Chapter 404
Samantha looked at the distraught Amy and said, “I can get you lawyer from Betrico. He specializes in these types of cases. Don’t worry. This jerk doesn’t stand a chance once my lawyer steps in.
“However, there’s one thing you need to be aware of: accusing l’atrick means openly exposing your own wounds to everyone.
After you report this, the media will definitely cover it since Patrick is a director at Argrol University, and it can’t go unnoticed. I can introduce you to a great lawyer, but you must be determined.
“No matter how much gossip you face during this process, you must keep going with the lawsuit; otherwise, I won’t be able to help you.”
Samantha knew she was not a good person, nor did she have the compassion to meddle in others‘ affairs. But today, since she came across this situation, with Yvette and Andrew willing to help, she couldn’t ignore it.
The condition, however, was that Amy back down; otherwise, even the best lawyer would be useless.
Yvette paused momentarily, her face showing no expression as she put her phone away.
Andrew’s eyes lit up, thinking, ‘A lawyer who specializes in these kinds of lawsuits? Who else could it be but Benjamin? If he comes to Seacrity to help Amy with the case, Patrick might lose everything, even his last piece of dignity?
Andrew asked, “Samantha, are you talking about Benjamin? You want to ask him to come and represent Amy in court?” He was surprised that Samantha would step in to help Amy.
Benjamin was a nationally recognized lawyer on Samantha’s company’s legal team. He pursued Samantha years ago. They were childhood neighbors and grew up together, but Samantha never fancied him.
In the end, Benjamin had to step back and work with the Mitchell Group as their chief lawyer. He’d been with them for eight years now, realizing there was no chance, and was planning to leave soon to start his own law firm.
Seeing Andrew’s gossip–hungry expression, Samantha gave him a light smack on the back of his head. She said, “Yeah, it’s him. He’s leaving next month but will handle this case before he goes, just as a farewell.”
Andrew clicked his tongue twice. He gave Samantha a thumbs up. He thought, ‘She is a true capitalist. It’s shameless how she can make exploitation sound so justified.
Amy stared in shock at the people before her, especially Samantha. She could tell Samantha was not ordinary. She had previously worked part–time at a luxury store, and Samantha was dressed in head–to–toe limited edition pieces.
Amy thought, ‘Is she really going to help me find a lawyer? Has heaven really sent someone to rescue me?‘ Her life had been dark for so long that she couldn’t believe someone would appear to help her.
Andrew looked at the stunned Amy and said casually, “What are you standing there for? My sister’s asking you if you’re determined to get this jerk in jail. Go ahead and say it.
“The lawyer my sister found for you is the best in the country for this sort of thing. With him on the case, you’re sure to win.” Amy wiped her tears and nodded right away. She said, “Thank you, Ms. Mitchell, for helping me. I’ve already decided. No matter what others say or how they judge me, I’ll keep fighting. I will make Patrick pay for what he did.”
Samantha nodded and said, “Alright.” Then she turned to Yvette and asked, “Yvette, should we call the police now or wait a bit longer?”
Yvette glanced at Patrick and said, “No need, he won’t die. Let’s wait for someone to arrive.”
Chapter 401
Samantha just realized Jeresiah was gone. She wondered where he had gone.
Andrew looked at Patrick, who was lying on the ground in a pool of blood, he wrinkled his nose in disgust. He thought, Is he dead already!?”
Charles glanced at Andrew. He replied as if he knew what Andrew was thinking, “He’s not dead. The stab didn’t hit a vital part. He can bleed for three more hours, so it’s not a big deal.”
Amy calmed down. She stood up and tidied her clothes. She put on a jacket and bowed deeply in front of Yvette and the others. She said, “Thank you, Yvette, Mr. Mitchell, Ms. Mitchell, and this gentleman.”
Andrew waved his hand dismissively and said. “Just helping out when I saw someone in trouble, no thanks needed.”
again. She said. “Thank you, Yvette.”
After Amy finished speaking, she bowed to e
Yvette lifted her gaze. Her eyes were cold and indifferent. Her voice was calm and cool as she said, “There’s no need; I didn’t really do anything.”
No matter what Yvette said, Amy knew in her heart that Samantha’s decision to help her was because of Yvette. Everyone present was focused on her.
Ten minutes later, Jeremiah pushed the door open, and to everyone’s surprise, Simon, the president of Argrol University, was right behind him.
Simon’s face was heavy with concern; he was clearly aware of what had happened.
-Patrick had done something that severely damaged his reputation. It was disgraceful for a teacher’s conduct to be so
appalling. Nothing like this had ever occurred in Argrol University’s hundred–year history.
Simon knew that after today, this news would spread everywhere by tomorrow. Patrick had destroyed Argrol University’s hundred–year reputation in an instant.
Jeremiah walked over to Yvette, lowered his eyes, and spoke sincerely, “He called the police himself.”
Yvette lifted her beautiful eyes to look at Simon.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Meeting Yvette’s gaze, Simon nodded at her. Then, he turned to Amy. As for Patrick lying on the ground, he didn’t spare him a look before heading straight to Amy..
It was the first time that Amy stood close to Simon, especially in such a tense situation. It was impossible for her not to be scared. She feared Simon would tell her to keep it quiet, just to let it go.
She was worried that Simon would side with Patrick, thinking she was trying to seduce Patrick by any means to secure her spot. She feared Simon might tell her to forget about it and threaten her with not graduating if she spoke up.
She was concerned Simon would blame her without knowing the facts, thinking it was entirely her fault.
Amy’s nerves flared up again. She nervously raised her head, looked at Simon’s serious face, and said, “Mr. Sunderland, I…”
Noticing her nervousness, Simon made a calming gesture to Amy and said seriously, “Amy, I know everything about this matter. Rest assured, the school will not cover for someone like Patrick.
“I have personally called the police. The school and I will fully support any decision you make without hesitation. The school will take care of all legal fees and any associated costs. Don’t worry.
“Of course, I understand this can’t make up for the harm you’ve suffered, and I’m truly sorry about that. As the principal, it’s my fault for not discovering this sooner.”
Hearing what Simon said, Amy immediately burst into tears. She felt it was her fault. Initially, she thought if she exposed
