Chapter 36 I'll Never Withdraw It
Quentin struggled to find a comeback to Leah's remarks.
After falling silent for a long while, he pinched his brow and said coldly,
"Just tell me, Leah, what it will take for you to withdraw the lawsuit?"
Leah responded with a mocking laugh, "If you want me to drop it, it's simple. Sharon needs to go live and issue a public apology on social media, or we won't have any deal to discuss."
Sharon's face slightly turned pale, and she lowered her voice, trying to sound distressed as she spoke to Quentin, "Quentin, issuing a public apology would seriously damage my career. I... I can't do that."
"I understand," Quentin replied, his expression turning frosty. He addressed Leah, "Leah, this matter was already resolved on the night of the banquet, and it didn't harm you. Why are you making such a big deal out of it now?"
"Making a big deal out of it?" Leah chuckled in exasperation. "If I hadn't clarified and defended my rights, I'd probably have been drowned in Sharon's fans' criticism by now. Have you ever considered what Sharon did to me? She instigated her fans to attack me first. That's why we're in this situation."
Quentin knew Sharon had indeed done something wrong. He didn't know how to reply and fell silent.
Sharon hesitated briefly and then pretended to be wronged as she told Leah, "Miss Wilson, I know our past issues have left you dissatisfied, but you don't have to blow this minor incident out of proportion. Or do you want to see me driven to the brink just to feel satisfied?"
Upon hearing Sharon's voice, Leah realized that they were together. She didn't hold back and sarcastically remarked, "Someone as shameless as you wouldn't be pushed to the brink, would they?"
Sharon first appeared stunned and then choked back tears. "Miss Wilson, how could you say that?"
While speaking, she gave Quentin a pitiful and aggrieved look.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and it seemed like she had been greatly wronged.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Quentin pressed his lips. "Leah, you're out of line."
Leah found his words ridiculous. "Quentin, what on earth are you talking about? Me? Out of line? If were just a fraction as out of line as you think, I wouldn't have been bullied into this situation, allowing a dirty mistress to take over my life!"
"That's enough!" Quentin's voice turned stern.Leah, I'm sure you know how you managed to get
Archie's help, and I won't expose et
I'm trying to save your dignity, but you're being relentless. What's the matter? Do you find satisfaction in your own degradation, entangling with multiple men?"
Upon hearing these mocking words, Leah's face instantly darkened.
She had been loyal to Quentin during their marriage and tried her best to satisfy him. In the end, he actually believed that she was so flirty and unfaithful.
She must have been stupid to the extreme to fall in love a man like this.
She couldn't help but smile sarcastically and retorted coldly,
"What does my affair have anything to do with you? Besides, I can get Archie's help because I'm capable enough, you can do the same, why don't you try as well? I won't stop you. And, as a final note, I'll never withdraw the lawsuit unless see Sharon issue a public apology!"
