Chapter 275 Danna Receives Summons From The Court

When Arissa came to her senses, she realized that she had wolfed down more than half a portion of the food.

She stole a glance at Benjamin and thought of asking if he would like to have some. Right that instant, someone

opened the door abruptly.

The next second, Jonathan stepped into the ward with a briefcase. Wearing a solemn look, he was dressed in a

black suit with his hair slicked back neatly.

Scrutinizing him from head to toe, Arissa could not resist admiring the man inwardly. Now that’s how a lawyer

should look!

Sensing someone gazing at him, Jonathan turned instinctively. When a woman came into view, he was stunned

momentarily. Is she Gavin’s mother?

He nodded at Arissa and greeted, “Nice to meet you.”

“Nice to meet you too,” Arissa responded and curled up on the couch again. My goodness! This man is as stiff as a

commander!

Benjamin flashed him a glance and asked, “Are you confident with it?”

Jonathan took out a document. “Yes. I need you to sign this letter of authorization.”

After he went back the previous morning, he had spent time going through the case and managed to find a way

out.

Thus, he brought the letter of authorization for Benjamin to sign before the submission of the application for

judgment. The latter took the pen to sign on the document as requested.

Jonathan glanced at him and asked tactfully, “Is she Gavin’s mother?”

“Yes,” Benjamin replied briefly without looking up at him.

Jonathan proceeded to take out another copy of the document right away. “Then I’ll need her signature for this

document too.”

“Arissa, come here,” Benjamin called out at once.

Arissa’s lips twitched at the man’s commanding tone before asking, “What’s the matter, Mr. Graham?”

Benjamin shot her a glance and handed her the pen.

Jonathan handed her the document as well. “Ms. York, since you’re the victim of the case and one of the plaintiffs,

I’ll need your signature for this letter of authorization.”



“Oh, sure.” Arissa took the document from him. After taking a look at it, she signed in the related section and asked

curiously, “Will Danna be sentenced to life imprisonment?”

“I’ll fight for that by all means,” Jonathan responded resolutely.

After getting to the bottom of the case, he was now in awe of Arissa. Apart from hiding herself from Danna, she

had brought Gavin’s younger brothers up painstakingly throughout the years.

Moments later, Jonathan put the signed documents back into his briefcase. Only then did he ask Benjamin in great

concern, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Allergies.” Feeling awkward, Benjamin was reluctant to explain in detail.

Jonathan nodded. “Have a good rest then. I have to go and submit the application for judgment to the court now. In

the meantime, I’ll also try to gather as much evidence as possible.”

“Okay. Just let me know if you need anything. Since Jack is back, you can assign him some tasks too,” Benjamin

reminded him.

“Got it.” Jonathan nodded and left after waving at Arissa.

“So, he’s Jonathan Patterson?” She double confirmed with Benjamin out of curiosity.

Earlier on, she had a hunch that she must have seen Jonathan somewhere before. After browsing through the site

of The Advocates’ Association, she finally realized his identity.

He was deemed the top-notch lawyer nationwide and could hardly be defeated by his peers in the court. So far,

there weren’t any cases that he could not handle. On top of that, he was well known overseas too. In fact, she had

heard about him while still overseas.

Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin gazed at her. “Yes. Do you know him?”

She looked at him and replied casually, “No, I don’t know him. But I’ve heard of his name before.”

Benjamin nodded and continued to bury himself in his work again.

Meanwhile, after finding out that Jonathan would be handling the case, Arissa felt relieved.

A few hours later, Danna and the Adams family received the summons from the court simultaneously. Danna was

sent into a tizzy in an instant.

She was charged with kidnapping, unlawful house arrest, attempted murder, human trafficking, and others.

Panicking, she noticed that Benjamin and Arissa’s names were in the plaintiff section.

“How is that possible? How could he sue me?” Danna wailed as she stared apprehensively at the names. The

document soon crumpled in her clenched fists.

“This is impossible! Benjamin will never do this to me! You must have made a mistake!” she bellowed at the officers;

her eyes flared with utter frenzy.



One of the officers yelled at her, “Silence! Your father has assigned you a lawyer. Do you want to meet him?”

“I want to see Benjamin now!” she shrieked indignantly.

At that moment, all she wanted was to see Benjamin so that she could ask him why he was so hard-hearted toward

her. He should be grateful to me as I was the one who brought Gavin back to him! How could he join hands with

Arissa in taking me to court? Besides, that despicable woman and her illegitimate children are still safe and sound.

Since I did not commit a grievous deed, how could they sue me?
