    Chapter 749: Lucy Is Getting Married


    Helen''s POV:


    tt always made sure he wasfortable.


    Although he was in the hospital right now, he regarded the ce as his home.


    Whenever I came to see him, I would see him lying on the bed with his phone in his hand.He would


    also have someone feed him, so he would not have to get up.


    The director of the decorationpany came to the hospital to visit tt that afternoon.


    At the sight of the director, tt, who was lying on the bed, asked his caregiver to fetch him some


    water.He then pointed at his injured leg and miserably said, "My leg is broken, but I still went to court


    yesterday for you.It was painful and exhausting.You''d better settle the problem, or I''ll make you pay an


    additional fee for emotional trauma."


    The director got annoyed at tt''s arrogance.He thought that tt was only taking advantage of the


    situation to get more than he should.


    "I won''t heed your demands.Ourpany has paid most of the fees from early stages.We''ve lost a lot."


    "What does it have to do with me? This would not have happened had you renovated the club


    ording to my request."


    The director did not know what to say, and it took him a while to collect his thoughts.


    Atst, he cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "We canpensate the original price of 1.2


    million dors at most."


    "Since you don''t seem sincere at all, there''s nothing to talk about.Now, leave, and don''t bother me


    anymore."


    As tt spoke, he waved at his caregiver and asked for a massage.I had never seen anyone know


    how to enjoy life like him.I shook my head helplessly and said to the director, "Sorry, but the amount


    we''re offering is just our conservative estimate.иσν???вσσк.￠σмThe club has been dyed for a month


    because of your mistake.The monthly rent alone is 300 thousand dors, and my client is losing profit


    on top of it."


    The director sighed and tried to negotiate with us again.


    At first, he kept the price low, to which I immediately disagreed.


    Feeling that I would not easily get swayed, he gritted his teeth and finally offered 1.5 million dors.


    "Now that you''ve shown your sincerity, I won''t make things difficult for you anymore.Let''s just settle with


    1.5 million."


    tt turned to me and said, "Helen, sign the contract with him."


    I took out the agreement I had prepared in advance and handed it to the director.


    Thetter signed his name and left in dejection.


    tt took the agreement and scanned through it with an amused expression.


    "Helen, you really are something.I thought getting 1.2 million dors was good enough.I never


    expected to actually receive an additional 300 thousand dors."


    The case went smoother than I had imagined.


    Well, it was the other party''s fault in the first ce.


    If they refused to settle the deal in private, their frozen ount would remain frozen and they would


    have to wait for the next trial.


    This meant that they would lose more money.


    My n was to be a long-term legal counsel of tt''s sports club, so I had to leave him a good


    impression of me.


    At this moment, I put the case materials into my bag.I''de back and see him again tomorrow.


    Just as I was about to leave, tt spoke.

    "Helen, if you''re not too busy, please stay here for a while longer.I want to introduce a friend to you.He''s


    also awyer.He''ll be here soon."


    "Okay."


    I sat back on the sofa and waited for that "ck-heartedwyer" tt had mentioned before.


    A few minutester, a man dressed like an elite entered the ward.


    "No wonder you''re frustrated and noisy.You broke your leg."


    As he spoke, he stared at tt''s broken leg with regret.


    Enraged, tt picked up an orange and threw it at the visitor.


    "Get out! I wouldn''t care even if you didn''t bring me anything, just shut the fuck up.Can''t you see that


    I''m in pain?"


    The man moved a little to avoid the orange being thrown at his face.I happened to be sitting on the sofa


    behind him, so the orange flew in my direction.


    Before I could react, the orange hit my sses, almost breaking it.I took off my sses and stared at


    tt with an icy cold gaze.


    "Oh, shit.I''m sorry, Helen.Are you okay? If you''re mad, scold him.It''s all because he dodged!"


    tt sincerely apologized to me and put all the me on his friend.


    I rubbed my forehead and did not answer.I looked at the visitor and, for some reason, thought he


    looked familiar.I felt that I had seen him before, but I could not remember when and where.


    Did we meet each other when we were handling cases before?


    "This is Helen Dewar, the one help me with the decoration dispute.She charges more than you, but it''s


    okay because she''s better.I don''t mind paying her more," tt said to the man with a hint of guilt in his


    voice.


    Then, he turned to look at me and continued, "Helen, this is Westley Duffy, the ck- heartedwyer


    I''ve told you about before."


    Upon us hearing each other''s name, everything fell into ce.


    "It''s you!" we said at the same time.


    Westley and I had gone to the same university and were in the same ss, but we had not seen each


    other for many years.


    No wonder I felt like I had seen him before.


    "How did you two know each other?" tt asked with confusion written all over his face.


    "We used to be ssmates.Helen here used to be the campus belle.We lost contact after graduation,


    though.I didn''t expect to see her here again."


    tt eyed me from head to toe and incredulously asked, "The campus belle? Her? Is she that pretty?"


    Ignoring his gaze, I took out my phone and added Westley to my contacts.


    My social life when I was in college was unremarkable.


    After ss, I would go to work to earn money, so I did not have time to make friends.


    Because of this, I barely knew my ssmates.


    And when I finally graduated, I did not reach out to them again either.


    Westley kept bbering as if we were close.


    "Helen, didn''t you focus on merge and acquisition cases before?"


    Themunity ofwyers was small.


    Westley must have heard about me before as many of my university ssmates were in the same field.


    I did not want to talk about the past, so I dismissed the topic.


    "I''m doing other things now."


    Unlike me, Westley was conversational.


    Of course, my social skills improved over the years.I no longer hid away during social events.


    And even though socializing was not my strongest suit, I could get by.I could answer almost every topic


    he threw at me.


    tt, who was leaning against the bed and watching us closely, stared at us with an annoyed


    expression.


    From the way I saw it, he had expected me to pick a fight with Westley.


    However, he did not anticipate that the two of us had known each other.


    Dissatisfied, tt grunted from time to time to get our attention.


    Westley and I had a tacit understanding.


    We paid no attention to tt and continued to catch up with each other.


    Apparently, most of my ssmates drifted apart after graduation.


    Westley used to be on the debate team when we were in college.


    After years of experience, he had be very proficient in speaking and used the skill to do well in the


    industry.


    A few momentster, we started to talk about our other friends.


    "If I remember it right, your best friend in college was Lucy, right? You were inseparable at the time.Do


    you know that she''s getting married next month?"


    Westley asked with an intriguing smile.
