NovelEnglishLucy was having a great chat with Matthew and Charlie when the phone rang, cutting through their fun. "Hello?" Lucy answered.
"Hey, Lulu. What's up with your company? You're in court again?" It was Casey on the other end.
Lucy got it in a flash. Lunar Arthouse must have tried to get Casey on board. She reassured her friend with a smile, "Don't worry, all's good here. We've got the case under control, and we're sure to win." They talked a bit more and then said goodbye. Charlie and the rest, who had waited for her to finish, asked, "Who was that? They know about the trouble you're having already?" Lucy thought for a moment before deciding to reveal the details.
"That was my friend, the best lawyer around. The Quinns probably wanted them for their defense, but my friend declined and called to check on me." Lucy could obviously sort this out on her own, no help needed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other hand, after their setback with Casey, the Quinn family quickly hired a new lawyer to defend them. Tzipped by, and before they knew it, the day of the trial had come.
Lucy was the party suing, and Luna was the party being sued.
Ever since that wedding, these sisters, who were not actually related, were showing their dislike for each other once more in front of everyone.
The judge hit the gavel, and the trial started.
Luna, standing with the defendants, was really upset. She thought, 'Lucy, that meanie! I've never been so embarrassed! She has the nerve to sue me, but I'll make sure she regrets it today!' She sneaked a peek at her lawyer, feeling pretty pleased with herself.
Casey, the best defense lawyer in town, had turned her down. However, Timothy adored her so much that he spent a lot of money to get another lawyer from far away.
Aiden Bronx was one of the top 50 in the world, with a record of winning almost all of his cases! Then, Luna looked at Lucy's lawyer.
She saw Charlie in a sharp dark gray suit. His tie was perfect, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses sat on his face. He stood quietly in his spot.
He was someone she had not seen before. Luna scrunched her eyebrows together. Lucy had married such a great guy. Could she not afford a good lawyer? That was just sad.
Lucy was going to be in big trouble today! At least, that was what Luna thought.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna was still feeling happy about this, not noticing the shocked look on Aiden's face.
"No way! That's Mr. Jennings, the top lawyer in the world," he mumbled wiping sweat from his forehead. He wondered if he could back out of the case now.
Aiden took a quick look at Luna and then remembered the hefty fee the Lucas family had paid to get him on board. With a firm resolve, he decided to fight the lawsuit.
If he lost, so be it. Losing to a top lawyer was not the end of the world. Plus, he then he would not have to pay back the Lucas family's money after the trial. Only a fool would decline so much money! The judge laid out the case between the defendant and the plaintiff, and the lawyers on both sides started their heated arguments.
As the debate raged on, Luna's face turned into a scowl.
