Chapter 870 Jealous Again
Chapter 870 Jealous Again
It wasn't that Sydney was overestimating herself. Julien was now deeply in love with her.
She was confident that no matter what she asked him to do, he would agree, even if she wanted him to let Greta go.
But would Sydney let Greta go?
Definitely not.
So Sydney thought that the person behind Greta was barking up the wrong tree.
Sure enough, before Julien could reply, the lawyer touched the tip of his nose and said, "Of course, I know it is impossible. Mr. Flint and I are just acquaintances. How can he possibly go easy on Greta for my sake?"
"You know this, then why did you take her case?" Sydney responded.
The lawyer knew her relationship with Julien, so he smiled and answered politely, "Just for money. Mr. Sullivan, the person behind Miss Sullivan, promised to give me 5 million dollars as long as I can persuade Mr. Flint."
He opened five fingers.
Sydney gasped, "Five million? That's a lot of money."
The lawyer nodded in agreement. "Yes. And he will pay me 2 million dollars for taking the case, so how could I refuse 7 million dollars?"
Sydney laughed, "But what if you fail? If so, you can't get the 5 million dollars, right?"
"That's not true." The lawyer shook his head. "I asked Mr. Sullivan about this. After all, I'm clear about my real friendship with Mr. Flint, and I know I can't soften Mr. Flint up, so I told Mr. Sullivan about this in the beginning. He knew that I might fail, but he insisted on trying. Since he said so, I can take the money with no mental burden."
He shrugged.
Sydney was amazed by this person and gave him a thumbs-up. "Are you not afraid that your reputation as a lawyer will be damaged?"
The lawyer laughed, "Compared to money, reputation is nothing."
Hearing this, Sydney had nothing to say.
This person, as Julien said, was very greedy.
Yet it was understandable. In this world, who was not greedy?
She was greedy, and so was Julien.
Otherwise, why would she and Julien have to work so hard for their corporations?
"So you came to me to intercede on Greta's behalf?" At this point, Julien finally opened his mouth again, gazing coolly at the lawyer.
The lawyer pushed his glasses and nodded. "Yeah, but I'm just going through the motions. Since I took this job, even though I know it's useless, I have to show my attitude. That's what a paid lawyer should do."
Awesome!
Sydney once again gave a thumbs up to the lawyer with admiration.
Seeing this, Julien pursed his thin lips in displeasure and then bent her thumb down with warning eyes.
She was not allowed to admire other men, except for him.
Sydney rolled her eyes in amusement, but she nodded her head, indicating that she would only admire him.
Only then was Julien satisfied. He moved his gaze to the lawyer across from him. "Are you not worried that I'll be unhappy?"
The lawyer adjusted his tie and replied with a confident face, "Although I'm not close to you, I understand you. You know the result and my character, so you won't be upset with me. In view of this, I dared to take the case."
Julien snorted coldly and did not say anything.
Indeed, he was not angry with this lawyer. Thus, he did not show much emotion or give many reactions.
After all, no matter what this lawyer did, it would not change any of Julien's decisions.
What was more, this lawyer, who had taken the case, was just going through the motions, not sincerely trying to vindicate Greta. Naturally, Julien wouldn't stop the lawyer from making money. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Sydney looked slightly sideways at the man beside her and saw nothing but a trace of coldness on the man's face. Then she knew that the lawyer was right.
It seemed that this lawyer knew Julien very well.
"Since you know he won't be upset with you, why don't you quickly plead for Greta to finish your work? After that, we're going to see Greta," Sydney said to the lawyer, looking at her watch.
A police officer who had just brought them here said that Greta's interrogation would be over in almost half an hour.
Half an hour had almost passed.
So they should hurry up.
Hearing Sydney's reminder, the lawyer quickly looked at Julien.
Seeing that Julien was expressionless and that he did not refuse Sydney's proposal, the lawyer knew Julien's meaning and realized that Sydney was very important to Julien. The lawyer moved his tie and put on a regretful look. Then he took out the phone, tapped it a few times, and said to Julien, "Hello, Mr. Flint, I am Ms. Greta Sullivan's lawyer. I want to know your attitude toward this case. Can you accept a private settlement? Of course, the compensation or anything will definitely satisfy you and Ms. Raines, as long as you two forgive Ms. Greta Sullivan this time, so can we negotiate?"
"No, get out!" Julien's face was stolid, and his voice was cold.
Sydney didn't say anything, but she shook her head seriously in support of Julien.
The lawyer pushed his glasses, changed his expression from respect to regret, and sighed, "Okay, I see. I'm sorry to bother you."
After saying that, the lawyer saved the recording and put away his phone with satisfaction. "Well, I'm done. With this recording, I can go and get five million dollars."
Hearing this, Sydney looked at the lawyer's eager look. She laughed, "This is the most perfunctory process I've ever seen. Anyone can see this is a show. If you hand over this recording, will he give you the money?"
The lawyer patted his phone through his suit. "Don't worry, Ms. Raines. Mr. Sullivan will. He only said that as long as I pleaded for Miss Sullivan to Mr. Flint, he would give me the money. I did it just now. Even though it was a show, I was pleading. After all, he did not say that I could not act."
Once again, Sydney had nothing to say.
This person's words were so reasonable.
She couldn't retort.
And he was quite plausible.
He must be an outstanding lawyer.
Thinking of this, Sydney took out her phone and checked more information about this lawyer online.
This time, her eyes widened, and her expression changed as she looked up at the lawyer in front of her.
This person was indeed not ordinary.
"What are you looking at?" Just as Sydney was filled with amazement at this lawyer, a large hand suddenly reached out and then covered her eyes to stop her from staring at the lawyer with appreciation.
Julien's thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his face was sullen.
At the thought of the way she looked at this lawyer, he felt uncomfortable.
So Julien's gaze on the lawyer became sharp and cold.
