Chapter 55
That night, Jane and Hugh texted each other.
After that, they returned home.
It was so late that it was time to shower and sleep.
Then only they said goodbye to each other.
Hugh said goodnight first.
Jane then replied to him good night either.
Jane looked at his chat history with Hugh again.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
She wondered what kind of conversation was this.
What a joke!
That night, the two of them slept soundly.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
At the Fowler residence.
Jack looked at the court notice with a livid expression.
“The trial is in two days. ****it…”
Jack gritted his teeth.
These days, Jack and Anna had used countless methods.
None of them could contact Andy.
Not to mention asking Andy not to help Jane with this lawsuit.
Still, they wondered what the relationship between Andy and Jane was.
Perhaps…
Jane was hiding something from them!
They could not believe that Jane could actually talk with Andy!
Unfortunately, Jack and Anna could only find another alternative.
They decided to find a lawyer who can go against Andy!
After all, Jane did not have the most important evidence to prove that Jack had slandered and hurt Lila, which was the surveillance video!
Fortunately, Anna had Dwayne follow and destroy all the evidence last time!
Although Jane still had other evidence, the Fowler family was relieved when she did not have the most crucial one.
However, no matter how famous the lawyers were, all of them tried to curry favor with them the ****they heard that the Fowler Corporation wanted them to help with the lawsuit. Anyhow, when they heard that Jane’s representative lawyer was Andy, they were instantly frightened and turned them down, saying that they could not help.
For them, to go against Andy was no different than asking for humiliation. In the legal world, Andy was considered a god. It was fine if they lost to Andy because no one would laugh at them. However, the most terrifying thing was that they would be seen as overestimating themselves and therefore ruining their reputation!
Hence…
Jack and Anna had not even found a recognized lawyer to help them with this lawsuit!
Anna walked into the study with a solemn expression.
It was Dwayne who was following behind her.
“Jack, I’ve asked all the famous lawyers in the neighboring city, but no one is willing to take the lawsuit.” she said.
Anna really did not expect this.
No matter how tempting the price they offered, they would immediately say that they could not take the case and hung up after they heard it was Andy.
They did not even care if they would offend the Fowler family.
Obviously, going against Andy was a nightmare that every lawyer was afraid of!
Anna knew how powerful Andy was, but she did not expect that Andy would actually be such a terrifying presence in the law field.
Jack scratched his head in frustration. He took out a cigarette and lit it up, took a deep puff, and blew out a smoke ring.
Jack usually didn’t smoke. He would only smoke when he was in a particularly irritable mood. Ever since he became successful, he had
stopped smoking for Anna.
This time, he was really frustrated by Jane!
Anna also knew that Jack was in a bad mood. Hence, she did not stop him and looked troubled.
Ever since the last time when he broke off with Jane, he thought that he could find another method. However, he did not expect that the Fowler family’s strength alone was far from enough to solve this problem!
Now, Anna couldn’t even go to see Jane and play the victim card.
Dwayne said, “Dad, ***, why don’t… we tell Henry about this?”
As the court session had yet to start, the Fowler family had tried their best to suppress this matter and did not let their other sons, who were busy with work, know for the time being.
Of course, Jack and Anna also reminded Dwayne and the others not to let the other brothers know about this. They did not want them to worry about. them.
When they were chatting in the WeChat group, they always talked about the good news but not the bad news.
The eldest son, Henry Fowler, was the current president of the Fowler Corporation. He was the actual person in charge of the company After Jack put himself as the Emeritus Chairman of the company, he then retired. and passed the company to his eldest son, whom he was most proud of. Henry was also the eldest brother who was recognized by the other siblings’
His intelligence was indeed another level. That was why he could master the game in the business world. He could easily stir things up in the business world. He had perfectly inherited the excellent genes of Jack and Anna. He had even surpassed both of them!
Henry’s personality was too distant and aloof, and could sometimes bet considered weird. In fact, the so-called geniuses more or less had some problems that the world could not understand. All seven sons of the Fowler family had this trait.
However, no matter how different the Fowlers’ personalities were, there was only one principle that they were determined to hold onto.
The family came first. The family bond would always be their priority.
They were willing to give up everything and work together just to help their families to overcome the hardships!
They were more proud than anyone else to be one of the Fowlers! It was the utmost honor to them.
They could not tolerate when saw their families suffer more than anyone else. They were determined to send their enemies to ****!
They figured there might be a turnaround if they told Henry, who was on a business trip in Wetanean, what happened to the family.
“I can’t!”
Jack stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray and gritted his teeth. “This is something that I caused. How can I ask my eldest son to clean up my
mess? Moreover, Henry is currently negotiating a project involving billions in Wetanean. I can’t distract him!”
Everyone remained silent again.
Indeed, Jack felt embarrassed to even ask Henry to help clean up the mess because of Jane.
Furthermore, he did not want the family members to worry. Even if the Fowlers’ goal was to overcome hardship together, they still preferred to resolve issues in private when problems came.
This was also another way they showed their care for the family.
At this ***, Jack’s phone rang.
Seeing who was the caller, Jack frowned and answered the call.
“Yes… I understand. Alright, send me the message,” he replied.
After hanging up, Anna asked, “Jack, is there any news?”
“They found Andy’s hotel and contact information. Andy hasn’t left the hotel. yet. I’ll go over and see if there is any chance to stop him,” Jack said.
At that, Anna said, “Jack, but…”
Anna recalled what happened at the airport.
Not to mention that Andy was a famous first-class lawyer in Crucsia Country. She wondered how much would it cost to tempt him to give up this lawsuit.
More importantly, Andy seemed to have a very good relationship with Jane!
It was unlikely that he would give up on helping Jane to fight this lawsuit just because of the Fowler family’s bribery!
“No matter what, I have to give it a try. After all, I was the one who caused this chaos,” he said.
He added, “This time, I’ll go alone. You don’t have to follow me.”
Anna replied with a worried look on her face, “But… Jack, I’m worried about you!”
Anna bit her lip as she was worried.
