A law firm on the verge of bankruptcy.
In a small and cramped office.
Rose looked at the lawyer, Stefan Turner, who was wearing a cheap suit, with a trace of disgust in her eyes.
She kept a smile on her face, but when Stefan went to make tea, she glanced at Mason and whispered, “This is the lawyer you’ve mentioned that day? Will it work?”
"Regular lawyers will definitely not handle this kind of thing, and they will be very popular. If our plan is discovered by the stupid girl Rita, wouldn’t our efforts be put to waste?”
Reminded by Mason, Rose reluctantly accepted Stefan.
“Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, please have tea.” Stefan smiled and handed two cups of green tea to them, and then sat down on the opposite side. “May I know what legal problem you have encountered?”
“We just need you to bring a word to my daughter as an attorney.” Rose said as she took out a bank card from her branded bag and waved it in front of Stefan, “After the completion, the lawyer’s fee would be $200,000.”
Stefan was stunned when he heard the $200,000, and there was light in his eyes when he looked at the card.
Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand!
This was comparable to what he had earned in the year before.
Stefan smiled more flatteringly at Rose and Mason when he thought of that, “May I know what message you would want me to pass?”
“It’s very simple. Tell her if she has an upset stomach, remember to speak up earlier, and her parents would apply for parole for her medical treatment.”
If ordinary people heard Rose’s remarks, they would not feel that there was anything wrong, but Stefan, who was a lawyer, have heard the clue.
How is this exhortation? This was clearly a hint.
It implied that if Charlotte applied for medical parole due to a medical condition, and then took this opportunity to take advantage of the legal loopholes.
Stefan looked through the schemes of Mason and his wife but did not reveal it.
The industry had been down recently, and he was almost unable to survive anymore.
He originally planned to close the office and return to his hometown next month, but he didn’t expect such a big order.
Anyway, it’s not illegal to just carry a few words, might as well earn some money at the same time.
Stefan became calmer when he thought of it, “Is that all?”
“Yes, that’s all.” Rose nodded, “I wonder if Mr. Turner would like to pick this up?”
“Yes, of course!”
Stefan nodded as he looked at the bank card on the table.
Rose was relieved when he saw the money minded.
Now both Charlotte and her reputation are saved.
She happily pushed the bank card in front of Stefan, “Here is a deposit of $100,000. We will pay the balance when you pass the message.”
“Good... good.”
After they negotiated and signed an employment contract, Stefan followed Rose and Mason to the detention center.
At the same time, outside the detention center.
Rita stood there, staring at the traffic in front of her as if she was waiting for someone.
Five minutes.
Ten minutes.
Half an hour.
Squeak!
Accompanied by the harsh brakes, a black luxury car stopped in front of her.
She looked at the familiar license plate number, Rita’s eyes flickered slightly and became colder.
Sure enough, they came.
She glanced at a few people faintly, lifted her leg, and walked over.
Seeing her walking, Rose and Mason were both frozen.
What happened?
Why is the damn lame here?
After a moment of doubt, Rita had already arrived.
Rose returned to her senses and forced a smile, “It’s such a coincidence, Rita, you too...”
“Unfortunately, I’m waiting for my second uncle and aunt.”
Rita’s tone was cold, as she interrupted someone’s questioning.
Waiting for them?
Rose was taken aback and murmured, “Wait...Wait for us?”
