Kent had never heard of Silvester Chanon. He angrily cursed at the madman called Silvester on the phone and asked the lawyer he knew on the phone, “I’m willing to be pay more.” “Sorry, still no deal,” the lawyer said. Kent could not suppress his anger. “Damn it, are you lawyers stupid? You’re willing to give up a lucrative job for the sake of that bit of reputation. Just think about it, what if you lose the lawsuit? You still got your money, no? You just have to try your best to fight, right?”
The lawyer told Kent, “Mr. Barton, let me be honest with you. It’s not just about money. We cross the wrong people, and we as defendant lawyers would get it as well. Therefore, no one is willing to provoke Silvester Chanon the Madman. “Mr. Barton, listen to my advice. You won’t be able to get a lawyer. Work hard to collect evidence on your own and defend yourselves.” “If even you lawyers can’t do it, how can we defend ourselves?”
“I guess you can only do your best. Mrs. Barton, I still have something on. Excuse me.” The lawyer hurriedly hung up the phone. Kent’s expression was extremely cold. After thinking about it, he called Annalise. Although he and Annalise had fallen out because of the shares, blood was still thicker than water. Now, he had returned the shares of the Moonlight Group to Annalise.
He figured that her Uncle Kent was there to ask her for a little help. If she had any conscience, she should help. He couldn’t get through to the other end of the line. “Goddamn it.” Kent knew that he was still on Annalise’s blacklist and was very unhappy. He immediately changed to another spare phone and called Annalise. As expected, the call connected. Annalise’s polite voice was heard. “Hello, who is this?”
Kent really wanted to retort. She was so polite to strangers and yet disrespected her own family. Thinking that he had something to ask of him now, Kent sighed and lowered his posture. “Anna, it’s Uncle Kent. Well, Abbie must have been crazy to do such a thing. Lucky for her that Julian’s grandfather is fine. Anna, you’re on good terms with Julian. Can you please… Hey, hello…” Annalise had already hung up. Kent was speechless. He felt a ball of fire burning in his lungs. It was so hot that his lungs were about to explode. “This ingrate!” He thought.
He could only call Alexander. Initially, he thought that Alexander would not pick up his call. Unexpectedly, the call was picked up immediately. Kent immediately begged Alexander to plead for mercy on account that he and Abigail were husband and wife. Alexander’s cold voice was heard. “Mr. Barton, Abigail and I have already agreed to divorce. I am now the plaintiff!” “Alexander…” Alexander interrupted, “The case will go to court in three months. All participants will have to pay the price!” With that, he hung up.
