1997: Be Ruthless and Deceive Yourself! (3 More)
Mrs. Wilson was startled, and immediately denied this:
"It's all speculation from my husband, Ivan."
"guess?"
Eric raised his voice, "Guessing can't convict someone, and the videotape played by the defendant's lawyer in court is full of speculation. If my client has such a good-looking appearance, I think it's unfair to be subject to such malicious speculation. In fact, we raised our reputational damage to $500,000 in court for exactly this reason!"
Eric took the initiative to show the evidence to the court. These days' reports did not tell the facts of the case, but he was keen to explore Xia Xiaolan's personal privacy.
A good copyright case, you have to talk about peach sex scandals and rights and sex transactions.
Eric didn't point this out in court, so what did he use to wash the dirty water off Xia Xiaolan's body?
"My client has suffered great physical and mental harm. She already has a stable fiance in China. She has never concealed this. These false accusations are not valid evidence. For this reason, I implore the court to subpoena our side. Another witness, Mr. Harold Wilson."
Mrs. Wilson froze.
Harold is back in America?
impossible.
She had only spoken to her husband on the phone this morning, and Ivan was eager to trick Harold into coming to America. But Harold's thoughts on Xia Xiaolan seemed to have faded, and he was actually unmoved. Just this morning, Ivan saw Harold returning to the hotel surrounded by a group of bodyguards. How could Harold come to the New York court to testify in just a few hours!
Mrs. Wilson couldn't help but go to see Xia Xiaolan.
There was no surprise on Xia Xiaolan's face.
Xia Xiaolan already knew?
She knew what kind of attack Miles would use to prepare Harold in advance to return to the United States to testify?
Harold deliberately played tricks again, causing Ivan to misunderstand——
Xia Xiaolan deceived her so hard!
Miles' eyes swept over her constantly. Mrs. Wilson knew that it was Miles' surprise and complaint, but Miles confirmed with her again and again that Harold would not appear in court. Despite the risk of later being sued for defamation by a wealthy millionaire, at least today's case is won, and Miles is willing to take that risk.
However, it is said that the rich man in China actually appeared in court!
The male protagonist of "Transaction of Power and Sex" has appeared.
Harold appeared on the witness stand.
The papers were scribbled, and Miles was scrambling for clues, but the judge and jury didn't know what Harold looked like. Many were seeing the rumored billionaire for the first time.
Not very old.
very handsome.
Very imposing.
Such a man will not be short of female companions, just beckoning, how many women will be moved?
I'm afraid he doesn't need a 'power and sex trade'!
"Mr. Harold, I know you have a busy schedule. Thank you for your testimony."
"You're welcome, I'm proving my innocence for Miss Xia, and I'm proving my innocence for myself. In fact, I have been traveling abroad for a while, but my assistant in the United States has told me what happened in New York these days."
"Do you approve of those reports?"
Harold scanned the audience, but did not deliberately stop at Xia Xiaolan.
Compared to Matthew Carlton, who was blushing and embarrassed when Miles asked, Harold was incomparably sophisticated.
If you swear to tell the truth, do you really want to tell the truth?
Even if he had any deal with Xia Xiaolan, he could deny it in court!
Besides, nothing really.
"What report?"
"You mean, for Miss Xia, I sponsored Cornell University's School of Architecture to hold the first c.w architectural design competition? I don't know how there are such rumors, last year, because of the corruption incident of the hotel manager, the operation of the Wilson Hotel Faced with challenges, in order not to affect the new project of the Wilson Hotel in Washington, the hotel must take certain measures. After consideration, the hotel chose to cooperate with the School of Architecture of Cornell University to hold a design competition to enhance the humanistic heritage of the Wilson Hotel. At the same time, we are also working with Cornell University's College of Agriculture to provide the highest quality ingredients for hotel residents, and these two programs are simultaneous, not one-time, but long-term cooperation."
"This year, the second c.w architectural design competition is already under preparation... If it is said in the scandal, the c.w architectural design competition is held for Miss Xia, this year Miss Xia has left Cornell University, this The competition should be suspended, sponsoring the competition has a certain cost, the competition exists only for a certain person, there is no reason!"
Harold spoke the lies as if they were the truth.
This is how businessmen do things.
The c·w architectural design competition was of course held for Xia Xiaolan.
But apart from Harold himself, who knows?
Even if Xia Xiaolan himself didn't know, Harold was not that kind of naive person. He spent a little money for a certain woman, and everyone knew that he must publicize it, and he had to show favor in front of that woman.
He was just trying to find an excuse to get close to Xia Xiaolan, and the c.w competition did achieve his goal for him.
that's enough.
And he spent a share of money, but not only did he achieve this goal, the businessmen are very shrewd and will not do business at a loss.
The c·w architectural design competition will indeed be held this year. This year, it will be expanded to the whole state and next year to the United States. This was originally Harrods' plan.
"The first c.w architectural design competition is absolutely fair, and the judges are not
Professor, and the architects from Foster and the American p&w firm, no matter where this rumor comes from, I will definitely sue the rumour maker to bankruptcy! "
"Witness, this is the courtroom, please pay attention to your language!"
The judge interrupted in time, but Lisa and Miles were still a little flustered.
In the United States, the harsh words spoken by congressmen are not terrible, and some people even dare to slap their necks against the federal government, but what rich people say, everyone will take seriously... Speak the law? The law is for the rich in America! Powerful lawyers like Eric who specialize in lawsuits for the poor are an absolute minority.
Miles stared at Harold like a vulture:
"The witness denied having an improper relationship with the plaintiff, Mr. Harold, do you dare to deny in court that you have no special affection for the plaintiff beyond friendship? I mean, a man appreciates and likes a woman and is willing to do it for her The kind of emotion that does everything, including hiding herself, inappropriately helping her career—"
"be opposed to!"
"Objection is valid! Defendant's lawyer, pay attention to the way you ask questions!"
The judge was slightly displeased. This was the first time that Miles had asked a leading question. Although judges are not biased, lawyers cannot regard judges as fools and test the bottom line again and again!
"It's okay, I can answer that question."
"First, Miss Xia and I have never had any emotions beyond friendship. We have never been alone in any private place. The power and sex trade is an untrue rumor!"
"Second, I don't like Miss Xia, no matter the past or the present."
What is a successful businessman?
——Successful businessmen not only deceive others, but also deceive themselves!
Xia Xiaolan got into such a predicament, part of the reason was his inappropriate words and deeds at the beginning, it was right for him to solve this predicament for Xia Xiaolan.
What's more, he said the past and the present, but he did not guarantee the future.
After winning the lawsuit, he can still like it again.
