Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2849

Walter’s eyes sank when he heard that. He took out a hundred dollars and placed it on the table. "Ms. Clayton, I've understood the situation for now. If there's anything else I need to know, I'll contact you. I’ll settle the bill."

After that, he rose to his feet and walked out of the milk tea shop with a dark and gloomy expression on his face.

"Wait, your change." The owner of the milk tea shop immediately called out to him when he saw the hundred dollars on the table.

Walter did not reply and left without looking back.

The owner turned to look at Lisa. Their small milk tea shop did not usually face this kind of situation. He suggested, "How about you keep it?”

Lisa shook her head. She was going through tough times, but she did not want to take advantage of anyone. "Keep the tip given by Mr. Long," replied Lisa.

The milk tea shop owner looked at the hundred dollars. It was not like he was short of money, but a tip...

His shop was not a high-end restaurant. Therefore, he said, "I noticed that the look on Mr. Long’s face didn't look too good."

Lisa wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face when her emotions were running high just now.

She had shed so many tears over the years.

Finally, this day had come.

When the police recommended Walter to her, she looked into his background on the internet.

She knew about the cases Walter had handled before, and she believed that Walter could help seek justice for her daughter and husband.

"It must be because of that lawyer who's representing the foreigner," guessed Lisa. After leaving the milk tea shop, she walked straight toward her home.

She had even taken leave from the factory to meet Walter. Fortunately, her superiors were understanding and sympathetic to her situation. Hence, they did not say much about her request for leave.

On the other hand…

After Shandra got into the car, the driver headed toward the business hotel.

Ethan, who was in another car, was asking the interpreter about what happened. His thoughts were a bit jumbled, and when he listened to the interpreter recounting the incident, an ominous cloud hovered over him.

"Can Shandra handle this matter properly?" Ethan frowned. He thought that the business trip was meaningless this time.

How could they get things done when the victim’s family was in such an emotional state?

It seemed like they could only meet in court.

The interpreter did not say much, considering how embarrassing the situation had become.

"Look into Walter's detailed information and background," instructed Ethan. He had heard of Walter Long. Those in the same profession as him praised him as being a formidable lawyer.

That was why they initially wanted him to handle Matysh’s case.

However, Ethan had not thoroughly investigated just how capable Walter really was.

"Okay, Mr. Ethan," replied the interpreter. He had also heard of Walter, but he was not a professional lawyer. That was why he did not know much about him.

He took his phone out, intending to gather information about Walter on the internet.

In the other car, Yvette looked at Shandra's dark and gloomy face. She took a deep breath. She did not expect the situation to escalate like this.

After all, when Lisa agreed to meet them, she assumed that the other party would be reasonable and understand their role as lawyers.

However, they were met with a torrent of insults.

Sometimes, defending someone did not mean their values were aligned with that person's. This point was often misunderstood.

Yvette felt that she had made a mistake today and apologized to Shandra in a soft tone, "Ms. Cullen, I'm sorry. I should’ve been more detailed when I talked to Ms. Clayton on the phone."

She believed that if she had been more detailed, perhaps Lisa would not have agreed to meet them.
