Chapter 369
Just as Leslie finished speaking, the meeting room door swung open. A serious–looking man walked in.
Aurelia instantly recognized the man. Wasn’t he the lawyer who showed up to sort things. out after Leslie bumped into Jackson’s car last time?
After that incident, Aurelia learned that this man, Allen Bart, was one of the top lawyers in Seacester.
With such an impressive track record, Allen was in high demand. His schedule was always full, leaving no room for those who sought his services.
As Allen entered, even Eva’s lawyer showed respect, looking quite afraid of him..
Allen smiled faintly. “Hello, everyone. I’m Ms. Simmons‘ legal representative. I can assure you the documents are legally sound.”
Eva glanced at Allen in surprise. She couldn’t believe that Aurelia could afford such an expensive lawyer.
Eva clenched her fists tightly. With anger in her eyes, she grabbed the documents from the table and ripped them apart. “Ha! Do you think you can trick me? That’s not happening!”
“Eva Hanks! You’re crossing the line!” Lucia scolded, looking displeased.
Eva snorted defiantly. “Do you think you can kick me out with this, Ms. Lawson? Not a chance!
“Aurelia and Leslie probably emptied their pockets just to hire Mr. Bart, right? You’re trying to scare me, huh? Well, I don’t scare easily!”
Eva couldn’t believe Aurelia could get those documents. She convinced herself that it was impossible when she thought about the contents of the documents,
Allen casually took out another document from his briefcase. “Ms. Hanks, this is the original document. If you still don’t believe it, I can have my friend from the notary office. provide another notarized original document”
Eva remained silent. Her face turned pale as she noticed the bright red seal on the document held by Allen.
It was only at the moment that Aurelia finally saw the contents of the document. It was a jewelry transfer agreement.
As Aurelia continued reading, she could hardly believe what she was seeing. Her name was clearly written under the column of the necklace’s owner.
Could this be what it feels like when money falls from the sky? Aurelia felt dizzy as she tried to count how many zeros were in 50 million.
Luckily, Leslie steadied her in time.
Aurelia gripped Leslie’s arm tightly, looking up at him, questioning what was going on.
Leslie just looked at her calmly, nodding slightly to reassure her that everything was fine.
For some reason, Aurelia’s unsettled emotions were instantly soothed by Leslie. She always believed that Leslie wouldn’t deceive her.
So when Aurelia glanced at Eva again, she felt much more composed.
Meanwhile, Eva appeared shocked and worried.
However, Leslie didn’t give Eva a chance to speak. He pulled out another document. “This is the agreement between Ms. Hanks and the necklace’s owner.
“In Articles 10, 12, and 15, Ms. Hanks, you were repeatedly reminded not to let the necklace out of your sight, not to entrust it to others, and definitely not to let it pass through other hands.”
He continued, “Ms. Hanks, it seems like you haven’t taken any of those clauses seriously. Don’t accuse us of forging agreements again. Your signature is there, along with the company’s official seal.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Now that Aurelia owns the necklace, she has the right to hold both you and the
magazine publisher accountable,” Leslie said as he lightly tapped the agreement on the table three times.
