Chapter 535 Don't Refuse Me in a Hurry
"Hello, are you Audrey Koch?"
"Yes, I am."
Richard smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you now, Miss Koch."
"I'm okay, Mr. Williams. Is there anything urgent?"
"Yes. I have something important to ask you. You know about the case of Fida Trading Company, right?" Richard asked directly.
"Yes, I have heard of it."
"All right. Recently, our Procuratorate has decided to bring up a lawsuit against Fida Trading Company. However, we haven't found a suitable lawyer for the time being. Coincidentally, someone introduced you to me. And I have seen the records of the cases you had acted for. I feel that you're the most suitable one. So, I'm calling to ask you to become the lawyer for this case."
'The lawyer of Fida Trading Company case...'
'This case...'
Audrey frowned.
"Well..."
"What's the matter?"
"To be honest!" Audrey said tactfully, "I just left Square Law Firm last month and have not joined any other law firm yet. I am afraid I cannot become the lawyer for this case. I'm sorry, Mr. Williams."
"I have already heard about this!" Richard said with a smile, "And I also heard that you are preparing to set up a law firm yourself. Isn't that right?"
Audrey frowned and said, "I do have this plan, but it's still a plan now."
"It doesn't matter. This case will be held in a month. There's no need to rush for now. I'm calling you to ask for your consideration," Richard said with a smile, "So, Audrey, don't reject me in a hurry."
Audrey frowned even more.
Audrey didn't expect Richard to know her so well. She wondered who recommended her to Richard.
Richard was the chief prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate in Peace City. If Audrey refused Richard, it would be difficult for her to establish herself in Peace City in the future.
Audrey didn't want to take on this case, but she cannot offend Richard.
After thinking for a while, Audrey nodded and said, "Of course, I will take on this case."
"Then, come to the Procuratorate and sign the contract after the National Day."
"No problem. I'll call you then."
"Alright!"
After hanging up the phone, Audrey's face clouded.
Nell could tell that something was wrong with Audrey.
"Is the prosecutor you just mentioned Richard Williams? The chief prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate in Peace City?" Nell asked.
Audrey nodded and said, "It's him." NôvelDrama.Org content.
"Then the Fida Trading Company case is the case that involved illegal banishing children from orphanages and robbing land from orphanages?"
"Yes, it's that case."
"F*ck!" Nell shouted, "It is said that many people are involved in this case. No lawyer in the entire city dares to accept this case. You accept it?"
"Of course I know," Audrey sighed.
"Then why are you so stupid to accept this case?"
"The person who called me just now was Mr. Williams of the Provincial Procuratorate. I told him that I had already left my post, but he knew my plan of establishing my own law firm. How can I refuse him?"
"You are not the most famous lawyer in Peace City. Why doesn't he call others? There must be something fishy in this case!" Nell said angrily, "There must be someone behind you."
Of course, Audrey knew that.
"Since I have accepted this case, I will be in charge of it."
"Audrey, you have to think carefully. If you take this case, you will be in big trouble in the future. Now, many people in the government are watching. Moreover, many big shots are involved in it. You'll get into trouble," Nell reminded.
"I know about this. I will pay attention to it."
"Well, you'd better tell Bryson and ask him to send more bodyguards to protect you."
"Don't worry too much. Take care of yourself. Look at your own feet. The hit-and-run driver is still in the police station. Have the police officers come over?"
Nell nodded. "They've already been here. They said that the driver confessed to all the crimes he had committed. His family is also here. They apologized sincerely and were willing to compensate me for all the medical expenses. He has handed over all the follow-up medical expenses to the hospital and will compensate me for a series of mental damages. Moreover, the driver's wife is pregnant, so I don't want to file a lawsuit against him."
Hearing this, Audrey could understand Nell.
As long as the other party was sincere, everything was negotiable. In this world, there weren't many disputes. The important thing was whether the two sides were willing to give in or if the wrong side was willing to take responsibility.
"Whatever decision you make, I will support you!" Audrey said with a smile.
Suddenly, Nell's face turned pale.
Audrey sensitively noticed the change in Nell's expression.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nell immediately got out of bed and said hurriedly, "Help me to the bathroom. My stomach is hurting."
Audrey was speechless.
Nell went to the bathroom several times that night.
Nell had diarrhea.
Nell continued to ask James to peel oranges and apples for her during the day to torment him. She had eaten a lot of fruits that day.
That was the outcome.
At five o'clock in the morning, Audrey helped Nell back to the bed once again. Nell muttered as if she was about to collapse.
"I won't eat so many fruits tomorrow. I will eat normally tomorrow. Just drink more water."
Audrey held her forehead and looked at Nell, saying, "Nell, I think your stomach is all right now, but..."
"But what?"
Audrey said slowly, "Something is wrong with your brain."
'If Nell wasn't sick in the head, why would she eat so many fruits. And I need to help her all night. So tiresome,' thought Audrey.
"Nonsense!" Nell retorted.
