Chapter 958
Chase, despite the excruciating pain, took his eyes off the floor, swaying a bit as he made his way to Liana’s hospital bed
Liana was a bit taken aback after hearing why Chase had come to see her
She thought that after Chase and Will had called it quits, he’d given up But, surprisingly, he had been planning all along on how to get Tyler behind bars.
“My client is about to go to court with Tyler and we need you to testify” he said.
Liana appeared dazed and Chase’s expression grew serious in response
“Based on your expression, it seems like you’re not enthusiastic about going through with the lawsuit against Tyler, right?” Chase remarked
Liana shook her head. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to proceed, rather, she felt that it would be a futile battle.
Who was Tyler, truly? Was he someone who could be easily taken down?
“If you’re not interested, then tell Mr. Webb to drop the charges. Don’t waste my time,” Chase stated, unaware of the history between Liana and Tyler.
Chase assumed that Liana might still have feelings for Tyler, so he decided not to push the matter further.
As he got up to leave, Liana suddenly said, “Mr. Chase, if I agree to testify, how sure are you that we can win?”
Chase paused, turned to look at her. “That depends on you. Do you really want to put him behind bars?”
According to the information provided by Will, Tyler had taken Liana away on the day they got their marriage certificate and violated her.
When Chase asked why Tyler would do such a thing. Will was reluctant to discuss it, clearly wanting to protect Liana’s privacy.
But how could you keep something like this from the lawyer in a lawsuit?
Chase, being a top–tier lawyer in the country, understood the importance of having all the facts straight before going to court. His reputation and position demanded meticulous preparation. That’s why he sought out Liana for more details.
Liana genuinely wanted to see Tyler held accountable for his actions, as his harassment had taken a toll on her. However, she doubted their ability to successfully prosecute him or predict the length of his potential sentence.
“I’m worried that not only will we lose the case, but it might also provoke him further…” Liana expressed her concerns, fearing the possible retaliation from Tyler. She felt scared and unsure of her ability to handle any consequences.
Observing Liana’s vulnerability, Chase took a moment before speaking quietly, “I have never lost a case…”
Chase recognized that it might not be appropriate to make such confident statements to his clients as a lawyer. However, witnessing Liana’s helplessness reminded him of when Sigrid had faced bullying from foreigners. Perhaps it was due to this personal experience that his sympathy was triggered, prompting him to offer reassurance
His words gave Liana some confidence.
She put her hand on her knee, clenched her fist, and nodded at Chase.
Now that Will had come this far, she couldn’t back down at a crucial moment
After leaving the hospital, Chase received a text message. It was about a new case.
He frowned for a few seconds, quickly scrolled through his contacts, and called Will.
“Mr. Webb, I’m sorry, but could your case wait a few days?”
Will was a bit surprised to receive this call.
“Mr. Chase, how long are we talking about?”
The lawyer Will had initially hired wasn’t Chase. He had switched to Chase in hopes of increasing their chances of putting Tyler behind bars.
Chase was a top-notch lawyer who had never lost a case Getting him on board was no easy feat.
“I’m currently dealing with a child custody case”
Will was a bit anxious. He had to get rid of Tyler before he could bring Liana back into his life.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
