Chapter 476
Jean hummed in response.
"I know."
Jean looked determined as she said solemnly, "But we need to do something.We can't let them dictate our moves.We need to do something."
Miles hesitated before saying, "Sure, I will contact them."
He took a few steps toward the door but suddenly stopped and turned around.
After a brief pause, he said, "Mr.Royden had instructed me not to tell you about the child and to stay here with you."
Jean smiled conspiringly.
"I'll keep it a secret."
Hiram Zimmer came to Jean's hospital room that afternoon.
He was in his early forties and had a gentlemanly demeanor.He spoke with a classic southern accent.
"Ms.Eyer, what is the matter? Please get to the point.I still have many things to deal with."
"It's only a minor matter; Jean replied evenly.Hiram’s eyes flickered with annoyance.
"Ms.Eyer, logically speaking, I have no obligation to come here to see you.You and Mr.Royden are divorced, so you have no right to order anyone in Royden Group."
The latter half of his speech was directed at Miles.
Miles frowned but did not speak.
"That's all I have to say.I'll take my leave."
He got up to leave.
"I wish to appoint a lawyer in my capacity to sue someone in court."
Jean smiled and continued, "I wish to sue Sherry Summer, the heiress of Pinnacle Group"
"What?"
Hiram did not expect those words from Jean.He frowned and considered for a while before coming closer.
"I apologize, Ms.Eyer.I truly do not have time to accept any other cases"
"You can name your fees."
Jean looked at him calmly.
Hiram briefly considered and shook his head with a smile, "Ms.Eyer, stop joking.Mr.Royden's ongoing cases involve billions.If you have the money, you should consider helping Mr.Royden to get out of his troubles."
"You're mistaken.Edgar and I are divorced.We have nothing to do with each other."
Jean blinked and continued, "Miles and I are friends, and I asked him to recommend a lawyer to me.Did that make you think there's still something between Edgar and me?"
Hiram was rendered speechless.He could not find anything wrong with Jean's words.
"Furthermore, Edgar is doomed.He lost his company and is now riddled with lawsuits.I would have to be stupid to side with him’ Jean smiled elegantly.
"Mr.Zimmer, are you assuming I'm an idiot?"
Miles was confused upon hearing her.He could not figure out what Jean was planning.
Yet, Hiram believed her and began discussing Jean's case earnestly.
"But you don't have definite proof.I'm afraid it will be difficult to win."
Jean was unconcerned.
"If this were an easy case, why would I need to spend so much money to hire you?"
Hiram hesitated before saying, "All right.I'll consider it and research it before we discuss this further."
"Sure.Thank you, Mr.Zimmer."
As soon as Hiram left the room, Jean turned to Miles.
"Is everything ready?"
Miles nodded.
"Keith is already waiting at the door.He will let us know if Hiram meets with anyone."
After saying that, Miles hesitated.
