Chapter 826: Chapter 826 Who is the Most Powerful_1
Old Master Simonson had a sense of the situation and didn’t take it too seriously, chuckling as he teased Autumn Carter, “Autumn, being able to solve cases at such a young age is truly remarkable. You must learn well from your sister, and one day become a great detective!”
“No, no, no, no…” Autumn Carter waved his hands repeatedly, “If I become a detective, what will happen to the vast Carter Family estate? No, it won’t work. My grandparents said that I’m supposed to be a female tycoon in the future. Detective games are just for playing when you’re little.”
After saying that, he let out a heavy sigh and continued, “No wonder Conan stays an elementary school student forever. It seems that one really can’t be a detective when they grow up; those famous detectives seem to be quite poor…”
Laughter erupted from everyone around the dining table.
Purple Summers, who had been in a gloomy mood for many days, couldn’t help but brighten up a bit, feeling that the childish words had a special healing power.
The matriarch also forgot the brief displeasure, laughing and saying, “Autumn, you could be a wealthy detective!”
Autumn Carter thought about it seriously, then chuckled happily, “Grandma, you make a very good point!”
The laughter broke out again.
The atmosphere at dinner was rarely this good, so Violet Nelson seized the moment, smiling as she said to Caitlin Carter, “Speaking of the case, it happens that I recently met a friend whose uncle is a very famous lawyer within the industry. He has fought many lawsuits. Auntie, would you like me to ask for you?”
Caitlin Carter was slightly taken aback; she had already entrusted the case to Purple Summers, and it was a case of too many cooks spoil the broth to hire another lawyer, which would seem disrespectful to Purple Summers.
Moreover, when her younger brother had an incident years ago, the Carter Family had hired two lawyers, both top-notch in the industry with dazzling resumes, yet they still lost the lawsuit in the end.
Caitlin had lost any interest in the so-called “very famous within the industry” rhetoric and was about to politely decline when Old Master Simonson, intrigued, asked, “Oh? Which prominent lawyer is that?”
Violet Nelson smiled and said, “Great Uncle Simonson, you might not recognize his Chinese name, but you’ll definitely know his English name. He served as a senior consultant at WK Law Firm in the United States, named Rieste Lawson, with the Chinese name James Lawson.”
“Rieste from WK Law Firm!” Old Master Simonson indeed showed a trace of surprise, “Oh, has he returned to the country?”
“Yes, he quit his job abroad and came back home to start his own law firm.” Violet Nelson looked at Caitlin Carter, “I just happen to have an appointment with my friend and his uncle for tea tomorrow afternoon. Aunt, would you like to come with me?”
At that moment, for some reason, Purple Summers looked up at Violet Nelson.
Violet’s voice was soft and her eyes smiled, “Auntie, it’s okay if you’re busy. I just think it’s a rare opportunity. Just meeting him and having a chat won’t do any harm…”
“Since it’s a rare opportunity, then you should go,” Old Master Simonson said. “Rieste is quite skilled, known to have an unbeaten record. He has handled several mergers and acquisitions disputes for multinational corporations, but I’m not sure if he can display his full abilities in a criminal case.”
With Old Master Simonson having spoken, Caitlin Carter couldn’t easily refuse and subconsciously glanced at Purple Summers.
Purple Summers wore a faint smile and said, “Yes, Mr. Rieste might offer some different perspectives. It would be good to have a chat.”
Autumn Carter, being young, hearing the adults speak , instinctively asked, “Sister, is that Mr. Rieste really amazing? More amazing than you?”
“Pff!…” Violet Nelson couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Even Old Master Simonson felt the two could not be compared. One was a top figure in the industry, and the other had just passed the judicial examination; the difference between them was overwhelming.
Caitlin Carter’s face turned red with embarrassment, feeling that her young niece had misspoken and caused embarrassment for Purple Summers.
Just as she was racking her brain on how to smooth things over, she heard Purple Summers say softly, “Autumn, remember, it’s very difficult to judge if someone is capable. You must consider all aspects, but to the parties involved, whoever can win the lawsuit for them is the most capable person.”
