Chapter 43

The presiding judge declared the court session open, announced the cause of action, and asked

whether the parties involved the apply for withdrawal.

After that, the trial officially began.

Vincent and Christopher each presented their cases.

In a few sharp and concise sentences, they completed their statements.

Those were the systematic procedures.

However, when Vincent requested to call their witness, Christopher’s eyes flashed with surprise, but he

quickly maintained a poker face.

Soon, he saw Timothy appear in the witness box.

Christopher let out a sigh secretly. He hadn’t expected Vincent to have the means to make Timothy

switch sides.

The only possibility he could think of was something to do with Timothy’s son.

At that moment, Timothy’s uneasy and flustered eyes met Christopher’s glare.

rent

It was apparent that Timothy felt guilty.

He lowered his head, not wanting to reveal his timidity.

Soon he was able to control his breathing and tell the truth. The court clerk took careful

notes.

On the bright side, Timothy felt it was all worth it as he thought about his son lying on the operating

table receiving a bone marrow transplant.

Then, he answered questions from the presiding judge and two defense lawyers. fluently.

Vincent and Olivia made their statements after Timothy left the witness box.

Vincent told the whole story of the grievances between the two parties and presented his appeal.

When it was Olivia’s turn, many people were waiting to see her showcase her skills.



To their surprise, her statements were brief and concise.

Every sentence was straight to the point.

Chapter 43

“Firstly, the defendant, the Levine Group, breached the cross-licencing agreement and broke the

principle of good faith. Secondly, Mr. Griffin was a core team member of Sullivan Group, but Levine

Group poached him through various improper means and infringed the patent right of Sullivan Group,

causing huge losses. Thirdly, the defendant, Levine Group, violated the market principle of fair

competition and maliciously suppressed Sullivan Group.”

She presented relevant evidence after saying that.

Earna saw the first two claims coming and knew how to handle them. However, the last claim caught

him off guard.

He hadn’t expected them to get their hands on those pieces of evidence, as they were basically trade

secrets.

At that moment, he had a bad feeling.

He mused, “The inconspicuous woman across from me must be the legendary “Inferno”.

‘Otherwise, she won’t be able to access that core data.

‘And judging by her performance, she doesn’t look like a small fry. On the contrary, she has the aura of

a big shot.

‘Every word she said seemed to be a declaration that she was the winner!

Earna had no intention of wasting time on that section since Christopher had just made

a statement.

Soon, it was Earna’s turn to defend.

He quickly looked at the mind map he had drawn on the spot.

Now that he had lost the upper hand, he had to force his way through his responses.

With his legal knowledge, he would be able to justify the first two claims.

However, after the hard evidence was presented, Earna really didn’t know how to approach it.



At that time, he could only boast about how the Levine Group was successful because of its high

standards and reputation. He then showed a number of market shares over the past few years and

third-party evaluation reports.

Ultimately, he was trying to say that the reason the Levine Group made significant progress was

because of its reputation and management skills and not because of Sullivan Group’s patent.

Even he felt that it was far-fetched after hearing his own defense. Therefore, Earna had several long

pauses during the whole answering process.

The people in the court could not believe Earna’s embarrassment.

The final stage would be case deliberation, mediation, and adjudication.

Vincent would not agree to mediation, seeing that he had the upper hand and that his other purpose

today was to vent his anger for Kimberly.

Finally, the court handed down its judgment.

Levine Group lost the lawsuit. They had to pay 3 billion dollars in compensation to Sullivan Group

within 10 days from the effective date of the judgment.

The amount was 3 billion dollars.

It was not a small sum.

Originally, Christopher planned to compensate only I billion dollars if he really lost the

case.

It was unexpected that Olivia got those pieces of solid evidence and some top analysis. data.

The whole assessment favored the Sullivan Group after they had suffered the damage.

According to the sum of compensation, it basically meant that even though the Levine Group held

Sullivan Group’s patent right, the former had worked for free as all profits. returned to Sullivan Group in

the end.

Still, Christopher acted calmly as if he wasn’t the one who lost the lawsuit but Vincent.

In contrast to Christopher’s calmness, Earna was a little impatient.

He heard Christopher had accepted the sentence and was not going to appeal.



That outcome caused Earna’s emotions to fly high.

He admitted he had taken the case a little lightly at first. He hadn’t expected to end up in complete

shambles after his first court case with Inferno.

At that point, he was like a gambler trying to win the game after suffering losses.

He wanted one more chance to at least help Christopher recover some losses with his capabilities.

Perhaps, the compensation sum of 3 billion dollars could be reduced to 2 billion dollars

or 1 billion dollars.

However, his boss, Christopher, was unwilling to give him a chance.

At that time, Vincent was very proud. Such a joyful occasion definitely boosted his spirits.

He stepped forward and gave Olivia a high five to celebrate.

He then approached Christopher and tried to shake hands with him in the posture of a victor.

Yet, Christopher didn’t give him the chance. With a domineering aura, Christopher walked toward the

door.

When Earna saw that, he hurriedly packed his documents and caught up with Christopher.

Earna could not accept it. He was still in hot pursuit of the case when he caught up with Christopher.

“Why did you just accept the verdict? This time I underestimated the enemy. If we have another

chance, at least we can minimize our losses.”

Christopher knew Earna well. He knew Earna was a determined man, albeit arrogant.

But in that instance, Christopher thought he had done his best..

Even if he appealed again, it would be a waste of energy.

The other party’s evidence was flawless, and they were firm in every section.

Hence, it was better to end it there.

For others, compensating 3 billion dollars might be heartbreaking.

However, the Levine Group could afford it.

He just hadn’t expected Katherine’s best friend, who seemed so ordinary, to become.

Inferno.



He pondered, ‘What if she has something to do with Katherine’s disappearance?

‘Katherine was married to me for two years, but after we divorced, I realized I didn’t know anything

about her.’

For a moment, Christopher even thought that Inferno had taken the case to get revenge for Katherine.

He wondered, ‘Vincent has been looking for Inferno for so long. Then why did he find

There were more and more questions in his heart.
