Chapter 197 Not just Ethan , but Alice was also shocked .
Shed heard of Lawyer Henry , he was renowned and formidable .
Even the Alice familys lawyer stood up , flustered Mr.
Henry , I didnt expect you to be the opposing counsel .
I apologize No need to apologize .
Were all just doing our jobs .
Please , sit down , Henry said calmly , walking over to Alice Ms.
Alice , Ive reviewed the documents .
Whats your desired outcome ? Alice hadnt expected such a high profile lawyer .
This Was Ethan interjected , Alice , think carefully .
Your second brother is willing to give you the company .
Is that less than Maple Leafs salary ? a sure win .
Alice looked at him .
You didnt say that earlier .
His flip flop was breathtaking Ethan glanced at Henry .
He didnt want to , but if this lawyer was involved , they had no chance of winning .
This lawyer worked exclusively for the Wilson family and never handled small cases .
And this case had nothing to do with the Wilsons .
Did Alice hire him ? Impossible ! Alice saw the panic on her brothers face .
I want to win , and I want the guilty party to pay .
That was all she wanted .
Luke stared at Alice , disbelief etched on his face .
He hadnt expected her to be so ruthless .
Ethan slammed his fist on the table .
Alice , if Mom and Dad knew youd put your own brother in jail , would they rest in peace ? Luke played with you when you were a child .
Dont you remember ? I remember , Alice said .
She remembered everything : the Alice familys treatment of her , and her death in her past life .
She owed them nothing .
Before she could reply , Henry slammed his own fist on the table .
Mr .
Ethan , you cannot threaten or intimidate my client .
Shes my sister .
Im advising her .
Ms.
Alice is an adult .
Shes not the Alice familys pet .
Nobody gets to dictate her decisions , Henry retorted .
The lawyers argued , Henry rejecting a pre trial settlement .
Ethan was speechless , turning to Luke .
I tried my best .
With Henry here , well lose .
Luke just pulled a wry smile , saying nothing .
Alice sneered , Mr.
Ethan , you could take responsibility for everything Luke did .
Ethans face hardened .
Alice , stop being sarcastic .
Karmas a bitch.
Do you have any respect for Mom and Dad ? When he mentioned their parents , a sharp pang of pain pierced Alices heart .

She stood , her expression cold .
Then go ask Mom and Dad from the afterlife .
Shed already died once .
Alice gathered her documents and left , refusing to stay in the same room with the Alices .
Alice , you dare curse me ?! Ethan wanted to confront Alice , but Henrys presence restrained him .
He said politely , Mr.
Henry , I didnt expect someone as busy as you to handle this small case .
Do you know Alice ? He didnt know she knew someone like him .

I was retained , Henry replied , leaving Ethan more bewildered .
Who could have hired Henry ? Ethan tried to press , but Henry left without another word .
Ethan slammed his fist on the table .
Damn it ! Would he really watch Luke go to jail , sent there by his sister ? This would be a scandal in Washingtons elite circles .
He had to find out who hired Henry .
Was it the Wilson family ? Outside , Alice stood by the window , catching her breath .
Chloe arrived late , with Garrett Yates .
Theyd Theyd come to watch the show .
Alice saw Chloes heavy makeup and form fitting dress .
It was less flattering than her previous , more innocent style .
Overdone .
Garrett Yates put his arm around Chloe , taunting Alice , Alice , I warned you .
This is Washington .
You have to play it small .
You cant win against us .
Yeah , Alice , just drop the charges .
Youll only get humiliated .
Alice smirked .
Who says Im dropping the charges ? You cant find a lawyer .
Youll be humiliated if you dont withdraw ! Just as Chloe finished , Henry walked over .
Garrett Yatess eyes lit up .
Mr .
Henry ! What are you doing here ? Does the Wilson family have a case ? * Henry replied politely , No.
I was retained for a case .
Chloe whispered , Who is he ? Hes Lawyer Henry , a legend .
Hes the Wilson familys chief counsel and rarely takes cases .
Seeing him in court is rare .
Chloe was stunned .
Such a famous lawyer , connected to the top family .
Alice handed Henry her documents .
This is all the information Ive gathered .
Please review it .
She hadnt known Henry would be her lawyer .
Andrew Yates had pulled some strings .
Chloe slapped the documents from Alices hand , scattering them .
Alice , do you have any shame ? Youre shamelessly trying to get him to take your case .
Stop embarrassing the Alice family ! Garrett Yates mocked , Alice , I know youre desperate for a lawyer , but look who Mr.
Henry is .
He wouldnt take such a small case .
Stop making a fool of yourself .
Chloe was about to taunt again when she saw Ethan and his group emerge .
She immediately changed her tone .
Sister Alice , I know you want to win , but you cant force Mr.
Henry to take your case .
He doesnt even know you .
Its rude .
Alice slapped Chloe .
Youre the rude one ! Chloes face twisted .
She ran to Garrett Yates , sobbing .
Garrett Yates was instantly protective .
Alice , you dared to hit someone in court ? Ethan approached .
What happened ? Chloe , tears streaming , said , Brother , dont blame Sister Alice .
Shes desperate to win and shamelessly gave Mr.
Henry her documents , hoping hed take her case .
I tried to stop her , and she hit me .
She showed off her swollen cheek .
Ethan saw the slap Daniel and raised his hand to strike Alice .
Alice punched his hand away , making him wince .
Chloe jumped in .
Alice , what are you doing … AH ! 501 % Chapter 197 Menu Alice slapped Chloe again .
Youre on my papers , get out of my way before I kill you ! Chloes face swelled up like a pigs .
Alice , youre the shameless one for handing your documents to a big name lawyer ! Henry pushed his glasses up his nose .
I am her lawyer .
