All Chapters of From Trash to Titan: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

The veins across the back of Edmunds hand bulged with sheer fury!The thought that their lapdogs at Bell Precision were not only looking to break free, but actually intended to take Harcourt’s place, made his stomach churn with hatred. That small workshop had survived on whatever crumbs Harcourt tossed under the bench. And now they wanted to take their masters place and they themselves become the masters? That was unacceptable!How could a pathetic pack of factory hands dare to dream of climbing onto their heads? Did Philip Bell truly believe an obscure machine shop could challenge an established family?“He’ll regret it,” Edmund said coldly. “Him and his daughter will.”Jay turned toward the lead attorney with hatred burning in his eyes.“I think we shouldn't go easy on them,” Jay said sharply. “Can we still add this before the hearing?”Dominic leaned forward in confusion. “What are you talking about? Add what?”“Maxwell Sterling is at Bell Precision right this minute!” Jay snappe

Maxwell could remain silent if he wanted. That would hardly make the questions disappear. People watching the news would see him walking past the microphones while the accusations went unanswered.Would they believe he had everything under control?Or would they wonder whether the Harcourts were right?Jay glanced at Dominic.His cousin was watching Maxwell too. When their eyes met, Dominic gave him a faint, knowing smile.Jay stepped away from their lawyer, and Dominic followed.He had no intention of allowing Maxwell to walk quietly into the courthouse. After everything that had happened, how could he pass up the chance to confront him in front of this many cameras?Several reporters noticed the cousins approaching. “Mr. Harcourt!”Jay ignored the call. His attention remained fixed on Maxwell as the reporters shifted to give them room.Their interest immediately grew.They had been struggling to obtain a single answer from Maxwell. Now the Harcourts were coming over to speak to him

The Harcourts’ lawyer remained standing at the center podium. He collected his documents, his tone suddenly changing tone with theatrical urgency.“Your Honor, we also ask this court to consider an emergency statement regarding events that unfolded at Bell Precision this very morning!”Across the aisle, Jay straightened up in his seat, his eyes burning with vicious excitement.This was it! The explosive intelligence he had brought back from the factory floor was finally going to be used to smash Maxwell Sterling into the dirt. ‘You lose, I win, Sterling,’ Jay thought to himself, a cruel sneer spreading behind his teeth.Even before the judge could announce a formal decision from the bench, Jay was already celebrating the taste of total victory in his heart!How could he not celebrate? In less than twenty-four hours, Maxwell had dragged the Harcourt name through the mud! That bastard had ordered security guards to throw Jay out of the Sterling lobby, exposed their confidential Zenith

Maxwell, Natasha and the lawyer left the courtroom not long after. The heavy oak doors of the courtroom swung shut behind them, cutting off the noise of packing briefcases and murmuring spectators.Maxwell walked down the wide corridor with casual steps, his jacket unbuttoned. Beside him, Natasha walked with hurried strides, holding a thick leather folder against her side. Her face was flushed with anger, and she could no longer hold back what she had witnessed inside that room."That was not a normal hearing Max," Natasha said, her voice filled with disbelief. "It was shocking. From the very second that judge took the bench, she had already decided she was going to rule against us and hand the Harcourts everything they wanted!"Maxwell listened to her and didn't comment on it yet. But wasn't that the plain truth? Anyone with eyes could see what had just happened!"Look at how she handled the arguments," Natasha continued, counting the blatant contradictions on her fingers. "The mome

Maxwell nodded. “It’s possible.” At this point he was almost entirely sure, some kind of injustice was happening. “That’s a serious allegation, Maxwell.”“The Zeniths managed to keep Dorian’s release hidden for six months. Is it impossible that someone influenced this hearing too?”Maxwell looked towards the courthouse. “Even if nobody paid her, she still wasn’t fair.”The lawyer had no answer to that.“Can we appeal this?” Maxwell asked.Before he could reply, a fresh wave of shouting drew their attention towards the steps.Edmund Harcourt had emerged with his lawyer.The two attorneys noticed each other immediately. Sterlings industries and Harcourt industries had faced one another more than ten times, representing different clients. Every encounter had given them another reason to dislike each other.Harcourt’s lawyer smiled as they approached.“I trust your client understands the order?”“He understands it,” Sterling’s lawyer replied. “You can leave advising him to me.”“Of cour
