Chapter 1223
When would that useless Liam finally many Celeste and stop interfering with his girlfriend’s hunt?
Liam said he would find a lawyer, and he moved fast.
The next day someone contacted Celeste, saying that it was a lawyer introduced by Wesley Reed wanting to meet with her.
Celeste and the other party agreed to meet at a nearby coffee shop with good privacy As she pushed open the door of the private room, Celeste was surprised.
The lawyer turned out to be a familiar face–it was Hector, the lawyer from the other party in her previous defamation case.
Seeing her come in, Hector immediately stood up and said very politely, “Hello, I’m the lawyer commissioned by Liam, my name is Hector”
Celeste came back to her senses and nodded, “Hello”
“Please sit, Ms. Campbell, Hector said kindly. “Liam has briefly explained your situation to me. Could you please explain it again in detail? I need to understand the details”
Celeste was briefly confused, then regained her composure and explained the case in detail.
Hector was very professional, and compared to empathetic lawyers like Mason Fletcher, Hector seemed more calm.
This calmness was a distance between him and his client, not indifference in his professional attitude.
For each point Celeste mentioned, he would raise his doubts, ask in detail, and then make detailed records.
It wasn’t until the ice in the water glass had melted that Celeste finally finished explaining
Hector closed his notebook, looked at her, and said, “I have understood the course of the events. I will soon issue a statement demanding the other party to move out
Celeste was surprised, “Will they listen?”
Hector smiled, “It doesn’t matter if they listen or not. This is a process, first warning, and expulsion. If they don’t listen, we can take the next step. But you need to be prepared”
“Prepared for what”
“This case is not complicated, but there is a tricky point, which is the kindergarten. If the kindergarten is evicted, hundreds of children will have no school to go to and the parents will definitely be unwilling. The other party’s lawyer will definitely start from this point, stirring up these parents to make a fuss, which will make it more troublesome.”
Mason had mentioned this to her before
The kindergarten was the biggest uncertainty
You can’t expect parents who’ve already forked out cash to send their kids to school to understand the squabble between the school and the landowner. The average Joe’s first concern is naturally their own interests.
Celeste clammed up and said, “Mr. Hector, I’m not trying to hog the land. I just want to cut off the kindergarten founder’s income stream, you get what I’m saying?” Mr. Hector got the picture. “If that’s
the case, I’ve got a rough idea of how to handle it. You can chill, I’ll do my best to safeguard your rights.”
Celeste nodded, “Thanks.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
As Hector packed some stuff into his bag, Celeste eyeballed him for a few seconds, then popped the question, “Mr. Hector, can I ask you some non–work related questions?”
Hector glanced at the time. “We’re on the clock here, and Liam’s payment isn’t used up yet. Fire away”
Celeste fell silent for a moment
He’s really money–minded.
She cleared her throat and asked, “Are you and Liam close?”
Hector looked up, “Liam and I go way back to college. We were even roommates once!
“So was it Liam who roped you in to help Sydney Denton with the defamation dispute?”
