Audrey was busy dealing with the lawsuit and the affairs as a legal consultant in the Cordova Group. Time passed quickly.<\/p>\n<p>This afternoon, Audrey went to the Cordova Group as usual. After handling some matters, she left.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson had gone to another city to sign a contract and won&#8217;t come back to Peace City until night. Audrey had not seen him.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as she left the Cordova Tower, her phone rang.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the number on the phone, Audrey immediately picked it up.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hello, Maria, what&#8217;s wrong?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A cry came from the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Audrey, Audrey&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey tensed up her back and had a bad feeling in her heart.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maria, don&#8217;t cry. Just say it slowly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maria cried for a while and said in a hoarse voice, &#8220;Audrey, we lost. We lost the lawsuit. Not only did they not compensate us for our medical expenses, but they accused us of deliberately blackmailing. They asked us for a large number of mental damage fees. We don&#8217;t know how they got the evidence, and the judge sentenced us to lose the lawsuit on the spot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, the lawsuit had lost.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey had been worried about this case all the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maria, where are you now?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m outside the court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t go anywhere. I&#8217;ll be right there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>At night.<\/p>\n<p>In the depths of an alley in Peace City.<\/p>\n<p>A skinny man got out of the taxi and sneakily walked in.<\/p>\n<p>In the alley, someone was waiting there.<\/p>\n<p>He handed the skinny man a black plastic bag.<\/p>\n<p>After weighing the plastic bag in his hand, the skinny man said with dissatisfaction, &#8220;Didn&#8217;t we agree that as long as I sell you all the evidence of the Brown family, you will give me two hundred thousand yuan after you win the lawsuit? The weight is only half of it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What the hell evidence did you give me? If it wasn&#8217;t for my glib tongue, how could I reverse the lawsuit? I even don&#8217;t want to pay you this. Just give it back to me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As he spoke, the man reached out to take the money back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I want it, of course. A hundred thousand yuan is also money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Take the money and leave quickly!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know, I know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The skinny man quickly left the alley.<\/p>\n<p>Under the light at the entrance of the alley, the man in a suit and leather shoes could be seen clearly. It was Deegan.<\/p>\n<p>The skinny man took the money and was ready to take a taxi to leave.<\/p>\n<p>However, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and snatched the bag from his hand.<\/p>\n<p>He had only gotten half of the money, and now half of it was hacked off. He felt extremely sad.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey noticed that Maria and the others arrived and sneered at him, &#8220;Nick, I think you should explain it to Maria and the others!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maria, along with her son and daughter-in-law, appeared.<\/p>\n<p>With a bang, Maria slapped Nick in the face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You bastard! Louis trusts you so much! How dare you schemed against us secretly?&#8221; Maria scolded with her body trembling.<\/p>\n<p>Louis was so furious that he wanted to beat up Nick, but he was hugged tightly by his wife. His left leg was broken and had to walk on a crutch.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Louis, don&#8217;t be angry. The doctor said that your legs should be well-rested.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Louis pointed at Nick and scolded, &#8220;You son of a bitch. As soon as my legs are healed, I will not let you go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Nick shrunk his neck.<\/p>\n<p>Being scolded, Nick suddenly became angry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You paid me so less.&#8221; Nick said angrily, &#8220;You don&#8217;t know much about the market right now. What are you going to do with the several thousand yuan? They gave me a hundred thousand yuan!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve known each other for ten years. Just for a hundred thousand yuan, you sold me out?&#8221; Louis was so angry and his fingers trembled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You can&#8217;t blame me for this. The person you offended is too powerful. Even if I wasn&#8217;t your lawyer, it would have ended up like this.&#8221; Nick tried to argue. &#8220;Blame your bad luck instead.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Afraid that Maria would hit him again, Nick did not dare to take the money back and run away.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey would like to stop Nick but was stopped by Maria.<\/p>\n<p>Maria sighed, &#8220;Forget it. Let him go. Even if he continues to stay, it will only make us angrier.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3553","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3553","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=3553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
