Chapter 172: Two Top Lawyers
Translator: End Less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xeno was Gabriel’s personal lawyer and his law firm was Zephyr’s Group legal team. Caleb had briefed him when they walked into the police station and Xeno was shocked by what he heard.
Perhaps what was more surprising to Xeno was that Gabriel had come personally. Although he did not enter with them, he was present nonetheless.
This newly-arrived lawyer Xeno Zaccardi had been staring at her the moment he stepped foot into the room. Serenity knew that she was in a sorry state at the moment but wasn’t this person being too ungentlemanly to stare at her this much? She hung her head in embarrassment.
When Serenity turned away quickly, Xeno immediately realized that he had been staring at her for a little too long. He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. “Miss Serenity, I need to understand the general situation.”
Serenity nodded.
Then, there came another knock on the door. Everyone looked up to see a tall American man standing in the doorway.
Xeno looked at the American man with surprise. “Michael?”
The American man’s eyes lit up and he spoke fluently in Cador’s native language. “Lawyer Zaccardi, didn’t you say you are busy tonight? Why are you here at the police station?”
The two of them had just been having dinner together earlier when Caleb and Gabriel picked Xeno up. They definitely did not expect to meet again at the police station less than an hour after parting. The world was too small. “I just took over a case and came to look for the client. What about you?”
Michael looked around the interrogation room and his gaze landed on the only woman in the room. He stepped forward and extended a hand to Serenity. “Hello, Miss Serenity. I’m your lawyer, Michael.”
The American man named Michael was probably the lawyer Robin had contacted for her. She reached out her hand and said, “Hello, I’m Serenity. I’ve troubled you to make this trip.”
Michael kissed the back of her fair and smooth hand, a common American etiquette of greeting. Serenity was familiar with their customs so she did not reject or recoil.
“I’m also ATiss Serenity’s lawyer.” Xeno was trying to figure out how this woman could have called Michael.
Michael looked at Serenity with surprise and then at Xeno.”What a coincidence. Shall we work together?”
Xeno smiled knowingly. “That’s exactly what 1 thought.”
The police officers were shocked. Why did Serenity suddenly have two lawyers? And one of them was an American.
When President Linde’s lawyer heard Michael’s name, his face turned even paler than before. Among these people, only he and Xeno knew that Michael was the best among the top ten lawyers in the United States.
Michael was in Andalas for a lawyer’s conference and President Linde’s lawyer had just heard the American’s lecture two days ago, and it was wonderful.
President Linde’s lawyer did not recognize Michael at first because he was seated on the other far end of the interrogation room.
Even though Serenity had indeed violated traffic rules in this car accident, with Xeno around, the odds of winning were already slim. Now’ that Michael was also involved, there was no point in pursuing a lawsuit. The outcome was already decided.
President Linde’s lawyer wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and looked at his client. “You should hire someone else for this lawsuit. I’m not qualified. On second thought, there’s no point contacting any other lawyers. I don’t think anyone would dare take your case.”
It was true. Xeno alone was already bad enough. With Michael in the same picture, who would be so foolish as to go up against either, let alone both of them?
When President Linde saw’ Caleb earlier, he had already guessed the relationship between Serenity and Gabriel. Although he could not confirm his suspicions, he knew better than to mess with her moving forward.
And now that he had heard his lawyer’s words, he could only swallow his anger despite the embarrassment he felt. He looked at Serenity and coldly said, “Miss Serenity, please don’t pester me anymore.”
With that, President Linde stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and walked out of the interrogation room.
President Linde’s lawyer told Xeno and Michael, “We’re withdrawing the lawsuit..”
