Our Billion-Worth Twins by Velvet Antler novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 “B-Benjamin?” Jamie was equally shocked. “I was wondering why you’d turn down my invitation. It seems you’ve been approached already.” “No,” said Benjamin as he pulled the office chair elegantly and seated himself. “You look so ugly, I’m afraid you’ll ruin my mood if I were to take you as my client.” “You…” Jamie slammed the table harshly, his hands clenched into fists as he glared at Cedrick. “Don’t get too complacent. Benjamin may be undefeated, but the lawyer I hired is also one of the best in Sapphire City!” Cedrick tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. Benjamin casually made an ‘OK’ hand gesture with him and announced to Jamie, “Mister Mason, I am Benjamin Anderson, the attorney-in-charge of Miss Catelyn Clark’s representative lawyer, and I’m suing you on behalf of the client for the crime of abandonment and intentional injury. Therefore, we hereby ask you to compensate my client for everything, including child support and mental damage.”

Jamie had an indescribable expression on his face. “Am I hearing this right? I have to pay for all these? I want to gain custody over my son!”

Cedrick’s face turned cold at this. “Are you worthy?” he sneered.

Benjamin reiterated solemnly, “You’ve heard it right, Mister Mason, and I’ve already calculated the amount for you. It is a total of a million and five hundred thousand dollars.”

1.5 million dollars? Jamie could not believe his ears! “I don’t think you all understand. I have evidence that Catelyn isn’t capable of taking care of the child. It’s reasonable for me to request the judge for a change of guardian,” asserted Jamie as he glared at Benjamin contemptuously. He motioned to his lawyer, Samuel Darby, “Show them the evidence!” However, Samuel was visibly stiff, staring blankly at Benjamin and the lawyers behind him. Although Benjamin had a good reputation in Sapphire City, he was only limited to civil lawsuits.

In fact, he was even more famous abroad. Together with the other four high-profile lawyers around Asea, they were known as the Big Five Lawyers on the continent. Just one of them could easily overpower thousands of ordinary lawyers. This was just a usual case of child custody, yet all five of them were here!

“What are you waiting for, Mister Darby?” hissed Jamie, gritting his teeth.

Samuel was shocked by his remarks and immediately returned to his senses. He quickly said to Jamie apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mister Mason, but I…think I may not be able to do this for you. These people are the Big Five Lawyers, and you might as well get someone else!”
