Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 870

Sonia was not exaggerating at all. Toby's affections for her ran deep, and she believed that he would do anything she asked him to, even if it meant letting Anya off scot-free.

But would she ask him to do that?

Certainly not!

The man behind Anya was barking up the wrong tree with this plan of his.

True enough, Toby did not even have to refute the attorney's words, as the attorney himself quickly added, "I know that it's impossible, of course. President Fuller and I might go way back, but now we barely have any contact with each other. He would not choose to go easy on Anya just for my sake."

"Since you're well aware of that, then why did you accept the case anyway?" Sonia asked.

The attorney had full knowledge of her relationship with Toby, so he was very respectful to her as well. He smiled and explained, "For the very reason I mentioned earlier, money. Mr. Salzburg promised that as long as I met with President Fuller and pleaded the case to him, then I would be paid 5 million."

He held up his fingers to emphasize the amount.

Sonia gasped. "5 million? That's a lot of money indeed."

The attorney nodded in agreement. "Exactly! Combined with my retainer fee, I would be paid a total of slightly over 7 million. How could I say no to that?"

Sonia laughed. "That may be so, but what if you didn't manage to persuade Toby? Wouldn't they take the 5 million back?"

"Surprisingly, no." The attorney shook his head. "I've asked Miss Steinfeld about this before, since I'm thoroughly aware of the fact that my relationship with President Fuller was not one that held any sway over him. 1 was upfront about this to Mr. Salzburg as well, so he knows that it's an impossible task, but he insisted on trying anyway. Since he's determined to give it a go despite knowing the odds, then I have no qualms about accepting his money."

Sonia was beginning to admire this man's gumption. She gave him a thumbs up and asked, "Aren't you afraid of losing your credibility as an attorney?"

The attorney chuckled. "What's a little credibility when it comes to that much money?"

Sonia had no response for that. His life revolved around money, and it was exactly like how Toby described him.

Still, she could accept his point of view. After all, money did make the world go round.

Both she and Toby were hard at work amassing a fortune for themselves as well. If not, why else would they be slaving away for their respective companies?

"So you're here to plead clemency on behalf of Anya?" Finally, Toby spoke up once more, and his icy stare was fixed on the attorney.

The attorney adjusted his glasses and nodded. "Indeed, but only for the sake of making an attempt. Since I did agree to take this case, then I should at least give it a try even if I know that it won’t work. After all, I still need to do my job."

What a guy!
