Chapter 1250
Felicity took it as just something that a yboy would typically say, so she curled her lips and said,
“Well, this has got to be tough for you then.”
Just as she was speaking, her phone rang. It was a call from Ste.
“Are youing back tonight? Or are you staying at Vermont’s ce?”
Felicity immediately stood up, “I’ming back!”
Then, she grabbed the iPad and left. Vermont froze in ce.
‘Keegan is such a useless guy. When is he going to marry Ste and take her home? He’s literally the
reason why I’m still single!”
Keegan told Ste that he would find awyer for her, and he did. The next day, someone contacted
Ste and told her that Keegan had given him her number.
Ste told thewyer to meet her at a secluded cafe nearby. She pushed the door open and was a little
taken aback.
It turned out that thewyer was someone she had seen before. It was Ted Eldrich, the samewyer
who represented Be in the previous defamation case.
Ted stood up as soon as he saw Steing in and greeted her politely, “Hello, I’m thewyer
appointed by Keegan. My name is Ted Eldrich.”
Ste recollected herself and nodded. “Nice to meet you.”
“Have a seat, Ms. Jewell,” Ted said warmly. “Keegan had briefly told me about what’s happening, but
can you walk me through it again so I don’t miss out on any details?”
Ste quickly snapped out of her confusion and carefully exined the situation to Ted.
Ted was very professional. He seemed to be calmer a more empatheticwyer like Marshall.
However, this sense of indifference came from maintaining a professional distance from his clients. It
did not affect the way he handled the case at all. He would raise doubts and questions regarding
Ste’s statements to note them down.
They finished three cups of coffee each before Ste could finally rify everything.
Ted closed his notebook and lifted his gaze. “I understand the situation now. I’ll issue a notice as soon
as possible to demand the other party’s eviction.”
Ste was taken aback. “They’re not going to obey, right?”
Ted smiled. “It doesn’t matter. This is just a part of the protocol. We can only proceed to the next step
after issuing a warning. However, you have to be prepared.”
“Prepared for what?”
“This case is very straightforward but tricky because we’re dealing with a kindergarten. Hundreds of
children would be left without a school to attend if we were to evict the kindergarten. I’m sure the
parents will be against this, and the opposingwyer will exploit this point to provoke the parents. It’s
not going to be easy dealing with this situation.”
Marshall had already told Ste about this previously.
The kindergarten was the biggest uncertainty in this case.
Ste knew she could not expect the parents who paid their children’s dispute between the
kindergarten and thendowner. Undoubtedly, their primary concern would be their personal interests.
Ste pursed her lips and said, “Mr. Eldrich, my intention is not to evict the kindergarten. I just don’t
want the founder of this kindergarten to take advantage of this and keep earning money from it.”
Ted understood what she meant. “Well, I have a rough idea of what to do now if that’s the case. Rest
assured. I’ll do my best to safeguard your interests.”
Ste nodded. “Thank you.”
Ted ced his belongings back into his bag. Ste stared at him for a few seconds before she
suddenly asked, “Mr.
Eldrich, can I ask you a few questions outside of work?”
Ted looked at the time. “I charge based on hours, and Keegan’s payment is not used up yet. Go
ahead.”
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
Ste was speechless.
‘What a money-minded man.’
Then, she cleared her throat and asked, “Are you a very good friend to Keegan?”
Ted lifted his gaze. “We went to the same college. We were in the same dorm, but we studied different
courses.”
“Hm… So, were you appointed by Keegan too, when you represented Be for the defamation case
back then?”
