Chapter 375
Mindy rushed to the lounge, but just as she was about to open the door, she heard a man and a woman moaning inside.
She stopped and frowned. How bold of them to do such a thing during the day. It looked like Idris’s management of the company was getting worse.
As she debated whether to open the door or head to Idris’s office, the conversation inside made her freeze.
“You naughty little thing! Are you trying to suck me dry?”
“Idris, take it easy! Don’t leave marks on my neck. Others might notice.”
“Wouldn’t it be more exciting if they did?”
It was Idris and Sophia!
Mindy was shaking. She had been trying to figure out who his mistress was, but she never thought it would be Sophia.
Sophia was the daughter of her distant cousin. Mindy was the one who had recommended that she worked at Pond Corporation.
Besides, Idris was supposed to be Sophia’s uncle.
Mindy did not expect them to hook up. How could they not feel disgusted?
She could not remember how she left the company. Although she wanted to barge into the room and give them a piece of her mind, she could not find the courage.
What would exposing them achieve anyway?
If she and Idris divorced, she would be left with nothing. She would not let that happen!
Mindy was set on holding onto the title of Mrs. Pond. She would not allow Sophia to take over!
The court hearing went smoothly. Perficient’s lawyer quickly used the so–called “initial draft” to prove that MY Corporation copied Perficient’s designs. He demanded a compensation of fifty million dollars for their losses.
MY Corporation’s lawyer struggled from the start and failed to respond effectively to Perficient’s lawyer.
Meanwhile, Ada wore a proud smile as she sat in the audience.
It looked like suing them would be easier than expected. The judges and jury all believed that the date on the draft was real. Just as Liam had predicted, almost no one in the country could tell that the image was fake.
She got up and left the court. She saw several missed calls from Idris, but he did not answer when she called back.
Ada stopped calling and messaged Liam instead.
[The lawsuit’s going well. We can plan a celebration party.]
She kept her phone and walked up to her car by the road.
The reporters approached her just as she reached it.
Ada wore what she thought was a perfect smile and prepared to talk, but the reporters bombarded her with sharp questions. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“Miss Pond, did you ever think that Perficient would lose the lawsuit?”
“Miss Pond, MY Corporation wants a public apology from Perficient, and they’re demanding fifty million dollars in compensation. When do you intend to settle this?”
“Miss Pond, online opinion of Perficient has become unfavorable. The company’s future seems rocky. Did you consider these consequences when you falsely accused MY Corporation of plagiarism?”
As the questions came one after another, Ada’s smile faded. She frowned and asked, “What nonsense are you talking about?! How could MY Corporation possibly win?!”
Seeing the confidence in her eyes, a reporter mocked her. “Miss Pond, did you leave before the verdict? MY Corporation’s lawyer presented evidence that proved the picture of your initial draft was fake. The judge gave his ruling, and Perficient lost. MY Corporation is now planning to sue your company at a later date.”
When Ada heard the word “fake,” her face turned pale. “No way! That can’t be true!” she said. Liam had told her that nobody would discover it was fake. How could Perficient lose?! She attempted to go back in to check the results of the trial. Just then, her phone rang.
