Chapter 216


    Chapter 216 “B-Benjamin?” Jamie was equally shocked. “I was wondering why you’d turn down my


    invitation. It seems you’ve been approached already.” “No,” said Benjamin as he pulled the office chair


    elegantly and seated himself. “You look so ugly, I’m afraid you’ll ruin my mood if I were to take you as my


    client.” “You…” Jamie mmed the table harshly, his hands clenched into fists as he red at Cedrick.


    “Don’t get toocent. Benjamin may be undefeated, but thewyer I hired is also one of the best in


    Sapphire City!” Cedrick tapped his fingers on the table rhythmically. Benjamin casually made an ‘OK’


    hand gesture with him and announced to Jamie, “Mister Mason, I am Benjamin Anderson, the attorney-


    in-charge of Miss Catelyn rk’s representativewyer, and I’m suing you on behalf of the client for the


    crime of abandonment and intentional injury. Therefore, we hereby ask you topensate my client for


    everything, including child support and mental damage.”


    Jamie had an indescribable expression on his face. “Am I hearing this right? I have to pay for all these? I


    want to gain custody over my son!”


    Cedrick’s face turned cold at this. “Are you worthy?” he sneered.


    Benjamin reiterated solemnly, “You’ve heard it right, Mister Mason, and I’ve already calcted the


    amount for you. It is a total of a million and five hundred thousand dors.”


    1.5 million dors? Jamie could not believe his ears! “I don’t think you all understand. I have evidence


    that Catelyn isn’t capable of taking care of the child. It’s reasonable for me to request the judge for a


    change of guardian,” asserted Jamie as he red at Benjamin contemptuously. He motioned to his


    lawyer, Samuel Darby, “Show them the evidence!” However, Samuel was visibly stiff, staring nkly at


    Benjamin and thewyers behind him. Although Benjamin had a good reputation in Sapphire City, he


    was only limited to civilwsuits.


    In fact, he was even more famous abroad. Together with the other four high-profilewyers around Asea,


    they were known as the Big Five Lawyers on the continent. Just one of them could easily overpower


    thousands of ordinarywyers. This was just a usual case of child custody, yet all five of them were here!


    “What are you waiting for, Mister Darby?” hissed Jamie, gritting his teeth.


    Samuel was shocked by his remarks and immediately returned to his senses. He quickly said to Jamie


    apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mister Mason, but I…think I may not be able to do this for you. These people


    are the Big Five Lawyers, and you might as well get someone else!”


    He continued, “I’ll lend you the conference room. I’ll excuse myself.”

    Samuel and his assistant then packed up the documents and left the conference room as if they were


    running away.


    Jamie stared at them dumbfoundedly. Did Benjamin’s reputation intimidate them that badly?


    Cedrick’s thin lips pursed into a faint grin. However, there was a bit of ruthlessness behind his smile.

    Jamie’s heart sank, and he had a very ominous premonition.

    “I’m taking Miles,” came Cedrick’s hauntingly cold remark “You dare fight with me?” Jamie was frightened


    as he heard Cedrick’s words, while his chest heaved unevenly. “This is bullying!” “I can give you enough


    time to find anotherwyer,” said Cedrick.
