Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1726

The two of them walked into the courthouse lobby one after the other. It did not take long for all those former classmates to arrive. The waiting area, which had been relatively quiet, instantly dissolved into a chaotic clamor. As soon as several of the male classmates spotted Sylvia sitting in a corner, they aggressively surrounded her.

"Sylvia, we were classmates, and we finally had a nice reunion. You do not have to drag everyone to court, do you?" one man demanded.

"You are not suing the people who actually assaulted you, but you are going after us innocent bystanders. How can you be so unreasonable?" another added.

"Yeah, this whole thing has absolutely nothing to do with us. We were just there for the fun of it. Suing us indiscriminately is way too tyrannical!"

The single male classmates were especially indignant, their faces twisted with self righteous anger. "You are a female CEO of a big company in the Capital now. Is it really worth being this petty with us ordinary folks? You mailed subpoenas to our homes right during the holidays. My parents nearly had heart attacks from the shock! How am I supposed to find a wife now? How can someone be this scheming!"

Accusation after accusation and insult after insult were hurled directly at Sylvia, making it sound as though they were the helpless victims, rather than her being the one who had been drugged and nearly assaulted. Sylvia remained seated on the bench, her sunglasses firmly in place and her face utterly expressionless. She sat with her back perfectly straight and her hands folded neatly in her lap, not offering them a single glance. No matter how vicious their words became, she acted as if she could not hear them at all. It was not until the courtroom doors opened and the judge and clerk stepped out that the rowdy crowd finally quieted down, filing into the trial room with sudden trepidation.
