Sweet Divorce

Chapter 173 Disappointment on Grandma

A law firm on the verge of bankruptcy.

In a small and cramped office.

Rose looked at the lawyer, Stefan Turner, who was wearing a cheap suit, with a trace of disgust in her eyes.

She kept a smile on her face, but when Stefan went to make tea, she glanced at Mason and whispered, “This is the lawyer you’ve mentioned that day? Will it work?”

"Regular lawyers will definitely not handle this kind of thing, and they will be very popular. If our plan is discovered by the stupid girl Rita, wouldn’t our efforts be put to waste?”

Reminded by Mason, Rose reluctantly accepted Stefan.

“Mr. Brown, Mrs. Brown, please have tea.” Stefan smiled and handed two cups of green tea to them, and then sat down on the opposite side. “May I know what legal problem you have encountered?”

“We just need you to bring a word to my daughter as an attorney.” Rose said as she took out a bank card from her branded bag and waved it in front of Stefan, “After the completion, the lawyer’s fee would be $200,000.”

Stefan was stunned when he heard the $200,000, and there was light in his eyes when he looked at the card.

Two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand! All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

This was comparable to what he had earned in the year before.

Stefan smiled more flatteringly at Rose and Mason when he thought of that, “May I know what message you would want me to pass?”

“It’s very simple. Tell her if she has an upset stomach, remember to speak up earlier, and her parents would apply for parole for her medical treatment.”

If ordinary people heard Rose’s remarks, they would not feel that there was anything wrong, but Stefan, who was a lawyer, have heard the clue.

How is this exhortation? This was clearly a hint.

It implied that if Charlotte applied for medical parole due to a medical condition, and then took this opportunity to take advantage of the legal loopholes.

Stefan looked through the schemes of Mason and his wife but did not reveal it.

The industry had been down recently, and he was almost unable to survive anymore.

He originally planned to close the office and return to his hometown next month, but he didn’t expect such a big order.

Anyway, it’s not illegal to just carry a few words, might as well earn some money at the same time.

Stefan became calmer when he thought of it, “Is that all?”

“Yes, that’s all.” Rose nodded, “I wonder if Mr. Turner would like to pick this up?”

“Yes, of course!”

Stefan nodded as he looked at the bank card on the table.

Rose was relieved when he saw the money minded.

Now both Charlotte and her reputation are saved.

She happily pushed the bank card in front of Stefan, “Here is a deposit of $100,000. We will pay the balance when you pass the message.”

“Good... good.”

After they negotiated and signed an employment contract, Stefan followed Rose and Mason to the detention center.

At the same time, outside the detention center.

Rita stood there, staring at the traffic in front of her as if she was waiting for someone.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes.

Half an hour.

Squeak!

Accompanied by the harsh brakes, a black luxury car stopped in front of her.

She looked at the familiar license plate number, Rita’s eyes flickered slightly and became colder.

Sure enough, they came.

She glanced at a few people faintly, lifted her leg, and walked over.

Seeing her walking, Rose and Mason were both frozen.

What happened?

Why is the damn lame here?

After a moment of doubt, Rita had already arrived.

Rose returned to her senses and forced a smile, “It’s such a coincidence, Rita, you too...”

“Unfortunately, I’m waiting for my second uncle and aunt.”

Rita’s tone was cold, as she interrupted someone’s questioning.

Waiting for them?

Rose was taken aback and murmured, “Wait...Wait for us?”

Rita stretched out her hand and took out a piece of paper from her pocket, and passed it over, “Don’t bother, Charlotte is not in the detention center. She has already been sentenced and transferred to prison.”

Rose was shocked, her face went pale.

She didn’t have time to think about it, her hand took the piece of paper in front of her faster than she thought.

She looked at the pages of paper suspiciously, and her pupils suddenly dilated when she glanced at the three large letters of the verdict.

Verdict?

Just these words alone cause Rose to tremble with anxiety surging.

In a panic, she sped read through the whole content.

This is not someone else’s judgment, it was Charlotte’s.

The verdict was very clear. Charlotte had been sentenced to two years and three months imprisonment for intentionally hurting others.

Holding the piece of the verdict, Rose’s figure shook slightly.

Balancing her body, Rose turned her head to look at Mason behind her and asked hurriedly, “This... What’s going on? Isn’t Charlotte’s case only going to court next week?”

Mason, who knew nothing, was also at a loss, and his eyes fell on Rita again.

With their eyes facing each other, Mason was stunned by the coldness in the girl’s eyes.

He didn’t know why, he had always felt that Rita had changed a lot, as if... As if...

There is no warmth in her eyes.

It emitted a cold that made people shudder.

At this time, Mason’s mind was full of Charlotte’s matter, and had no time to bother about the cause of Rita’s emotional changes.

He shook the verdict in his hand and asked, “Rita, what’s with this?”

“I applied for an early hearing not long ago, and the hearing day was today.” Rita squinted at the opposite person and explained briefly.

When Amelia regained her sanity, she guessed that Amelia would take action.

Amelia had used this trick of bailing for medical treatment in her previous life, but it was not used for Charlotte but the second uncle, Mason.

That time, Mason drove into prison because he was drunk. Amelia felt sorry for her little son, so she thought of such a trick to get him out of prison.

Therefore, she expected Amelia to use the same method to rescue Charlotte. She applied for an early hearing just in case.

Although she knew that Amelia would definitely take action, she felt hurt when she saw Rose and Mason who brought their lawyer.

The last glimmer of hope she had for Amelia was completely crushed.

As for Amelia who is her grandmother, she would never have any hopes on her anymore.

There would be no concessions and scruples in the future.

“How dare you apply for an early court hearing, Rita? You deliberately putting Charlotte to hell. As an older sister, you have a vicious mind!” Rose gritted her teeth angrily and cursed angrily.

If it weren’t for Mason who stopped her, Rose would probably pounce on Rita.

Rita looked at the crazy Rose with a grin, “I can’t compare to Charlotte in terms of viciousness. My cousin schemed and broke my leg and schemed her own grandmother which almost killed grandmother and uncle! Second aunt, don’t you think so?”

Rose was infuriated.

Rita released her frown, and continued indifferently, “If Second uncle and second aunt want to use the method of medical parole, please go ahead. But allow me to remind you, you better know your limits

and not go overboard. Else, you would be sad.”

In her last life, Amelia had fun!

Rita left a word coldly, turned, and left.

All that was left for Rose and Mason was her aloof back.

Rose heard those words and chuckled in her heart.

Rita knew their plan from a long time ago, so she applied for an early hearing.

Was she deliberately pulling them down?

Rose was suddenly silent while holding the verdict, the air suddenly condensed and made people feel uneasy.

At this moment, Amelia’s car also rushed over.

Amelia got out of the car and looked at the two of them with puzzled eyes, “What are you doing here, is it done?”

“... Mom, Charlotte has been sentenced.” Rose spit out a word with teary eyes and fell to the field weeping, “Rita, that wretched girl, had already guessed our plan and applied for an early court hearing behind our backs. Charlotte has been sentenced today!”

What... What?

Charlotte was sentenced.

Each word was like a heavy hammer that knocked Amelia’s heart.

Amelia’s face turned pale, and she suddenly couldn’t say a word.

It was all for nothing.

Not only that, but she was also afraid that it’s the end of the relationship between her and Rita.

When she returned home and had got to face Rita, what should she say?
