    <b>Chapter </b><b>249</b>


    “Sweetheart, the Irving family refuses to drop thewsuit. What are we going to do?” Melinda asked<b>, </b>her voice <b>tinged </b><b>with </b><b>worry</b>.


    “Calm down. I’ll get the bestwyers for Wade and Yvonne. There’s no way we can lose this case!” Paul replied with a cold <b>sneer</b><b>, </b><b>his </b>eyes glinting with determination.


    “Selene, you’re from Maple Grove and you’ve got a lot of connections. Do you know any top–notchwyers<b>?</b><b>”</b>


    “I know a few. I can make some calls<b>,</b><b>” </b>Selene said hesitantly. She really didn’t want to get involved in this mess.


    The whole situation with Wade and Yvonne seemed utterly ridiculous to her. They hurt someone in broad daylight and even ended <b>up </b><b>in </b>jail. It was embarrassing to admit they were her cousins.


    Under Melinda’s pleading gaze, Selene reluctantly dialed awyer she knew. He was highlypetent and well–respected in Maple Grove.


    The call was answered quickly. At first, thewyer seemed enthusiastic, but when Selene mentioned the Brimer family from <b>Cedarvale</b>, his tone changed abruptly, and he hung up.


    Selene made several more calls, all with the same result.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Miss Selene, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but no one would dare take on the Brimer family’s case. It’s too risky,” onewyer exined before hanging up.


    Selene had put the call on speaker, and thewyer’s fearful tone was loud and clear to both Paul and Melinda.


    “What does that mean<b>? </b>Why won’t anyone take our case?” Melinda’s anxiety was palpable.


    Without a goodwyer for Wade, they were <b>in </b>serious trouble when the court date came.


    Paul frowned and called anotherwyer he was friendly with.


    “Mr. Paul, I can’t ept this case. You’ve angered the wrong people. The Lawyers‘ Association has made it clear–no one can afford to take on the Brimer family’s case if they want to keep their career.”


    “It must be Connor!” Melinda spat out angrily. “Who else could do this?”


    Just then, Paul’s phone rang. It was his secretary.


    Paul answered, and the voice on the other end was frantic. “Mr. Paul<b>, </b>there’s trouble! The police are here with evidence of tax evasion. <b>and </b>embezzlement. They’re going to shut down thepany!”


    “What!” Paul <b>nearly </b>fainted from the shock.


    No one in Paul’s position had a spotless record; they all had their skeletons. The evidence the police had was <b>rock</b>–solid, leaving Paul <b>no </b>room to argue.


    Brimer Group was <b>sealed</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>all <b>of </b><b>Paul’s </b>assets were frozen. Even the house they lived in was to be seized. <b>Overnight</b>, they had nowhere <b>to </b>go<b>..</b>


    Forget about helping Wade <b>and </b>Yvonne; they <b>couldn’t </b>even take care of themselves,


    “Selene<b>, </b>please, can you call someone in Maple <b>Grove</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>Melinda pleaded desperately. “<b>You </b>see what’s happening <b>to </b><b>our </b><b>family</b><b>. </b><b>If </b><b>Maple </b><b>Grove doesn’t </b>help, we’re <b>doomed</b><b>.</b><b>”</b>


    <b>“</b><b>Aunt </b>Melinda, <b>don’t </b>worry. I’ll call Grandpa<b>,</b><b>” </b>Selene <b>reassured </b>her<b>.</b>
