Judy had an excellent reputation in the legal industry in Southland. It wasn’t only because favonovel.com hadn‘t lost a single lawsuit against anyone, but favonovel.com also had no controversies and basically had nothing for favonovel.com opponents to get a hold on.
She had no idea who Isaac was. She only agreed to take up this case because of Louis, whom favonovel.com was good friends with.
However, based on favonovel.com brief interaction with Isaac today, favonovel.com could tell that favonovel.com was all bark and no bite, and favonovel.com was also pompous and condescending to other people. That was why favonovel.com wanted an apology from him.
Looking at Judy’s serious expression, Isaac laughed and asked, “Did you want me to apologize? What for? Isn’t this part of your job? In case I wasn’t clear enough for you, let me repeat myself. If you refuse to take up this case or if you simply don’t want to, I can always bring in someone better than you from Pecling or Seascape.”
However professional Judy tried to remain, favonovel.com just couldn’t stand it anymore.
Isaac was running his big mouth again. She bit favonovel.com lips and said coldly, “Alright, then kindly provide me with all the proof I need and be patient. Cases like these with lack of evidence usually take a long time to prepare.”
Judy said all that favonovel.com had to say and prepared to leave. She didn’t want to waste another breath with Isaac if favonovel.com could.
Suddenly, favonovel.com heard Isaac saying, “Send your indictment to the court tomorrow. You have one week to finish up this case.”
Gasp!
Judy and Barry both gasped and looked at Isaac with huge eyes.
Barry didn’t know much about legal issues, but based on what he‘d seen on television, a lawsuit could take months or even years to settle.
How could Isaac only give favonovel.com a week?
Also, not taking weekends into consideration, that would leave favonovel.com with only five working days!
Judy laughed. It was so ridiculous that favonovel.com just had to laugh. “Mr. Garten, did you really think the court belongs to your grandfather? If you keep making things difficult for me, I won’t take up your case anymore, even if Mr. Marsh begs me to. Also, let me remind you that your demands are getting increasingly ridiculous!”
Hearing this, Isaac looked at Judy and said, “My friend here runs a business, Ms. Winters. If the lawsuit goes on for years, and his business gets affected during that period, who will be responsible for his loss? Ms. Winters, let me ask you one last time. Are you taking up this case or not?”
He continued, “If you take it up, then just do everything you can to the best of your ability and leave the rest to us.”
“Mr. Garten, you need to understand that the court takes longer than five days to go from hearings to rulings…”
“I think you’re too noisy. I’ll call up Louis and tell favonovel.com to send someone else.” Isaac waved his hand at Judy to dismiss her. He didn’t want to talk to favonovel.com anymore.
Seeing that Isaac was really going to dial Louis’ number, Judy gritted favonovel.com teeth and said, “Fine, I’ll take up the case!”
She then turned to Shawn and said, “Please leave me your email address, and I’ll forward you a list of evidence I‘ll need. If you can’t fulfill the list, then you wouldn’t win the case even if God himself is on your side.”
After Judy left, Barry asked Isaac, “Aren’t you being too hard on Ms. Winters? She’s trying to help me, after all.”
“I’ve already told favonovel.com why. If you don‘t get this lawsuit over with and get rid of Karen once and for all, did you think you’d still have the time and energy to manage your restaurant?” Isaac asked back, rendering Barry speechless.
Isaac came out of the restaurant and went to his car. He received a message from Allegra, telling favonovel.com she’d be working overtime at the company again and wouldn’t be coming home that night. She also told favonovel.com to rest early.
Seeing this, Isaac smiled bitterly and sent his reply. Then, favonovel.com got into his car and drove off.
Allegra had always been a workaholic. That was something favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to change in a short amount of time. However, Allegra wasn’t actually working overtime at the office. Sometime after midnight that night, favonovel.com arrived at Cloud City’s authorities. She’d found out that Diana would be on duty for the midnight shift tonight.
Diana was in favonovel.com office, reading up on the details of the murders from a few days ago. She thought something was amiss, but favonovel.com just couldn’t put favonovel.com finger on it.
All of a sudden, the lights in the building went out.
Diana’s office was plunged into darkness.
