Chapter 797
Matthew was completely dumbfounded by her words, and he could only wave his hand in resignation. "Think
however you want, Aunt Chloe. This is none of my business anymore, so don't askabout it
either!"
With those words, he got up and promptly went upstairs.
Chloe continued yelling at him as he walked further away, "Who are you bluffing? Do you think | can't hire a
lawyer myself? Lettell you this-I know a law firm that my husband's company actively works with! I'll let
them handle it first thing tomorrow! Mark my words; I'll be coming for you if their fees turn out to be lower than
that friend of yours!"
Matthew didn't want to prolong their interaction, so he closed the door without responding to her.
Meanwhile, Chloe sat down on the sofa in a huff. "How do you guys put up with that garbage, Helen? Who does
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthe think he is? | knew something was wrong as soon as | heard the amount last night. Little did | know that he'd
raise the price again today-he's obviously trying to scam us. Even though your family is covering the fees for us,
| simply can't sit by and let it happen. That good-for-nothing only wanted to take the opportunity to feed his own
pocket!"
In response, Helen waved a hand at her sister. "Calm down, Chloe. I'll go with you tomorrow to find another
lawyer if there's no other way! How can a trivial matter like this take so much money to handle? | just won't
believe it."
Chloe nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Before long, Sasha chfrom work.
"How'd it go with Mr. Manning, Mom and Aunt Chloe?"
She had no idea what just went down.
Just then, Minerva quickly butted in as she sat by the side. She said, "Oh, Sasha-your husband is one hell of a
man! It turned out that he was actually colluding with an outsider and trying to scam money off his own family.
Tsk, | really don't get it-what exactly made you marry him?"
Sasha frowned in return. "What on earth happened here?"
Minerva recounted the incident from earlier while adding unnecessary fuel to the fire.
Sasha was momentarily stunned after hearing it. "H-How did you even cup with that, Aunt Chloe? Mr.
Manning is a renowned attorney at Carson Law Firm; his esteemed nis known all around Eastcliff. It's hard to
even see him around, much less have a conversation with him-he charges by the minute. Moreover, he took an
entire day to help you with this and we finally cto an agreement with him. How can you drive him away just
like that?"
Chloe stiffened up instantly. "What? That can't be right... How can someone like him be a well-respected
attorney? He crunning just after a phone call from Matthew; how could he possibly be sbig shot
lawyer? Don't be fooled by Matthew too, Sasha!”
Sasha was so irritated that she could only brush her aunt off dismissively. "Sure sure, whatever. Go ahead and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsettle it on your own if you think you can handle it, and | won't be involved anymore. However, letmake it
clear-since Mr. Manning's price was 1.6 million, that's the most I'll be contributing. | won't pay a cent more than
that!"
Helen frowned and said, "What do you mean, Sasha? Your aunt only did it for your own good-she was afraid that
we'd be scammed. After all, he did tell us last night that it'd take one million to solve the case, but he increased
it to 1.6 million all of a sudden..."
Sasha raised a hand in front of her. "Stop talking. Did you say she did it for my own good? Is this the way to do it,
though? If she really means well for me, she should discipline that son of hers and stop him from stirring up
trouble left and right. Besides, Mr. Manning did say that it'd take a million at least! Do you even know what that
means?"
Chloe's brows knitted uncomfortably. "I know you aren't happy with covering for what happened this time, Sasha.
However, do you think we wanted this to happen? Tate used to drive all the twhen he was abroad, but this
has never happened before. He's just unfamiliar with how things work back hbecause he just returned, and
he wouldn't have gotten into trouble if it weren't for that. Why do you make it sound like we plotted the accident
on purpose?"
