Chapter 222


    Ever since Audrey helped ir win thewsuit, many people came to her for theirwsuits. Audrey was


    busy dealing with thewsuit and the affairs as a legal consultant in the Cordova Group. Time passed


    quickly.


    This afternoon, Audrey went to the Cordova Group as usual. After handling some matters, she left.


    Bryson had gone to another city to sign a contract and won''te back to Peace City until night.


    Audrey had not seen him.


    As soon as she left the Cordova Tower, her phone rang.


    Looking at the number on the phone, Audrey immediately picked it up.


    "Hello, Maria, what''s wrong?"


    A cry came from the phone.


    "Audrey, Audrey..."


    Audrey tensed up her back and had a bad feeling in her heart.


    "Maria, don''t cry. Just say it slowly."


    Maria cried for a while and said in a hoarse voice, "Audrey, we lost. We lost thewsuit. Not only did


    they notpensate us for our medical expenses, but they used us of deliberately ckmailing.


    They asked us for arge number of mental damage fees. We don''t know how they got the evidence,


    and the judge sentenced us to lose thewsuit on the spot."


    Sure enough, thewsuit had lost.


    Audrey had been worried about this case all the time.


    "Maria, where are you now?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "I''m outside the court."


    "Don''t go anywhere. I''ll be right there."


    "Alright."


    ...


    At night.


    In the depths of an alley in Peace City.


    A skinny man got out of the taxi and sneakily walked in.


    In the alley, someone was waiting there.


    He handed the skinny man a ck stic bag.


    After weighing the stic bag in his hand, the skinny man said with dissatisfaction, "Didn''t we agree


    that as long as I sell you all the evidence of the Brown family, you will give me two hundred thousand


    yuan after you win thewsuit? The weight is only half of it!"


    "What the hell evidence did you give me? If it wasn''t for my glib tongue, how could I reverse the


    lawsuit? I even don''t want to pay you this. Just give it back to me!"


    As he spoke, the man reached out to take the money back.


    "I want it, of course. A hundred thousand yuan is also money."


    "Take the money and leave quickly!"


    "I know, I know."


    The skinny man quickly left the alley.


    Under the light at the entrance of the alley, the man in a suit and leather shoes could be seen clearly. It


    was Deegan.


    The skinny man took the money and was ready to take a taxi to leave.


    However, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and snatched the bag from his hand.


    The skinny man immediately turned around to chase. However, the person did not run away. Instead,


    he stood there and weighed the ck bag.


    "Who are you? Give me back my things!"


    Audrey was wearing a ck shirt, casual pants, and a pair of white canvas shoes. It waste in the


    night, but she was wearing ck sunsses.


    She looked at the skinny man with a smile.


    "A hundred thousand yuan is not a small amount. It is enough to buy your professional ethics as a


    lawyer. Such ethics are really worthless."


    The man''s expression changed. He reached out to snatch the bag from Audrey. But Audrey dodged


    faster.


    "Give me back my things!" The man said angrily.


    "How do you prove it is yours?" Audrey smiled and looked at him, "Nick, why not call it over? If it is


    answered, it belongs to you and I will return it to you."


    Nick was dark-faced.


    He seemed to encounter a scoundrel.


    "Give me back the money. I can give you ten thousand yuan!" Nick requested.


    Audrey smiled and looked at him without saying anything.


    Nick gritted his teeth, "Then ... I''ll give you twenty thousand yuan. Is that okay?"


    Audrey tittered, but she still did not speak.


    Nick almost couldn''t bear it.


    He waved his hand in pain, "Alright, alright, alright. I''ll give you half."


    "Half for each of us. Nick, you are really generous."


    "It is my bottom line. You can''t have more!" Nick looked at the ck bag with great pity.


    He had only gotten half of the money, and now half of it was hacked off. He felt extremely sad.


    Audrey noticed that Maria and the others arrived and sneered at him, "Nick, I think you should exin it


    to Maria and the others!"


    Maria, along with her son and daughter-inw, appeared.


    With a bang, Maria pped Nick in the face.


    "You bastard! Louis trusts you so much! How dare you schemed against us secretly?" Maria scolded


    with her body trembling.


    Louis was so furious that he wanted to beat up Nick, but he was hugged tightly by his wife. His left leg


    was broken and had to walk on a crutch.


    "Louis, don''t be angry. The doctor said that your legs should be well-rested."


    Louis pointed at Nick and scolded, "You son of a bitch. As soon as my legs are healed, I will not let you


    go."


    Nick shrunk his neck.


    Being scolded, Nick suddenly became angry.


    "You paid me so less." Nick said angrily, "You don''t know much about the market right now. What are


    you going to do with the several thousand yuan? They gave me a hundred thousand yuan!"


    "We''ve known each other for ten years. Just for a hundred thousand yuan, you sold me out?" Louis


    was so angry and his fingers trembled.


    "You can''t me me for this. The person you offended is too powerful. Even if I wasn''t yourwyer, it


    would have ended up like this." Nick tried to argue. "me your bad luck instead."


    Afraid that Maria would hit him again, Nick did not dare to take the money back and run away.


    Audrey would like to stop Nick but was stopped by Maria.


    Maria sighed, "Forget it. Let him go. Even if he continues to stay, it will only make us


    angrier."
