My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

"What? The side that was supposed to win the lawsuit ended up losing and even received a prison sentence?" Sydney was confused by the unexpected result.

Officer Miles nodded. "Yes, that's right. In civil disputes, it is possible to be sentenced to prison. You can imagine just how powerful that lawyer is. Besides that, there is another case involving fraud. Party B borrowed one hundred thousand dollars from Party A but failed to repay it within the specified time. Party A sued Party B for fraud and invited this lawyer to be their legal representative."

"And then they won the lawsuit, right?" Sydney speculated.

Officer Miles shook his head.

Besides Sydney, Julien had a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Sydney saw it and hurriedly said, "What happened then? I'm really curious."

"Alright." Officer Miles stopped keeping her in suspense. "In this lawsuit, the lawyer hired by Party B was just a fresh intern, and Party B failed to repay the loan. By right, he was bound to lose. However, something happened on Party A's side and angered his lawyer. In the end, the lawyer betrayed his hirer. Not only did Party B not have to repay the loan, but Party A also had to bear the legal costs." Sydney was stunned by this turn of events.

After a while, she finally found her voice again. "I can't believe things can turn out this way."

"That's right." Officer Miles took a sip of coffee. "In any case, this lawyer has gained quite a reputation not only in the field of law but also in the business world. As long as you seek his help in a lawsuit and don't offend him, the final result is bound to satisfy you. Even if the judge's verdict complies with the laws and regulations, if you feel it's too lenient, the lawyer can make the judge reconsider and revise the sentence. There are cases like this."

"What do you mean?" Sydney asked, looking at the officer.

Officer Miles looked at her, saying, "For example, a criminal suspect committed a crime that wasn't particularly heinous a couple of years ago. According to our country's laws and regulations, he would have been sentenced to ten years. However, the victim's family was dissatisfied with this result and felt it was too lenient. Then they approached this lawyer, and with his help, the sentence was changed to twenty years. The most impressive case was when a life sentence was changed to the death penalty."

"Wow, that's amazing. No wonder people in the circle like to hire him for lawsuits. With such an unbeatable record and the ability to fulfill the employer's wishes, it's not surprising that people in the circle unanimously protect him. After all, losing such a talent would be a huge loss," Sydney commented.

"That's right." It wasn't Officer Miles who responded this time, but Julien. "I tried to poach him, but he refused."

"He rejected the olive branch extended by you, a renowned CEO. He's quite a character," Sydney said with a smile.

"He certainly is." Julien agreed, raising his chin slightly.

"Weren't you upset about it?" Sydney asked, tilting her head.

Julien chuckled. "Why should I be? He's a talented person, but that doesn't mean I can't function without him. So, when he rejected me, I didn't force him. Everyone has the right to make their own choices. I can choose him, and he can reject me. It's perfectly normal. I didn't feel embarrassed or find it hard to accept."

"Your magnanimity is truly admirable," Officer Miles sincerely praised.

It was worth mentioning that wealthy people were often proud and had strong self-esteem.

After standing at the top for a long time, they become accustomed to flattery and sycophancy.

In their dictionaries, the word "refuse" no longer existed.

They believed that if they chose someone and invited them to work for them, the other party should readily agree, or even be grateful.

Refusal from the other party led them to think that they were being looked down upon or that others would laugh at them. They might even take action to ruin that person, as if only then could they vent their anger.

These were not baseless accusations, but facts. As a public servant, Officer Miles had seen too much of it.

That was why the officer was shocked when he heard Julien say that it was normal for the lawyer to reject him.

After the shock came admiration.

'No wonder Julien could surpass those old folks in the business world and bring the Flint Corporation to the pinnacle. His magnanimity and openness set him apart from those narrow-minded people in the circle.'

Officer Miles was not the only one who admired Julien for it. Sydney also gave him a thumbs-up.

Julien looked at her soft thumb, and his eyes darkened as he reached out and pulled it to his lips, giving it a light kiss.

He would not refuse such an offer.

Both Sydney and Officer Miles froze.

But the officer soon snapped back and quickly lowered his head.

Deep down, he wondered what was going on.

They were talking about business. Why did the two suddenly display their affection?

Didn't they know what place this was?

At such a solemn place, they...

Officer Miles turned pale and livid, but he didn't dare yell at them.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend either of them.

He could only look away.

Sydney came to her senses, quickly pulling her hand out of the man's grasp and subconsciously glancing at Officer Miles.

The officer was turning his cup with his head down, but his action made Sydney cringe.

Apparently, he had seen everything, and his pretense made him even more embarrassed.

It was all Julien's fault.

He seized any opportunity to take advantage of her.

She had told him so many times not to do this in public because it was embarrassing.

But Julien wouldn't listen.

And now she didn't bother to scold him again.

After giving him a warning look, she forced a smile and called out to the officer.

Officer Miles looked up and cleared his throat. "Alright, done with your business?"

He glanced at her and then Julien.

Sydney was even more embarrassed to hear that.

Julien, however, remained composed by dint of his brazenness. He simply gave Officer Miles a look.

Sydney took a deep breath, fought back the urge to rub her burning face, and said awkwardly, "Sorry about that. We..."

"It's okay. You guys are a loving couple." Officer Miles quickly waved his hand. "I can totally understand it."

"Well... Thank you for your understanding." The corner of Sydney's lips twitched.

Officer Miles cleared his throat again and said, "So, let's continue with our topic. Where did we leave off?"
