't swallow the anger.
She stepped on the brake and pulled over by the roadside. Ceres picked up her phone. "Help me find a
lawyer in the Imperial City. I want the best lawyer!"
In the Eagle Group
Johny was distressed since Ceres kicked him out of the house. What happened that year was rooted in
their hearts like a thorn in his.
Bob and Bill worried about him.
Johny's phone buzzed. "What?"
"Okay," he said, frowning.
After that, he threw his phone to the side.
"Is that Ceres..."
"She is looking for a lawyer to sue me."
"Shit!" Bill gave her a thumbs-up. "Ceres is indeed kickass awesome. She seems to fear nothing. Now,
she wants to sue you! Well, amazing."
Bob lightly patted the back of Bill's head, "You are the smartest man in the room. Use your brain
instead of your month! "
"Why so serious?" Bill patted on his thigh.
Johny and Bob looked at Bill, who looked confident as if he had come up with a plan.
"Lay it out! What's your plan?"
Bill looked at Johny proudly. "Johny, do you know what the most invincible thing in the world is? Well,
that's thick skin. That's so true. You need to develop thick skin. If someone is thick-skinned, they are
not easily hurt emotionally. "
Johny knitted his brows.
"If Ceres doesn't forgive you, you keep showing nice to her. As long as the requests are reasonable,
you should accede to her wishes. In short, pamper her! If she doesn't want it, then you have to play a
firmer hand!"
Bill gave his speech while knocking on the table.
"What the hell is it?" Bob glanced at Bill.
"This is real and based on my experience. Woman loves gentleman who treats her well, especially
Ceres. She has suffered a lot since she was young. Johny, trust me!"
"Alright, enough! Go wrestling something."
They made Johny more upset, so he drove them out of the room.
"Johny, you have to put down your pride. It's not that hard!"
Bob hurriedly dragged Bill out of the room.
Johny gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows and carefully recalled Bill's ideas in his head.
Ben went to Johny's office in the afternoon with Ceres, which surprised Johny. So, he canceled the
following meetings.
"Johny, I didn't know you're so cheap!" Ceres swaggered over and sat opposite Johny.
"What?"
"You killed my father and created a fake suicide. You even forged his handwriting and wrote a wish Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
note. Now, you even bribe my mother and make her lie to me that I am not my father's biological
daughter. Well, what's wrong with me when I fall for you?"
Johny had a puzzled look on his face. He had never met Sally.
"What's happening?"
"Alright, keep playing dumb. Let's talk about something you might be interested in. I own five percent of
the Winsor Group, and I haven't got it. I've already hired a lawyer, and he will take care of the rest. I
want my shares back."
Ceres looked extremely cold as if she had cut off from this man.
"By the way, the five percent must be worth of more than it already is in the past few years. You'd better
spit out all the money!"
Johny looked at the unfamiliar, distant Ceres and was speechless.
He felt heartbroken, and he did not know how to ease the pain in Ceres's heart.
"Oh, the house in Villa Amio is mine. You have to move out immediately. And you have to pay the rents
you owed me for the past few years according to the market price. I hope you can clear all your debt!"
"Do you have to do this?"
Johny didn't care about his money, but Ceres disappointed Johny.
"Yes!" Ceres stood up. "Please stay away from me and my house from now on. If I see you again, I will
meet you at the court! Oh, stop calling me. If you need anything, go for my lawyer."
After that, Ceres strode away from Johny's office.
An eye for an eye, a wrong for a wrong.
Ceres wanted to go tit for tat with Johny to the end.
Johny watched Ceres leave and did not persuade her to stay.
Ceres returned to the Cosmos Group building across the road. As she returned to her seat, she
received a call from the law firm.
"Hello, Miss Ceres. I'm sorry. We can't take this lawsuit."
"Why? Is this tough? We stand a better chance."
"Sorry, we just can't take it."
"Oh, you are afraid of Johny, right? As long as I take back my shares, his empire must fall. What are
you afraid of?"
The beeping sound came from the phone.
The other side got off the phone.
