Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
With Joyce's approval, Qin Suisui nodded secretly and continued, "Professor Joyce, our Huating Rodton Law Firm is here in Mexico for official business, not for personal reasons!"
“We represent the Law Offices of Rhodes, but now Duncan dares to break into my guest room so brazenly. Shouldn’t headquarters step in and give me an explanation?”
Joyce's brows furrowed instantly. He knew this girl wouldn't let it go so easily. He had been hoping for the best, thinking that Sheffield had only asked to review the surveillance footage. Who knew she was waiting for him to get away with this!
"Sheffield, so what's your stance?"
"I request that headquarters lodge a protest with South American Power and the Duncan family, Professor Joyce!"
She glanced at her watch. “Headquarters can contact South American Electric and the Duncan family immediately. It’s 2:17 a.m., Professor Joyce. You can tell them that I have video footage on my phone, a complete record of Duncan breaking in. I need a comprehensive written agreement providing me with personal compensation and a statement of punishment for Duncan by 8:00 a.m. this morning.”
Qin Suisui's voice was cold and indifferent, as if she were talking about something unremarkable.
"If they don't accept this demand, I will go to the police station to file a report at 8:00 AM tomorrow!"
"In addition, I will also post the videos I have on all social media platforms!"
Almost an hour had passed between Duncan breaking down the door and her opening fire. The Mexican State Hotel, a long-established hotel chain with over 300 hotels worldwide, a hotel that advertises butler service, had yet to have a single person come out to inquire about the situation.
Although her pistol was silenced, it's impossible for such a serious incident to occur in the corridor of a well-known brand hotel without anyone noticing. The only explanation is the status of the Duncan family in this hotel.
She was seething with anger. Did they think she was easy to bully? Then let's see who's tougher.
Sheffield's threat sent chills down Joyce's spine; the last time Sheffield had been angry was when he had just joined the Law Offices of Rhodes.
She took on a murder case that no one else wanted to handle.
Everyone in the law firm was secretly watching her make a fool of herself, eager to see how this delicate beauty, Xie Fei, would sink into darkness and become corrupt.
He also tried to dissuade them, after all, the person who committed the crime was the number three figure in the most notorious gang in all of M.
Unexpectedly, it was this stubborn Xie Fei who, after half a year of planning, managed to send the other party to prison.
To this day, he still doesn't know how Sheffield communicated with the other two gang leaders to get their tacit approval.
A year later, Sheffield once again made him experience that same heart-pounding, unpredictable feeling.
He couldn't help but warn, "Sheffield, the Duncan family isn't like those crude guys from Morin Road. They would never allow a family member to be humiliated outside because of your threats, even if Duncan is unforgivable!"
This involves family honor, and which of those established families doesn't put family reputation first?
Sheffield wants them to expose their weaknesses now? How could that be possible?
"Professor Joyce, then let me break their obsession!"
Qin Suisui smiled calmly: "They may not realize that this is no longer the era of centralized media. Capital can use money and power to exert targeted pressure or bribe a few newspapers or reporters to escape punishment at will!"
"We live in the era of self-media, and they are facing a global audience of over a billion users. If they don't want to wake up the day after tomorrow to find their family scandals trending online, their family group's stock plummeting, and more family secrets being exposed, leading to a domino effect, then let them do as they please!"
Sheffield's words instantly cheered Joyce up.
He suddenly remembered that the media was no longer controlled by one or a few media outlets, especially since Sheffield came from the mysterious country of Z. It was said that the people there were extremely hostile to bullying and oppression, and hated those who abused their power. If it was really as serious as Sheffield said, it might even implicate the Law Offices of Rodton.
Thinking about this, Joyce had a terrible headache. He had long known that Sheffield was definitely a troublemaker.
The greater one's ability, the greater one's capacity to cause trouble!
He said irritably, "Sheffield, Professor Joyce will be implicated and beaten to death by you one day!"
"Give me a few hours, I'll test the waters with South American Electric!"
After saying that, he hung up Xie Fei's phone. He reached up and ran his hand through his thinning hair, his temples throbbing even more.
Currently, the only option seems to be to start with South American Electric. South American Electric and Duncan only have a business relationship, and there are many voices within the company that are unfavorable to Duncan. Only by getting South American Electric to make a firm decision to abandon Duncan can we then begin to negotiate with the Duncan family.
"Ugh! This is such a headache!"
He could predict that when he called Hunter later, old Hunter would be furious. Old Hunter already had a lot of complaints about the South American Electric incident.
But that bastard Duncan!
Joyce felt a surge of anger whenever he thought of Duncan, that lustful bastard.
They actually broke into Sheffield's room! Do they really think their Law Offices are just for show?
Joyce was now far from the conciliatory attitude she had shown when she was communicating with Sheffield earlier.
With a serious expression, he dialed Hunter's home phone directly.
At this time, Old Hunter would definitely be asleep with his phone off, and the only way to reach him would be to call his home.
"Hello!"
Hunter's confused and agitated voice came through the microphone.
Joyce stated bluntly: "Hunter is me!"
