My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2531

As they chatted, their conversation grew livelier, until a secretary knocked on the door, breaking.

"Come in," Nicole called out as she turned to look at the entrance.

"Miss Riddle, here's a document from the Legal Department, " the secretary said as she handed a file

to Nicole with a grimace on her face.

She could not help but cast a glance at Lulu when she was doing so.

"Does it have anything to do with my case?" Lulu anxiously asked, understanding what the secretary

was trying to convey.

"The results... aren't very favorable," the secretary replied, her tone soft and hesitant.

Lulu’s face turned pale as she turned to look at Nicole. She waited until Nicole was done reading the

document, so that the latter could explain to her what was going on.

Nicole flipped the document open, and her eyes narrowed as she read the details.

"They want $300,000 and a public apology from Lulu!" Nicole yelled.

Not only had they falsely accused Lulu; they were also greedy enough to demand that much from her.

"The Legal Department suggests that if we want to resolve this quickly, these are their terms," the

secretary explained in a low voice.

Still, the demands from the accusers were ridiculous.

"I won't agree to that." Lulu's pale face turned red as she clenched her teeth, feeling visibly upset.

After she was done, Nicole placed the document away and looked at Lulu. "If that's the case, then let's

follow the proper procedures and find conclusive evidence."

She had initially thought about resolving the matter calmly to avoid putting pressure on Spencer and

Lulu before their wedding. However, Nicole did not expect that the siblings would be so disgustingly

greedy.

Nicole would have let the siblings off the hook if they turned themselves in and admitted their mistakes,

as all she wanted was for Lulu and Spencer's wedding to go smoothly. But since the siblings were not

willing to cooperate, she had decided to handle it through the legal, official route.

"Got it," the secretary replied and left the room.

Meanwhile, Lulu was sitting there, her face tensed up in a grimace as she thought about the situation.

Noting this Nicole attempted to comfort her by saying," Don't worry, we will definitely get you through

this."

"They are clearly trying to humiliate me. They want to ruin our wedding. Urgh! I'm sure we'll be able to

find one eyewitness at least," Lulu said with determination, her hands

clenched and balled up into fists. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"The Legal Department has already sent a bunch of people out to investigate this. Just give it some

time," Nicole reassured her.

"What?! Didn't you say earlier that if they admitted their mistake, we would forgive them?" Lulu asked,

surprised that Nicole had made such a decision.

"That was done in an attempt to resolve things quickly and prevent it from affecting your wedding.

However, we need to be prepared in case they don't cooperate," Nicole explained.

If they had agreed, Nicole would definitely not escalate, but since they had opted not to, Nicole would

see them in court.

"Thank you so much, Nicole. You've done so much for me," Lulu said, feeling deeply moved.

She had not realized that Nicole had taken care of everything for her.

"Just focus on being my sister-in-law," Nicole teased with a smile.

"Alright, Mrs. Johnston," Lulu playfully poked her tongue out.

The two of them laughed, and the dark clouds in their hearts dissipated.

Meanwhile, at the hotel, Spencer and Icyln were just ushering their teacher into his unit.

"Mr. Lincoln, you must be tired from the journey. Please get some rest, and I'll come to pick you up

tomorrow," Spencer said to Peter.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work," Peter replied, feeling a little fatigued and wanting to take a nap.

Icyln, on the other hand, seemed a little reluctant to call it a day. "Spencer, Mr. Lincoln rarely comes

over. Why don’t we spend more time with him?"

She was aware that if they left right away, Spencer might continue to ignore her. That's why she wanted

to take advantage of this opportunity to spend more time with him.
