'I wouldn't dare!'
The person in charge opened his mouth and silently shouted.
A tall and a short man knelt in front with their hands clasped, begging for mercy.
Zhu Ning propped her cheek with her finger and watched them on the phone with a hint of interest.
She smiled and said, "Really?"
"How terrifying."
John said proudly, "So, Miss Zhu, now you know what real power and privilege mean, right?"
Zhu Ning nodded towards Heinrich and said, "It seems so."
The old man shook his head and smiled at her, as if saying, "Don't tease me, young lady."
John said, "So, Miss Zhu, we've already said.
"The difficult situation you're facing now is just a matter of a single word for us.
"As long as you show a bit of humility, we can get you out right away. What do you think?"
"I don't think that's necessary."
"Stubborn!" John said. "Since Miss Zhu insists on suffering a bit, we'll grant your wish!
"I hope you won't come crying to us later, saying you regret it!"
As he said that, he was about to tell the man to take the phone back, but Zhu Ning didn't give him the chance.
Instead, she slowly said, "I think the one who will soon regret it might not be me, Heinrich."
"Miss, my men are already on their way to handle it."
On the other end of the phone, John suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What do you mean? Who are your men? Who is Heinrich?"
"You'll know soon enough."
The phone call ended, and John didn't get the answer.
Zhu Ning returned the phone to the man, and the supervisor immediately and respectfully handed the recording pen to the two of them.
Heinrich took it, made a copy, and returned the original. Zhu Ning propped her elbow on the armrest, crossed her legs, and looked down at them and asked, "So, can I leave now?"
"Yes, yes, of course you can."
The supervisor and the man nodded eagerly, their eyes showing that they couldn't wait to send the two of them away.
But Zhu Ning asked again, "But I heard someone wanted to freeze my account..."
"Absolutely not!" the supervisor immediately replied loudly. "We would never freeze your account!"
Before they knew that Heinrich was her lawyer, they did have such an idea.
But now that they clearly understood the relationship between Heinrich and her, why would they ask for trouble?
They didn't want the entire UST to be sued.
Moreover, what made Heinrich intimidating was not just his lawyer status.
Zhu Ning was satisfied with this. "That's good. Your coffee is delicious, but I hope you won't invite me to drink it again."
"No, no, no."
The two of them nodded repeatedly to assure her.
Zhu Ning stood up. "Well, then let my lawyer talk to you about the following matters."
The two of them looked at Heinrich in front of them, feeling as if they couldn't catch their breath and were about to suffocate again.
Why do they still have to talk!
At Fittler Square.
John looked at the hung - up phone in disbelief.
"She's in this situation and still dares to hang up on us?"
Where did she get the courage!
Aunt Holly slapped the sofa with her intact palm. "I've never seen someone so eager to die!"
The cousins beside her echoed, "Ungrateful! She was given a chance but didn't cherish it. If she dares to reject us now, after being tortured enough, it will cost her much more if she wants to beg for mercy later!"
"She should be tortured to death!" The little cousin, Alice, was full of venom on her face. "A stinky woman from China also dared to make me lose face. Cousin, you must order them to interrogate her strictly, the harsher the better! It's best to lock her up and starve her for a month! Isn't she arrogant? Isn't she crazy? Let's see how crazy she can be when she falls into our hands!"
"That's right! We should torture her severely first. We don't have to be afraid even if something goes wrong. Our Lowell family will back us up!"
John already hated Zhu Ning. After hearing such words, he naturally gained confidence and immediately called the UST.
The phone rang, and there was a twisted look of pleasure on his face as if he was about to get rich. After two seconds of ringing, the call was connected. He said, "You immediately..."
"Beep, beep."
John looked at the call - ended interface on his phone in a daze.
Hung up?
What's going on?
"It must be a misclick."
The cousins and sister beside him also had the same thought. "It must be a misclick, cousin. A little agent doesn't have the guts to hang up on you. Call back. He'll definitely answer!"
John immediately nodded and called back. The phone rang, and after a one - second pause, a smile appeared on his face. "It's conn..."
"Beep, beep."
The phone was hung up again.
John stood there stunned, looking at the call - ended page on the phone screen for one second, then two seconds.
Suddenly, he was extremely furious.
"He actually dared to hang up on me?!"
"A mere agent!"
A little character who only got to his current position by relying on the side branch of their Rockefeller family also dared to turn against him?
A feeling of being out of control, ignored, and humiliated filled John's mind. Almost instantly, he thought of the exclusion and contempt he had suffered in Yaoyang.
"I'll make him pay!"
Saying that, he immediately found the phone number of the general person in charge of the Philadelphia UST in his contact list, intending to let the man's superior put pressure on and deal with the man who dared to look down on him!
He called angrily. The other end answered immediately, and he immediately said, "I order you to..."
"You still dare to call!"
An equally furious voice came, which immediately made John's anger get stuck in his throat.
"You... are you talking to me...?"
"Who else if not you!" The voice on the other end was full of hatred and anger. "Do you know you almost got me killed!
"Going after Zhu Ning? With the current situation of your Rockefeller family, how could you cause so much trouble!
"Are you possessed by a devil? Do you want me to call a priest to exorcise you first! Do you know who Zhu Ning's lawyer is!"
A series of scolding left John completely dumbfounded. Not only him, but the entire Lowell family was also stunned.
After a two - second delay, John's chest heaved violently. He was so angry that his face turned red from his neck to his head. They were all rebelling! They were all rebelling!
He opened his mouth to scold, but Aunt Holly snatched the phone from him first and asked, "Who is Zhu Ning's lawyer?"
"Friedrich Heinrich!"
"He's Zhu Ning's personal lawyer now!"
"How is that possible?!"
Holly was so shocked that she stood up directly from the sofa, her eyes full of disbelief.
John's legs also went weak when he heard this name.
Heinrich... was Zhu Ning's personal lawyer?!
Why didn't he know such a big thing at all?
After a moment, he figured it out. "It was those people in Yaoyang who deliberately kept it from me! They blocked the information and wanted us to be their pawns!"
Holly obviously also figured it out. Her face turned pale instantly. "Tell them to let... let her go right away..."
"You don't need to tell us."
A strange male voice came at the same time as the ineffective shouts of the villa guards.
Holly and the others immediately looked over. Around the corner of the villa, a group of serious - looking suit - wearing elites strode over.
The faces that often appeared in financial newspapers along with Heinrich made Holly feel dizzy.
The people showed their business cards. "The personal lawyer group of Miss Zhu of LC.
"Our young lady seems to have suffered some injustice here.
"We've come to seek an explanation."
