Stand Me Up? I'll Marry His Billionaire Uncle novel Chapter 157

"Director Harrison, I know Attorney Glenn guards his reputation carefully, but no matter how much he values Sunny, there has to be a limit, right?"

Marcus turned his laptop to face Alfven. "Look, this is the newcomer SkyVault has been pushing lately. And Jerry—the one accusing her of plagiarism—actually reached out to Attorney Carrington at our firm not long ago."

Alfven's brow furrowed. "Are you suggesting Sunny contacted Jerry in private, and represented him personally to sue SkyVault for copyright infringement?"

Marcus gave a sly smile. "Director Harrison, it's even worse than that! She referred Jerry to Pinnacle Legal Partners! Think about it—she sent a client to our rival firm, just to cause trouble for one of our biggest clients. How can we tolerate that?"

"Director, here's the kicker—this whole thing was tipped off to me by Magnus's assistant at Lawson Corporation. Isn't this just asking for trouble? They're not just messing with our client, they're going after the boss's own family. Of course he's going to demand an explanation."

Summit Legal wasn't just SkyVault's legal counsel; they were also handling the major merger case for Lawson Corporation.

It was basic industry sense—you don't turn against the people who feed you.

This was the kind of misstep that could ruin a career.

Alfven's expression grew grave. "So, Magnus's assistant actually sounded the alarm to you over something like this?"

"Director Harrison, if you don't believe me, I can show you our chat logs."

"You don't realize how serious this is—the SkyVault star in question? She's actually Mr. Lawson's fiancée. They're getting married next month!"

Alfven took the phone from Marcus, sighing inwardly. Well, that explained everything.

His two right-hand men had never gotten along, and now Wyatt's protégé had left them wide open for attack. He couldn't afford to play favorites.

"I understand. I'll provide a full explanation to both SkyVault and Lawson Corporation."

Marcus left the office, thoroughly satisfied.

Vanessa was waiting just outside. As soon as he emerged, she stepped up and whispered, "What did Director Harrison say?"

Marcus flashed a confident smile. "Handled."

"Will they punish Wyatt?"

He shook his head. "Doubt it. Most likely, Sunny will be the one to take the fall."

Her suspension notice was broadcast to the company chat group.

As Sunny pulled into the parking garage, her phone wouldn't stop buzzing.

[Xander: Sunny, what happened? HR just posted your suspension in the main group—are you okay?]

[Lily Williams: Sunny, are you all right? Are you at the office? Did you see the announcement in the main chat?]

Sunny glanced at the screen and replied selectively.

"I just got to the parking lot. I'll be up in a minute," she messaged Lily.

Meanwhile, in Alfven's office, Wyatt was pushing back hard.

"Director Harrison, why are you suspending Sunny?"

Alfven looked pained. "Wyatt, I know how much you value your protégé, but there are principles we have to uphold. Didn't she help Jerry bring a copyright suit against SkyVault? If she'd kept it quiet and no one found out, maybe I could have overlooked it. But this time, Magnus from Lawson Corporation is involved—and we're handling their merger case. Do you really think that's appropriate?"
