Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



Looking at the little balance which was likely to last only a week, Lauren couldn't help but pulled her hair in annoyance. If she did not prove her innocence quickly, she would be broke soon!

In the past, she always felt that as long as she was equipped with a skill, she would never starve to death. Even at the moment when she took responsibility for Zedd, Lauren never thought that the reality would be so cruel. She had just been in prison for a short period of time, but life had already starting shutting doors on her. She couldn't imagine what she would become if she really only came out after a few years!

She wasn't sure about whether she could still keep up with the society, but it would be impossible for her to keep a decent job and return to her old

career.

Society was not as lenient as she imagined.

At present, she could not even stand on the podium of University of Casterwich City at all. In the past, many private schools offered high remuneration to ask her to be their part-time lecturer, and a lot of the requests were so simple that she only needed to give an extracurricular tutoring for a week. However, it was extremely difficult then for her to even replace a session in a private tutoring class!

Currently, every child was viewed as the treasure of the family. Even if it was just an extracurricular tutor, they couldn't accept a teacher with a blot in her reputation!

Even though the incident at the laboratory was just an accident caused by a mistake, and it did not involve any so-called moral or professional issues, it did not change the perception.

She hated to deceit the most. Therefore, after offering home tutoring to many families, then only she met Carney who was willing to accept her, even though she knew very well that the real reason why many parents rejected her was because she was too young and looked a little beautiful. Other than doubting her

professionalism, it was also out of consideration for the safety of their family. However, one thing for sure was that her mistake, had become her fatal flaw to be used as their excuses!

Once again, Lauren felt how cruel the world could be. People who had criminal records would inevitably be judged.

She was sad, but she did not have the right to complain.

"No, I can't let it beat me, I still have to find a way to make money!" Lauren put away her cell phone, and packed her bag. The only thing she could do then was to do part time jobs besides asking for money from others.

At that time, in the lawyer's office, Zedd flung his hand in irritation and said,

"Confessing? If I have to confess in order to reduce my sentence, do I still need to hire you? Also, I am now restricted from leaving the country! I have already gotten my visa, but I am now stopped from leaving the country when I'm about to go abroad! Is there any way to solve this?"

At the moment, he could not leave even if he wanted to, and he was even listed as one of the suspects, waiting for the next hearing! More importantly, he had already thought of various excuses to delay the hearing, but there was still no solution, and it was impossible to delay the hearing forever!

"Mr. Michaels, this is a serious

assault charge. Even if we don't look at it subjectively, it has already been categorized as a criminal case! Due to the previous confession and good compensatory attitude, the judge had reduced the sentence considerably! However, the situation now is completely different. The party retracted her confession and filed an appeal. No matter who wins or loses in the end, it will still be a lose-lose situation. If one party is to be held accountable, the other party will be also be suspected of perjury. Normally, legal action will then be pursued, and it would just be a matter of how to pursue, and to what extent. They all depend on the final development of the case. Now, the key point is that you both are the suspects who are the only defendants. This is what you can each rely on, and also your advantages. In other words, the

judge will believe you and her

equally. If there is no more credible

evidence, you will be at an

advantage. However, if there is any

conclusive evidence that was

provided, and if it was something that we have not gotten hold of, your sentence may be even more serious than what we have now! There is also a crucial point that might make the two of you fight in court. At that time, any mistake will be seized by the other party's lawyer. There is another piece of even more unfortunate news. It is said that her acting lawyer for this case is the number one expert in Casterwich City, Noah Lambert!" The lawyer said.

"What?"

Zedd screamed in shock and his face also turned pale.

"Noah from the top DNO law firm? Why would he accept such a small case?" Zedd asked.

How could it be possible? The person whom he could not meet even though he paid five million dollars, actually went to help Lauren! It was simply too absurd!

"I heard that he seems to be particularly good at criminal lawsuits. Basically, he has never lost a case. Is that true?" Zedd asked again.

The lawyer nodded and sighed,

"That's right, he has never lost! You

may not be familiar with the legal field, so you might not know much. In the legal field, there are two well-known lawyer families which have held their names high up for decades. 'The Black & White' refers to to the elder generations of the Black Group and the Lambert Group. There are many myths about these two families. The most famous one would be the one regarding White Lambert and Haward Black from more than 20 years ago. It was said that they were once friends, but later, for some reasons, they were separated. The Lambert Group became well-known in the circle of rich people after engaging in many commercial lawsuits. Meanwhile, Haward was invincible. No matter how difficult the cases were, he was bound to win them. As he

accidentally took on a case defending a leader of a sinister gang

and won over a hundred million

dollars, he became very famous. These two were almost unbeatable, thus they were known as 'the Black & White' in the legal field. Many dark forces fought for Haward because of this, and therefore he faced greater risks. I don't know what happened to him, but it seems that he had quit his job and disappeared over the years! In my opinion, Haward might be better than White based on the situation at that time! Therefore, many people in this field dream of watching the lawyers of these two families fighting in a lawsuit! Anyway, it's just wishful thinking now!"

As he finished speaking, the lawyer tapped his forehead and said,

"Look at me! I can't stop once I start talking about this! The two brothers, Noah and Harrison Lambert of DNO law firm are both White's sons. Noah

et

works on litigation cases, while Harrison is mainly in charge of non-litigation cases. The two ofè them together are invincible. Many people say that Harrison resembles Haward! Furthermore, he indeed became even better than him, but no one can tell what the reabsituation is like. The DNO of Lambert Group is

made up of 'Double' and 'Number One'. These two people are like gods, and it is impossible for ordinary people to hire them!

Therefore, this lawsuit is getting very troublesome this time! The

strangest thing is that there are many rumors saying that Noah may

even fight the case personally this time!"

Until then, the lawyer still couldn't believe it! However, if it was really going to be him him, it would just be his luck. It was not humiliating to lose, but it would be a fatal blow to Zedd. That was because the final result of the lawsuit would very likely depend on Noah's mood. If he was in a good mood,

his sentence would be lighter. If he was in a bad mood, he would suffer badly even if he was innocent. However, it was clear that the two defendants

hated one another.

"Then, am I going to jail for sure? Is there no other way?" Zedd asked.

Panicking, Zedd broke out in cold sweat. The lawyer shook his head and said earnestly,

"I won't do anything to harm your case! The best way at present is to keep status quo, and hopefully the plaintiff doesn't retract her confession! This requires you to discuss with her and reach an agreement privately. At that time, both parties can plead to help her to reduce her sentence as well. Otherwise, all the evidence will crush you even more....."
