Chapter 258 Oscar, the Lawyer
“Yeah. We’re a family. So, let’s act like one. I’ll leave my case to you, then.” Miguel chilled out and said.
“You got it.” Oscar agreed without hesitation.
Somehow, Hannah was really touched at that moment. If it were Charles, he would definitely turn them
down on the excuse of being too busy and try very hard not to get himself involved in something like
this.
But Oscar had been part of it actively. Compared with Oscar, Charles was really nothing.
“Right. Shall we call Kash Hunter over to discuss the issues in court?” Miquel suddenly thought of it
and suggested.
“No.”Hannah gave him a firm no.
Both Oscar and Miguel were looking at her surprisingly.
“Mr Hunter will be my lawyer. He can’t defend me effectively if he doesn’t know the case well.” said
Miguel.
“Even he could be bribed” Hannah uttered the words one by one.
But Miguel didn’t seem to be convinced.
“I don’t trust anyone else now.” Hannah understood her father’s confusion and said, “They must have
been well prepared once they could frame you up. Don’t you think it’s a most common way to bribe our
lawyer?”
That being said, he’d known Kash for many years, and didn’t believe he would sell him out.
“Dad, can you try to defend yourself in court?” Hannah asked.
According to the laws of Northfield, one could either hire a professional lawyer to defend for him, or Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
defend himself in court.
She didn’t want to hire any lawyers. Any lawyer could be bribed. Once the lawyer was bribed, he
wouldn’t try hard to defend her father or win the case. Instead, he might help accelerate the process of
passing a sentence or even aggravate her father’s punishment.
1 can shock and awe my employees in the office. But, speaking of defending myself in court, I’m not
sure of it.”
Hannah pursed her lips.
If she forced her father to defend himself, that wouldn’t be a perfect plan when considering her father’s
ability to defend. After all, they were gonna face one of the top prosecution lawyers in the country.
But it was too difficult to find a trustworthy lawyer. In her previous life, she had very few connections
with people, let alone lawyers. And she couldn’t make sure the lawyers wouldn’t betray them in the
midway.
“if you can’t find a proper lawyer, why not considering me?” Oscar said out of a blue.
Hannah frowned and wondered why he was messing it up again.
Tve got the lawyer’s qualification certificate.” said Oscar.
Hannah was shocked. So were Miguel and Michelle.
It was widely known that there were extremely strict requirements for lawyers in this country. Anyone
who had acquired the lawyer’s qualification certificate must have very good memory, and was super
logical and very adaptive to different situations. In a word, they must be
the best of the best.
“When did you get that?” Hannah tried hard to calm down and asked.
“In college.”
“Your minor was law?”
“No. I took self-study examination”
That could be way too difficult. Normally, it would be much easier to acquire the lawyer’s qualification
certificate from law schools. Once they left the campus, it could be one in a million chance to pass the
examination.
“Do you know a certified lawyer must take certification test every year?”
“I just passed it right before we got married” answered Oscar.
“Oh Lord! You’re a real expert in time management!” Hannah couldn’t help to tease him.
She couldn’t tell she was praising him or taunting him. After all, he was busy chasing after girls and
making himself the trending topics every day. But he still had time to study, and, he did really well in his
study!
“Darling, do you have any other doubts?” Oscar smiled lightly and said in a very soft tone.
Hearing it, Miguel and Michelle must believe Oscar loved and cared about their beloved Hannah, and
of course they were much too relieved.
“Have you ever been in court?” asked Hannah.
“Did the school debate competition count?” Oscar asked.
Hannah was lost for words, and got mad. But she tried to chill out and asked again, “How many debate
competitions have you won?”
“I screwed up in the first one.”
Hannah kept telling herself to take it easy. Oscar could always stun her with the ability beyond ordinary
people. She should be confident on him. But, how could she take it easy now? He had good grades,
but it didn’t necessarily mean he was eloquent. Even he was eloquent, it didn’t
Error
necessarily mean he could win the case in court.
Do you have any other choice except me?” Oscar looked at her anxious face and said bluntly.
Hannah fell into silence all at once. He was right that she’d got no other choices. Why bothered to
hesitate?
“OK. It’s settled. You’ll be my father’s lawyer and defend him in court. What do you say, dad?”
Instead, Miguel took it more lightly than Hannah, and said, I agree.”
He just thought Oscar might look playful, but he wouldn’t do something he was uncertain. And he could
see Oscar did love Hannah. Now that he really loved her, he wouldn’t disappoint her. Suddenly, he
thought there would be a fair chance to win the case as Oscar was gonna be his lawyer. After that, they
discussed on the details of the case.
Hannah and Oscar didn’t leave the Cooper Manor until they had dinner there.
They sat in the car. Hannah took out her phone to go through the news. Then, her face changed
suddenly.
“What’s wrong?” Oscar asked, as if he could notice her changing face in a second. It seemed he’d paid
all his attention to her and could realize it in the first place if anything happened to her.
“My grandmother has made a scene again.”
“Mm?” Oscar came closer to her.
Then he read the words on the screen, “The Old Mrs Cooper announced to cut the relation with his
second son, Miguel Cooper, the CEO of Cooper Group.”
Hannah clicked it open and showed it to Oscar. Every word of the news pissed her off.
They said in the news that her father Miguel was a very ungrateful and heartless person, who never
visited his mother in the old house, but insulted her each time they met and even beat her up in private.
Her grandmother also told the press that she would have died long ago if her eldest son Roger hadn’t
been there for her and taken good care of her.
She said Miguel didn’t love or respect her, neither did Hannah, who also showed no respect to her at
all, and sassed her back or even cursed her in any occasion.
She even said Miguel had played dirty tricks to take over Cooper Group, which she said wasn’t handed
to him from his father at first…. “Would you like to teach her a good lesson?” asked Oscar.
Compared with Hannah, who was furious, Oscar looked quite calm and peaceful, but somehow, he
looked cruel, bloody cruel.
“No.”Hannah turned it down and said, “I can deal with her.”
“To someone unreasonable like her, I don’t think you need to treat her with due respect.”
Hannah smiled coldly.
To treat her with due respect? No way! She just wanted to let her know dying wasn’t the worst ending.
What was worst was that she would suffer like she was dying.
