Chapter 127
At that time, I was a little unhappy.
I turned to manywyers. And every one of them believed what I had said, saying that they could
defend me from the point of view that I was innocent.
However, Sharon actually felt that I was guilty, thinking about how to cover the crime up for me.
It made me feel that he was unreliable instead.
I got up and said, "I think there''s something wrong with mymunication with you. I''ll find
someone else to deal with this case."
After that, I got up and intended to leave.
"Oh, don''t!" Hearing this, Sharon immediately stopped me and said with a smile, "In fact, besides
thepensation, if you are willing to give me more money, I''m willing to put up with the trouble for
you."
Seeing the way how Sharon smiled, I suddenly felt more and more strongly that he was unreliable.
I responded honestly, "Lawyer Sharon, to be honest, based on my economic situation, I
am not rich. I indeed don''t have much money for you except for thepensation."
"Don''t you have any money?" Hearing my words, Sharon said to me with a well-informed
expression, "You don''t have to hide it from me. I know everything going on in the upper ss in City
Y. As for your rtionship with your brother- in-w, the way I see it, I don''t need to borate on it.
You know it well in your heart."
"My brother-inw?"
"Yes, the boss of Towering High Group, Patrick Cowell." Sharon leaned his head over and
whispered, "So, although this case is somewhat tricky, you surely can make me deal with this case
by asking him for some money!"
To my surprise, Sharon actually knew about this matter.
It was a pity that he indeed had made a mistake.
I looked at Sharon who seemed to think that he had got a rich client, sneering, "Lawyer Sharon, if I
do have that kind of rtionship with him, I can go directly to hiswyer group. Do I need to trouble
Lisa and then turn to you?"
"Well..."
Seeing that Sharon was stunned, I sneered and said, "Lawyer Sharon, based on your IQ, I''d better
find someone else."
After that, I left directly.
Then I heard Sharon''s angry voice behind me, "You are just a mistress. Don''t pretend that you have
a high IQ!"
I didn''t bother to argue with him.
However, as soon as I went to the hall of thew firm, intending to go out, I saw the receptionist
entertaining someone.
The man saw me and shouted, "Charlotte Archer."
"Brother Shelton, why are you here?"
It was Shelton Cowell.
Shelton walked over to me with a friendly smile on his face, "Recently, we have encountered some
medical disputes. The legal consultant of our hospital is here."
"Are you here to see a legal consultant?"
I was a little surprised.
Shouldn''t it be the legal consultants looking for their employers? Howe it was the employer
who took the initiative to turn to the legal consultant?
Shelton nodded, "Yes, he is busy. So I have toe here in person."
I suddenly wondered whether Shelton''s legal consultant was Sharon.
Shelton, who had a good temper, was easygoing and approachable. In that case, Shelton surely
would bully him.
Or all thewyers of K3 Law Firm should be unreliable people.
When I was thinking about it randomly, someone behind me teased, "Shelton, don''t make fun of
me."
Shelton looked behind me and smiled, "I am telling the truth."
I looked back and saw a person standing at the door of the office in the middle behind me.
The man''s hair was a little thin. And he, who was in his forties, probably was somewhat older than
Shelton. Even so, he looked good and energetic, unlike Sharon who was full-bellied.
Shelton walked forward and shook hands with him. Then he turned around and asked me,
"Charlotte, what are you doing here? Do you need awyer? Do you need me to introduce
someone to you?"
At that time, I was a little hesitant. However, thinking that I hadn''t found awyer yet, I thought that if
it was Shelton who introduced awyer to me, they probably would give me a discount.
So I said shamelessly, "Yes, I haven''t got one yet."
Shelton called me in. Only then did I know that thiswyer was Michael ke, an acewyer of K3
Law Firm.
After entering the office, I simply told Michael the situation. Then he nodded. "No problem. I can
take this case."
"Then regarding thewyer''s fee..." I didn''t expect Michael to agree.
I was so afraid that he would charge me with a high price.
Before Michael could speak, Shelton said first, "I gave you so much money every year. And I didn''t
turn to you many times at all. This case is on our hospital."
"How can it be?" I said first, "I can pay him. But I probably can''t pay him so much at once. However,
I can pay thewyer''s fee by installments."
Among thewyers whom I consulted previously, some of them said that besides thepensation,
I had to pay the extra fees.
And their charge ranged from tens of thousands of dors to hundreds of thousands of dors.
The way I saw it, thewyer''s fee on Michael''s side surely wouldn''t be low.
Michael nced at Shelton and hesitated for a moment. Then he said, "It''s the first time I''ve seen
you made a request to me for a woman. Okay. For the sake that you''re an old bachelor. I''ll count it
as your case this time."
I wanted to oppose it. However, Shelton and Michael drove me away on an excuse that they had to
discuss something.
After going out, I nned to thank Shelton sincerely and send him a gift after the case was over.
After I found anwyer, I originally thought that I finally could focus on the work for the design
competition at ease.
However, the prosecutor and the police came to me in turns.
They asked me the same questions over and over again. Fearing that I would be put in prison
again, I dared not have anyints and answered their questions one by one.
Every time when I was free, it was already past 10 p.m.
At any cost, I had to give the designpetition a try because I needed the bonus for the final
round.
So I started to work on the drawings in the evening every time. However, after a busy day, my mind
was in a mess. And I couldn''t draw anything at all.
To take part in the preliminary contest, I had no choice but to force myself to work on the drawings.
However, no matter how hard I tried, I wasn''t satisfied with the drawing. But I didn''t have much time.
So I had to stay upte to work on the drawing. The more I stayed upte, the more confused I was
and the worse my drawing was.
It was a vicious cycle.
Seeing that there were only five days to go before the deadline for the submission of the work for
the preliminary contest was met, I looked at the rough draft in my hand, feeling helpless and
anxious.
That evening, sitting at a small table in the escort room, I drank three cups of coffee in a row and
revised the work on theptop over and over again. Finally, I fell asleep...

The next morning, I opened my eyes and realized that I had fallen asleepst night, feeling
regretful.
But I didn''t have time to overthink it. Then I packed up my things and went to work.
There was a weekly meeting today.
After I arrived at thepany, I went to the conference room and turned on myputer ahead of
time, intending to see how to further modify the drawing. However, I found that the design work in
front of me wasn''t the same as that I had seen before I had fallen asleepst night!
A lot of parts of the design work in front of me had been modified.
Moreover, many petty details of it had been tactfully adjusted.
"Who modified my design work?"
"And who would know that I was drawing in the hospital?"
As I stared at the work in front of me, a thought shed across my mind...
It should be the Snail Girl...
Soon, Iughed at myself, "It''s just a legend. How could there be such a thing in the world?"
However, after I dismissed my thought, I noticed some intricate details in the work...
