The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1535

As soon as Jonah was identified, the reporters swarmed around him.

"Jonah, are you aware of Ms. Carolina's claims for money against Ms. Summers?"

"I understand that after Ms. Summers burned down the house, you were offered a place to stay which you personally rejected. Is Ms. Summers' refusal to pay unjustified in this case?"

"Are you here as a witness for Ms. Summers or to support Ms. Carolina?"

"Who do you hope will win this lawsuit?"

"Nick, Ms. Carolina is pressing charges against your daughter. What are your thoughts on this lawsuit?"d2

Nick's life had always been arranged by Carolina. Within the Summers family, even Jonah had to listen to her. What was more, his father always indulged his mother which forced him to be more tolerant towards her.

Fortunately, most of the time, his mother was fighting for his interests, so he accepted it. Apart from not having much power, he lived comfortably.

However, he had been paying close attention to this lawsuit in the shadows. Carolina had promised him that this money would be enough for him to start a new company. Even though Chloe was his daughter, after everything about the Summers family was exposed, he felt ashamed towards Chloe and he never thought of getting anything from her. No matter what, he still had some basic human decency. As a father, he hadn't done anything for her, so naturally he had no face to ask anything from her. But if his mother could get some money, he would hope so.

He shook his head and refused to answer the reporters' questions.

Jonah, on the other hand, paid no attention to the reporters' questions. His expression was cold. He walked up to Carolina with his cane and stood still.

Carolina frowned at him, "Why are you here? Are you here to testify for Chloe? It's useless. She openly admitted that she wouldn't give me the money. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here today."

Jonah looked at Carolina with a calm expression and said, "Would you agree to drop the lawsuit right now if I asked you to?"

Carolina raised her eyebrows, "Do you think that's possible at this point?"

"Nothing is impossible as long as the court is not in session. You just need to tell me whether you agree or not!" Jonah said.

"I do not agree!" Carolina answered immediately without any hesitation, "I have been accused by everyone. What do you think I'm doing this for? You may be satisfied with the current situation of the Summers family, but I'm not! Nick hasn't achieved anything till now. As his father, don't you feel guilty at all? You might be content with the life you have without any complaints. That's your choice. But I can't! I, Carolina, am selfish and can't live such a poor life. Moreover, I can't watch my son live under someone else's thumb. He always has to obey others, living miserable all his life. So, I don't care how shameless and thick-skinned I appear in the eyes of others!”

Jonah's lips trembled, "You're even willing to give up your last bit of dignity for money?!"

Carolina said, "When I was the mistress of the Summers family, I needed dignity! But now I'm almost like a beggar! I want to live a good life and to leave something for my son. What is dignity? Whose dignity can be worth two billion? I was forced into this. If Chloe could have a good talk with me, accept my apology, and acknowledge me as her grandmother, it wouldn't have come to this! Jonah, if you're not here to help me, then don't stop me!"
