Chapter 0057
“To the hospital!” I screamed, my voice rising above the rush of wind and honks of cars as Luigi roughly bypassed them all.
“Yes ma’am!” He shouted back.
Later, he slowed down and I didn’t feel the pressing need to clutch to his midriff anymore. “You can let go now,” he chuckled, “You won’t fall.”
“Hahaha,” I shot back sarcastically.
I felt the tremor of his body as he chuckled. “Relax, I’m not Mark,” he said as I let go.
I didn’t say anything back to him. I simply brought out my phone and immediately put a call through to my lawyer. As I dialed the number, I felt my anger burn anew in me. Those jerks! They’ll see.
My lawyer picked up and I immediately ordered loudly, “I want to sue Joel and Sandra, those two bastards! Be prepared.”
There was silence on the other end and I wondered if he hung up or something. I pulled the phone from my ear to check but the call was still on. I was about to give him a piece of my mind concerning his unnecessary silence when he spoke up.
He repeated their names together with their surnames hesitatingly, “You mean those two?”
“Yes!”
He hesitated again. “They’re the ones you want to sue? His words were laced with disbelief.
“Godammit! Yes!” ! Yes!”
“But Sydney, they both come from extremely wealthy and influential families,” he blabbered on, his voice hitching occasionally as if he was hyperventilating. “Especially Sandra, her father has massive influence in politics. He’s even preparing to run for state senator. Suing them will be like a felony. We would encounter a lot of troubles, financially and every way you could think. It’s not worth the risk, Sydney,” he finished, his harsh breath sounding over the phone.
“Are you scared?” I raised my brows and asked incredulously.
“Well, I’m not,” he stammered, “But-”
I started slowly, my voice gradually rising, “I don’t give a fucking damn! If you want to be a chicken, then get me a well grounded lawyer who isn’t a pussy! No matter the cost! Hire them!” I roared, “I want those two to pay for what they did.”
There was another irritating silence again then he voiced out, his voice so small I could barely hear him over the soft purr of the engine. “Okay, boss. I will put on the agenda and start to work on filing a case against them as soon as possible.”
“Good!” I bit out and hung up.
My fingers still scrolled unhinged through my call logs. I stopped when I found the contact I was looking for and dialed the number.
