Chapter 970 Enjoy the Show
Time flew fast. It was the day of their court hearing.
For a few days, Norman's family anticipated Elisa would be open for a discussion.
Elisa had wholly ignored their attempts to contact her.
They were worried but didn't believe Elisa could do anything deceitful to the contract. They thought it
was a scare tactic.
So…
The solution they eventually came up with was to keep waiting. If push came to shove, they would go
to court. After all, the family had already damaged their reputation, and everyone knew what had
happened. Whether they paid or not, people would talk. It was better for them to enjoy the benefits and
demonstrate their power so that others wouldn't have anything to say.
And so, amidst their internal conflict, the day of the trial came.

Elisa had already taken her seat.
Meanwhile, Norman had sought out an elite lawyer who had been very confident in the contract's
validity. He didn't believe there were any issues.
He began to feel uneasy after learning that Elisa opted to represent herself.
The judge was ready.
Naturally, Charli and Rachel came and sat in the audience seats. Rachel's eyes were filled with
excitement.
Rachel expressed, "This is great! We get to see Elisa in court again, and she always looks so cool at
times like these!" She had an overly excited expression.
Charli chuckled, "You can do it too in the future."
Rachel sighed helplessly. She replied, "Elisa is an expert. I don't expect to catch up to her. I'll be
satisfied with just one-fifth of her ability!"

Charli couldn't help but smile. However, she also knew there weren't many geniuses like Elisa. Charli
thought that even the most eloquent lawyer couldn't compare to her.
What Rachel said is true because being on par with one-fifth of Elisa's expertise would make a person
a formidable lawyer.
The judge sat in the main seat and nodded to the person beside him. That person instantly understood
and spoke to the crowd, "Let's begin."
Since Elisa was the plaintiff, she naturally had to speak first.
Elisa glanced lightly at Norman sitting across from her and spoke confidently into the microphone, "The
defendant has been holding onto my shares without returning them. Today, I am suing for the return of
the shares and the profits earned during this period."
"Please allow the defendant to make a statement," said the judge.
Norman's lawyer refuted, "The plaintiff's argument is wrong. The shares were not being held but rather

were transferred previously. The plaintiff has no right to retrieve them."
As he spoke, Norman's lawyer pulled out the contract.
Elisa remained calm as she said, "That contract is full of loopholes and is invalid. I had temporarily
loaned it to my uncle to help him manage the company and give him some authority. However, over
time, Norman seemed to forget who the shares belonged to and is holding onto them with this flawed
contract."
Rachel gritted her teeth and whispered, "Elisa must be furious, or else she wouldn't have brought this
up in front of so many people. It's a family matter, and Norman has no shame. He's holding onto
something that doesn't belong to him, and this company isn't even his. How can he be this
shameless?!"
Rachel was angry on Elisa's behalf. She found it hard to express her rage.
Charli couldn't help but laugh and said, "Elisa won't let him get away with this. Just sit back and enjoy
the show."
Rachel smiled and said, "You're right!"
