Chapter 1128: Who Is the One You Really Can’t Afford to Offend?
The lawsuit Watt Bennet instigated involves compensation, damages for mental distress, injuries caused by the accident, and a suite of claims regarding the time lost by Summer Sutton due to this incident.
Summer Sutton, because of this accident, must stay in the hospital for an entire day, excluding seven hours of work time. The rest of her time belongs to Morningview.
Summer Sutton currently manages so many companies within the Morningview Group, her time, even just an hour, probably starts at tens of millions.
The cost of a day’s delay, few can afford to pay.
Summer Sutton has a contract with Royal Delight; injuries sustained at work can be directly claimed against Royal Delight.
However, the compensation Watt Bennet is planning to sue for is so enormous, how can the program group have the guts to explain the situation to Royal Delight?
Moreover, for this incident, there were so many staff members present, yet no one cared for her life, causing the accident; with such negligence, how can the program group have the face to inform the company?
Not to mention the rumor that Summer Sutton is someone with Manuel Ink’s special attention.
After receiving the lawyer’s letter commissioned by Watt Bennet that night, the program group looked at the amount being sued again and again, completely shocked.
Ten billion!
Precisely ten billion!
How much is the annual salary of this group of program staff?
Probably working a lifetime could never pay it back, right?
Previously, when they saved Lorraine Hughes, instead of Summer Sutton, the staff felt Summer Sutton’s life was cheap, thinking paying tens of thousands would settle it.
But unexpectedly, she is even more unaffordable than Lorraine Hughes!
Upon receiving the lawyer’s letter, the entire program group panicked.
Watt Bennet has hired Blake Lane, currently the most authoritative lawyer in the country.
So far, there is no record of losing any case.
This matter cannot be reported to Royal Delight’s superiors; to speak the truth, the company surely wouldn’t help, and might even sweep everyone out!
The program group, especially the few staff who didn’t rescue Summer Sutton today, were truly terrified. That night, before Summer Sutton was discharged, several people bought imported fruits, nourishing bird’s nest, shark’s fin, and the like, and came to the hospital to apologize.
"Miss Sutton, we made a mistake. Today’s incident was our negligence. We were really frightened by Miss Hughes at the time and briefly lost sight of you. Please don’t hold it against us. We promise this won’t happen again."
"Miss Sutton, you have a big heart. Please don’t hold it against us. Withdraw the claim; we have family to support too. Even if we split the ten billion, we could never repay it in a lifetime!"
"Yes, indeed, Miss Sutton, please don’t hold it against us. We were blind to your importance. Now we understand your relationship with Morningview Group, we’ll ensure not to slight you in the future!"
Several staff members kept speaking, almost to the point of kneeling.
Watt Bennet was also present, watching coldly, his face expressionless.
He actually knew all along that ten billion is something these people could never pay; the lawsuit was merely to show them whose life is truly valuable.
For any future dealings in the company concerning Summer Sutton, these people would not dare to slight her.
Watt Bennet’s goal was only this.
"I want some peace; you’re a bit noisy." Summer Sutton paid little attention to them, turned her gaze away, and closed her eyes intending to rest.
Watt Bennet directly issued an eviction order to the group.
They had no choice but to leave for now.
Afraid that Summer Sutton wouldn’t forgive, they waited outside for a long time, pacing back and forth before finally leaving the hospital.
