As Ethan spoke those words, a sense of unease welled up within him, yet he also felt a certain relief. At the same time, he was glad that Matysh was not well-versed in this area.
Addison had also gained knowledge of the past events. He was secretly delighted when he found out that he was able to take on the case after Shandra's dismissal. This indicated that his reputation was moving closer to lawyers like Shandra.
Even though Matysh communicated with Ethan in Russian and Addison could not understand a word, he switched to fluent English to talk to Matysh after Ethan said that. "Mr. Matysh, rest assured. I'll do my utmost to fulfill your request. Please trust me. I've dealt with many similar cases, and I have ample experience in this."
Matysh's blue eyes swept over him and then moved to Ethan.
"This lawyer doesn't seem too capable," said Matysh in Russian.
Ethan grew anxious when he heard that. The police had gathered substantial evidence, and changing lawyers would be unfavorable for Matysh.
"Mr. Matysh, the lawyer I've found for you is a professional..."
Before Ethan could finish his sentence, Matysh coldly interrupted, "Ethan, don't try to fool me. Here's the deal. I want the opposing lawyer. Get him to take my case."
Ethan was startled for a moment.
It was a good idea.
Before Shandra terminated her contract with Matysh, she had been investigating the case in the neighboring city. There seemed to be some leads at first, but Matysh lost patience and terminated the agreement.
Now, the party that understood the case the most was the opposing client's attorney.
Walter must have already grasped the key points of the entire case. If he were to defend Matysh, there might be a slim chance, but...
Ethan replied in an uncertain tone, "Mr. Matysh, the opposing lawyer is Walter Long."
"And?" Matysh did not care about lawyers, especially those in A City.
He viewed lawyers as professionals who worked for wealthy individuals. Anyone with money could hire them. There was no need for him to know or understand them.
"Walter is not only Shandra's ex-boyfriend, but he also has a close relationship with Luke Crawford," Ethan reluctantly explained, bracing for Matysh's reaction.
"Damn it!" cursed Matysh. He did not expect Luke to be friends with a lawyer. He glared at Ethan and asked, "Can't you spend some money?"
Marcos sat there, listening to their conversation. He was rendered speechless. Had Matysh been sitting around here, letting his brain turn to mush?
"He's Luke's friend. You wouldn't dare to trust him even if you threw a bunch of money at him to get him to defend you, would you?" Marcos chimed in.
Ethan, who sat beside him, could not help but nod. Even though he refused to admit it, it was indeed a valid point.
Even if they managed to bribe Walter, could they truly trust him with the case?
Unless a miracle occurred, Matysh was pretty much destined to end up with a prison sentence in A City. It did not really matter that much whether Walter gave it his best shot or not.
If they hired Walter and he deliberately did not give his best, it was Matysh who would be in trouble. Perhaps his prison sentence might even end up getting extended by a few years.
Matysh shot a piercing look at Marcos. He needed someone to clear his name desperately. That was why he did not realize such an important point.
