Chapter 683
Trisha swatted his hand away and glared at him, “I heard some people can grow two centimeters taller after giving birth. I haven’t had a kid yet; I bet I will still grow
Nicolas raised an eyebrow, “Get real, Trisha. The reason people grow taller after giving birth is due to bone expansion. You’re still kiddo; how on earth would you have bone expansion?”
Trisha was about to snap back, but when he called her “kiddo“, she instantly forgave his faux pas
Nicolas looked up at Mason, “Ramsey and his wife are no walk in the park. Why the hell did you take this case?”
Slicing his steak, Mason replied, “No choice, she’s paying me a fortune.”
Nicolas snorted, “Are you short on cash?”
Ramsey was no saint, and his wife wasn’t any better.
This conniving couple was always up to no good, often sending young female employees from their company to their business partners‘ beds.
A few years back, someone sued them, accused them of drugging and raping people. But the case was lost when the witness backed out in court. The girl disappeared later, and it created quite a storm.
But the internet has a short memory, two years later, all the negative press was gone.
Ramsey’s business was even bigger than before.
Now, this wicked couple was getting divorced.
Mason chuckled. “The bigger the lawsuit, the higher our firm’s reputation. I wish all cases were like this.”
Seeing Trisha finished her steak, Nicolas gave her the half he had left.
This isn’t like you. You wouldn’t touch cases like these in the past.”
Mason said, “I was young back then, always wanted to do the right thing. Now, as you said, making money is more important.”
Nicolas laughed, “You gotta be loaded to dream big, right?”
Trisha huffed, “So worldly“”
Nicolas glanced at her. “Doctors aren’t worldly, they save lives without salary, filling their stomachs with wind?”
Trisha frowned, “Why bring up Dr. Ledford?”
Nicolas sipped his water, keeping a poker face, “Did I mention him?”
Trisha was about to retort, but Nicolas beat her to it, “Still want me to pick up the check?”
Trisha swallowed what she was about to say and forced a smile, “You’re right, Nicolas. You’re not worldly at all.”
Nicolas finally eased up.
He grabbed his phone, sneakily snapped a photo of Celeste, who was eating, and sent it to Liam.
Pay for your wife’s meal later.
Liam was having dinner with a client and didn’t check Nicolas‘ message immediately.
When his client went to the restroom, he picked up his phone.
He opened the photo and saw Celeste eating at the dining table, having a set meal that he often ordered.
His eyes softened a bit. He was about to make the transfer when he stopped.
On the photo’s left was a man’s hand with a quartz watch on his wrist. The watch face was pale gold with an eagle engraved on it.
Mason’s family provided a custom gift for Mason for his coming of age.
Liam’s face suddenly darkened, his lips pressed tightly together.
Nicolas waited a long time, but Liam didn’t transfer any money.
How could that be? Liam’s a love–at–first–sight kind of guy. He should have transferred the money when he saw Celeste, right?
