Chapter 383
Wynn started the car, and the white Rolls-Royce slowly made its way out of the underground parking garage.
“Mr. Gomez, I’m now heading to the hospital to talk. Is now a good time for you?” Tessa asked.
Matthew hesitated for quite some time before he said, “Come on over.”
“Also, could you ensure that there aren’t any unrelated people there,” Tessa added. It was obvious that she was referring to Yanis and Zachary.noveldrama
She did not want to be disturbed during their discussion.
With a low voice, Matthew murmured, “I got it.”
A quick 20 minutes later, Tessa entered Matthew’s hospital ward, while Wynn followed behind.
“Hello, Mr. Gomez,” Tessa greeted with a bright smile.
However, Matthew would not even force a smile out for the sake of appearances.
His company had gone bankrupt, his personal life was a mess, and his health had been deteriorating. Not to mention, Yanis would come to the hospital every day to argue with him.
He felt stressed and overwhelmed, and the number of white hairs on his head and wrinkles on his face had increased greatly.
Matthew asked coldly, “There are so many lawyers in Rivertown, so why should I choose you?”
Smiling, Tessa answered, “There are a lot of lawyers in Rivertown, but none of them is the Yates family’s heiress. Your family has gone bankrupt.
“As far as I know, Mrs. Gomez has hired Felicia Jenkins, a lawyer from Shelton Law Firm, to represent her. She has only paid Ms. Jenkins eight thousand dollars because she isn’t able to come up with any more money. I’m guessing you’re on the same boat as her, aren’t you?”
Matthew remained silent, his expression cold.
Legal fees were typically calculated by the value of the case.
Their family had gone bankrupt, and all of their assets had been seized by the court. Those assets did not belong to them anymore, so there were barely any marital assets left to split. Hence, the legal fees would not be too high.
However, eight thousand dollars was still a lot for them. It was roughly equivalent to the sum of rent and living expenses for a month.
Matthew was practically dirt broke now, so how could he possibly have the money to hire a lawyer?
Tessa continued to smile as she added, “Mr. Gomez, not many lawyers would be willing to accept a small case like yours.
“Even if you refuse and remain
adamant on looking for another
lawyer, as long as I give all the other
law firms a heads up, do you think therell be a lawyer in Rivertown who’s willing to take your case?”
Matthew believed her. After all, Tessa wasn’t just a lawyer. She was also the
daughter of Samuel Yates, the wealthiest man in Rivertown.
If those other law firms listened to her, they’d be able to reap the benefits of the Yates family. No matter how one saw it, siding with Tessa would be much better than accepting his divorce case
Even an idiot would know which side to be on.
After contemplating his situation, Matthew said, “Fine. I’ll hire you to represent me during the lawsuit, but you need to do your best and ensure that the court will rule against the divorce.”
Tessa smirked and said, “Rest assured.”
After her abortion, Wendy spent some time recuperating at home. Her trial for defamation against Tessa and inciting her fans to cyberbully Tessa was now in the second phase.
The Rivertowns state appellate court had not yet set a date for the court hearing.
Since there was no way that Gomez Corporation could make a comeback, Wendy made up her mind on her next step.
She rekindled her relationship with a wealthy playboy from her old social circle who had feelings for her. Then, she asked him to help her leave the country.
