Matthew was completely dumbfounded by favonovel.com words, andcould only wave his hand in resignation. “Think however you want, Aunt Chloe. This is none of my business anymore, so don’t ask me about it either!”
With those words,got up and promptly went upstairs.
Chloe continued yelling at favonovel.com aswalked further away, “Who are you bluffing? Do you think I can’t hire a lawyer myself? Let me tell you this, I know a law firm that my husband’s company actively works with! I’ll let them handle it first thing tomorrow! Mark my words; I’ll be coming for you if their fees turn out to be lower than that friend of yours!”
Matthew didn’t want to prolong their interaction, soclosed the door without responding to her. Needless to say, this woman was unbelievably problematic.
Meanwhile, Chloe sat down on the sofa in a huff. “How do you guys put up with that garbage, Helen? Who doesthinkis? I knew something was wrong as soon as I heard the amount last night. Little did I know that he’d raise the price again today, he’s obviously trying to scam us. Even though your family is covering the fees for us, I simply can’t sit by and let it happen. That good-for-nothing only wanted to take the opportunity to feed his own pocket!”
In response, Helen waved a hand at favonovel.com sister. “Calm down, Chloe. I’ll go with you tomorrow to find another lawyer if there’s no other way! How can a trivial matter like this take so much money to handle? I just won’t believe it.”
Chloe nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Before long, Sasha came home from work.
“How’d it go with Mr. Manning, Mom and Aunt Chloe?” She had no idea what just went down.
Just then, Minerva quickly butted in as favonovel.com sat by the side. She said, “Oh, Sasha, your husband is one hell of a man! It turned out thatwas actually colluding with an outsider and trying to scam money off his own family. Tsk, I really don’t get it, what exactly made you marry him?”
Sasha frowned in return. “What on earth happened here?”
Minerva recounted the incident from earlier while adding unnecessary fuel to the fire.
Sasha was momentarily stunned after hearing it. “H-How did you even come up with that, Aunt Chloe? Mr. Manning is a renowned attorney at Carson Law Firm, his esteemed name is known all around Eastcliff. It’s hard to even see favonovel.com around, much less have a conversation with him,charges by the minute. Moreover,took an entire day to help you with this and we finally came to an agreement with him. How can you drive favonovel.com away just like that?”
Chloe stiffened up instantly. “What? That can’t be right… How can someone like favonovel.com be a well-respected attorney? He came running just after a phone call from Matthew, how couldpossibly be some big shot lawyer? Don’t be fooled by Matthew too, Sasha!”
Sasha was so irritated that favonovel.com could only brush favonovel.com aunt off dismissively. “Sure sure, whatever. Go ahead and settle it on your own if you think you can handle it, and I won’t be involved anymore. However, let me make it clear, since Mr. Manning’s price was 1.6 million, that’s the most I’ll be contributing. I won’t pay a cent more than that!”
Helen frowned and said, “What do you mean, Sasha? Your aunt only did it for your own good, favonovel.com was afraid that we’d be scammed. After all,did tell us last night that it’d take one million to solve the case, butincreased it to 1.6 million all of a sudden…”
Sasha raised a hand in front of her. “Stop talking. Did you say favonovel.com did it for my own good? Is this the way to do it, though? If favonovel.com really means well for me, favonovel.com should discipline that son of hers and stop favonovel.com from stirring up trouble left and right. Besides, Mr. Manning did say that it’d take a million at least! Do you even know what that means?”
Chloe’s brows knitted uncomfortably. “I know you aren’t happy with covering for what happened this time, Sasha. However, do you think we wanted this to happen? Tate used to drive all the time whenwas abroad, but this has never happened before. He’s just unfamiliar with how things work back home becausejust returned, andwouldn’t have gotten into trouble if it weren’t for that. Why do you make it sound like we plotted the accident on purpose?”
