After Having a Dream, I Became Pregnant with a Billionaire's Child-Chapter 259 - 254 Emily Parker’s Connections
Chapter 259: Chapter 254 Emily Parker’s Connections
Facing Mrs. Bennet’s threats, Emily smiled indifferently, with an air of calm and composure.
She stood there quietly, her gaze calmly fixed on Mrs. Bennet and the lawyer behind her, watching intently.
Behind Emily, Oliver Ross looked solemn, worry evident in his eyes.
He reminded Emily,
"Boss, these people came prepared.
Should we contact Mrs. Carter?"
Oliver was genuinely worried that Emily would suffer losses, especially since they couldn’t directly use the Carter Clan’s lawyer team and could only have Mrs. Carter intervene.
"No need, our lawyer is already on the way."
Emily lightly shook her head, her gaze resolute and her tone steady, as if everything was under her control.
On the side, Doctor Bennet wore a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain.
He crossed his arms, slightly raising his chin, and derided,
"Emily Parker, stop pretending. I heard a long time ago that after Carlos was ousted from the Carter Clan’s board, he could no longer use their lawyer team like before.
You’re just a little nurse; there’s no way you know any renowned lawyers.
I advise you to obediently apologize to my aunt to avoid both you and your husband ending up in jail."
Doctor Bennet knew very well that the Carter Clan was now controlled by Uncle Fisher, who disliked Carlos, the prodigal son, a fact long known by the Capital’s upper circles.
Therefore, Mrs. Bennet and the Bennet family dared to mock Emily so wantonly and suppress Carlos.
"I’ll say it again; our lawyer is already on the way."
Emily repeated, her eyes calmly fixed on Doctor Bennet, unaffected by his words.
Meanwhile, the Bennet family’s lawyer completed the bail procedures.
"Mom, why are you only coming now? I’ve been waiting for hours.
Carlos beat us badly this time. No matter what, I’m going to sue him."
Bennet Jr. appeared with disheveled hair, a swollen forehead, and some bruises on his face, walking with a limp, grumbling angrily as he came out.
Seeing her precious son beaten like this, Mrs. Bennet trembled with anger.
She comforted her son tenderly, her eyes fierce, and ordered her lawyer harshly,
"Look at what Carlos did to my son; I want to sue him for intentional injury.
A criminal like him shouldn’t be granted bail at all."
Saying this, Mrs. Bennet, slightly plump, intentionally bumped into Emily.
Oliver Ross swiftly reacted, showing a tense expression as he hurriedly protected Emily with his hands.
"Oh my!" Mrs. Bennet took advantage of the situation and sat down on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, a sly look flashing in her eyes.
"You dare to hit my mom!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Bennet Jr., eyes glaring wide with anger, flipped Oliver over with one move. Oliver stumbled and fell, showing a pained expression.
Emily frowned, reaching out to grasp Bennet Jr.’s shoulder.
Bennet Jr., half a head taller than Emily, instantly showed a painful expression when Emily gripped his shoulder, unable to move, feeling like his arm could be dislocated, he cried out in pain.
"You vixen, let go of my son!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Bennet forgot about her feigned injury and quickly got up, face full of anxiousness, trying to push Emily.
Emily raised her eyebrows, her cold gaze like a knife falling on Mrs. Bennet, making her scalp tingle, causing her to involuntarily take a step back.
"Lady, if you don’t release my client right now, I will sue you for intentional injury."
The Bennet family’s lawyer hurriedly squeezed in, his face stern, as amidst the chaos someone shouted sternly,
"Who’s threatening to sue my client?"
At that moment, a rather stern and steady voice came over.
A middle-aged lawyer, about in his 40s, entered with a severe expression.
He wore a well-tailored dark suit, making him look upright.
He held his phone steadily, recording everything that had just transpired.
"Attorney Shaw?"
The previously arrogant Bennet family lawyer turned pale with panic upon seeing the middle-aged lawyer, now looking quite alarmed.
Cedric Shaw, Capital’s top lawyer, and reputedly the most difficult lawyer to hire in the entire Sinovia. He had never lost a case he took on.
"Attorney Shaw, I’ll leave these people to you."
Emily finally let go, her expression remaining calm and composed.
Bennet Jr. grimaced in pain, his arm hanging weakly, with a pained expression on his face.
"What are you standing there for? Sue them!"
Mrs. Bennet still acted arrogantly, with her hands on her hips, full of anger and reluctance.
"Madam, that’s Cedric Shaw. Just now, he recorded a video; we probably have no grounds."
The Bennet family’s lawyer sweated nervously, his voice trembling slightly, his eyes full of worry, frequently glancing at Cedric Shaw.
"Cedric Shaw? The infamous undefeated Cedric Shaw from the North?"
Doctor Bennet was previously smug, wearing a mocking smile, eyes full of disdain towards Emily.
But now, his face was all shock, his eyes wide, his mouth slightly open, stunned.
He couldn’t believe it, staring at the imposing man in front of him, then back at the calm Emily.
When Emily previously said her lawyer was on the way, Doctor Bennet secretly scoffed, thinking she had hired some insignificant lawyer, easily dismissed.
But unexpectedly, she had hired the renowned Cedric Shaw.
Cedric Shaw was internationally celebrated, with widespread fame.
Doctor Bennet remembered clearly how his esteemed teacher, Doctor Reed, had tried to hire Shaw as a legal consultant for the Love & Kindness Hospital at a high price but was flatly rejected.
Yet here was this revered and highly positioned lawyer intervening for what seemed like an ordinary nurse?
Doctor Bennet was filled with doubt, standing there, unable to speak for a moment.
Cedric Shaw held a file bag, containing the bar’s surveillance footage.
Smoothly handling procedures, he turned to negotiate details with the Bennet family’s lawyer.
"Emily, the bail process is all sorted."
Cedric Shaw smiled warmly, having settled everything within half an hour.
"Boss, you know Cedric Shaw?"
Oliver Ross’s eyes were wide with surprise and disbelief; he never expected the matter to resolve so easily, looking at Emily with admiration.
"I have some connections." Emily smiled gently, her eyes curling, a hint of indifference in her gaze.
In fact, her connection with Cedric Shaw was ordinary; she was more familiar with his daughter...
