Paul was angered and about to leave, but when he reached the doorway, he remembered his friend's request and gritted his teeth, stopping his steps and returning to James.
"James, why don't you hire Anthony to handle the lawsuit? He's known as a top-notch lawyer..."
James gave him a cold glance.
"Evans has a legal team and has never lost a lawsuit."
"It's different this time. This is your personal matter, and fighting for custody is something that should be left to professionals, it increases the chances of winning."
"Are you using this as an opportunity to reconcile Anthony and Edith?"
Caught off guard, Paul immediately fell silent and nodded at him.
"You also know that Anthony breaking up with my sister was because of my parents' pressure."
Edith was unaware of this, only James, Rebecca, and Paul knew the truth.
At that time, Paul's parents despised Anthony, believing he had a negative influence on Paul and took Edith away.
They used Anthony's family and Edith's future to threaten and emotionally manipulate Anthony, forcing him to find an excuse to break up with Edith.
As for the exact excuse Anthony used, Paul didn't know. All he knew was that if it wasn't for his parents, his friend and his sister would not have broken up.
Although later on, his parents showed signs of regret for their extreme actions, Edith was not willing to reconcile.
"Your sister has moved on."
So many years have passed, it can be said that time has healed the wounds. It's not very meaningful to try to bring them back together now.
"But he hasn't moved on from her."
