Chapter 249 "Sweetheart, the Irving family refuses to drop the lawsuit. What are we going to do?" Melinda asked, her voice tinged with worry.
"Calm down. I'll get the best lawyers for Wade and Yvonne. There's no way we can lose this case!" Paul replied with a cold sneer, his eyes glinting with determination.
"Selene, you're from Maple Grove and you've got a lot of connections. Do you know any top-notch lawyers?" "I know a few. I can make scalls," 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 up in jail.

The call was answered quickly. At first, the lawyer seemed enthusiastic, but when Selene mentioned the Brimer family from Cedarvale, his tone changed abruptly, and he hung up.
Selene made several more calls, all with the sresult.
"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," one lawyer explained before hanging up.
Selene had put the call on speaker, and the lawyer's fearful tone was loud and clear to both Paul and Melinda. "What does that mean? Why won't anyone take our case?" Melinda's anxiety was palpable. Without a good lawyer for Wade, they were in serious trouble when the court date came.
Paul frowned and called another lawyer he was friendly with.
"Mr. Paul, I can't accept 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, there's trouble! The police are here with evidence of tax evasion. and embezzlement. They're going to shut down the company!"

"Selene, please, can you call someone in Maple Grove?" Melinda pleaded desperately. "You see what's happening to our family. If Maple Grove doesn't help, we're doomed." "Aunt Melinda, don't worry. I'll call Grandpa," Selene reassured her.
