Mr. CEO, You're Just A Substitute

Chapter 119 Good Job, Starry

Starry had stayed at home without leaving the house for a week. It was not until it was January 17th

that she finally stepped out of the house.

The winter in Araria was getting colder and colder. Starry really didn't like to go out on such a cold day,

let alone she had been on her period the days before.

She only went out because of what had happened to Lucia last year.

Since she divorced Filip two years ago, Lucia had been constantly making troubles for her.

Later, what Lucia did get on the news and she went to Filip, who then terminated the cooperation

between the Eternal Group and the Scott Group. Starry had also hired Bentley to sue Lucia.

It took them some time to collect the evidence, therefore, it was not until November last year that the

case was filed. The trial was today.

Starry had stayed at home for a week. Before her clock rang, she had woken up.

It was time to settle everything with Lucia.

Izabella asked for leave today for this, although Starry had told her not to, Izabella said she wanted to

see Lucia being pissed in court.

The weather was good today, except for the coldness and the freezing wind blowing on her.

Starry wore a short white down-coat, blue jeans, a pair of white boots and a blue knitted hat. She took

her black purse and left the house.

Although she wore simply, she was tall and pretty. Izabella saw her at a glance.

"Starry!"

Izabella took Bentley's car to the court. As soon as Starry got off the car, she saw her.

"You look stunning!"

Starry smiled. Her period was finally over and she did look good. "You look good, too."

As they spoke, Bentley followed them. "Ms. Bradley."

Starry smiled at him, "It's good to see you again, Bentley."

"It's good to see you, too."

They won the trial last time, Starry believed they would win today as well.

"The weather is good today. We will be lucky."

Izabella was delighted. She had wanted to get back at Lucia for a long time, but because her family

was friends with the Scott family, she couldn't do anything about Lucia.

Bentley looked at Izabella and smiled. "You were right, Ms. Baxter. We will be lucky today."

Starry smiled, "Exactly."

As the three of them chatted, a black car drove over.

As the door was opened, Lucia got off the car along with Sophie.

When Lucia saw them, the smile on her face froze.

Izabella snorted the second she saw Lucia. "Time to teach the bitches a lesson."

She spoke these words for Lucia to hear, her voice was loud.

When Sophie heard this, she couldn't help it. "Ms. Baxter, be careful with your words."

"Oh, I have always been careful with my words, unlike the barking bitches. Right, Bentley?"

Bentley nodded his head.

Lucia and Sophie's faces turned livid. When they were about to say something, they heard Starry's

words, "Okay now, we are at a courthouse, be careful."

It seemed that she was talking to Izabella, but obviously, she said these to Lucia and Sophie.

Hearing her words, they had to swallow their words.

However, Starry didn't finish. She smiled and added, "We don't want to make too much noises."

Seeing the livid faces of Lucia and Sophie, Izabella smiled and replied, "You are right."

Bentley cleared his throat and reminded them, "The trial is about to begin, we should go in now."

"Let's go."

Izabella looked excited. Before they walked in, she took one last glance at Lucia.

The three of them then walked in. It was about time, the judge and the jury were already there, along

with the plaintiff and the defendant.

Looking at the three of them, Lucia got irritated and spoke, "Ms. Bradley, wait!"

Starry stopped, turned around and looked at her. "You can say it later after the court, Ms. Scott."

Of course, Lucia couldn't wait until then. "Ms. Bradley, is there any chance we can solve this just

between the two of us in private?"

Starry arched her eyebrows. "Ms. Scott, you do know that we are at the courthouse now, right?"

If she was to solve this in private, she wouldn't be here today.

After that, she didn't say anything more and walked into the court.

Lucia panicked. "Starry, I can promise you anything!"

Starry smiled and ignored her words.

Izabella snorted and said, "Ignore her, Starry."

"Of course."

Starry replied indifferently and walked to the plaintiff seat.

Soon, it was time for the trial.

This was a piece of cake for Bentley, he had won many cases that were much harder.

After only twenty minutes, the defendant's lawyer was already on the lower hand. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Your honor, the defendant is willing to settle this out-of-court!"

As soon as Bentley heard this, he said expressionlessly, "The plaintiff refuses."

Sitting in the defendant's seat, Lucia was agitated. "Starry, don't go too far! What good will it do you,

offending the Scott family?"

Starry didn't say a word and Bentley continued, "Your honor, the defendant is threatening the plaintiff."

The judge immediately said, "Ms. Scott, stop threatening the plaintiff!"

Lucia's face turned pale while Starry simply gave her a glance.

After another round of argument, Bentley said in a calm tone, "According to the law, fabricating facts to

slander others constitutes the crime of defamation. Specifically, deliberately fabricating and spreading

fictitious facts, which is enough to degrade the personality of others, damage the reputation of others,

is considered a crime…"

Lucia's lawyer had nothing to defend for her now and the trial was almost over.

Lucia had fabricated lies and slandered Starry multiple times, which had seriously damaged Starry's

reputation. The judge and the jury had made their decisions.

However, the sentence wasn't made on the spot, but Lucia had been taken to the prison right after the

trial.

Sophie was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do when she saw Lucia being taken away.

Izabella walked over and hugged Starry. "Good, job, Starry!"

Starry smiled and replied, "Thanks to Bentley."

Bentley adjusted his glasses and said, "It's my job."
