Find Him a Lawyer
Sasha was about to peel an apple for her mother, but she threw the apple aside the moment she heard
what her mother said. “I’m not going to get involved in this, Mom! You can do whatever you want—I don’t
care. But listen closely—don’t you dare use Matthew’s name or mine to hire a lawyer! We refuse to
engage in such immoral and heartless acts!” Sasha stormed off after finishing her words.
Meanwhile, Helen stared into space with a furious look on her face. “How… How am I being heartless?
Those people are all dead; shouldn’t we focus on those who are alive first? Am I right, Demi?”
Demi stuck her bottom lip out. “I don’t care if you’re right or wrong. Either way, this has got nothing to do
with me! I’m not a part of this, so don’t ask or look for me regarding this matter!”
At this point, Helen was starting to feel rather anxious. “H-How could you say such a thing, Demi?
What am I supposed to do if both you and Sasha refuse to help me? Why don’t you ask Liam to find
me a good lawyer, huh?”
“You can forget about it!” Demi cried as she gave Helen a dismissive wave. “Are you trying to ask us to
do such inhumane and heartless things because Sasha refuses to do it? What’s going on with you,
Mom? Can’t you tell between right and wrong? Your nephew killed four people—are you still trying to
help him at a time like this? What about those victims? What about their families? This is such an
inhumane thing to do!”
After that, Helen kept her mouth shut for a while. “That’s my nephew, your Aunt Chloe’s son… Not to
mention Chloe had been so kind to us in the past…” she eventually muttered.
Demi couldn’t be bothered to speak to Helen anymore. She simply pretended as if she couldn’t hear
Helen.
Helen insisted on leaving the hospital that afternoon. She hailed a cab and traveled around to a few law
firms in search of someone who could act as Tate’s lawyer. However, after visiting nearly all of the law
firms in Eastcliff, there wasn’t a single person who was willing to take the case. Maybe what I’m asking
for is too much, Helen thought. I’m requesting for someone to argue that Tate is innocent, but who could
possibly do that?
In the end, Helen decided to lower her standards. She stated that she would be fine with a maximum of
one year in prison for Tate. The second time she visited the firms, most of the places chased her out of
their offices. These lawyers weren’t idiots—who’d dare to take a case like this? Anyone who attempted to
argue for Tate’s innocence might also be ruining the rest of their career! Thus, Helen didn’t get anything
after an entire day of running around.
That night, Helen had no choice but to return to the Grand Garden empty-handed. She saw Jonah,
Chloe, and Minerva standing on the porch the moment she walked in. James, Demi, and Liam were
standing right in front of the other family.
“What brings you guys here, Chloe? Why don’t you come in and sit?” Helen immediately welcomed
them. However, James charged toward Helen the moment he saw her. Smack! Helen felt James’s palm
striking her cheek. “F*ck off! Get out of here now! From today onward, we, the Cunninghams, have
nothing to do with you at all!” James roared like a lion.
“W-What are you doing, James?” Helen was stunned. “What did I do?”
Demi let out a sigh. “The Campbells are taking you to court!”
Helen widened her eyes. “Why? What happened, Chloe?”
“They are claiming that you gave Tate money to purchase a bike, although you knew that he didn’t have
a license. They expect you to be responsible for this entire matter!” Demi uttered.
Helen’s eyeballs looked like they were about to fall out of their sockets. She had never imagined such a
thing happening to her. I can’t believe I’m going to court because my sister sued me! “H-How could you
say such a thing, Chloe?” Helen was starting to panic.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Chloe hissed. “My son doesn’t have a license, and he’s still a child who
doesn’t have any self-control. You were obviously harming him by giving him so much money all at once.
You didn’t tell us about giving him the money, and he ended up purchasing a bike and getting into an
accident. Don’t you think you need to bear all responsibilities here?”
