"What's the matter?"
"Hello, Mr. Witt. I had to call you because..." Jessica told him about her difficulties.
Rashad was also surprised. "You said no one was willing to help you?"
"None of them."
"Let me handle this matter."
"Thank you."
Jessica was relieved as Rashad would help her.
Rashad sent his assistant to contact lawyers, but the result was the same. They were unwilling to accept the case whenever they heard it was Jessica's lawsuit.
Even though Rashad pressured them to take the case with the power of the Riley family, none said yes.
Rashad didn't think Sophia was that influential in Sealand, wondering if the King of the Underworld had something to do with it.
On the other hand, Sophia had also learned about this matter, as her assistant updated her.
Sophia looked surprised. "Did you say no one would help Jessica with her lawsuit against our company?"
"Exactly. It's true. I also heard another piece of big news."
Sophia stared at her.
"Mr. Witt pressured the lawyers to take the case with the power of the Riley family."
Sophia was amused.
Her assistant understood why.
"He was exposed. I only guessed they have colluded. Now, he was exposed."
"What shall we do now?"
"Nothing. Since no lawyer is willing to help them, let it be."
Her assistant was enlightened. "What if he found someone from another city?"
Sophia said thoughtfully, "Let's see them in court, then. I believe justice will prevail over evil."
The assistant nodded.
Before she left, she turned around. "By the way, Ms. Lawson, do you know the King of the Underworld?"
"The King of the Underworld?" Sophia was surprised, wondering why she suddenly mentioned him.
"Well, I think only the King of the Underworld can do such a thing, but I can't understand why he has helped you. That's why I ask such a question."
Sophia also started wondering.
Her assistant's words made sense. Two years ago, the King of the Underworld also appeared and helped her.
Sophia couldn't help wondering who he was and why he had helped her.
"Can you make an appointment with him?"
Sophia had heard some stories about the King of the Underworld. Since he had helped her a few times, she wanted to meet him.
"Can you find his contact ways?" she asked.
It was said the King of the Underworld was mysterious, and no one had seen him before, let alone knowing his character.
"Since he has helped you, I believe he's willing to meet you. Or, he has intentions to do so. If we can know his purpose as soon as possible, we'll be at an advantage, right?" the assistant said.
Sophia nodded in agreement. "OK. Try your best. If he's unwilling to see me, don't insist."
"OK, Ms. Lawson."
Sophia returned to her work without overthinking it.
However, when it was afternoon, her assistant strode into her office and told her the King of the Underworld had agreed to meet her.
Sophia jumped to her feet. "What did you say? The King of the Underworld is willing to meet me?"
Her assistant also felt surprised. She tried many ways to contact the King of the Underworld. She had thought he would reject her, so she had made millions of excuses to convince him. However, he quickly agreed.
"Yes, he is."
Sophia paced around in the office. "Did he say anything else?"
"He gave me an address and asked you to meet him there."
