A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

Chapter 222

Ever since Audrey helped Blair win the lawsuit, many people came to her for their lawsuits. Audrey was busy dealing with the lawsuit 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't come 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 the lawsuit. Not only did they not compensate us for our medical expenses, but they accused us of deliberately blackmailing. They asked us for a large number of mental damage fees. We don't know how they got the evidence, and the judge sentenced us to lose the lawsuit on the spot."

Sure enough, the lawsuit had lost.

Audrey had been worried about this case all the time.

"Maria, where are you now?"

"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 black plastic bag.

After weighing the plastic 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 the lawsuit? 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 black bag.

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

Audrey was wearing a black shirt, casual pants, and a pair of white canvas shoes. It was late in the night, but she was wearing black sunglasses.

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 black 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 explain it to Maria and the others!"

Maria, along with her son and daughter-in-law, appeared.

With a bang, Maria slapped 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 blame me for this. The person you offended is too powerful. Even if I wasn't your lawyer, it would have ended up like this." Nick tried to argue. "Blame your bad luck instead." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

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."
