It was at that moment that I knew Cindy was the most perceptive among us.
Sensing my silence, she added, "You don't need to convince me. It was Bruce's decision to press charges against her. I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Cindy hung up after saying that, not giving me the chance to convince her.
Then, when I recalled what Caroline had said before, I felt a sense of unease in my heart.
Since I'd failed to convince them, we could only find a lawyer just in case anything happened.
Caroline and I knew of two lawyers that were responsible for civil cases. However, they immediately turned down the case after hearing the plaintiff was from Roeval Group's legal department.
Caroline stomped her feet in anger. "Look at how cowardly they are!"
But I could understand where they were coming from. After all, nobody wanted to stir up trouble for themselves.
It was unsure where Douglas got wind of this, but he brought a lawyer in charge of legal cases to our studio.
Caroline and I were extremely grateful.
The lawyer advised us, "It'll all boil down to the evidence. Although the café has CCTV, it's too far to record what exactly happened. I think we can ask the staff about the entire story."
Upon hearing this, at least Caroline and I now knew how to proceed.
Before sunset, Douglas and I got the employee's recording and arranged a meeting with Cindy.
When Cindy saw Douglas and me, she was stunned. She asked, "Nancy, why did you guys ask me to come?"
Douglas and I exchanged glances before passing the recording to Cindy. "Ms. Lane, this is a recording from the café's staff. You can listen to it."
Cindy's face turned pale. "What… What recording?"
I patiently answered, "A staff member said that you guys had a fight before Anika splashed coffee on you."
