Chapter 56
“Can i get your name, sir? Are you aware that the lady next to you is rumored to be a homewrecker? What’s your connection to Evangeline? Got any comments as her alleged beau? And just how old is her current boyfriend, if you don’t mind me asking? The reporter fired off questions, each more pointed than the clearly a fan who had been swayed by Julia’s influence.
“Listen, you need to watch your words. I could sue you for slander on behalf of my client. And for your information, I’m James, this lady’s attorney,” said James courteously, though he was already plotting to teach this reporter a thing or two about ‘experience‘ at a later time.
The crowd buzzed at the mention of James‘ name.
“Holy smokes! James! The top lawyer from Halcyonia, the miracle worker, Mr. James Foster himself!”
“Doesn’t he usually take on those massive international cases worth billions?”
Young as he was, he had knocked out a string of tough cases, making a big name for himself in the legal world. There he was, handling Evangeline’s divorce case!
Messing with him was like asking to be thrown behind bars in a heartbeat.
He was way out of their league!
As the reporter’s back broke out in a cold sweat, James snatched the microphone and addressed the camera with a message for Walter.
“Mr. Walter Gordon, if you’re thinking of refusing the divorce, we’ll have no choice but to take this to court. Expect a letter from my lawyer tonight. Check your mail.”
James‘ reply was sharp and clear. He then shot the reporter a look that said, “You know what to do with this story, right?”
The reporter nodded frantically. That was James, after all. A misstep there could mean the end of his career, or worse, his company’s downfall.
“Um, Mr. James Foster, the Mr. Walter Gordon you’re referring to… Is he that hotshot entrepreneur, the heir to the Gordon Group, Walter?” a gutsy reporter chimed in.
“Yes, we’re talking about the very same person,” confirmed James without a hint of
evasion.
