Help Me Find a Lawyer
Demi looked at Helen helplessly. “Mom…”
“Demi, you can get out of the house with her if you talk to her anymore!” James roared. “And Liam, if you
try to help her, you can get out as well! I’ll find some other guy to take over the role as general manager
of the construction company!” Upon hearing James’s words, both Liam and Demi hurried into the house
—they no longer dared to linger around outside.
Jonah and his family were about to enter the house and protest when a group of security guards rushed
in and chased all of them out. Helen, on the other hand, was about to let herself into the house when
James rushed to her with a kitchen knife in his hand. She let out a shriek before she turned and ran off.
She no longer dared to step foot into the house after that.
Tears quietly trickled down Helen’s cheeks as she stood outside the Grand Garden. I had never
expected things to turn out like this. My biological sister is suing me, my husband doesn’t allow me into
the house, and my daughter isn’t offering me any help! I’ve never felt so helpless in my life! After a long
while of silence, Helen finally left the front porch of the house. She didn’t have a choice at that point—
she had to go to Sasha for help.
When Helen arrived at the office, Matthew was sitting around in Sasha’s room.
Sasha was signing a few documents when she caught sight of Helen walking in with her red-rimmed
eyes. Her face darkened immediately. “Don’t you dare utter a word if you’re trying to convince me to find
a lawyer for Tate, Mom! I’ve told you this before—I’m never going to agree to it!” she uttered without any
hesitation.
Helen let out a long sigh. “Tate doesn’t need a lawyer, Sasha. C-Can you help me find a lawyer instead?”
she croaked.
Matthew was shocked to hear this. “Why do you need a lawyer, Mom? What happened?”
Helen told them everything that had happened at home before she eyed them helplessly. Both Matthew
and Sasha were utterly speechless after they heard the whole story. “How did things get to this point,
Mom? What’s the truth behind the money?” Matthew asked.
Helen sighed once more. She knew that she couldn’t conceal the truth any longer, so she told them
about the whole incident.
“Hold on. Did you just say that Minerva’s boyfriend’s name is Peter?” Matthew asked out of nowhere.
Helen nodded. “Yeah. Why?”
Both Matthew and Sasha exchanged a look. They both had the same person in mind—Penny’s previous
fiancé. Penny’s fiancé was Peter as well, and they wondered if it was the same person.
“I truly regret not listening to you, Sasha.” Helen heaved a sigh. “I hadn’t expected Minerva to tell so
many lies, you know? I didn’t ask for an acknowledgment of debt since she’s my niece. I can’t believe…
she’s doing this to me now. Ah, how could she be such a horrible person?”
“I’ve given you the same advice multiple times, Mom. You just didn’t listen to it! Do you regret your
actions now? If you had listened to me earlier, if you managed to get them to stop Tate, then all of this
wouldn’t have happened!” Sasha said exasperatedly.
Helen buried her face in her hands as she began to cry. “What am I supposed to do now, Sasha? Your
Aunt Chloe is bringing this to court, and I… Will this matter get out of our hands?”
Matthew shook his head. “This isn’t that big of a deal, Mom. You were the one who gave them the
money, but you have no control over how they spend it. They are all past the age of 18, and they are no
longer children. Why should you take responsibility for anything?”
“Are you sure?” Helen stared at him, wide-eyed.
Matthew smiled. “Of course. However, it’d be more helpful for your case if you have proof that they asked
you to lend them the money.”
A rather awkward expression formed on Helen’s face. “I… I don’t have the acknowledgment of debt. How
am I supposed to prove that I only lent them the money?”
“You don’t necessarily need an acknowledgment of debt to prove anything. You have the actual bank
transfer records, and you could get some witnesses to speak for you. That would be enough. If we
manage to find Peter, everything will be a lot easier!”
