Chapter 860


    Jacob nced at Matilda in bewilderment. "Matilda, are you very proficient inw and the firm?"


    Paul chuckled and said, "Uncle, don''t underestimate m y mother. In fact, she is also a Ph.D.


    graduate from Yale. She and my father met at the Master''s School at Yale and married afterward.


    Later, my father founded thew firm and my mother was always there to assist him. If not because


    of my mother, my father’s career would not take off and sail so smoothly." s


    Then, he sighed, "Too bad I''m still not capable of handling the firm myself yet, so I need my


    mother''s help to assist me." 1


    Matilda chuckled, "Son, you have done a great job. I hope that you can grow up as soon as possible


    and take over thepany as a whole, then I can finally enjoy my retirement." 7


    She couldn’t help sighing, "Now that I''m back to Oskia and Aurous Hill, my biggest dream is not to


    start our family business here, but to enjoy the retirement life o f an Oskian olddy peacefully." 1


    Then, she secretly gazed at Jacob and thought, ''I''ve been living my life so hard in the States, I’m


    actually quite exhausted now. More sorrowfully, I had never really felt the taste of true love over the


    past 2 decades. So now that I''m back in Oskia, I want to let g o of everything I did before and be a


    retired olddy. It


    would be better if I can reconnect with you, my old lover, to make up for my regrets over the years.’

    the lucrative paycheck and lifestyle that ensued. Manywsuits in the States offered a tremendously


    highpensation amount that would reach tens or hundreds of millions of dors, s


    ording to the press, a few years ago, someone sued Marlboro, a famous American tobo


    brand, for inducing smoking and causing death. The American court awarded hundreds of millions


    of dors inpensation for the man.


    Not long ago, there was an Asian man who was beaten by the security guards who worked under


    one of the American airlinepanies. This incident tarnished the airline''s reputation and in the


    end, thewyer team won tens of millions of dors inpensation for the Asian man. 5


    Forwyers, every winning case meant that they would receive at least 30%-50°/o of the


    compensation amount as the bonus, and sometimes even higher. 5


    This was why thewyers in the States were very professional. In fact, they would do anything at all


    to win their cases because the mary interest behind the cases was so lucrative that they could


    never look away. If they won a bigwsuit, they would receive a paycheck of millions of dors.


    They could easily make big moneypared to ordinary people. 5


    Therefore, in the United States,wyers owned a very high social status and could be regarded as


    upper-ss people, especially the renowned bigwyers. They could be billionaires through
