Jojo and Coco's Unexpected Love novel Chapter 505

Joseph tilted his head, his face expressionless and his gaze indifferent. "Did they go to you for the lawsuit?"

Samuel was Joseph's high school classmate. After Joseph went abroad to establish his business, the Whitmans thought that he and Samuel had ceased contacting each other.

"Of course not. I’m too expensive for them to hire." Samuel looked proud but a look of disdain engulfed him soon after. "Jonathan hired the second best—that lawyer who is always one level weaker than me."

In the law industry, Samuel sat in the top spot while Victor Cottrell was in second.

Joseph tilted his head and snorted. "Victor Cottrell?"

“Right on the money."

"His father came here to make a scene today."

Samuel reacted. "So, this family knows Preston? Are they on the same boat?"

"Yes, they're the ones who will sink or swim together."

Samuel poured a glass of water and swiftly gulped it down. "What's your plan?"

Joseph shot his friend with a cold, scornful glare. "Can't you handle it?"

"Yes, I can, but I'm afraid that Mr. Harold will pester you about this."

After all, they were Harold’s descendants. If his grandson and son got into a fight, he would suffer the most given that he was the grandfather as well as the father.

"What’s Preston trying to sue me with?"

"Ungratefulness and disloyalty. He’s even claiming that you’re occupying family assets."

Joseph sounded rather absent-minded. "I look forward to this lawsuit."

"Aren't you afraid of becoming a target of scorn?" Samuel clicked his tongue. "The Whitmans are the top aristocratic family in Docwood. It’d be humiliating to bring such a mess to court."

Ordinary people cared about their prestige and image, let alone a rich aristocratic family like the Whitmans. Of course, this sort of family valued their reputation very much.

"Meet with Tavia when you have the time," Joseph suggested.

"Why? Do you want her to stop Preston?"
