Chapter 805

Can You Talk to Mr Manning Again, Matthew?

Demi was the first one who started laughing. “Hey! Nicely done, Aunt Chloe. At that time, what was it that
you guys said? Oh, I remember now. You claimed that Mr. Manning partnered with Matthew to plot a
swindle! Tsk. How ungrateful you guys are!”

Chloe’s face reddened while Minerva, with her head lowered, was too embarrassed to say a word.

Awkwardly, Jonah asked in a low voice, “Mr. Lowry, i-is it possible to lower the amount further? 3
million… i-is just too much.”

Immediately, Justin waved his hand. “This is the lowest I could get. You can hire another lawyer if
you’re not satisfied with it, but before that, please pay my commission first.”

Minerva retorted immediately, “You didn’t even settle the matter. You have no right to ask for the
commission!”

Justin smiled coldly, “Miss, I don’t think you’re familiar with the law. Regardless of whether the matter is
settled, I have the obligation to charge you guys a consultation fee. Secondly, I’ve been running around
the whole day, so a service fee will be charged for that too. Moreover, it isn’t that I didn’t complete the
task. I’ve already helped you to negotiate with the other party but you are reluctant to pay the price, so
this has got nothing to do with me. I hope you’ll transfer the full amount of commission to my bank
account as soon as possible. After all, I’m not as easygoing as Mr. Manning. I’ve never seen someone
who dared to stall off a lawyer!”

With that, Justin stood up directly. “Ladies and gentleman, if there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”

After watching Justin leave, Minerva muttered in a low voice, “What an arrogant man! He’s just a broke
lawyer. How dare he be this haughty! Don’t transfer the commission to him, Dad. I’d like to see what he
can do about that!”



Jonah quickly shook his head. “Stop saying nonsense. I can be sent to prison too if I default on the legal
fee payment.”



Minerva was shocked. “I-Is it that serious?”

Demi sneered, “How pathetic is it to have not received a proper education. Didn’t you guys learn about
the law when you all were studying abroad? You don’t even have basic common sense.”

Minerva’s face flamed with anger, but she couldn’t retort Demi.

Chloe looked toward Helen in resignation. “Helen, the commission…”

Helen said immediately, “It’s okay. I already told you I’ll pay for it.”

“How much is it?”

Jonah answered, “20 thousand.”

Helen’s eyes widened. “What?! 20 thousand? He has only been running around for one day and he’s
charging us 20 thousand?”

Jonah said awkwardly, “He’s a famous lawyer there. It isn’t easy to hire him, and I only managed to hire
him thanks to my boss’ connection. An ordinary person might not even be able to hire him with 50
thousand.”

Helen was dumbfounded as she thought it would only cost a few thousand.

Little did she expect that it would cost 20 thousand although the lawyer had not done much. However,
since she had promised it, she could only pay up.



“What should we do now? Please save Tate, Helen,” Chloe said in anguish.

With a resigned look, Helen actually regretted what she had said earlier.

If she had known that Craig was so capable, she would have listened to him and paid the 1.6 million.

Helen asked tentatively, “Sasha, can you—”

Sasha waved her hand. “Save your words. I’ll only fork out 1.6 million. We wrote a receipt last night and I
won’t pay a penny more than what I’ve already paid!”

Helen was annoyed. “I-I’m not referring to the money matter. I was about to ask i-if you can possibly ask
Matthew to talk to Mr. Manning again. It seems like Mr. Manning is pretty close to Matthew.”

Chloe’s eyes lit up. “You’re right! Matthew, can you go talk to Mr. Manning? You might save us 1.4
million. It’s a huge amount!”
