Substitute Her to Love You (Charlotte and Patrick) novel Chapter 393

After hanging up the phone, I went out.

Patrick was very busy recently, so I did not disturb him. I took a taxi and went to the place that I had appointed with Michael.

After arriving at the gate, I paid the taxi fee and went upstairs to wait for him.

Since it was in the morning, the cafe was almost empty. So I chose a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat down calmly.

It was only 9:30 a.m.

I sat there, thinking over and over again about how to speak to Michael later.

If Michael would refuse me or hesitate later, I would have to say something to move him.

I practiced countless versions in my mind.

At 10 a.m. I saw Michael opening the coffee shop's door. He looked around and saw me, then strode over to me.

At that time, I was extremely nervous. Whether this matter can be turned around would depend on this meeting.

Michael sat down, put his briefcase aside, took out a few pieces of paper, put them on the table, and said, "Miss Nolan, this is the information I prepared for the trial. You can take a look. Although the other party has a lawyer this time, you can rest assured that I..."

Before I could speak, Michael started to talk about the case of Gina and Jeremy.

I quickly said, "Lawyer Michael, I'm not asking you about this. I'll entrust it to you."

When Michael heard what I said, he immediately stopped talking and looked at me with a cold expression.

I took a sip of the coffee in my hand and said, "Actually, this time, I want to invite you to clarify..."

"I'm very sorry. Shelton told me not to intervene in this matter. He threatened me that if I interfere, I would have to shut down my law firm and my lawyer's practice certificate might not be kept."

Michael interrupted me and said.

His words made me don't know how to continue for a while.

I looked at Michael, opened my mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Since he already said this, I couldn't say anything else,

right?

I opened my mouth in a daze and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, I said in a low voice, "Lawyer Michael, your words are very valuable to me. Can't you..."

"I'm very sorry." Michael looked at me. His eyes were cold, and his face was full of determination. "I also have a family to take care of. Although I have a good relationship with you before, I can't destroy my favorite career for an irrelevant person like you."

I was really bewildered by Michael's words.

Actually, I thought of many possibilities just now, but the only thing that I didn't expect was that Shelton would "remind" him.

I didn't expect that Shelton would really do things so cruelly!

That's normal. Shelton is not a kind- hearted person. I was naive and negligent.

Things should have always been like this. How could Shelton not have thought of it when it even came to my mind?!

"Gosh!"

I lowered my head and drank the coffee in front of me. After calming down my mood, I raised my head again and looked at Michael with a smile. "I see, then the case is entrusted to you and I'll go back. As for the other things... I won't bother you."

Michael nodded. "I'm sorry. I can't help you with

more things."

He left after saying that.

After paying the bill, I went out subsequently .

I came out from the cafe. There was a group of old ladies chatting at a door. I looked up and found that it was a supermarket. Today, there happened to be a sales promotion in the supermarket, and many people came for shopping.

Initially, I didn't notice. After walking a few steps, I heard an old lady next to me say, "Have you heard the case that the woman sued her parents after almost killed them and killed her sister recently?"

"I've heard of that. That woman has a heart as malicious as snakes!"

"That's right. I have never seen such a vicious woman in my entire life. How could she do such a vicious thing to her parents!"

"Alas, if my child were like this, I would be heartbroken."

"That's right. My child can't be like this. I have a filial son. In my opinion, this woman is with a completely anti-social character!"
