Adeline shook her head: "If you go with me, how others guess our relationship will also cause you unnecessary trouble."
"I don't think that much, I just think..." He paused for a moment, and a glimmer of light shifted in his gaze: "Would you be afraid?"
The tender and concerned words made Adeline's heart soft in an instant, and she recalled her grandmother's words, Felix seemed cold on the outside, but in fact he only had one person in his heart, that was absolute tenderness and consideration, a thousand kinds of doting.
He is very good at spoiling women!
But is this love exclusive to him? Is there any other woman who also has it?
Adeline felt a tightness in her chest at the thought of this. Indeed, people can't endure hardship, but once they taste sweetness, it's easy to get addicted.
She pushed him away gently and gave him a bright smile: "Look down on me, I haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of? I'm leaving."
"Well, call me if you need anything. I'm on call 24/7!" He said that he lowered his head and kissed her delicate productions.
She glared at him with a smile: "I would be too proud to have Mr. Felix on call 24 hours a day!"
He laughed, with a clear and pretty face: "The wife is naturally more face-saving in front of the husband, you go, don't waste time."
Adeline nodded, tiptoed and kissed him as well, then left.
The car stopped in front of the People's Court. This family property seizure case had long been a hot topic in Jincheng. As soon as Adeline got out of the car, many reporters surrounded her, aiming their long and short at her.
"Miss Adeline, how likely are you to win this trial?"
"I've heard that you've already signed the equity transfer agreement. Why do you change your mind and come to snatch it now?"
"Is it because you are short of money after breaking off the engagement with Frank ?"
Adeline sullen: "Please don't make wild guesses. Let's talk about everything after the result comes out, thank you!"
She said no more and then another car came in, the door opened, and it was Zoe and Zoey.
Both of them were dressed simply and had a dismal makeup, looking pitiful. As expected, when the reporter asked Zoe, she began to pour out her grievances: "Since my brother and sister-in-law died, I have been taking good care of her. I never expected that instead of being grateful, she would kick me and my daughter out. She didn't learn well herself and started to have trouble with men outside when she was young. I, as an elder, said a couple of words and she would fight with us mother and daughter!"
After saying that, she wiped her tears with a heart full of sadness, which made the people around her feel extremely sympathetic, and her impression of Adeline fell to the extreme.
Adeline gave the mischievous mother and daughter a cold look, too lazy to say anything, and went straight in.
Seeing that everyone around her was defending her, Zoe stopped when the lawyer reminded her that it was time to enter and pulled Zoey in with her chest held high.
Capet swept over Adeline's side and laughed: "Mom, look, she doesn't even have a lawyer."
Zoe raised her head smugly: "Then she's even more likely to lose."
The lawyer she hired was one of the top lawyers in Jincheng, with a winning rate of 90 percent. Winning a CASE like this would be a piece of cake.
But as soon as they finished speaking, a man in a suit with glasses pushed the door open. He was in his thirties, good-looking and very refined.
Zoey's eyes lit up and she said sourly, "Adeline, this despicable girl, not only finds a good-looking man to keep her as a pet, but even gets a good-looking lawyer. How shameless!"
Her voice was so loud that Adeline couldn't help getting angry and stood up to retort. Tang Zhi shook his head at her, indicating that there was no need for her to arse with such a man.
He gave the other lawyer a faint smile and said, "Lawyer Zhang, I never expected to meet you again. I hope you can hold on a little longer in front of me this time!"
Mr. Zhang's face was pale, his body wobbled, and he couldn't speak.
Zoe displeased: "What are you doing? Did you not expect him to provoke us? Put on a show!"
Lawyer Zhang's face turned pale and blue, then he put down the document in his hand and said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that her defense lawyer was Tang Zhi? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken this case!"
Zoe frowned: "What do you mean by that? You don't care if he's Tang Zhi or Li Zhi. We'll just give you the money to handle the case properly."
Lawyer Zhang gritted his teeth and simply didn't know how to tell the ignorant scoundrels that Tang Zhi's reputation was a godlike existence in their legal circle, he had never lost since his debut, and he had been fortunate enough to fight him a few times, and each time he suffered a crushing defeat!
"I can't handle this case, you don't know Tang Zhi search online by himself, you find another lawyer!"
He said he was about to leave, and Zoe immediately pulled him back. How could she find another lawyer at this time? In fact, she had heard of Tang Zhi's name when she was looking for a lawyer, and naturally knew his position in this Jin City. At that time, she also wanted to hire him, but she couldn't even meet him, let alone hire him.
No one expected that Adeline woman would have such ability to get Tang Zhi. It must be the man behind her who did it.
"Mr. Zhang, how could I find any other lawyer at this time? How about this? I'll double the price. What do you think?"
"I can play, but if I lose, don't blame me!" Zhang said hesitantly.
"How could that be? This case must be won, and then double the price, is that okay?" Zoe gritted her teeth and offered generous conditions.
Lawyer Zhang took on the case to make money. After all, there was the equity transfer document, and the evidence was solid. Even if he faced Tang Zhi, he still had a chance of winning.
He nodded: "All right, I'll try my best!"
Zoe and Zoey smiled and looked at Adeline with even more contempt.
Adeline saw that they were muttering to each other about something, but she thought that they were also speaking ill of her, so she turned her face away.
The trial began and both sides started to make their statements. When Zoe stood up, she deliberately pinched herself to make her eyes well up with tears: "Adeline is my beloved niece. Actually, I'm very sad that we have come to this. But the Canhua Company was left by my elder brother. I don't want it to be defeated by someone of bad character like her, and I don't want my brother to be in the netherworld..."
"I protest!" Tang interrupted coldly, saying, "Please ask the plaintiff to elaborate on the matter related to this case, rather than to express meaningless sentiments here."
"Protest is valid, plaintiff, please restate!"
Zoe was filled with resentment. She had intended to say a bunch of pitiful words, even writing several pages of the draft and deliberately memorizing it, but was blocked in her mouth after just a few words. She was so angry that she spat blood.
She was not in the mood to say the rest of the statement, and just took a couple of random sentences, looking at Tang Zhi with a resentful gaze.
Adeline smiled at her dejected expression. She still thought this was a vegetable market and everyone liked to hear her talk about some nonsense.
Tang Zhi was indeed the top lawyer in Jin City, blocking Lawyer Zhang's continuous defeats, and he could only keep emphasizing that she had signed the equity transfer agreement, which had legal effect.
He held on to this point, and Adeline retorted on the spot: "I was forced. At that time, Zoe had someone hold my hand and had to write it."
"What about the evidence? Is there any evidence that Miss Adeline said?"
