They could obtain a patent for the research and development of their product without spending a dime. Meanwhile, they could win the lawsuit and even avoid a large amount of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>Blair narrowed her eyes and looked at Audrey, &#8220;Audrey, how can I believe that you really intend to help the Stanton Group? Furthermore &#8230; how can you convince me that you can help us win the lawsuit?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This was exactly the question Josh wanted to ask.<\/p>\n<p>Both of them shot a doubtful gaze at Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey said calmly, &#8220;Of course I have my own way. If I can&#8217;t win the first trial, I will quit my job forever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To a lawyer, this was almost a sacred vow.<\/p>\n<p>Josh and Blair looked at each other.<\/p>\n<p>Blair received her father&#8217;s gaze and looked at Audrey poker-faced, &#8220;Audrey, I need to discuss with my father. After that, we will decide whether to hire you or not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey raised her eyebrows and smiled, &#8220;No problem.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey put her business card on the desk.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is my business card. There is my phone number on it.  Call me any time when you reach an agreement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Audrey left, Josh&#8217;s face darkened, and said, &#8220;This lawyer is too young. How can such a young lawyer help the Stanton Group win the case?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blair muttered for a moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dad, actually, this Ms. Audrey is really a bit extraordinary. She won all the cases she took over. Last time, she was Mr. Zachery&#8217;s lawyer representative against the Four Seasons Group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Josh had heard about the case between the Four Seasons Group and Zachery.<\/p>\n<p>He was slightly surprised.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you saying that she was the attorney for Zachery&#8217;s Company?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blair nodded, &#8220;Although I had problems with Mr. Zachery, I have to admit that Audrey does have some tricks. If she becomes the lawyer of the Stanton Group, she might really win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Josh still hesitated.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll try contacting the other famous lawyers first and make a decision afterward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It was already noon when Audrey left the Stanton Group.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey went to a restaurant nearby for lunch. It was still early after lunch, so she went to a shopping mall to buy some daily necessities.<\/p>\n<p>Now that Lance was still in Peace City, she was not able to return to her apartment for a while. She left in a hurry when she went to the Cordova Mansion. She did not take many things with her, but she was too embarrassed to ask the Cordovas to buy anything for her.<\/p>\n<p>However, just as she arrived at the entrance of the mall, she saw a lot of people gathered around as well as some journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Was someone coming to the mall?<\/p>\n<p>She heard some people discussing as she passed by the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why is the mall so busy today? Is someone coming?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t you know? It is the president of the Munn Group coming for the opening ceremony of its brand.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked up and saw that there was indeed a red banner in front of the mall. It was the sign that the Munn cosmetics entered the mall. The opening date was exactly today.<\/p>\n<p>When Toby heard that she was a customer of his company&#8217;s products, he turned around with a smile. However, his eyes could only catch a blurry figure.<\/p>\n<p>To be polite, Toby still looked at her face even though he could not see her clearly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is that so? Then I&#8217;m very happy to answer your question.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When Toby&#8217;s gaze fell on her face, Audrey&#8217;s emotions went wild.<\/p>\n<p>It had been six years. She hadn&#8217;t seen Toby for six years.<\/p>\n<p>Six years ago, she wanted to get along well with Toby because he was her biological father, even though Toby always disliked her.<\/p>\n<p>But what she had in return was Toby&#8217;s humiliation again and again.<\/p>\n<p>Her wonderful father went so far as to send her abroad to live all on her own after she was framed by Wendy.<\/p>\n<p>Toby never asked about her afterward.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey&#8217;s heart ached more than ever when she thought about the years she had spent abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey smiled and asked, &#8220;President Toby, your company&#8217;s Pearl in the Palm series is specially designed for young girls. It&#8217;s tailor-made for your daughter, right?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toby smiled and replied, &#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey sneered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then I have another question, President Toby. I hear that you and your ex-wife also have a daughter. She is your eldest daughter. Does the Pearl in the Palm Series refer to that daughter?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Toby&#8217;s expression changed and his voice sharpened when Audrey was mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I only have one beloved daughter and that is Wendy. As for that disobedient daughter, I don&#8217;t know where she has gone to enjoy herself. She&#8217;s not my daughter.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3451","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
