After another 20 minutes or so, Jonah phoned Chloe again. “Chloe, you… you… you idiot!” he swore assoon as Chloe answered the phone.

Chloe panicked. “What are you talking about? H-How could you say that I’m an idiot?”

At once, Jonah flew into a rage. “Do you know who the person surnamed Manning is? Let me tell youthis—he is the most famous attorney in Eastcliff, and he has practiced law for so many years withoutever losing a lawsuit. Even business tycoons and large conglomerates seek his advice when they runinto something, so he’s considered a leader in Eastcliff’s law practice. H-How could you offend him? Nowonder all the attorneys in Eastcliff are unwilling to take up this case!”

Chloe was stupefied. “T-That can’t be true, right? How could this happen? I-Isn’t that guy just an attorneywhom Matthew found at random? How could he have such great capabilities? Have you mistaken himfor a different person who has the same surname?”

Jonah replied furiously, “That’s sheer nonsense! Lucia told me all these. She also has a group photowith Mr. Manning, and I saw that photo with my own eyes!”

Chloe instantly sank into the sofa. She really didn’t expect that the lawyer Matthew had summonedcasually by phone was actually the most famous attorney in Eastcliff! More importantly, Mr. Manningarrived in the middle of the night after receiving Matthew’s call! Back then, she simply assumed that Mr.Manning was an insignificant figure, so she didn’t take him seriously at all. She couldn’t understand whaton earth enabled Matthew to let this attorney come over at night instead of resting!

After a long time, she asked in a quavering voice, “T-Then… what should we do now?”

Jonah replied angrily, “How should I know? Lucia is still asking me what’s going on, and I can’t evenbring myself to tell her about it! If she learns that we have offended this famous attorney, she… she willdefinitely drive me out of the company!”

Chloe trembled with fright upon hearing his words. “I-I really had no idea about this, hubby. I thought hewas colluding with Matthew to try to swindle money from me. I-I really have no idea about such things atall… You have to save Tate. He’s still a kid…” She began to choke up as she spoke.

On the other hand, Jonah was as mad as a wet hen. “All right, that’s enough. Do you think that I don’twant to save Tate? However, what can I do now that things have come to this point because of you?Forget it—I’ll have a friend of mine hire an attorney from another city!”

Chloe’s eyes lit up. “Can you do that? T-That will be great! In that case, please hurry, hubby. Tate is stillin custody.”

Jonah retorted in exasperation, “Of course! Do you think I’m not worried about him? Do you know howmuch it costs to hire an attorney from another city, though? You idiot! You’re not the one spending 1.6million, yet you keep doing such pointless things. Now, nobody knows how much money our family isgoing to spend!”

Chloe didn’t dare to answer him; she also felt guilty since she had screwed up the matter this time. Onceshe hung up the phone, she looked at Helen again. “You must help me this time, Helen. All the attorneysin Eastcliff have ganged up with Mr. Manning, so they’re not going to help us. We can only hire anattorney from somewhere else, but with my family’s current situation, the legal fees…”

Helen immediately responded, “Don’t worry, Chloe. I’ll help you with the money.”

Minerva immediately joined in and said, “As expected, you’re the one who treats us best, Aunt Helen.Mom kept saying that you’re the kindest person in this world back when we were overseas!”

Helen replied with a smug smile and said, “Isn’t it because your mom and I are sisters? Besides, thingsturned out like this because she wanted to save money for my family, so I must definitely help her.”
