Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 91

She promised Robert that she wouldn’t contact anyone from the Lawson family, especially Sean. So she didn’t ask for his help.

Yet, Riley emerged before her.

When Trevor thought about Angeline and Sean’s relationship, he wasn’t surprised Riley would show up.

Trevor looked at Angeline, then turned to Riley and said, “Mr. Gomez, would you please tell Ms. Emmerson that if this matter escalates and her relationship with Mr. Lawson is discovered, it won’t be good for Mr. Lawson?”

“Mr. Marshall, thank you for your concern for Mr. Lawson.‘

Riley smiled.

“Before Mr. Lawson appointed me.as Ms. Emmerson’s attorney, he made it clear that if this case doesn’t bring the perpetrators to justice, then I’m finished at Lawson Global! Do you think I would give up that position so easily?”

Trevor didn’t look pleased with Riley’s words.

Riley was second to none in terms of professional standards and eloquence in the industry

“Alright, I understand Ms. Emmerson’s wishes. I’ll pass them on to my clients,” Trevor said with a nod before leaving.

“Bye!”

Riley watched Trevor leave before changing his tone and addressing Angeline, “Ms. Emmerson, Mr. Lawson is on his way to Cloudsville. I’m handling this case, so rest assured. They will pay for what they’ve done.”

Angeline bit her lip.

She couldn’t bring herself to say she didn’t want to trouble Sean.

She shouldn’t bother him.

But if Trevor was the opposing attorney, Angeline hesitated to risk it. She wouldn’t and couldn’t let those monsters who had killed Henrietta go free.

“Shall we discuss this case somewhere else?” Riley asked.

Angeline nodded.

“Sure!”

After Angeline changed her clothes, she and Riley went to a cafe opposite Cloudsville College. She handed over the proof she had gathered to Riley.

Before coming, Riley had already arranged for his team to collect evidence and organize it for Angeline to review.

After reviewing the evidence, Riley said, “In this case, the maximum sentence if prosecuted is ten years because they are over 14 years old but under 16. I noticed that one of the children was a few days shy of turning 14 at the time of the assault.” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Riley handed Angeline a tissue when he noticed she could not hold back her tears.

She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and finally said, “Riley, you know about my relationship with Sean–Mr. Lawson!

“You’re the Chief Legal Officer of Lawson Global, and as Trevor mentioned, it wouldn’t be good to get Mr. Lawson involved. So if you think this case is a guaranteed win, I’d rather hand it over to another lawyer.”

Riley was surprised by Angeline’s request but responded to her anyway.

“This case is already in the public eye. Since Henrietta couldn’t speak for herself, she was

considered disabled.

“It is bullying and tormenting a disabled person, with undeniable evidence, especially video evidence recorded by the perpetrators themselves. The judge will undoubtedly impose severe penalties. The only bargaining chip the other side has to mitigate their punishment is the fact that they’re minors.”

Angeline then asked, “And what about Tommy?”

“Tommy…”

Riley pursed his lips.

“He’s already out on bail. Based on the evidence Tommy gave to the police and Michael’s testimony, it will be hard to convict him.”

“Even you can’t do anything?” Angeline pressed.

Riley nodded.

Hunter has already tried to do, it’s very difficult… almost impossible, to be honest.”
