Omari only took on cases that were worth at least nine figures or ones that he found interesting. Despite his refined and sophisticated appearance, he was actually a thrill-seeking boy who loved to challenge himself.
He wouldn't even bother with a case of this level.
As for Mr. Kent's call to inquire about Miss Berry, it was only out of fear of offending the man behind her, Kelvin Foley.
In the end, Omari refused the case.
Abbie had heard that Omari was a legal genius in Akloit's legal community, and his name even appeared in international legal publications.
That was why she wanted him as her representative.
But a lawyer like Omari was just an employee after all. What made him look down on her?
"No thanks. Goodbye."
Abbie rejected Mr. Kent's proposal to find someone else instead of Omari as her lawyer.
After all, there was more than one law firm. She could hire some other lawyer.
...
This area was known as Akloit's golden district - all you can see ere white buildings with pointed domes reminiscent of Islamic architecture.
The Berry Villa stood out among them all with its entire marble relief walls and a two-meter-three-tall statue in its garden.
It would have been impossible to build this villa without spending billions.
It should have belonged to Abbie. But after Abbie's father died, Cody took away 10% shares of the Foley Group from her father under the pretext that she was not well enough.
She thought she could marry into the Foley family, so she didn't care about the shares very much. But now Kelvin seemed increasingly indifferent towards her while becoming more interested in Cheyenne instead.
This made Abbie feel uneasy especially when Cheyenne shattered Abbie's confidence mercilessly.
The emotional breakdown caused pain in Abbie's chest, making it difficult for her to sleep at night.
After thinking about it for several nights, she decided to take back those 10% ownership shares which rightfully belong to hers; hence, she came back intentionally today.
Just then, Cody had decided to take a few days off from work due to his argument with Kelvin at the company. He refused to go back until Kelvin personally apologized. However, before he could hear from Kelvin, Abbie and a lawyer showed up at his doorstep.
The smile on Cody's face disappeared instantly as he looked confusedly at the two visitors standing in front of him. The atmosphere was tense and oppressive as they silently observed each other without speaking a word.
Abbie was dressed differently than usual, wearing a black professional suit with matching high heels and her hair pulled back neatly. She looked sharp and capable compared to her usual soft demeanor.
"Uncle Cody, won't you let me come in for a while?" she said softly with a gentle laugh.
Cody hesitated for a moment before gesturing for her to sit down while taking his seat across from her on the sofa. He reached into his shirt pocket out of habit and pulled out an unlit cigar which he held between his thumb and forefinger without lighting it.
Glancing over Abbie's shoulder at the lawyer beside her, Cody pretended familiarity by patting him on the shoulder before asking, "Abbie, what brings you here? Why don't you call me ahead so that I can pick you up?"
Abbie smiled elegantly and sat upright, which made Cody feel somewhat uneasy.
