Olivia had a clear understanding of Sullivan Group’s and Levine Group’s cases after a few days of
deliberation.
The two parties would go to court in two days.
The other party’s defense lawyer was Earna. Even though Olivia was Inferno, she didn’t dare to
underestimate him.
In court, it was all about evidence. One never knew what cards the opponent had in his hand until he
played them. If one thought the other side had bad cards, it might be a Joker.
In that case, Sullivan Group, as the plaintiff, appealed that Levine Group had breached the cross-
licencing agreement and constituted patent infringement against Sullivan Group, directly causing
losses of 1 billion dollars to Sullivan Group.
The strangest thing about the case was the cross-licencing agreement had been signed when the two
companies were on good terms. The terms were not specific and clear, and they were all strategic
framework terms.
Later, a dispute arose between the two companies over profit sharing, and they had a fallout with each
other. After the standoff, Levine Group relied on its huge legal team to refuse to pay the patent
licensing fee. In addition, they maliciously oppressed Sullivan Group and seized its client resources by
various means.
As a result, Sullivan Group had an uphill battle to fight.
Kimberly knew that Olivia had been focusing on Vincent’s case recently. On the other hand, Larson
Corporation was on the right track. With Frederick, a loyal and capable CEO’s personal assistant, she
could relax a bit.
With the court date looming, Kimberly told Frederick that she would not be going to the company that
day and that he would be fully responsible for the company’s affairs. She also told him to deliver any
documents that needed to be signed to the Larson residence at three o’clock in the afternoon.
Few people knew that Inferno consisted of two people. Apart from Olivia, the other person was
Kimberly.
In fact, Olivia could handle the case herself, but Kimberly had to maximize the chances of winning
since it was Vincent’s case. Hence, she planned to study the case with Olivial today and see if they
could find some more breakthroughs.
In the study of the Larson residence, there was an enormous work desk where two attractive women
sat together and transformed themselves into formidable legal
professionals.
“Without these pieces of evidence gathered through special channels, our chances of winning the case
are low. No wonder Levine Group is being so arrogant,” Olivia clearly stated.
Kimberly read them carefully. They were all evidence that Levine Group had robbed Sullivan Group of
its client resources through various means. Unexpectedly, Timothy Griffin, the key figure in the patent,
had many ambiguous relationships with Levine Group, and they shared a considerable mutual interest.
Kimberly reread the appeal and thought it was near enough nowhere. Even if Sullivan Group won, the
price paid by Levine Group seemed too small. That would be merciful to Christopher.

to do business without fraud.
She smiled cun ni ngly and said gloatingly, “Given this information, it seems that even with Earna,
Levine Group has little chance of reversing the situation.
“But do you think my appeal is too cheap?”
Olivia was startled when she heard what Kimberly said. She stopped reading the information and
looked at the latter. “What do you mean?”
Olivia had the feeling Kimberly was already planning a party to celebrate before the trial was held.
When Kimberly saw Olivia’s confused face, she calmly took
a sip of water and then. eloquently said, “We have a good chance of winning this case. You can ask
Vincent to pay more, but he doesn’t have to pay with his money. Just let Christopher do it.”
Kimberly then casually wrote the number “2” on the tablet in front of Olivia. “1 billion dollars is too small
an amount for their company. We can add another 2 billion dollars. to the compensation.”
Olivia’s focus had been on gathering evidence, and she hadn’t given much thought to the appeal
Vincent had provided.
She smiled and pointed at Kimberly, saying, “You’re a genius! If Christopher found out about your plan
would he not want to devour you?”
Kimberly knew Olivia was teasing her. Still, she replied, “You heartless bit ch, I’m doing. this for you.
Money is not everything, but it is a good thing. Besides, it would be a waste not to take advantage of
such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
For Kimberly, Katherine had always been her reference point, as she had always. followed Christopher
in the past and had lived a humble life, but he had not
appreciated her and had even bullied her with other women. So now she just wanted to take the
opportunity to get revenge on him.
However, given that Earna would defend Christopher, Kimberly was somewhat wary, even though she
had never dealt with Earna before.
Victory often came from an unexpected piece of information in court. They might have evidence against
the other party, but the other party might also have one against them. Kimberly instinctively reminded
herself to be cautious.
After a moment of silence, she asked, “Is there any way we can get Mr. Griffin to testify in court?”
Olivia said frankly, “It’s almost impossible unless he has a conscience. If he confesses his betrayal, it
will be difficult for him to survive in the industry in the future.”
She continued, “However, Mr. Griffin’s son has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant. He is
desperately searching for a compatible bone marrow donor. If we can help him find one, I think there’s
a good chance he’ll be willing to testify in court.”
Whenever Kimberly heard about medicine, she thought of her second older brother, Edward. Given his
prestige and connections in the industry, it should not be too difficult for him.
It would be safer with Timothy as a witness, even if they had a good chance of winning with the
available evidence.
“I think Edward can help us with this problem. It seems that luck is on our side this time,” Kimberly said
with a smile.
Kimberly dialed Edward’s number, and before she could speak, Edward spoke first, “Kimberly, the
herbal medicines you asked me to collect last time are ready. I will. arrange for workers to deliver them
tomorrow.”
‘Hahaha, Edward is truly a responsible person. Or, does he think I don’t trust him?” Kimberly thought.
When she heard Edward’s eager voice, she laughed heartily. “Edward, I’m in no hurry. Besides, do you
think I don’t trust you?” After a pause, she continued, “I’m calling to ask you for another favor.”
She then explained the whole matter to Edward, emphasizing the stakes of Timothy’s appearance in
court.
When Edward heard that it was about Vincent and Kimberly, he was very concerned.
“No problem. This thing is not difficult for me. It’s just that the timeline is a bit tight. No worries. Wait for
my news.”
