Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Success in Lawsuit (2)

Upon seeing Carolline and Bryan Hawkins, Daisy Willow quickened her pace towards them, "Carolline, Mr. Hawkins, I’m really sorry to trouble you again."

Elena already knew that her parents were getting a divorce. Daisy’s father came, but her mother didn’t; she stayed home to accompany Elena. Daisy’s father’s reason for coming was the fear that his daughter would be bullied by the Duncan family.

"Of course, uncle, hello." Carolline took the initiative to greet Daisy’s father.

"Ah, hello to you too." Daisy’s father kindly replied, knowing that Carolline was Daisy Willow’s good friend and had helped her a lot; otherwise, who knows how Daisy would have been bullied by the Duncan family.

"Let’s go in first." Bryan Hawkins said.

Both sides arrived half an hour early and met at the court entrance. Mrs. Duncan glared at Daisy Willow bitterly but didn’t say much. After her last outburst, Jane Auclair had expressed her anger, accusing her of causing trouble, so today she could only keep her mouth shut.

She could scold Daisy Willow freely, but she couldn’t treat Jane Auclair, her daughter-in-law, in the same way. Moreover, when Jane Auclair expressed her anger, Mrs. Duncan did not know what her son was thinking, but in any case, he did not help his mother.

Of course, afterward, Jane Auclair bought plenty of things to compensate her and lectured her a lot. Mrs. Duncan took the advice as well, so she didn’t take it to heart. Today she was just bearing with it, waiting for the court’s verdict.

"Why did your ex-mother-in-law suddenly become so obedient?" Carolline asked curiously, surprisingly engaging in gossip.

"Last week, Simon Carrington, the lawyer, directly filed a defamation suit against her. She lost and had to make a public apology and compensate for emotional and reputational damages, adding up to 100,000 Yuan. That probably explains it," Daisy laughed. She went to watch the trial last time and saw Simon Carrington’s amazing performance in the courtroom for the first time.

Of course, Simon Carrington also performed well in Daisy’s divorce lawsuit, but Daisy missed his brilliant work after Mrs. Duncan’s tantrum in the courtroom. That day, though, she had seen it, which made her even more confident in Simon Carrington.

"100,000 Yuan is obviously too little, but for a money-loving Mrs. Duncan, it feels like skinning her." Carolline laughed, rather wickedly.

"..." Bryan Hawkins affectionately stroked his wife’s head. Even with Carolline’s mischievous laugh, she looked adorable to him. "Maybe later we can continue to enjoy the hilarious expressions of the money-hungry old lady; she might even be rushed to the hospital."

Someone his wife dislikes is not someone he would like either, so Bryan Hawkins’ impressions of Mrs. Duncan were not favorable at all.

Simon Carrington and Daisy Willow: "..."

That couple really left them speechless.

Two hours later, just as Bryan Hawkins had said, Mrs. Duncan was carried out on a stretcher by a 120 ambulance, her face pale as she lay on it, followed by the Duncan family’s servants.

Jane Auclair remained in the audience, waiting for the judge’s final decision.

She looked terrible. Simon Carrington had the ability to make sure Daisy Willow took half of Cole Duncan’s property. Thankfully Jane Auclair had been smart enough to have Cole transfer some houses to her name beforehand; otherwise, the Duncan family’s wealth would have been divided as well. Of course, Cole Duncan wasn’t entirely foolish either. The properties transferred to Jane Auclair’s name were clearly stated not to belong to her.

Daisy Willow didn’t fuss about it either. With tens of millions in assets – although not that much in cash – the Duncan family’s shares were worth tens of millions. Simon Carrington advised her to sell the shares to Cole Duncan and exchange them for cash, which would be better. Daisy Willow agreed, as she didn’t want to own any shares in the Duncan family.
